You know I thought it was low effort cringe when I first heard "demacrips and rebloodpicans" in a body count song, but Im starting to like it more by the day
They are end of life now and have ceased production, but if you can manage to find a 5800X3D , that CPU is the definition of sleeper. I had a 5700X I think it was, and the performance boost was f***ing unreal, I expected meagre gains, I saw 20 to 50% performance increase on many games. if you're into that kind of thing. if you see one for sale, seriously think about grabbing it.
its the whole reason aside from the OS issue, Im not even remotely worried about the next few years, it can compete with the high end stuff of the AM5 generation still. unreal.
they'll give a shit once all other options have been exhausted, and people realize the next step is actual shooting war, with the bombs falling on Warsaw, Helsinki, Berlin, etc. When they realize they're on their last legs before the big one, then they'll take it seriously.
America is a write off, Regulatory captured by the Russian Federation / Russian Mob, Same thing At the very least until 2026 midterms. Europe is still in denial that its time to switch from butter, to guns. Literally
The Canadian system broke due to abuse by some types of immigrants, failure to attract and keep docters and nurses, and the never ending greener pasture to the south that offers doctors a more attractive and better paying lifestyle than Canada
the Canadian system is broken because we have to share a border with America. It wasn't the abject horror until the doctors and nurses quit from the covid days, and we flooded a bunch of bad Immigrants in who had no interest in doing anything but abusing the country for all they could cash out on.
they dont have the resources for that, either.
might have been a deal. some retailers are dumb and think lower number means worse, so discount justified. lol
Realistically the AM4 is still more than enough for now. but its technically end of life. the AM5 isn't worth the jump until theres no other option.
even if Nato tucks its tails between its legs and runs away from a winnable confrontation, Russia isn't taking the whole country, they don't have the manpower to run an occupation on a territory the size of Texas, with one of the most heavily armed and battle hardened populations on earth.
Russia already signed away any hope of an occupation that didn't fight them tooth and nail to the death, when they decided to massacre the villages of Bucha , Irpin, and Konotop. The world saw Russia for what it was then, That event "steeled" the resistance. I'm not trying to use hyperbole or sensationalism here, I'm stating that flat out, the Ukrainian people saw that the Russians will murder every single person who doesn't submit, and they've only continued that savage barbarism ever since. Bombing and Murdering people into submission NEVER works. It only gives them a reason to fight.
they weren't equipped to do an occupation in 2022. they sure as shit are less equipped to do so now. It would be one of the bloodiest insurgencies in history. The Taliban didn't have Leopards, Javelins, and HIMARs rockets they could put into hiding.
the thought process probably revolves around "No, we'll just put the teenagers looking for their first jobs to work. and if that fails. Uh. Elon Robots!"
I'd have an easier time laughing at his sad state if I wasn't already mad that the guy is objectively a traitor and a goon of Vladimir Putin.
Not in construction, but I dont think I've ever seen a friend who ran their own business and did this, ever succeeded in the long run. taking payments under the table I mean. or paying staff for that matter. its a sign that someone is bush league.
Its just gonna be a question of how unsecure Win10 gets , and how fast.
My pc is from 2019, although I've upgraded the hardware several times. But I've basically reached a ceiling of practicality, its no longer practical to upgrade anything. Im on an outdated chipset (AM4) and jumping from a 3080 to a 4080 isn't really going to fix the problem of games just being unoptimized. It makes more sense to build a new PC than it does to just change OS on this.
but right now, it just doesnt make sense to build a new PC either.. I dont lift a finger on anything unless im going to be able to see at minimum 20% performance increase, I just dont see that without emptying my savings account...
Canadian cucks cheering for the idea of "Joining as a state/states" don't realize Canada's future would essentially be that of Puerto Rico for decades, Second class citizens, if we could even call them that, full rights and protections wouldnt apply. and thered also be a complete devastation of the land and infrastructure to boot as one nation tries to forcefully assimilate another.

I would argue that the world has been a very different place in 2024/2025 than it was the last time around, if for no other reason than we are effectivley 2 or 3 years into an already started Third World War.
(people just dont want to admit it yet because there aren't nukes flying or major advesaries directley engaged with each other yet... and thats what they associate WW3 with. but make no mistake, we're there. It's started, for a while now. We're basically in the Spanish Civil War / Japanese Invasion of China stages. )
My point here is not to fearmonger but just to say, the world is multitudes more dangerous and inflamed than it ever was at any point between the first trump administration. its a dangerous, **dangerous **fucking time to have a senile geriatric manchild-troll in the whitehouse.
Megalomania, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Affluenza, and a crippling amount of Protaganist Syndrome / Great Man Theory. *I'm not cracking at Autism, other than to say that this guy also has the other afflictions I mentioned. Most Autistic people are not Fascist loving Megalomaniacs.
If we didn't already have Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, and if I was a Religious man, (I'm very much not), I'd argue this guy might be the antichrist
I dont know what we will do, but I know the answer isn't to just accept it and deal with it, like those foaming at the mouth screaming at Ukraine to just "sign a peace deal" when the terms of that issue is their country permanentley losing its sovereignty. You can't just roll over and take it. The Nukes thing is effectively a nonstarter here, as it is in Ukraine, because Nuclear proliferation is basically treated as an act of war by the UN sec council . In the view of the nuclear armed, No one is allowed to have Nuclear weapons but them, The days of countries starting nuclear programs and not getting bombed for it are long gone.
If such a thing was to happen, and the US Military didn't take care of the problem by coup'ing their obviously rogue administration, attacking its own allies. Then I suppose I'll be a statistic in the insurgency. I have no intention of living as a third class non-citizen in my own home to a foreign power and the traitors who invited them. I dont care if it's Chinese, Russian, or American.
Trump, Orban, LePen, Fico, they're all comlicit in the gang of mafia stooges that are different flavors of the same Mobster Kleptocrat Authoritarian that Putin is the ringmaster of.
