I personally like to keep it on. Most of my messaging is with family and friends and it's good to know if someone read or hasn't read my message.

Especially if things are time critical. Picking someone up? Asking if they need anything from the supermarket? If I see that they read the message I know that they are going to reply in a moment. If they didn't even read the message I won't have to wait around / can guess that they are currently in the car or wherever.

Sometimes you also have a spotty connection, so the received + read receipt can tell you if they actually got your message.

In general if someone sends me a message and I read it.. I'm going to fucking reply to it (if I'm not super busy, and even then I might send a quick message back). I seriously don't get people who just leave things on read and then forget about it.

And oh shit, when you say you built it yourself: Did you use the Motherboard Standoffs (if they weren't already in place in your case)? If you didn't use them you might get random short circuits.

Have you actually checked that all the cables are firmly in each socket? On both sides, at the back of the PSU and on each device (Motherboard, GPU, ..)?

I'm Austrian, German is my mother language. So I got a good idea what it means :)

I'd interpret it that the person builds walls and then is sad about it afterwards because it pushes people away. Which happens often, you're not in the mood to hang out with friends, you don't like making plans, you're annoyed.. and at some point they won't invite you again. Then you're sad about being lonely.

But the NAS is in your house.. which basically means if it gets flooded/burns down all your data is gone too.

I already have my data on my PC, a second backup inside the same house isn't worth that much. But instead of relying on a cloud service I just rent a virtual server (for various things) and use Seafile to keep my data in sync.

PC breaks? House burns down? My data is on my own server in a datacenter. My server gets cancelled? My data is on my PCs.

So even with your NAS you are 100% reliant on a cloud backup still, so why did you get the NAS when you already have a copy of your data on your devices?

One is not like the others. "Mauerbauertraurigkeit" is a German word, what the fuck.

Basic translation would be "Sadness of the wall builder" (Mauer = Wall, Bauer = Builder, Traurigkeit = Sadness). Didn't expect that right there, maybe it's something similar to Schadenfreude?

That easy, beginning of the pandemic: Companies panic that all their employees would call in sick. Or some even die (not that they'd care, but a lot of companies have a bus factor of one). So remote work gets tolerated or praised, everything works great.

Now the pandemic is "over", it's safe to go back into the office. Companies have massive real estate costs, so they want to put their employees back into the office. Besides middle managers being afraid of their jobs as they seem to have become useless if they can't look over your shoulder and micromanage you.

It's never about facts, it's always what the companies and managers want in the moment.

Are you sure you properly deleted them? Reddit rate limits you to about one edit/delete every 3 seconds. If you go faster than that the deletes fail.

All the comments I have overwritten stayed that way, it was just difficult to reach them all (as different comments show up under "Top", "Controversial", "New" and so on).

I'm still talking about NFTs here, not Amiibos.. and in the case of an NFT you don't even get a physical object to look at.

The "default option" you bring up is useless. What value does it have if I "own" a playing card ID, but the card isn't implemented in 9 out of 10 games? And the tenth game shuts down after a year, so now my card can't be used anywhere. It's idiotic.

As it's just an ID I probably don't even have any card image or stats or whatever, it's a worthless value in a database (blockchain in this case).

Nah, after each upgrade you just open up an old game to see how well it runs. For about an hour or so, then you never actually play :)

All your examples still go back to each and every game having to implement that item. There is no "default option".

And if every game has to implement each item.. they can just leave items out. Or block them. Or say they are invalid. Or change them (buffs/nerfs). So you might think you are holding a unique item that only belongs to you, but in reality it's worth nothing as it can be removed with one click from any game you might want to use it in.

Which makes an NFT not an ounce better than having that item in the game's database.
