Started using Startpage a few months ago at the recommendation of a co-worker. It uses Google instead of Bing for search results, which is why I started using it, but I learned that it describes itself as:

"an Industry-leading omnichannel digital marketing platform, powered by Machine Learning and AI, that monetizes internet traffic by putting the right ads in front of the right people at the right time."

Bought an active 25ft displayport cable for 2K@160 and now I can shove my PC into the closet and forget about it

The jet engine (during BG3) now has a muffler xD (Yes, IK I need to set fan curves)

I am one of those people that gets very annoyed with moderate ~~buzzing generated by piezoelectric elements~~ coil whine and tends to just ignore it if I can. My win10 ltsc desktop with an rx6700xt was buzzing like a cicada bug and it was SO annoying, but I figured it was an issue with the hardware and moved on. (It's really loud, and is triggered by mouse movements and the invisible windows scheduler. Something to do with interrupts). Well I booted into my forgotten linux distro that I use for testing and it's gone now. I use this computer exclusively for fitgirl repacks and steam games but now I am seriously considering putting linux on my main drive since I don't have to listen to that fucking sound.

Adding this to the list of things windows sucks at xD

I haven’t had an online or in-person friend in maybe 2 years. I had a friend maybe a few years ago that I drifted away from due to us losing interest. It’s really wearing on me. The only person outside my family that I speak to often is an old bud, but that’s limited to sharing memes and not much else. I’m in a place where I want to branch out to others but… they may reject me, lose interest in me, not treat my feelings with respect, or confront and dominate me. That fear entirely spoils any motivation I have to talk to new people. It just feels like any interaction I might have will place me in a worse state than I already am, which is kind of like a neutral zone. I always feel funny because it’s like I’m dying of thirst but am scared of water.

All your memes are mine

1. It's me, my son.
