  • There was at least one care bear on Lemmy saying ‘think of his family’, etc.

    Nah, I will think about the families of the tens of thousands of private insurance victims instead.

    I don’t think empathy is a zero-sum game.

    Fuck the CEO and his company’s practices. Sic semper leeches-who-profit-from-making-healthcare-worse.

    But I still feel for his kids who lost their dad, and his parents who lost their son. Just like I feel bad for the families who lost people because they were denied healthcare.

    Callousness toward the pain of other people isn’t a trait I want to nurture in myself, personally.

    Gotta move with the times, man. Emojis are a great way to add tone to text-based conversation for those who didn’t grow up in IRC chatrooms, learning to apply tone to the text itself.

    Excessive use of emojis can be annoying, but in concept I think they’re fine.

    Troy: “Lemme ask you something. People been clowning me about this jacket since I got here. But, if I take it off to make them happy, that just makes me weak, right?”

    Jeff: “Listen, it doesn’t matter. You lose the jacket to please them, you keep it to piss them off. Either way, it’s for them. That’s what’s weak.”

    Troy: “Whoa. You just wrinkled my brain, man.”


  • But the only way to really compare the two is in a holistic manner. Without including the costs of using the console, through its life, it just isn’t a fair comparison.

    I totally agree. Part of the reason I’ve not made the leap yet is that gaming has become less and less important of a part of my life, and that initial cost has been enough to dissuade me generally speaking. Also if I’m being honest I really like the “plop down on the couch and use a controller” console experience. But I’m realizing more and more that I just need to bite the bullet and I’ll appreciate it in the long run.


  • Thanks! I’m aware of all of that. I don’t need to be convinced that a PC is worth it, I’m just out of my comfort zone.

    I was asking because the title was “I could make a great PC for that” and, like I said, I’m planning on building a PC. My usual instinct of “just get the more powerful one” will quickly lead me to financial ruin in the PC world. 😅
