How can you apply "think before you speak" if it isn't feasible to pause for 15 seconds between every sentence you say mid conversation????
  • Social skills, as the name implies, are meant to be trained, maintained, and expanded over a lifetime so don't discount yourself because you feel like you're too old or have tried and failed for too long. Have you considered seeking behavioral therapy? Perhaps you're not picking up on the myriad non-verbal social cues that could help you better inform your conversations. Behavioral therapy can help identify where you're lacking and give you the opportunity to practice skills and receive feedback from a professional.

    I sincerely wish you the best of luck.

  • You don't need to give explicit details of your coworkers' lives, but from your writing it really seemed to me that you were more interested in mechanically optimizing conversation. This isn't necessarily a bad perspective, but people already do that organically by understanding each other more and learning their history. The route of good conversation follows logically from there through empathy.

  • You're descriptions kind of make your coworkers like NPCs. If you want to have better conversations you should probably get to know them better as people. That can allow you to understand the why of their particulars and eventually guide your conversations more organically.

  • Proton's biased article on Deepseek
  • Apologies, I misread your comment and though you said protonvpn was untrustworthy. I'm not a VPN user so I'm not up to date with the rep of any of them, but I am a proton mail user so I was worried about the technical integrity of one of their products

  • 20 million players have joined Marvel Rivals
  • I've been liking Magneto as well, but I hate his sound design. There's nothing about it that tells you his powers have anything to do with magnetism or controlling metal. He sounds like he has generic fantasy psychic powers

  • How do you voice chat without bothering roommates?
  • If you want to reduce how audible you are outside your room you can add some sound dampening material to your walls and door and seal air cracks around your door. Those black spiked foam wall panels or heavy curtains are probably best for sound dampening, but something as simple and cheap as paper egg cartons on your walls will greatly reduce how much sound gets through.

  • Balatro Dev Calls Out PEGI For "Real Gambling" Rating Hypocrisy Vs. EA Sports FC
  • It's true that playing for money is a huge part of playing poker at all, both casually and professionally. Does that mean a game just teaching poker hands should be considered as adult as actual gambling? If so, a game like The Binding of Isaac should get the same 18+ as Balatro since it has actual slot machines that you put money into, but instead it gets a 16+.

  • Headsetcontrol: max safe polling rate?

    I just got myself an Arctis Nova 7X and have been trying to get chat mix to work using HeadsetControl and Nova7ChatmixLinux. The latter uses the former to poll the Nova 7X for the current chat mix balance. The creator set the polling rate at 1/sec which is a little long, but I fear it may be for hardware safety reasons. I got the Nova 7X because my Arctis 7 died with suspicious timing. I had installed a version of HeadsetControl with a gui that had polling rate adjustment and the 7's transmitter stopped receiving power shortly after I set the polling rate to 1/sec.

    Has anyone fiddled with these projects and the Nova 7s and have any insight into polling rates that may be unsafe?
