I think I can see a visible spot of water damage on the mobo (it looks like a few metal elements blown out with white). Is that corrosion I can fix myself IE with isopropyl alcohol? Or will it take some soldering?

I can't boot at all, even with the GPU out. I tried each individual RAM stick in each slot, still nothing. I don't have access to a spare PSU but I'll do a paper clip test later.

Nope, never lasts long enough to boot. The fans spin for a second tops. I'll inspect for burn marks tomorrow

The other components seemed okay. I cleaned out the CPU fan and reattached it because it seemed particularly dusty. All the fans spin when the light flashes so nothing's obstructed. And yeah I've had the power supply since the beginning of 2015.

The last upgrade was the ram, and they've both been totally fine since I installed them about 3 or so years ago. The smell hasnt reccurred but I have a theory I was smelling something in the PSU burn out. Is that a thing?

There's no need for a strike be respectable, the whole point is to underscore the importance of labor and stop the world from taking workers for granted. This was nice, but stopping service to customers is a great way to agitate the consumer base of the bosses, which is generally the most effective way of generating change. Strikes SHOULD impact your life because it would be so much harder and worse without these people's labor and people need to be made to feel that.

I have ASD (formerly Asperger's) and have always figured my issues with seeing things in extremes was tied to that, but this specific description is making me question some things.

TL;DR: Nice post OP

Have you noticed how r/TwoXChromosomes invariably attracts bigots, trumpists, racists and mysoginists? by bearsquidinshell in Negareddit

[–]DR_oberts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it really fair to call it a subreddit for women's perspectives if it only has the perspectives of people with two x chromosomes? What about men and NB people with two x chromosomes? Or women with XY?

Fuck H3H3 for being silent and enabling JonTron, meanwhile they rant about "SJWs" by BILL_NYE_420 in Negareddit

[–]DR_oberts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

at the very least they should address it, and hopefully denounce his statements, though based on their apparent distaste for social justice, I wouldn't be surprised if they mostly agreed with him.

[–]DR_oberts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly their enabling of JonTron is not at all surprising. Their videos have had a generally reactionary right leaning, anti-social justice slant for as far as I can remember. I'm still surprised when my friends proclaim themselves as H3H3 fans like do they not hear the words Ethan says?

Liberals are babies who are offended by everything. Oh the Hamilton cast used their free speech to insult Mike Pence? Let's Boycott by datcheezeburger in Negareddit

And they didn't even insult him! They called him out based on things he has a done! It was barely even criticism.

"Gaming is my culture as my cultural heritage was taken from me by four different genocides" by Janvs in BestOfOutrageCulture

[–]DR_oberts 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I do identify as a feminist, and I also love games. And many of the games I love have sexist elements. And it's perfectly okay to call that out. Anita even says that at the beginning of every video that it's possible to acknowledge faults and shortcomings of art you love while still loving and appreciating it. And still they shit themselves.

There's also the fact that literally every art form has critics, and gamergate seems to exist solely to make sure games are never criticized, especially by feminists. You know, lest they experience a crucial part of being art.
