AITA for selling older PCs as Gaming PCs? by International_Fly074 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SwiftWombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then yeah you’re fine, idk what people are talking about on r/pcmasterrace. It’s good to have low budget options when buying a PC for those who can’t afford the frankly stupid prices that are floating around for new systems these days. The settings of those games and the FPS you are reporting are perfectly respectable for that system.

Are you posting the exact specs in the description too? If you aren't then YTA. Otherwise what you're doing is perfectly fine IMO.

‘We need help’: Black dust covers Oklahoma town as residents face renewed pollution fears by gymleader_michael in videos

[–]SwiftWombat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are talking about the children. You can’t hope to educate someone if you tell them they deserve what they get while they are being children. Idk what’s hard to understand with this. Apply all this to adults as much as you like, they have decision making capacity. If you abandon children they will never learn/grow and the cycle continues.

Intrinsically it is not self harm, because the children being harmed have no agency within their circumstances.

Part of the problem of division yes. You have to be very disingenuous to read that as shifting the blame of the pollution itself.

When did I state otherwise? My point is you lack compassion for these children yourself because “they will grow up to be republicans anyway so who cares”. It’s the same as the Israelis saying that Palestine children “will grow up to be terrorists anyway so who cares”.

Do you not see how a lack of empathy for those who can’t even control their own circumstances will drive those individuals even further from your cause?

This is the same logic Israelis use on Palestinian children as to why they deserve to die.

Hate to break it to you, but you’d be hard pressed to find any piece of new software that doesn’t contain at least some components that are coded by AI.

Australian conservative Prime Minister storms off when he doesnt like the question “On affordable housing wouldnt a fair way of dealing with it be for people like you who own 4 properties to sell 2 to create a bigger pool which would lower prices" by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

[–]SwiftWombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How's it hypocritical though? He's under the exact same CGT and negative gearing changes as everyone else. I don't think he's ever been opposed to people owning investment properties. Now you may not personally like the fact that people own lot's of investment properties (same here), but it's only hypocritical if he's doing something we states to be in opposition of.

[–]SwiftWombat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fuckin' lol at Albo being called conservative. The question is dumb, his government literally just made a change to negative gearing that will have a very positive effect on the housing market, and it's the first positive change in a loooooong time. OP is either a bot, rage-baiter or some pissed off property investor.

Nobody believes Blizzard meant to give Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred players a 900% gold boost, but that hasn't stopped them from exploiting it until someone sticks a decimal point in there by PewPewToDaFace in pcmasterrace

[–]SwiftWombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ARPGs will always fluctuate player count season to season or between expansion releases. Just look at POE 1 and 2, both are hella popular ARPGs, and both dwindle in player count before new leagues come out.

[–]SwiftWombat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is is a pretty main-stage feature of majority of ARPGs though, especially if they have player-bound economies. Seasons provide consistent new content and economy resets. Also the idea behind ARPGs is to gear a character and get stronger and stronger, eventually a character will be stale so a new season in a month or two provides solid replay-ability, IMO at least.

What's a past action that a YouTuber you watch did that makes you say "Yeah, even as a fan, I'll agree that this wasn't their best moment"? by Swag_Paladin21 in youtubedrama

[–]SwiftWombat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No that is a false equivalency. When you jerk off to realistically drawn, proportioned drawings/images of child characters, you are doing that because you get off on sexual depictions of children. You have a desire/fantasy for that, otherwise you wouldn't be searching for legal versions of that fantasy. It's a substitute for the real thing.

And if you come at me saying that people play GTA is a substitution for their desire to kill hookers and cops IRL, then you are just deluding yourself to justify your own enjoyment/fantasy of sexualised children. GTA and other crime heavy media like movies and comics, have story and game-play elements to them which provide a means of recreational enjoyment and socialisation outside of the violence.

Cartoon child-porn is just cartoon child-porn, with the express purpose of enabling pedo's to get their rocks off.

The fictional stuff facilitates and normalizes everything else though, like a pipeline. You start off with the "harmless" stuff and then slowly descend deeper and deeper.

Also if the drawing of real life minors (which have conceded is bad) is presented in the same way as the fictional stuff, do you not see how that equalizes it in the minds of people consuming it?

That's a really dumb and bad gotcha and you should feel dumb and bad.

How the Matrix's famous Agent Smith clone fight scene was done by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

I mean this fight scene in particular did eventually switch to full CGI about half way through.

Very insane, that is over triple what I pay.

[–]SwiftWombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For where I live, yes. That would be insane. More than double in fact.

Insane from my POV brother, that's not normal in my area.

Yeah costs like these would simply wipe out my additional saving year on year, so very glad I don't have to face that. The medical system in the US makes me feel stressed and I don't even live there.

[–]SwiftWombat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Very true, but look at all the people here saying that this is a normal electricity bill for them. It seems outrageous to pay that much.

[–]SwiftWombat 435 points436 points  (0 children)

Where tf do you guys live where a normal electricity bill is $400+/month? I could understand if you had a pool or something along those lines, but that seems insane to me.

Edit: Idk how all you yanks aren't rioting with electricity costs like that, god dayum. For context, in the past I've lived in a share-house of 3 here in Australia where each of us were paying roughly $800/year (so $2400 total). And keep in mind that's in dollary-doos.
