I would wager that there's more people on the left disillusioned with the Democrats over their Israel policy than there are Republicans who would be swayed by Liz Cheney.

Don't worry, we have plenty of venomous spiders as well!

It's funny hearing people say this here in Canada. Like we have polar bears and moose and shit. A moose will fuck you up a lot worse than a big spider or whatever. I'm much more fearful of our wildlife.

My dad faked having brain cancer when I was 9 to cover up a drug problem. He sent me to live with my mom to party while I believed he was on the brink of death.

We have a strained relationship now.

Nah, that won't work. As soon as corporations get involved they'll carve out exemptions for themselves.

As much as I’m tempted, I’m not interested in getting to a debate with you about this. For someone mad about me ‘jumping to conclusions’ you sure made a whole lot of assumptions about me that aren’t really true.

Whether my rant was directed at you, or one of the handful of other Jill Stein nutjobs on here doesn’t really matter, I’ve said my piece.

Have a great day.

Yes that was hyperbolic, I see these posts on my feed on a daily basis, and it's filled with dozens of rehashed comments bickering about the validity of third parties. It's getting far more attention here than it deserves when there are tons of actual, real political issues in the world.

I'll be the first to say that I hate both major parties, but I have the political literacy to understand that the way to fix it is not by voting for someone with questionable ties to Russia that seems to pop up out of nowhere every four years.

If you guys actually cared to solve the issues you'd be campaigning to first and foremost get electoral reform to make third parties even remotely viable instead of trying to work within this extremely broken, barely democratic system. You'd also be doing work at a local level where real change can be made to movement rather than just throwing a candidate out for president every election. You won't do that though because you're all a bunch of weird idealists with fantastical views of how politics work. I'm interested in following news thats grounded in reality

Yeah, LG always had awesome concept phones, a bit of a shame they’re not doing phones anymore.

I know rollables are coming, just a question of how long until they end up in a consumer device.

I hate how they’ve spammed their way into turning this community into 90% conversations about irrelevant 3rd parties.

Every post is either by them or something meant to dunk on them.

With how my Galaxy Flip has held up, this thing will be unusable in 6 months. There's no way it will lay flat for long with regular use.

I'm waiting for rollable screens to become a thing.

This is such a ridiculous proposition. The people who want treatment can’t get it. Are we going to take the overworked doctors away from patients in order to forcibly treat drug addicts?

UPDATE: I fixed it!! It was the PSU.

So I just built my first PC in like 20 years. Everything was going fine, I was installing Windows and got to the network setup step and my wifi was having trouble staying connected. I figured it was because I hadn't set up drivers yet, so I thought whatever, no problem, I'll just move it by my router and plug in an ethernet cable.

So I powered off and moved it, and...dead. Nothing is happening when I hit the power button. No fans, no lights, nothing. I've made sure no cables got jiggled loose or anything. Maybe I shorted something somewhere on the motherboard? I can't see anything without fully disassembling and having to rebuild it. I really don't want to do that, but I guess I'll have to unless I'm missing something obvious. I'll test the PSU tomorrow but I doubt it's that, these are all brand new parts.

Any ideas?

Specs:

AMD 7800X3D

ASRock B650E PG Riptide WiFi

Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 7800 XT

2 x 16GB Crucial DDR5 RAM

Seasonic GX-850 PSU
