Remember a short term investment is generally 5 years.

Yeah, it's not that it's not a good deal, it's that I'm blown away how much prices have climbed over the past few years in general that this IS a good deal

Oh, not saying it's a bad system by any means, it's a great build - just I remember pre-covid building PC's thinking $2k+ was costly, and thinking "How can I spend $1000 on a 3090? This seems insane.." - then compare to now,,

When $3k + pre made desktops can be considered a good deal it's rough times for us all

No, honestly working from home has too many negative effects on my mental health / jobs seem to expect more from people at home than in office for some reason

As much as I don't like office politics etc, I need to see other living people in person regularly or my brain plays tricks on me

For annual that's crazy good.

Auto-renews,
Will try to bill you off and on for at least 2 months (They were hitting an old bank account of mine that I hadn't used in forever when my last sub ran out) - saw emails for a solid two months mentioning they tried to charge.

Im a big time FF person since the early 90s, i didnt care for the ff7 remake due to the style change, which absolutely kills me because FF6 and FF7 both came out in that weird time span of my life where things felt oddly important and stuck with me.

FF Resonance feels like the opposite of that, something I wasn't excited for / expecting much, but will be a day one buy now.

I'm sure it's just coincidental timing...

That feels like a universal programming glitch.

Eh, just someone jabbing a needle into me that's gonna be there for like a solid hour, mostly used by people who desperately need the cash and most of their precautions are only via self reporting, I cannot fathom what could go wrong if they were a bit lax in their safeguards.

Certainly not like they have all the worst case scenarios at hand in one place, like the Monty-Burns three-stooges syndrome.

People can donate via Canadian Blood Services for free, but the downside is, not enough people donate, so we end up paying the US for blood products instead.

If people aren't going to do it for free, i'd rather the money at least goto a neighbor vs a neighboring country.

Yeah, no kidding.

(No I didn't rush to google this immediately after reading your comment, you did.)

Id be so tempted to trade my server with 4x4090's and 512gb ram for something like this that I could actually use at my desk.

It worked randomly on a fresh format of windows back then - but honestly I haven't used windows in almost two years now

If it was a late night parade after a local sports team won something id be much more worried regardless of city lol

Not every event is for every person,

There's obviously some situations that people who grew up with certain beliefs are going to feel emotions about,

But if parades in general don't offend you, there shouldn't be anything here that does,

If you're just offended by floats in general though, i get it ... ....

There's worse things that they could end up with in their pockets walking half the streets around here anyways 😅

Anyone willing to put the work in to shave their ass should be free to show it.

I cannot imagine the situation id be in trying to do it

It feels more and more like the internet of the early 2000's in that sense, when I couldn't play a game for more than 5 minutes without someone telling me the things they would do to my mother

irl I think particular people are showing true colours more than before, but I'm not around the public enough in general to guage treatment en masse

I get the tv character part.

Why?

I've never understood why the same people who will label the average person going for maid as a drain on the system, but at the same time won't allow that person to keep their dignity, and lower the "undue burden" they put on others.

I've yet to hear any reasonable, thought put reason why another adult (of sound mind) should have their choices made by someone else - the wild part is also, so many of the people who argue against are the same people who argue for "Freedom" or "Personal Liberty" - but get loud about making sure other people can't actually have freedom or any personal liberties.

It's the internet so I don't actually expect any reasonable responses as to why some people should be subjected to living through horrible conditions because of other peoples opinions or beliefs, but I'd still like to be able to understand that side with logic.

I find once you start gaming you tend to meet other people/make friends that when they upgrade you can usually end up with their old stuff as replacement parts fairly cheap or free as well :)

The home server stuff just depends on your personal interests for sure but can be real handy if you want cloud services but don't want to pay subscriptions for them

Speculation - we're on the internet

How does trash outside of a low end pizza place remind you of racism?

(Im unaware of mcdonalds situation/anything else, but why would seeing lazy workers who threw trash where it shouldn't go instantly make you think racism?)
