It is always hard to know what to write here, because based on my experience you can never tell which conversation with a random internet stranger will click. Things like matching personal interests or hobbies not always make any difference on how successful an encounter here will be.
But still, you need to know something, right? I don't buy the "I don't need to know your gender or age or anything about you, we are just two human beings talking" thing. I the end we need to connect on some level, and to do so we need to have some picture or few assumptions in our head.
This is becoming longer than expected... so to make long story short - if you want to chat with a semi-geek who works from home and tend to overthink things - I'm your guy

Hi there,
so I'm a little torn on what I should buy as a new gaming setup. My budget is quite small (500-750€) and I want to play some of the new releases (Hogwarts,... ) and some older demanding ones (Cyberpunk, RDR2, Elden Ring,... ) in 1440p, maybe 4k in the future with an upgrade or when I can afford a 4k Display/TV.
My current setup is an upgraded old Xeon Server PC with a w3680 (6 core, 3.6Ghz), 12Gb and a 1650 Super. Unfortunately this is barely upgradeable, since there are no ram slots left and the PSU is only a 475Watt. (Upgrade not worth the money imo) It runs fine and I can game most titles with pretty good fps at 1080 up until now, but since new games also require more Ram and I would like to upgrade to 1440p, I want to see what is the best thing I can do with my budget.
Do you guys think it is worth building a PC right now (I probably have a better budget in 3-4 years) or buy a console and be done with it. I'm kind of leaning to the console because it has good value, and since I should be able to use my current Setup another 3-4 years without problems (hopefully) for my day to day.
But I would love to hear your ideas.
I would also like to be able to play starfield when it comes out, so if it is the console it is probably gonna be the xbox, although I like the PS controller more..
TLDR
Current Setup: old 6 core xeon, 12gb ram, 1650 super (unupgradeable, but working fine)
want: play games like HL, Cyberpunk, Starfield, RDR2 in 1440p, maybe 4k
budget: 500-750
Time till next upgrade(estim.) : 3-4 years
Console or budget PC?
Bonus: Ps5 vs Xbox
Sorry for my baby english, don't write too often in english

Idk how I was supposed to put this on askreddit, so here we are. I would like to know if anyone has some nuance to bring to this.
I was always skeptical of what these VPN operators were trying to do in terms of privacy or security. I do understand that VPNs are convenient as proxies or shields for denial of service attacks, but not much else. There was a swarm of these companies throwing bones to every youtuber and Twitter tech addict on the planet, and then Tom Scott's video on the subject dropped https://youtu.be/WVDQEoe6ZWY
I think this video does a great job of explaining the absurdity of these ads, and at least anecdotally I saw a lot less of these for maybe 2 months after this video was published. However, the VPN sponsorship tsunami seems to be in full force again, with small tech (!) vloggers saying all the same stuff over again. We also know that quite a few of these companies store and sell any telemetry or other data that might be of some monetary value.
Fwiw, I can let people that just show a banner+a link to these services slide. I do understand that you shouldn't turn down ad revenue if thats your business, but why parrot this nonsense that VPNs keep you private on the internet, or protect your personal information when they just don't? I don't think anyone should trust people that agree to doing these integrations. I personally advise anyone to not engage with content or individuals promoting these services as such, but its so overwhelmingly prevalent to the point of being unfunny.
Tl;dr I wish people would take ad money from scummy VPN companies without spreading lies

Hi Guys, I am pretty far in my current career. I work in finance/accounting with good educational background and big names on my CV. I have a relatively high salary and a low-stress job. It all seems perfect but the problem is I am not that much into finance/accounting. This means that I don't feel very engaged at work and I also don't feel like I really want to grow within this field.
I always liked computers and new technologies. I would be interested in programming even if the pay wasn't that great. I am just trying to decide if I should focus fully on it right now and see where it would take me or if should I just abandon this idea and just stick to my current work considering that I am 36 and have a career already built somehow. What are your opinions?

Kogla and Yidaro 2RRGG: Legendary Creature - Ape Dinosaur Turtle
7/7 with
When Kogla and Yidaro enter the battlefield choose one - * It gains Trample and Haste until end of turn. * It fights target creature you don't control.
2RG, Discard Kogla and Yidaro: Destroy up to one target artifact or enchantment. Shuffle Kogla and Yidaro into your library from your graveyard then draw a card.
Card
Big dumb Gruul stuff just keeps winning, this card just has so many options. It can be a Gruul version of [[Slice in Twain]], a 7/7 with Trample and Haste for a turn, perfect for taking down battles or planeswalkers, or a 7/7 that fights on ETB. So that's enchantment, artifact or creature removal all on the same card. Locking away the use of the discard and shuffle effect makes me thing this won't be a great commander but I could see it as a highly included card in any Gruul deck, and especially [[Gishath]].

Richard Schwartz' book, No Bad Parts, describes them as such:
"These are parts that are not young and vulnerable. Instead, they are often impulsive firefighters that your managers lock up because they hurt someone or have that potential. Or because you were raised with parents or in a culture that shamed you for having those parts."
My question is: Is it that these protectors-in-exile aren't young and vulnerable, or is it more-so their not JUST young and vulnerable? Or, are they just by nature more adult than other parts might be?

Hi!
I was hoping to go on a trip with my boo the week of my bday (May 17th) but I have no idea where I should go. I'm an outdoorsy person (but not super athletic) and I don't want to spend my whole trip just relaxing and drinking (maybe for like a day) but I would like for it to be an adventure of sorts; see some sights, experience some experiences, eat some good food. Ya know, all that. I live in the US and would like to stay in the US. Somewhere with good weather in May that’s worth a 5ish day trip. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
That said, I have never planned a trip anywhere before. I was hoping to get some advice on how to do research on areas and itinerary planning, booking flights and accommodations, getting around, budgeting, things to remember, etc etc. What do you wish you had known the first time you planned your own trip?
Thank you!!

We are The Crimson Clan!
"FS ON TOP" XD!
This is our in-depth crimson codex,I hope you enjoy.
We are looking to gather a committed community of about 7-10 players to do some Avalonian roads, hardcore expedition maps and faction warfare. We hope to group about once a week, possibly more.
We will run sets in lethal pvp zones that cost about 500k silver. (Including mounts) This is so that we have a chance to kill people but also that if we die we wont end up broke. If you can afford more feel free to bring it, you'll probably end up impressing the rest of us. If you cant afford or are unable to bring that much, do not worry, we are a family and we will do our best to keep you safe and we will show you how to get to our level while expressing yourself through your unique set of gear. Bring what you want in non-lethal, it will be more for testing stuff and having a laugh. I love seeing people trying out new things and silly ideas.
As you can see we support Fort Sterling in faction warfare. We are not bigoted besides a few digs and jokes (Fart Sterling vs Lamehurst) and its not a requirement to join the guild but you will be unable to join us in Fort Sterling faction warfare related content. One of my goals for our guild is to take an outpost using only guild members, that would be a pretty incredible feat.
As for hardcore expedition maps, I know very little about them and the experiences I've had with them ended very badly. None the less if we gain 5 members I would like to try a level one map. If we get wrecked, I'm ok with that, I still want to give it a try and I will cover the expenses.
Recruitment opens on the second of April 2023 for our first event: Ava roads famefarm.

Hi Guys.
I had impacted wisdom teeth until January of this year. As you can imagine, my other teeth took the hit for keeping them into my mid-30s.
I had a cavity on my lower molar, where my impacted tooth sat up against it. In August, a dentist attempted to fill it while my wisdom teeth were still in. This caused great discomfort to the tooth, and I had to go back for a root canal.
​
I've since had my wisdom teeth removed. The oral surgeon let me know a cavity still exists on that lower molar. The dentist did tell me he was 'filling the cavity blind', because my wisdom tooth was in the way.
Went to my dentist this week; she advised me its a cavity below the gumline.
​
I'm getting it filled early in April. I'm worried; is there a chance I will need yet another root canal? Lose the tooth?
Your thoughts are appreciated!

This evening I sat down thought I would give TheDevs Treasure Hunt a go, all 24 seed words are available on his newly minted NFTs. After finding all the words I went to work and I picked my main seed word for the next 10000+ combinations.
I was only on to my 31st combination attempt, I’ve gained access to a wallet, pretty excited I entered the “new” password, once I was in and saw the wallet I noticed it was not TheDevs wallet.
Understandable what I did was something like 6 trillion to one, but I was amazed that I crack someone’s wallet that wasn’t part of The Treasure Hunt.
I hope that the true wallet owner wrote down their seed and we’re not relying on the password.
This should come as a warning, do not keep all your crypto in one wallet.

Note, this is only about growing a audience.
​
First and foremost, edits, music, transitions , etc.. all that shit is meaningless, its like sprinkles, its great to have but if the cake itself is crap it wont change anything.
With that being said, become a subject matter expert in something you care about. I talk about language learning, I don't teach english I talk about HOW to learn english. Why should the audience listen to you? In my case I learned spanish to fluency in my 20s, something that is objectively difficult that taught me TONS of lessons and has altered my perception of the world. My passion for the subject bleeds through the camera, its infectious. The spanish gives me TONS of credibility. I'm at the level of spanish where I clap back at haters in their OWN language, with their own slang, that make other natives of their language laugh. You CANNOT be afraid to defend your thoughts/ideas.
CONTENT is KING, ask yourself this. WHAT value does my content bring to people?? If you can clearly answer that question your channel will blow up. In my case its, I help people learn languages effectively & quickly, I open the world up to them , I remove this idea that fluency in a 2nd language is impossible, i'm a living breathing example of how its possible, I tell them IM NOT SMARTER THAN YOU I just work harder, and people resonate with that. I'm not a genius. ADD value to their lives. it's no more complicated than that.
People Follow you because of the VALUE you bring into their lives. Its not about YOU , it's about THEM.
I talk to my audience directly , I tell them in english and spanish what I think, how they should study languages, what their goals should be, how to overcome fear of speaking. I tell them , I'm not your teacher i'm your guide. At the end of the day they have to put the effort in. I don't sell them on bullshit, i don't sell fluff, i'm ME , i'm RAW, i'm authentically myself, no frills. and people fuck with that.
I clap back at haters, people TRY me in the comments, i respond back with a video. I don't take shit from cowards behind a screen. People connect with that. It takes balls to put yourself out there on the internet.
Literally I just rant in my bedroom or my backyard on my iphone, no edits, no music, no posting schedules or any fancy crap. Although I will start professionalizing this later. Right now i'm in my early Alex Jones days, just rants off the dome.
​
(excuse any spelling errors, i'm writing this rant from my iphone)
​
Also if you check my charts, I kinda fell off for a period because I went through a terrible break up and didn't post for like nearly 2 weeks.

i’ve never called a place before but i saw a specific acrylic nail design on their instagram that i really loved but i’m not sure if i should ask for it on the phone or in person and show them a picture?
how do u go about it when you want a design on your nails? :)

Hi Guys!
I don't know if this is the right sub to post, but anyway here I go. So I had ordered few minimalist accessories from an insta page on 21ST JAN 23 ( I had ordered for my bday which was on 26th and she had promised to deliver by the week ).
2 weeks pass by and i continuosly follow up and there's no update. Then after nearly 4 weeks, she texts me back and says my delivery got lost by the courier company and she gave me options to either re deliver or refund, I was a stuuuupid period and chose to re order be because I actually liked her products.
Note that this wasn't a fake page, my fam and friends have ordered previously and the quality was genuine.
It's been 2 months now and I have been following up constantly, there's no update. She sometimes answers the calls, but claims network issues and cuts and never writes back.
So is there any suggestions as to what can be done or legally can I do something?
Would appreciate your advice.

Hi everyone!
I know the recruiting process varies from place to place, but I wanted to hear your thoughts on this.
I applied at a company as an associate project manager about two weeks ago. I’ve applied at this company a few times before, for the same position, and I’ve gotten rejected in just a matter of days. This time however, I can see that my resume is still classified as “new” on Jobvite, and I found out this morning that they reposted the job offer on their LinkedIn.
I know that when it comes to job hunting, you should always expect the worst and move on to the next potential job, but I have no idea what to make of this situation because it’s never happened to me before. Are they possibly trying to get as many candidates as possible before reaching out? Or could there be another reason? I’m aware it could mean anything, but I figured that some of you might know what it could mean, since I’m still a beginner at this.
Thank you!
Edit: To clarify, I’ve always heard back from that specific company everytime I’ve been rejected in the form of an email.

John Wick 4 is finally here. Find out how to stream the Keanu Reeve’s action franchise movie John Wick: Chapter 4 online for free.
Over the course of three films so far, we’ve seen the consequences of what can happen when one of the world’s greatest hitmen comes out of retirement. John Wick, AKA Baba Yaga or The Boogeyman, is a man who is not to be trifled with under any circumstances, yet criminals can never seem to learn their lesson. This incredibly popular series began with John (Keanu Reeves) seeking revenge on the men that invaded his home, stole his car, and worst of all, killed his puppy, Daisy. From here, endless complications have prevented John from returning to retirement as he has traveled around the world and gone on the run. Now, in John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023), we’ll get to witness the titular hitman’s greatest challenge yet as he seeks revenge on the High Table. A council of highly respected (and feared) crime lords, they run the criminal underworld’s most powerful and notorious organizations; so needless to say, John has a punishing task ahead of him.
​
Chad Stahelski’s sequel impressively outdoes the critical success of its predecessors, with John Wick: Chapter 4’s positive reviews being the best of the franchise. The movie already holds a Certified Fresh 93% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, which is higher than the two sequels’ 89% scores and the original’s 86% rating. John Wick: Chapter 4 is also expected to be the franchise’s biggest box office success yet, meaning it’s apt to enjoy a long exclusive theatrical window before releasing on streaming.
​
If you’re excited to see where this highly anticipated action series goes next, we’ve got good news for you, because the latest installment is clocking in at a massive 169 minutes. It’s also out incredibly soon! Keep reading below to find out when and where you can see John Wick: Chapter 4.
​
Here’s your guide on how you can watch the highly anticipated action movie John Wick 4 streaming, the latest installment in the John Wick franchise.
​
When Is John Wick: Chapter 4 Release Date?
John Wick: Chapter 4 will first debut exclusively in theaters on Friday, March 24, 2023. It’s hard to believe that this is nearly two years later than its originally intended release date of May 21, 2021!
​
If you would rather wait to watch it from the comforts of home, keep reading below, so you can learn more about the movie’s streaming and home media release details.
​
Where to watch John Wick 4:
As of now, the only way to watch John Wick 4 is to head to a theater when it releases on Friday, March 24. You can find a local showing on Fandango. Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait for it to become available to rent or buy on digital platforms like Vudu, Paramount, Apple and YouTube, or become available to stream on Peacock.
​
Following its release in theaters, the film will be available to stream on Prime Video. Expect the movie to hit the streamer 45 days after its theatrical run, which should be sometime in May. it’s most likely that Peacock will be the main platform that will stream John Wick: Chapter 4.
​
Is John Wick 4 Available Streaming on Peacock?
Not Now,Lionsgate struck a massive distribution deal with Peacock that gives the streaming service exclusive rights to its films’ “Pay 2” streaming window (via THR). The agreement means that after Lionsgate’s films have their initial streaming releases on Starz, the movies, like John Wick: Chapter 4, will later be available to stream on Peacock. Since Lionsgate hasn’t even confirmed the official streaming release date for the John Wick sequel on Starz, don’t expect to see the movie land on Peacock until at least winter 2024 after the deal officially kicks in.
​
Pay 1 windows typically last between a year to 18 months, meaning that if John Wick: Chapter 4 begins streaming on Starz in September 2023, it isn’t likely to join Peacock’s movie library until September 2024 at the earliest. Peacock and Lionsgate’s deal confirmed that releases like John Wick: Chapter 4 would start streaming on the service in 2024, so the latest movie will most likely be on Peacock in fall 2024. By this time, John Wick: Chapter 4 will be available alongside the entire John Wick franchise for streaming on the platform.
​
Will John Wick 4 be on Netflix?
No, John Wick 4 will not be available on Netflix — at least not anytime soon, since it will be heading straight to Peacock after its theatrical release. In the meantime, you’ll just have to wait for it to become available on the NBCUniversal-owned streaming platform.
​
Is John Wick 4 streaming on HBO Max?
John Wick 4 is expected to stream on HBO Max at some point after its theatrical run. No official streaming release date for the movie has yet been given, but as it comes from Warner Bros., it will likely arrive on the platform after its cinematic debut barring some unprecedented events or a unique deal.
​
Is John Wick 4 Available On Hulu?
Viewers are saying that they want to view the new movie John Wick 4 on Hulu. Unfortunately, this is not possible since Hulu currently does not offer any of the free episodes of this series streaming at this time. It will be exclusive to the MTV channel, which you get by subscribing to cable or satellite TV services. You will not be able to watch it on Hulu or any other free streaming service.
​
Is John Wick 4 streaming on Prime Video?
Amazon Prime Video subscribers might be disappointed because ‘John Wick 4’ is not a part of the streaming giant’s library. Alternatively, you have the option to turn to similar films using your subscription, including ‘Smile,’ ‘Bram Stoker’s Dracula,’ ‘Let the Right One In.’
​
The bad news is that the movie is not likely to come to Prime Video. Paramount Pictures movies used to head to Amazon Prime Video about a year after the theatrical release, but that’s changed with a lot of movies recently. Instead of heading to Prime Video, they’ve gone to Paramount+.
​
Is John Wick 4 Streaming Online?
Well, not right now. In terms of the streaming release, John Wick 4 will most likely follow the 45-day theatrical window before being available to stream online. Due to Peacock’s multi-billion dollar acquisition of Lionsgate (the franchise’s production company), it’s most likely that Peacock will be the main platform that will stream John Wick 4.
​
