Price point is fine for a “new” laptop.

Unfortunately, most of us obsessed with repairable laptops are also okay with refurbed at like a tenth the price.

Sure, a framework is more repairable than a thinkpad. But the point is to reduce ewaste. I can more easily reduce ewaste by buying this repairable enough laptop from eBay for $200-$400 vs $1200 without ram or ssd


I swap PCs regularly and I hate how long it takes to install windows.

Also windows borked a games drive once and I never forgave it.

Then I learned all the privacy stuff.


Genuine question: why do you want to be a Co-owner and not just start a server?

It seems you’re aware of what goes into it normally. Except technical aspects. Is that all?


Tom Bombadill was an insane add to the story.

“Yeah I thought it would be interesting to have a guy who could just end the story but he loves his girlfriend too much.”



I dunno, after perusing the website, I’m sold!

I’m so sold I’m gonna go get circumcised a second time!

So long as Daniel is paid from Mullvad, Mullvad financially supports the far right by proxy.


So this doesn’t feel like an issue to me because its a digital download.

This means we know an infinite number of these games could be made. There is no scarcity issue at hand. So my digital copy sitting unplayed doesn’t remove from someone else’s ability to play. Therefore I don’t really care that I don’t play those games.

Also, invite your friends over for a lan party


I’m a fan of academic and Pop-academic sources.

Pop Academic is usually the much easier to read version of a proper academic quality book. I’m a fan of Bart D. Erhman and a lot of his books are pop academia, but they reference his academic works.

The process I was taught for this kind of source finding is 1) Search for a broader topic 2) Find a well referenced book on the broader topic 3) Read book reviews of the book to determine if it has the content you want 4) Read the book or skim the book looking for mention of the idea you want to know more about 5) Check the relevant sources of that section.

If there are no sources listed (or they don’t exist because they’re hallucinations), its probably not a good book for information.



A Plato ass move

Context: Plato’s conception of gods was that they couldn’t lie because they were actually necessarily good.and things that were wholly good have no reason to decieve. They don’t even shape shift!

In the Republic, Plato says we should rewrite myths so that this truth was pushed and not the slander of poets. Further we should restrict what poets can write in his ideal republic (though this is more of a metaphor for how to live a good life than a literal outline of his ideal republic, its still kinda shitty of him and I’m not really sure if there’s a better interpenetration).


To consider debasement of currency as bad I must first respect the concept of cash capital.

Therefore, Diogenes is based.


I love my cats, but I’d rather my neighborhood have birds.


IF you got wide feet, Lems and Zero do pretty good. Lems I know goes to 15, but I’m just a 12



If Plato is accurate then I don’t know if he didn’t talk out of his ass.


Damn that’s a pretty good explanation actually

Sorry, you have a scale that can measure your water content?


That, the relationship to mysticism, giving sermons in Greek instead of Latin, translation disagreements with the bible

It was a few things, but I also want to believe it was the bread.

Also I was raised by Catholics but in hindsight the eastern Orthodox seems much more based and I say they were in the right

My papa

Builds and collects model planes

organizes fishing lures based on effectiveness, has extensive notes on how to catch fish

will leave the room if it gets too loud

frustrated easily in social situations

finds Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang theory so relatable

texture issues and will only eat from 4 restaurants only burgers or fried fish

“What the hell is autism? Sounds like being a brat!”


I thought you said it was “frustrating” seeing some with nuance get upvoted and I appreciated the sarcasm on that and the sincerity in this one

I see clearly now great master.

Truth beyond understanding.

Exists only in the armpit of the soul.

Thank you for wisdom



I see.

That’s a lot of words that conjur a coherent enough idea of what you believe but does very little convincing.

So back to the question.

God will give us knowledge but with a forked tonuge. What does this mean?

To me this means god is a deceiver of some sort and thus you’ve spoken a contradiction. Is this the intent?


What’s the implications of

God can give you Knowledge, and it’s usually through a forked tongue.

Also how serious is this post because I would love to have this conversation.


Well the second part of his thought is that you’re not allowed to be happy until you’re perfect.

So you figured out the rest of his destructive philosophy


He did say that no body is a perfect 10/10 and that looksmaxxing will have to be a life long struggle.

So hes already in the right mindset to do that.



I wanna believe that Ivermectine is so consistently reported by these people as helpful because they all have parasites from raw meat diets. So when they get sick with covid the wormer does make them feel better, but not because of the covid.

As a mediocre white guy who dropped out of college

Fuck that guy


I’ve got a virtualized set up to.

Its pretty unbothered being virtualized so long as the disks are passed through. In my set up, I have the SAS board passed through and its using that.

My reasoning is that I wanted a lot of disks space, but I couldn’t get that without just a big case in general, so I use the extra space to store GPUs for AI and encoding stuff


Oh isn’t this the artist that does porn too?


I like it as a general rule.

However

“Take your phone off the hook at least twice a week.”

Is dated and should probably be

“Lock your phone in a box at least twice a week.”


Sorry I can’t finish this meme. I got to the second one and I was two tired.


Awesome stuff! I’m only now starting to read into Buddhism.

What’s your practice like? What do you do to be spiritual?


Bowling For Soup either made it or covered it. Hard to tell with punk tbh


You see how

“Link” is highlighted?

Highlight “discussion”


I have a near complete control of a market segment.

I want to monetize that control further.

I release slot machine mini games into my most popular games.

I have contributed to the gambling epidemic that plagues modern society.

I am not a trust worthy entity.

I am Steam

Does that make sense?
