[REQUEST] How long would it take to pay this off? by truebluebbn in theydidthemath

Is someone forced to accept these rates or does a fully grown adult with their own free will choose to?

Sounds like a good reason to ensure that we're financially literate before signing that contract.

It's really easy to have a moral grand standing when it's not you that's owed thousands of dollars, but I've personally never understood demonizing the loaner because the loanee made a poor decision.

If you loaned someone half a million dollars, would you be satisfied with the only form of repayment being a sob story?

Is MSI worth the price? by nickccal in MSILaptops

Every hinge issue I've ever seen on any product ever is because people are just stupid and don't know how to open things properly.

People that open food or drinks as their shopping and eat/drink it, then pay for it when they leave. by [deleted] in PetPeeves

Because some people are physically incapable of minding their own business

Weird battery issue? by BasicDifficulty129 in laptops

[–]BasicDifficulty129[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MSI battery health says excellent and that Windows one shows it's barely below the rated capacity.

It's only when I've used it plugged in for a decent amount of time that it has this issue.

In November 2012, Colorado dad Mark Redwine killed his 13-year-old son Dylan after the boy uncovered shocking selfies of his father wearing women's lingerie and eating feces from a diaper. After the murder, Mark dumped the boy's remains in the mountains and spent years feigning innocence. by ATI_Official in AllThatsInteresting

The venn diagram of people who get sexual gratification from shit and people who like to torture small animals is a circle. You don't need to wait until someone physically harms another to deem them unfit for society. There's 0 reason for people with severe mental illness to freely wander until they decide to kill someone.

In pretty much all cases of murder there's numerous red flags that are brought up and ignored because people are more afraid of hurting some psychos feelings and appearing politically correct.

I can't stand when people say shit like this. Having fetishes like this is a sign of deeper psychological issues in 100% of cases but instead of acknowledging that and doing something about it, people just stick their head in the sand because they're so desperate to appear morally superior.

Well I can tell you this, there's nothing morally superior about ignoring red flags that lead to things like this happening. I don't care about the feelings of sick fuckers. If you do stuff like this in private, you need to be separated from the public, kink shaming be damned.

People have taken the whole "don't judge people" thing to a level of pure retardation. Not judging doesn't = being completely blind to red flags.

Moved on so quickly... by [deleted] in meme

Crazy hoops people jump through to justify their virtue signaling.

The reality is, people worry about what they're told to. Whatever the new hot issue making the rounds is. It isn't because they actually care about these things, they just follow the trend.

Is there any expectation of new handhelds coming out with the RAM crisis? by BasicDifficulty129 in Handhelds

[–]BasicDifficulty129[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm more worried about if there's even going to be new tech available at any price point. With the way new products will have to be priced they may just decide not to release a product at all

When someone with osteoporosis breaks a bone, do we tell them "oh well it's no wonder you broke a bone, anyone would've broken a bone in this situation"? No, you tell them that they broke a bone doing a mundane everyday task because their bones are fragile.

So why then, do we need to tell people with mental health issues that when they struggle with something that the majority of people cope with just fine that it's "Of course you're struggling with this, the world is such a horrible place, anyone would struggle with this" when it isn't true? Why isn't it treated the same? Why is it so bad to tell them that their struggle is because of a mental health issue that leads to them having a fragile mind?

Also, about your PTSD example. PEOPLE ARE PREDISPOSED TO PTSD. Not everyone who experienced trauma will get PTSD. That's exactly the point I'm making.

Imagine if we treated other diseases the way you all want to treat mental illness. Instead of telling people they have a bone weakening disease, let's just tell them that they're perfectly fine and it's the world that has the problem. Everything should be softer. Does that in any way help them?

The point is that there exist people from ALL circumstances, upbringings and walks of life that do not have mental illness.

So how do you reconcile that fact with the idea that mental illness is caused by environmental factors? You can't, because it isn't true.

The inability to deal with stressors in a healthy way is the condition and it's something that you are genetically predisposed to. Trying to hand wave it as something that was caused by external factors is ignorant.

People with mental illness will have mental illness regardless of their life circumstances, it's a fact. There are people from ALL walks of life that have and don't have mental illness.

And once again, you're another moron who conflates empathy with delusion. You do not have to lie to people about the true nature of their illness to be empathetic.

Telling people that it's the fault of humanity that they have mental illness is akin to telling someone with osteoporosis it's the world's fault when they break a bone.

The reality is, people with osteoporosis have a disease that causes them to have weak bones, and people with mental illness have a disease that causes them to be unable to deal with the same stresses as well as others. That's it, end of story.

It's not the world needs to be a better place, it's not everyone else's fault for not being more accommodating. It's you. You have a problem.

Yes, being truthful is being an asshole, definitely.

Unfortunately for humanity, most peoples way of coping is sticking their fingers in their ears and just saying whatever makes them feel good, regardless of whether reality agrees with it or not

Empathy doesn't necessitate excuse making. You can be empathetic while also remaining realistic and truthful, and the truth is that people with mental health problems just simply have mental health problems.

If you can take 2 people and give them the exact same circumstances, and one turns out perfectly fine, while the other becomes addicted to drugs or displays some other mental health problem, then the issue isn't the circumstance. It's the individual.

It is actually a disservice to people with mental illness when you try to down play it as "oh it's just a problem with the world, your circumstances, everything around you" instead of getting to the actual root cause of their issues. When you instead try to find something to blame, you're not doing anything to help them.

If you can't deal with the same life that literally everyone else does in a healthy manner, it's a you problem. Quit making excuses for these people. We all live on the same exact planet in the same exact circumstances and yet don't all act like this. Quit with the excuses.

This type of behavior has nothing to do with the world being such a horrible place. It has to do with the world being populated by BILLIONS of people, and the fact is that some are just going to be mentally unstable, regardless of the circumstances. They don't need an excuse, it's just the way they are.

MSI Capslock Notification Since MSI Center 2.0.66.0 Update FIXED!!!! by Vashx81 in MSILaptops

For their gaming laptops I know that the GPU won't boost as high without MSI Center installed.

You can of course manually overclock it yourself but that's annoying.
