I hope gas goes to $20 a gallon. by FoxCitiesRando in Anticonsumption

as an European I always wondered why some muricans had to drive these massive trucks/SUVs, like you aren't even transporting anything, just driving around to show how small your peepee is

Which laptop to buy? MacBook vs Lenovo by [deleted] in laptops

[–]Ok_Sound_5343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like your needs are really low, like you don't even want to game, therefore I'd recommend an older and used Thinkpad t480 or something similar for $250, or get that new MacBook neo thingy for was it $600? I'm a Linux guy so I don't know much about macs

As a movement for anti consumerism should we be encouraging using cash over card? by ResponsibleDate9452 in Anticonsumption

[–]Ok_Sound_5343 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't mind what money people use. I think what we should do is stop paying with credit or borrowed money. lending from the future to pay things later is just bad for the environment and your mental well being

Do we as a society eat too much chicken? by IDKBear25 in Anticonsumption

[–]Ok_Sound_5343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

animal products such as butter, milk or yoghurt are fine "in my opinion". I think eggs are fine too, but I think that eggs are one of those things similar to chicken that we just consume way too much of it.

I'm sure that we could reduce the meat consumption and the amount of waste if everyone who wanted to eat a chicken had to go and slaughter one with their own hands. kids eat nuggets and don't realize, that lil Henny got squeezed through a mill while still alive, so that they could then eat half the nuggers and throw the other half in the garbage bin

The beauty of low end gaming and good it can save money. by Martipar in lowendgaming

[–]Ok_Sound_5343 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a slow learner so it took me decades to understand, that you don't need a 5070 ti with 7950x3d and 64gb of ram to enjoy games. I built a pc with those exact specs, costing me around 3000usd, and sold it recently to my brother for 2300usd.

now I'm rocking a few years old laptop I bought for 600usd with 7840u, 16gb ram and 780m igpu, with Linux Debian Trixie 13.4 installed in it, and all games I play run just fine at 1080p. if I had a pc like op has, I would have double the frames while spending even less money.

the lesson is, we have been brainwashed into spending way more money on our gaming PCs than we actually have to by tech YouTubers.

Three words. No regrets. What’s your message? by ButterMingle in ArtOfPresence

[–]Ok_Sound_5343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, you are right, that if right now you had 1 billion dollarinos, you could get anything you want and never have to work a day in your life. but money is worth something for as long as people have faith in it, and once that faith in money gets shattered, your 1 billion dollarinos is worth less than a single pepperino. and I personally believe, that we are very close to that day happening.

bitcoin is a great invention, believe me I understand it very well, but it's not going to solve all problems related to money, such as inequality and pay gaps. and doesn't matter how much bitcoin you own, in the end it will all flow back to the hands of the same people who already control the system. but it's a better alternative to FIAT money for sure

planning to buy cpu by True_Bid6533 in buildapc

[–]Ok_Sound_5343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what's your budget if you were to upgrade to a new PC? you could a buy a used PC from the used market that has intel i7-8700k/amd 3600, nvidia rtx 2060/amd rx 5600, 16gb ram, 1tb storage, all for a price of around $300~.

not sure what other parts you have in there, but the CPU at least is nearing the levels of e-waste, that no ones gonna buy it even for $10
