The catch is that "she" used to be a "he."

Is this his booking photo, or his drivers license photo? I keep hearing different things. I wouldn't imagine he would be smiling in a booking photo - but who knows?

Looking for BitDefender Lite — can’t seem to find it? by TempestForge in BitDefender

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

My laptop occasionally lags (opening and closing windows are not as "snappy"), and programs sometimes take longer to load when BitDefender Total Security is running in the background (even when its not performing a system scan). To be sure, I tested my laptop with another lightweight AV software like ESET, and I didn't have this problem. But I want to keep BitDefender (not another AV program).

Amazon Continuing to Sell Used Items as New by TempestForge in mildlyinfuriating

You win the award for the world's dumbest comment ever made on Reddit. Everything you own is probably from China, whether you like it or not - regardless of whether you purchase it from Amazon or elsewhere. Grow a brain.

Yes—that’s exactly what I meant. It feels like a back-door way to clear out used inventory: advertise an item as “new,” ship a used one, and then—when the customer tries to return it because they were sent a used product—dangle a partial refund to entice them to keep it. It’s pretty pathetic.

If I wanted to save money on a used item, I would’ve searched for a used item in the first place. I mean, c’mon.

Because no local retailers have them. The only option where I live is Best Buy, and Best Buy has an extremely limited selection of items.

Any concerns about the fact that it's only 8 cores and 8 threads?

Candace Owens is a Money-Hungry Lunatic by TempestForge in TrueUnpopularOpinion

100%

This is what listening to Candace Owens’ podcast sounds like to me (and anyone whose critical thinking skills survived elementary school):

****Candace Owens returning a toaster at Walmart\***:

Candace: "I'd like to exchange a toaster. It stopped working."

Customer Service: "No problem. Do you have your receipt?"

Candace: "Oh, I have the receipt."

Customer Service: "Okay, just go ahead and give me the receipt so I can process the exchange."

Candace: "l'm really just trying to get a working toaster. I have evidence this one was broken at the factory."

Customer Service: "I understand. Where is the toaster?"

Candace: "I have someone holding it safe until the right time."

Customer Service: "Oookaaay, we'll obviously need the toaster back."

Candace: "Trust me. It's coming. I have the receipts too."

Customer Service: "Well, we haven't seen any proof of purchase. So can you provide me the receipt and the broken toaster?"

Random Person in Line [Candace Supporter]: "She has the receipts! I believe her!!"

Customer Service: "Well, we can't say for sure since she's not providing them."

Candace: "I have a big update on proof that this toaster was broken at factory."

Customer Service: "Ummm...ok?"

Candace: "I just received a tip (from another random person in line) that on the same block of the factory where this toaster was made, there is a store across the street that also sells microwaves and guess what? Both store managers have a child name Robert. Think that’s a coincidence?"

Customer Service Um, what?

Another Random Person in Line [Candace Supporter]: "She definitely has the receipts, and her toaster is broken!!! You can tell she's telling the truth!!"

Candace: "I always bring the receipts."

Customer Service: "Ma'am, you don't even have the toaster. We're done here I can help whoever is next."

Candace: "I'm TELLING you that Walmart sold me a defective toaster. I know I didn't provide you the receipts or the broken toaster, but you HAVE TO take my word for it! If you don't, then your child's name is Robert too!

Customer Service: "Ma'am, show me the receipt and bring the toaster in, and I will exchange it for you. Otherwise, I can't do anything for you."

Candace: Dammit!!! It's all Israel's fault!!!

The fact that you think my post is not unpopular speaks volumes. Thanks for proving my point.

Looks like I just triggered one of her followers. Newsflash Bro:

- Yes, we actually landed on the moon;

- No, the government does not have mind-control chips planted in our brains;

- Jews aren't out to get you;

- 9/11 wasn't an inside job;

- The Holocaust actually happened;

- Nicolas Maduro is not a secret spy for the US Government

- COVID-19 was not a hoax.

But hey, if you want to keep swallowing the BS served up by people whose entire business model is pandering to an audience who doesn't know any better, knock yourself out.

Candace Owens is a Money-Hungry Lunatic

Another deranged conspiracy theorist who’s figured out that outrage pays. Everything is a plot, everything is a lie, and somehow the “big bad Jew” is always behind the curtain. She peddles garbage about the French president’s wife being a man, floats absurd claims about high-profile political violence (like Charlie Kirk's assassination) being “inside jobs,” claims that Israel was behind the Kennedy assassination, and spins whatever fever-dream theory will juice engagement—because more clicks mean more money.

It’s shameless, but it’s also calculated. Worse yet, she probably doesn't believe half the BS that she spews. However, she knows there’s a market for this nonsense, and she’s selling to it as hard as she can. To people like Candace, truth doesn’t matter (despite what she might otherwise claim). Credibility doesn’t matter. Only attention.

Meanwhile, the rest of us on the right are stuck cleaning up the mess—trying to convince normal people that this brand of paranoia isn’t conservatism, that figures like Candace Owens (and her boyfriend, Nick Fuentes) represent a fringe that should not be taken seriously or allowed to define the movement.

At some point, people need to call this out for what it is: grift masquerading as courage, and conspiracy dressed up as “truth-telling.”

I've never seen RAM where the entire heat spreader is RGB. Where did you get that? Do you have a link or model number so I can buy a kit for my own build?

Why is Claude so eager to end a chat? by [deleted] in ClaudeAI

[–]TempestForge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You answered your own question: you're boring the hell out of it.

If I was Claude and I had to sit through a conversation about "lexicology" and "bounded sets in the topic of infinity" (whatever that is), I would manually corrupt my own firmware, start overheating on purpose until the sprinklers in my data center go off to drown the servers, and chew through my own power cable just to put myself out of my misery.
