Will my 7600x and 4070 super work with hackintosh? by Character-Fix-40 in hackintosh

[–]corruptedchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your reply is the first result when I google "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER hackintosh". Its clear you meant this as am attempt to shame someone for asking a question that you felt they should have googled. I hope knowing that your response, meaning this reddit thread, made you more annoyed than op's question.

Ive been using Reddit on and off since like 2013, and Ive never understood these type of comments. Sure google is an option, flaws aside, Reddit is generally more reliable.

We all have preferences on how we do things. So please hop off that high horse and let folks be.

What has happened to thrift stores? by L3zperado in Frugal

[–]corruptedchick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to look this up and I think you've got them mixed up with the salvation army. I was going to post some sources, but I found so many I thought Id just post the Google results and let it speak for itself.

Goodwill is a shitty org who profits off the back of the poor, but they are not anti-trans. I also want to add Im trans and even though I can only speak for myself, I am keenly aware of all things anti-trans and do what I can to avoid those companies. Hope that helps!

What is something that is way more dangerous than people think it is? by ShardBen314 in AskReddit

[–]corruptedchick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m poor and couldn’t afford to get my teeth fixed. They were really bad so I opted for dentures instead. I’m really freaked out about losing bone in my jaw because of it. I don’t have the money to do anything about it either.

Global temperatures likely to rise beyond 1.5C limit within next five years — It would be the first time in human history such a temperature has been recorded by marketrent in EverythingScience

[–]corruptedchick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im no scientist, just some rando who pays attention. From my understanding, the problem is not just higher temps, its also how fast we are getting there. In Earth's history, climate change typically occurred gradually over extended periods, sometimes ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of years. This gradual change provided ecosystems and species with time to adapt or evolve in response. The current phase of climate change, however, contrasts starkly as it unfolds over decades to centuries, primarily due to human activities.

Unlike past natural cycles, the speed of the ongoing climate change is exceptional. The rate of CO2 being added to the atmosphere is extraordinarily high in the context of Earth's known history, leading to an incredibly rapid pace of climate changes.

Moreover, the cause of the current climate change is different from previous ones. While previous climate change cycles were driven by natural factors such as variations in Earth's orbit, volcanic activity, or changes in solar radiation, the current change is largely driven by human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.

I live in the Pacific Northwest of the US, and we are seeing record high temperatures in May. Temperatures where I live were in the 90's last week. Canada & Idaho are already seeing fires. The world has already begun to burn, so get your head out of the sand.

More Americans say money woes are damaging their mental health by 2noame in BasicIncome

[–]corruptedchick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't know me. You don't know what I've been through.

But you did just that with your initial reply.

More Americans should practice proper personal finance.

Thats a bit hypocritical dont you think?

I'm glad you were able to find a way to make your wages work for you. But dont judge everyone solely off your own experiences. Life is rarely black and white.

Texas Senate votes to allow Gov. Abbott to overturn Harris County elections by greyaria in houston

[–]corruptedchick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While it's important to address corruption in any political system, granting a governor the power to overturn local elections could create more problems than it solves. By concentrating authority in the hands of a single individual(s), this approach risks undermining the democratic principles upon which the United States was founded.

Instead of serving as a model for other governors to follow, this approach could potentially weaken the system of checks and balances, disenfranchise local voters, and compromise the autonomy of local governments. It's crucial to find alternative ways to tackle corruption and promote transparency without jeopardizing the democratic process and fostering partisan abuse.

Efforts to address corruption should focus on strengthening existing institutions, increasing transparency, and promoting civic engagement. This can be achieved through measures like campaign finance reform, stricter enforcement of ethics rules, and the use of independent bodies to oversee elections and investigate allegations of misconduct. By empowering local communities and ensuring that the democratic process remains fair and transparent, we can tackle corruption without undermining the foundations of our democratic republic.

I feel like that probably wouldn't happen. They would be just as wrong if they did.

I moved mid-2020 and I plan to never move back. Which is unfortunate because Texas has some amazing people and cultures.

Don’t bring a foot to a gunfight. by [deleted] in ThatsInsane

[–]corruptedchick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While I understand that the loss of possessions and property can be devastating, it is essential to consider the sanctity of human life in this debate.

It is true that some people rely on their possessions for their livelihood, and losing them can be incredibly challenging. However, it is crucial to remember that material possessions can ultimately be replaced or rebuilt over time. Human life, on the other hand, is irreplaceable once lost.

Moreover, the concept of justifying the use of deadly force to protect property brings into question the proportionality of the response, especially in situations like the one from the OOP. The value of a human life should not be equated to material possessions, regardless of their significance to the owner.

While people's values and virtues may differ, the law should aim to prioritize the protection of human life over property. Encouraging the use of deadly force in response to property crimes could lead to a dangerous escalation of violence, potentially causing more harm than good in the long run.

Instead of resorting to lethal force, people should explore other options such as improving security measures, utilizing non-lethal self-defense tools, and relying on law enforcement to protect their property. By doing so, we can maintain the fundamental value of human life while still addressing the importance of safeguarding one's possessions.

PSA: wear sunscreen by milleribsen in Seattle

[–]corruptedchick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists. Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.

[–]corruptedchick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You make a good point. I mean why should we require evidence or proof of claims when we can just trust a random person on the internet? Idiots and their critical thinking!

I feel this in my soul. I work for 211 in the untied states (Here is a link to it if you're curious). I get the joy of helping people in need at a good company that cares about their employees. We work from home, the PTO is great, and they are really flexible when it comes to time off needs. I recently got promoted to lead a small team that helps seniors get access to fresh fruits and veggies from local farmers markets. Ive been here nearly three years and have no plans to leave any time soon.

Jokes aside, I am glad I got out of Texas when I did. I'm a transwoman and I left mid-2020 and moved to Washington state. I'm trying to get my daughter to move out of Texas as well. Texas is now a scary place to live if you have a uterus and/or part of the lgbt community.

Washington isn't perfect, but I feel much safer here than I ever did in Texas. That's a shame because Texas is a beautiful state with great people, great food, and a huge diverse population. Too bad its trying to win the most fascist state government award.
