Jumping in, I also have a lot of BPD experience (example, a marriage of well over 10 years).

This is very BPD-adjacent. I’m not saying OP’s gf has it per se, because there is no way we can know from here, but this is definitely on brand.

If you read between the lines, the social conversation could written as this:

“Heading home, I need support”

“I’ll support”

<Doesn’t support>

<She feels abandoned, fight or flight kicks in and it turns her attachment-avoidant, results in silent treatment>

<OP gives space, which is interpreted as further abandonment>

<OPGF can’t take it anymore, and asks questions that feel like they’re out of left field because in fight-or-flight kicks in, clear thought is nearly impossible>

<OP finally gives reassurance that he didn’t abandon her>

<Normalcy continues>

RyanLiu@lemmy.world read through this comment chain, therapy is the answer here.

Yeah I don’t blame you

There’s two on eBay right now, and one of them has a signed letter from the author.

Don’t have that type of two-to-one in LEGO bricks. You’d need a 1x2 plate and then plug the head stud into the middle indexing pin of said plate.

I played the new Creeper World IXE demo, and it was excellent. Looking forward to the full release!

Similar to what other have said, I’m allergic to gluten. I helped my nephew with a middle school project where he had to build a tower from dry spaghetti sticks and marshmallows, and about five minutes in my fingertips were extremely itchy.

I also know my version of this is very mild compared to some.

Don’t forget that you’re also allowed to ask them to play, if you should feel like it

ITT: OP has not discovered the name for this feeling is “depression”.

A lot of us are rooting for you OP, even if you don’t want to hear it.

I know it’s not technically what you said, but I did envision a baby with a Michael Clarke Duncan voice, and I found it pretty funny!

Proton is incredible. Linux has come so far in the last couple years for gaming. I’m running Intel/Nvidia (which used to be a big no-no), playing 99% of what I want to play with no issues. If I ever see issues it’s usually a game that uses anti-cheat. Even the vast majority of my games work fine now. Controller support is simple too.

I’m guessing another year an I won’t have Windows in my setup at all.

Noob here, also curious to this…

I mean…

Curious and trying to learn:

How does Linux extend the functionality of a laptop?

Taking the tag off a mattress.

Looks like it. His name is William Henry Davis

Aww fuck, is that what does it?

Could be. I do have some significant Thinkpad experience (going back to the IBM days) and I do know that they will not alter the model number regardless of what’s in the machine, but you can pull a build sheet from their website with the serial number. Do you know if your HPs could have had this happen? Was your distributor HP or elsewhere? (Not hating, just curious!)

Capacity loss over time is a decent idea. The 2nd Gen machine has an 11th Gen chip, vs 10th Gen in the Gen 1, and quiet possibly is able to burn more power quicker as well. Thinkpad power consumption is also definable in the BIOS or Vantage software for many of them, so those settings all could vary.

Normally I’d be happy to help troubleshoot this sort of thing but frankly I’m not sure OP was looking to chat.

You should contact Lenovo and let them know their spec sheets are wrong. Because they say exactly what I just said.

Not my problem if you have aftermarket modifications to them.
