  • Not reading the original post explains a lot. It was really not convincing by any means. The social awkward 22-year old with a social butterfly dad getting his son a 27-year old woman to date him. And of couse dad's even paying for the whole show. And what does the 22-year old social awkward son do? Humblebrag on Lemmy, hoping to make it less obvious by complaining about how dominant his dad is. Nothing about this story works. I'm not saying that weird things don't happen in real life, I've seen a lot that was much weirder. But there are certain principles which act as boundaries. There is real weirdness and there is weirdness only found in fiction. And this story absolutely belongs in the second category.

  • There is no such thing as consensual arranged marriage. Nor is it a thing in Asian cultures to have the woman being significantly older than the man, it's the opposite. And then there is the fact that it's not about marriage but a date so there is no connection to this romcom fantasy anyway, with the possible exception that the social butterfly dad may have simply paid the woman to date his son (Prostitution).

  • There is no evidence for how this could have worked for real, at least not how it was portrayed. If it's just a case of covert prostitution, sure. But no "normal" woman would agree to such a date no matter how much of a social butterfly this dad is. Especially not women who are much older than the guy (5 years difference is a lot in this age range). I mean, come on, that's literally the plot of a bad romcom.

  • I had similar issues in the past because of stuck keys. And those keys weren't even part of a shortcut or any other software function to control the particular element that went bonkers. It can be random keys you would never expect.

  • That's true.

    It wasn't a good one though because back then they all were just based on very narrow bell filters which barely changed the sound. It took a while until subtractive crossovers in graphic EQs became a thing.
