My decision to buy a top end card for my 2019 base build PC in Q4 2025, Quickly spiraled into a panic buy of a full stack of new computer parts.

I calculated it last night. I spent about $4000 CAD in 2019 on my build then, which was high end for the time (tack on another 3000 or so in upgrades through its life, 16>32 RAM then switching it out for 64gb, 2070 > 3080 > 5080, and at least one SSD addition)

I havent even built it yet and I've spent like 6800 CAD on my next PC, I didnt plan on making the switch until Q4 2026 when my ESU Windows 10 expired but the rampocalypse and everything-pocalypse has forced my hand into buying now at bad prices, instead of buying later at worse.

I wouldnt have even lifted a finger if It wasn't for the fact that my machine is so old, its stable but for how long?

    the WWF connection is real. Trump has been a close ally of the McMahon family for decades and he was breifly involved with the show directley a couple of times . The way he runs conferences, talks to people, etc, is very similar to how things get scripted on the WWF/WWE

    The MAGA administration is setting things up so that they can never lose power again, a'la a coup. (Or I guess they call it a reverse coup?) the rubicon may have already been crossed and you may have to shoot your way out of it

    Im not holding any faith that it changes. the whole point of moves that fascists make, is that by the time you realize you have to fight, its already fait accompli, checkmate, already too late.

    thats the crux of the problem.

    we are NOT the same country. we have similar culture and values, similar, but not the same.

    there are some things that Canadians firmly choose the Red door on, where Americans chose the Blue door.

    those fundemental differences is what makes us a seperate country. there are many things we are on the same page of, but there are many things we might as well be cats and dogs on as well.

    the sad thing about Rogan is he was a naive and dumb guy who was upfront and honest about being a dumb and naive guy. it was endearing and genuine for a while.

    now after 10 years of him saying dumb shit, and other dumb people egging him on, he actually thought he was a smart guy for a while.

    Sweeney has Steam living rent free in his head. Whining about Monopoly

    Meanwhile, Epic Games already has something resembling a monopoly with the unreal engine, its buggy and resource hungry as fuck, and just seems to be getting worse. Necessitating an arms race of computer upgrades just to run the newest games on their obtuse engine thats being used for everything now. Epic certainly isnt doing anything about it. Its just a money printer for Tim's legal battles.
