  • Think of a base and look up what highlights or contrasts it. Red or Blue calls for black or white, or maybe brown to beige. Green when dull calls for browns. Orange calls for black more than white, some darker blues or jeans too. Purple and violet like green, or grey or beige. Pink goes better with white than black. If you want several look at how flowers combine the multiple colors (besides all the green). Those are the combinations that generally are enjoyable to see.

    Edit: I just wear black or blue as a base and add red as highlight most of the time. Red shirt. Red belt, white and red shoes. And for whatever else I have specific outfits I don’t mix with anything else. Somethings I look like a metal head with band shirts and long hair. The next day you’ll see me wear basics and light jeans with a straw hat.


  • Not sure if I’m taking the bait but here goes.

    Science is a set of processes where you take belief out of the equation. You can start with something akin, which when you have informed belief you have an hypothesis which you set out to prove. You don’t hold that as truth and anything not falsifiable is not a valid hypothesis.

    Science is not a religion, it’s just a thing. Plenty of people need to belief to function and end up having (even a blind) faith in science, using it as a religion.

    On your second point I’m with you on the last part though I think you are calling religions and believes things that are organized religion and religion.







  • Met my girlfriend through OK cupid too, and had the same experience. But I can tell you the app got tinderfied over the years. Used to be you’d just be able to message people and see how you matched from looking up. When I last used it it already hid people behind a swipe system, only allowing people to talk when they both had swiped right. The swiping apps usually feel they’re used by people less interested in what I wanted. For op I’d tell him to use OK cupid if he likes to answer those profiling questions and wants to find someone who also does. For swiping, tinder works best.





  • Had a talk with some friends a while back about this. Used to be this big far away country with wonders and crappy things. And it’s turning into scam center galore because the only contact we have these days is the weekly scammer. To the point we’ve come to associate he accent with the situation. It’s really an undeserved fate.



  • High end gaming laptops are a curse. It’s a package that cannot be performant, you simply don’t have a good space to cool it and keep it portable. Focus on it has made a big part of development in good hardware to be restricted to space and heat efficiency in a non optimal package.

    Desktop is the way to go for gaming, you get much more affordable power and bang for your buck. If you want a machine for gaming you want a space where you can chill out and be confortable, desktop on a table with a good chair and nice monitors are the way to go and cheaper than the laptop counterpart.

    Laptop is pretty handy for taking it to wherever you need it. But you cannot enjoy that high end performance on a comparatively tiny screen. If you are just carrying you laptop from desk with monitors and keyboard to another, you’re just using a less effective and expensive desktop in two spots.

    Even for working, it’s handy to have a way to take your stuff elsewhere, but the way workstations work you’d much more benefit from having a cheaper desktop at you office and/or home and have a notebook to stream the content you need.

    All the while all the money and research spent on high end laptops and graphs cards that live in them is being used to fuel a worse product that will invariably overheat and not work at full capacity.




  • I do that when I don’t work but will Monday, or after the holidays. But when I actually had time as in, I’m not going to have to be back to work for a long time, I’d start picking up useful stuff. Turns out the sleep in and games/ depressive state comes from expecting to have to go back to the routine again. That’s why how you react to time out when you are still pressured to have to work eventually doesn’t give you a good answer to this question.
