Was talking to a friend (woman) who said she feels like women are infantilized while on their periods and treated like sick children who can't do basic tasks and that despite being in pain and not feeling well she is still an adult who doesn't need to be waited on at every moment

Your favorite genius ever?

This was before you had all the pretty and young teachers that get themselves into trouble for molesting their students. These were the days you had the strict, mean, and old teachers with watermelon-sized boobs that mandated you use cursive writing. Ahh... the 2000s

"Melting Pot" is a term that was used to describe Americanization in which immigrants adopt American culture and abandon culture from their home country. Modern terms include "salad bowl" or "mosaic" or "kaleidescope" in which different cultures mix but retain distinction.

It's a text based choice game meant to simulate someone's life from birth to death through seven stages of life. The game plays out through several episodes as your choices change your character's personality and status. Like a older version of Bitlife

I feel bad for the rest of the world who don't get to enjoy the penguins, kangaroos, and countless plant species that we do here in Australia. I feel like moving the tectonic plate to the north by clawing to the soil and fartng violently southward is the only solution, because zoos don't keep crazy people like me for all to see.

I'm considering to maybe buy an external monitor to somewhat artifically extend the lifespan of my gaming laptop. I have HDMI 2.0 port, so the above options are what I can aim for; I don't have DisplayPort and I think my USB-C port is too slow, so the refresh rates would be halved RIP. Not even gonna bother have HDMi-DP cable.

My laptop is Acer Nitro 5 AN515-54 and the specs are Windows 11 23H2, i5 9300H 4C/8T, GTX 1050 MaxP, Intel UHD 630, 3GB GDDR5 96-Bit, 16GB DDR4 2666MHZ, 500GB SATA SSD, and FHD IPS 60HZ. Kind of broke atm and too stubborn to upgrade to a new PC, so buying a monitor and maybe external keyboard are most I'll do.

Already have a cooling pad, undervolted my CPU and iGPU, and disabled overhead crap like VBS/Core Integrity. I sadly can't modify certain dGPU settings without modifying the vBIOS, but that can potentially brick my GTX 1050. I know GPU bound games will run worse at higher resolution, but CPU bound won't.

By going for an external monitor, aside from larger viewing for increased productivity and reduced bodily injuries, I can have overall better display specs. I can also bypass Nvidia Optimus completely as my UHD 630 displays everything for laptop screen, while GTX 1050 if active renders which brings additional latency.

I currently have FHD 15.6" IPS 60HZ 20ms SDR laptop monitor for my Acer Nitro 5 AN515-54 and FHD 6.6" Super AMOLED 120HZ 8ms SDR phone display for my Samsung Galaxy A34 5G. I'm looking to get an external desktop monitor for my gaming laptop, but I don't know if I should settle for IPS or OLED. I know that going from IPS to IPS isn't significant, but laptop monitors are vastly inferior to phone, tablet, desktop, and television displays. Ok well, television displays are only superior in fidelity but performance is garbage to compensate for them being cheap lol.

Since OLED has superior color accuracy, contrast, saturation, etc., I don't give a damn if it's HDR or not. I want the monitor to be FHD 240HZ Curved 1ms GSync/FreeSync 24"; I can settle for 180HZ and 5ms though. Since my HDMI port doesn't support beyond 144HZ for QHD nor above 60HZ for 4K, I'll pass on those when I can upscale with DSR anyways. Sadly, my laptop doesn't have DisplayPort for the dGPU (only for iGPU) and I'm not sure if I can even use my USB-C 3.1 port for external monitors. I probably can but the refresh rates will probably be worse than HDMI, which I don't know for sure but I suspect it's 2.0.

I’m not a fan. I’m voting C
