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.

I never insinuated it was representative of a presidential election…? -

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. -

Exactly: a bunch of 80 year olds hoping it’s their grandchild calling and has Fox News blaring in the background. -

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” -

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.

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.
