Rants: Everyday Venting

[Romulan_Furry]

I swear, sometimes my mother can be a complete, asinine, self-absorbed, self-centered sociopath! Never mind what I want, never mind I like to enjoy my life and free time in my own way, never mind I have my own tastes in food - it's all about what SHE wants, and what SHE wants is completely unrealistic. I would try to explain this to her, but no - what the f*** do I know? I'm just the mentally-unstable pile of s***.

Lately I've been feeling more like a machine than a living being. That is I've been feeling to damn tired and worn out to actually feel anything emotional. I can and do feel like I'm doing everything wrong though, and that every good moment is going to be ruined or balanced out by something going wrong.

Got into a fight with a friend over some stupid shit. I went up against someone who was fluent in Krav Maga and taekwondo. Can you see my stupidity yet?

I have an appointment with a neurologist a few days before my birthday. I'm glad I'm finally gonna get my issues looked at, but at the same time I'm friggen terrified.

Best of luck with that. Seeing a neurologist myself for stuff. Just do as they say and they will do what they can

Okay, I don't think this laptop is supposed to need 80% of it's available CPU power on loading a YouTube video. It increases the CPU usage to 100% and making everything lag. I'm gonna have to back up some important data and get a new laptop stat, because I think the one I have now is ready to hit the dust at this rate. That, or I keep this one but will be unable to watch any videos or play games on it later on. Yeah, that sounds great.

Tbh I needed a new laptop to do what I was planning to do anyways. Just, now the laptop itself is basically forcing me to. Not so happy about that.

it could be a GPU problem.

[Brisky]

That doesn't sound very logical. Graphics processors and central processors are the entirely different animals.
If the GPU was broken then the CPU can't simply fix it by taking over it's job. It would just cause weird stuff to go on with the display.

Normally I'd check it by opening the case and checking if the CPU is abnormally hot, but you do have a laptop so that makes it less simple. :I

Actually the CPU can do graphics processing (just not very efficiently compared to a GPU) and in the absence of a GPU the CPU will take over graphic processing (an example would be if a GPU driver breaks, the computer can't recognize it so it will use the CPU as the current GPU.) A GPU could also theoretically be used as a CPU but again it would be a terrible idea (GPUs branching is extremely inefficient compared to a CPU). At the end of the day they're all turing complete processes, just designed for different things. However I agree that it's probably not a GPU.

To me this sounds like a virus rather than a hardware problem. Is it only when watching youtube or using a browser? You could have picked up a malware that does cryptocurrency mining on your computer, they're easy to remove if they're in the browser. If it's all the time it could be a more serious malware that's rooted in your system.

[Michen_S]

It's the browser, and it mostly spikes whenever it's loading something. Hence why videos are so laggy, because the system does a lot of loading (especially at the beginning). After the entire page is loaded completely, the browser stabilizes again.

And no, according to Task Manager the GPU has nothing to do with this issue.

EDIT: Never mind, it was an add-on Firefox auto-installed to the browser during the last update. Why didn't they just let me know, it could've saved me a lot of trouble.

Flying home to surprise the famil for Thanksgiving. All going well, stuck in St Louis as planned. USO is hull of **censor** soldiers. Fine, whatever. I can try to sleep on the floor, not like I sleep well anyway. After about 2 hours of being half asleep, this **censor** brushes up against me lightly. For some reason, it instantly bolted me awake and into fight mode. Came damm close to striking about at his knee, I could have really hurt him. Welp, no more trying to sleep tonight, still waaaaaaaay too uptight and coming down off the 100% adrenaline dump

Welcome to the military where anything will make you jumpy as hell should be over it soon enough

Typical. Just f***ing typical. It seems that for the second year in a row, my Christmas wishes are gonna be disregarded. Why is it that I have to think of everyone else's Christmas wishes, but no one can be expected to think of mine? I wasn't asking for much. But no - what the f*** do I know? What the f*** do I know about what I want? I just know more about tech than any of the a******s in my family! No, it seems I'm being disregarded AGAIN in favor of that lying Aryan sociopath that calls himself my younger brother, and that insufferable know-it-all that calls himself my youngest brother. I'm just the tolerated retarded outsider of the family. Who gives a f*** about me?

I'm starting to have serious misgivings about this so-called "family" and why I should be any part of it.

My Chinese final is going to be impossible. Literally over 120+ characters and he's gonna choose a random 20. Thank gosh the final is only 20% of the grade.
