or an amd rig

bought a refurbished 5 year old Thinkpad via Amazon for $150. put linux on it, no regrets

get new friends or develop thicker skin,

chrome

give it a few days & that ache will mature into a stabbing sensation

shmegma

cold smoke ftw

arms were evolving to become vestigial

asserting dominance

so like a psyop

sounds like a conspiracy theory

stop following rap/hip-hop artists

X + 4 at minimum but it’s very situationally dependent.

really? I like BoA - the tellers are friendly and I’ve never really had any issues with extra fees. been with them for over 20 years now

it tastes good and it’s convenient - not all places have a wide variety of restaurants

“organic” is largely a marketing term - there’s no real conclusive evidence that organic foods are healthier.

AMD, for the last 17 years. I had an ATI card and it broke so I needed to RMA it but thats when AMD bought them out & the RMA’d card failed as well, within 48 hours - so I RMA’d again and again, same issue. RMA’d again and again, same issue. tossed the card & started using only Nvidia and have never had an issue since. fuck AMD.

cant think of anything I actively boycott, though I do avoid products that have overly enthusiastic marketing campaigns.

Thortona?

restaurant food is basically normal food with a metric fuckton of butter, sugar, and salt added

there’s a few different reasons that I can see

• there were fewer people total, so fewer bands - ie: less trash to sort through / increased popularity

• there’s arguably more things to protest about nowadays but because of that there’s fewer things that both resonate with a lot of people and sound good at the same time

• if everyone is protesting, no one is. there’s too many different slogans being called out, too many different groups to support (ie: buy the album or give them radio time), and many of those groups are at odds with each other.

• technological advancement - radio is seen as a dead medium to many these days, there are far more ways to consume media than to listen to the radio. it may be that protest songs just dont air on the radio for that reason alone - their target demographic doesnt listen to radio.
