I’ll be at 0 score from the person im arguing with and still be like “what was wrong with my comment!!”

I think it’s fair if it’s really not obvious at all but yeah kinda ruins the joke a lot of the time

ah yeah I figured it wasn’t quite right, I just remember seeing the codec on the details and figured it was tied to it, thanks.

On codecs and bitrate? It’s basically codec = file type (.avi, .mp4) and bitrate is how much data is sent per second for the video. Videos only track what changed between frames, so a video of a still image can be 4k with a really low bitrate, but if things are moving it’ll get really blurry with a low bitrate even in 4k.

This is what makes it feel pretty unfair to me, because many people that’s just not their personality. What if the person I really want to be is someone pleasant to be around but MOST people wouldn’t really want to date? I.e. being really esoteric, being quieter, really standing up for what they believe in (to the point where it’s annoying for 99% of people), whatever.

I know many people like that and I’m like yeah this person is nice fun to be around and pretty cool, but they’re too extreme in one way or another. Don’t get me wrong they COULD still find someone, but if you’re weird/different then your pool is a little reduced, and if you don’t want to be the center of attention it’s reduced multiplicatively. It’s like them being nice and pleasant and being the best version of themselves is great, but it can still be really really difficult for them to find someone.

He never deserved this

Yeah worst part is it makes you unsure later if people are just pretending or not. In college I wouldn’t trust people weren’t just pretending to like being around me as a joke :/ takes a while of actually being appreciated to get over it…

I wonder if this is a common experience because I’ve had basically the exact same thing happen to me. It’s like it feels inauthentic but also they’re saying nice stuff that no one ever does so I don’t really want to tell them to stop…

It’s the same reason people will go on tiktok or Instagram or reddit all day, gambling is a very “rewarding” behavior, which is now the only one they have left. They know they’re losing money and wasting their time, they just feel even more miserable if they stop.
