  1. I know. Not all dems are smart. I think they were red state/district dems that can’t afford to lose voter support and figured there were enough GOP votes to where their “symbolic” votes didn’t matter.
  2. Counter-point: motherboard prices are out of control, they’re even worse than GPU price bumps. A basic-bitch motherboard is still like $200+, and that used to be the mid-range price just a few years ago. $450-600 used to be the “omg, lol, why?” stupidly over-speced top-end crazy-person “you definitely don’t need this” priced motherboards that would have like 4-6 full-speed PCIE 16x slots with individual lanes for each. Now, $400-550 is the mid/upper mid-range, and $1100-1600 is that “omg lol” range. I priced it out as I want to bite, but despite the crazy CPU deals, pricing on the motherboards that I’d want that hit all the features/ports/etc that I’d need (plus pricing in RAM since I’d need DDR5) would be $810 for a 13700k build (even going with a Z690 to get cheaper mobo) and $1000 for the 7800x3D build. If you’re building completely new, that’s not including a case, PSU, GPU, CPU cooling (that’s also gotten way out of control price-wise unless you’re doing mid-range air cooling), case fans, SSD(s), etc. CPUs are definitely falling like rocks in prices, but JFC at some of the rest.
  3. I never insinuated it was representative of a presidential election…?
  4. Look, can’t I just enjoy all the crying on my town’s FB page?
  5. My chud-filled township just voted in a Dem for Mayor and BOTH Dems that were on the ticket for Township Council, all by high margins. I legitimately cannot remember the last time a Democrat won in my town, let alone winning everything on the ballot.
  6. "Please Don't Destroy" are typically the best skits (pre recorded) on SNL each week. I'm 100% in for this
  7. Exactly: a bunch of 80 year olds hoping it’s their grandchild calling and has Fox News blaring in the background.
  8. I’ll go with the former because you gotta wonder “who the fuck is actually answering their phone to an unknown number in 2023 for these 1200 people polls”

  10. "There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, 'Fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me—you can't get fooled again!'" George W. Bush
  11. lmao “I just wanted enough time to release my own!” is, iirc, what everyone ITT (as you said, non-idiots) theorized his motivation actually was. I seriously cannot understand how this ass spelunker has the cult following that he does
  12. The current “Israeli Government” (leader) had less than 30% of the vote. EDIT: I don’t really think most ITT are really arguing a moral high ground for Israel.
  13. The thing is, if Israel wanted genocide or ethnic cleansing, I’m pretty sure they’d start with the 1.52+ million Palestinian-Israelis living in the country, then move onto the additional 2 million Arab-Israelis, and also not allow either group to be trained by or serve in the IDF. This doesn’t excuse the atrocities of war and extreme civilian casualties in Gaza, but… words/phrases have meaning.
  14. It’s around 10% of the population of Israel, but that’s total for the area and not just the more-recent expansions that set this off.
  15. Well, you see, Israelis are a monolith held accountable with blanket statements whereas Palestinians are individuals.
  16. There are some insane LG OLED deals happening: people are getting 65” C3s for around $1k at Sam’s Club, and I’ve seen some 77” C3s going for $2k and lower. If you’re lucky and check a local Best Buy you might be able to get a C2 on clearance for an absolutely crazy price (like 77” for sub-$1k crazy). The C3 sales that have been happening are often cheaper than refurbished C1s and C2s on Woot.
  17. I edited my post before you replied, this is what I edited: I think "third world" or even simply "developing" is kinda too broad.
  18. Every list I checked had their GDP too high to fall under what is typically considered "Third World" economically. In terms of inequality/human rights and what not, yes. EDIT: to clarify, they were being listed as "middle income" countries.
