I'm sorry you're unable to adapt with the changing times, this seems like a personal issue. 2FA definitely has issues but you've failed to highlight any of them in a meaningful way besides "I've been inconvenienced because I'm lazy or forgetful".

It was a gift from a friend. I got her to take it down, swear words being one of my arguments. Wish I didn't have to use it though. Bumper sticker was removed too.

Yep, been getting a few of these giant warning signs recently. There's the aforementioned, a "RESIST" bumper sticker on our car, a "Fuck the Patriarchy" needlepoint hanging in our kitchen, attending Women's Marches locally and Schenectady. A persecution complex, basically.

Ha, fair enough.

Honest question: how often do open relationships work? I don't think humans are wired to handle it.

Looking for advice from ED/Contagion players. I'm considering eventually transitioning to the popular bow setup for ED but I'm still hesitant for a couple reasons. The bow offers less cast speed than two wands. And I'm actually not sure how to best utilize the 6L in my chest that ED would...

The only platform exclusivity I'd like to see is Linux. So tired of Windows(at home and at work as a dev) and games are the only thing that are keeping me there.

I've been liking the nexus now that the rewards are there. It takes a bit to figure out the paths, but it still feels worth it. And I like the "hurry" that decay can add to zones. It does help that I'm playing a Trickster with tons of cast speed, so this has to be one of the fastest builds...

Lots of games I've not played due to console exclusivity. Epic's store is new, thus people are being vocal about it. Old concept, new area.

Welcome...to the real PoE.

They'll never forgive you.

She makes quite a bit less than me but I'm trying very hard to not let that influence this situation. I've already had this dialogue with myself, just haven't had the balls to just lay it out there. Every new slight or inconvenience is easier to cope than the big pain of a divorce. I'm not...

I agree with this. The insecurity comes from having to memorize that, a stipulation from perl lover, ensuring reuse or compromised password strength. If you're storing your passwords properly in a vault instead of your head, then I have no problem with those types of passwords.

Well, she's married to me, so yes. Also, yes. She has a long history of trying to medicate that issue.

That does not tell me what your de facto agreement on money is.

I agree, it does. That's why I pushed for to get a second opinion.

I never said I liked that said. The wife and I share a bank account because I like full transparency. Maybe you should detail your money situation with the missus because that seems to be important.

I keep giving her attention but she keeps saying no! I'm honestly not a doctor, I know I'm not educated enough to make that kind of call. I can be suspicious of the method of diagnosing, the rise in popularity, and the lifetime membership. But I'm not sit here and say "yeah, I know it ain't...

Well, I'm assuming, I guess incorrectly, that you share a sole bank account with the wife. If you have another account set aside with the understanding that you do with it as you please, then she has no ground on which to stand. I agree with @lurkingdirk, if that's the case here, as this is...

The amount doesn't matter, you better forget that shit quick. You violated her trust, plain and simple. Circumstances might have mitigated this fight, but that would be my response to loaning $100 to a family member too.

I get that you're mad, but there's no way insecure passwords only hurts those they belong to. We use 2FA at work, it's a small usb key that requires no battery. Plug it in, press a button, a random set of characters appear as my username and then I input my password. As a backup, if I forget...

Why is that a shame? Divorce might be the right answer in his situation. In other news, my wife says I "bullied" her into going to the doctor for a second opinion. When I asked how that is even possible, you're an adult, she said "You don't get to decide how your actions are interpreted by...

Aiming ED does indeed suck, luckily you don't have to cast it much. It should last through a boss burn phase easily. Soulrend, you shouldn't really need to aim. 4L Bane with 6L Soulrend should push you over 1M dps with ok gear.

If you link your character, I can critique a bit more indepth. For reference, here's my Soulrend + Bane or ED PoB. An extra link will help a lot. Slower proj does absolutely nothing for you. Soulrend does a TINY bit of damage on hit, but otherwise it applies a debuff that does damage. The...

Cymbalta is one of the meds she's on. Not diagnosed by a specialist, a general practitioner. I have been pushing her to see a different doctor. She actually has something lined up tomorrow morning, but I'm not sure it's "because I want to get better" or "to shut him up". She's still mad at...

When is she going to publish her True Blood fanfic?

I didn't like ED/Contagion while leveling either. And I still get that nagging feeling when I spend two casts to kill a pack that one soulrend or bane(or mostly any skill for that matter) would have taken care of. But, at the same time, get an outdoor map or the arcade memory fragment, you...

Yeah, I'm not sure I'd want to try an open marriage anyway. I can easily see myself looking forward to spending time with the other person, not my wife, and it's pretty easy to see how that kind of dynamic would end. I mean, that's the root of the issue right now. I don't look forward to...

No second diagnosis. She doesn't even like the doctor that told her she has fibro yet continues to visit said doctor. Does nothing to manage the disease except take multitudes of pills and supplements. People's reaction to adversity(and I realize I'm probably guilty here too) is the most...

Soulrend should have enough dps for end game bosses. Without fancy +level crafted bows/staves, you're going to be looking at 1-1.5M dps though, nothing impressive. No DoT build relies on one source of damage though. It's common for Soulrend builds to supplement with a 4L of Bane, ED, or...

Unrelated to noodle thread: I told my wife that she's a bummer to be around. In terms of wanting to have sex, this was a mistake. But it's the honest truth, this stupid fucking fibro is taking over every facet of her life. Her feet always hurt. Or her back. Or her head. She's always tired...

I have no problem with the body image stuff either. If my wife gave me something concrete I could work to improve, I'd probably be ecstatic. As long as it wasn't something faggotty like wanting me to grow a beard and wear flannel and skinny pants. The hypocrisy is just galling, that's all.

I understand the conversing part, I'm the same way, I need to talk with *someone* to vent my anger. She could stand to be considerate about how and/or when she does it though. As for body image, that boggles my mind. Just reverse the genders in that scenario and imagine how long that would go...

Sure, I can agree with that. I doubt the people that value such an experience would be able to generate an overall profit at that price point though.

So your "better" system is dependent on there not being any stupid people. Maybe you're one of those stupid people.

I'm not avoiding assholes in the movie theater just so I can invite them into my house for a higher price. I can't scratch my balls in front of people, even if I like them. Gotta cleanup beforehand and then afterwards because wife. Can't wear pajamas. 20 people don't fit in most people's...

$100 to rent this...gtfo. Entertainment is getting cheaper, not the other way around. That's a good way to price yourself out of the market.

You have a better system?

Been playing it a bit. Trickster cast speed, pack size, and area of effect definitely makes a difference. I last tried it while leveling and it sucked. It's kinda hard to chain indoors, but it's damn good out doors where you can kinda herd packs together. Reminds me of D2's Cow Level or D3's...

How does it feel when it takes a couple casts to kill a pack and it chains nowhere? How often does this happen?
