When the going gets tough (and we all agree things are tough right now) you just need to appeal to fear and tribalism.

Passions are too high right now; say the same thing after Harris wins and maybe people will hear you. It's like how everyone was on board with freedoms lost during the Bush-era (after 9/11). Years later we wonder wtf happened.

The funny thing is, if you don't fit into the culture (or even just disagree with moderation) people tell you to go start your own. Which is like telling you to go sit in a corner by yourself.

The culture is not conducive here; Lemmings have no chill.

You say white supremacy like a bunch of latino men don't vote republican.

Its the downside of being a melting-pot: too many different worldviews. The Australians could get together and ban guns, the Irish could fight for women's rights. Here, if one side of the country tries to enact change the other side will fight tooth and nail to stop it.

Comments like these do less than nothing. We need to actually go outside and organize against the people taking our freedoms away. Protests, signing petitions, civil disobedience, even just donating goes a hell of a lot farther than writing comments on the internet.

The PSU might be easy in practice but all those cords are daunting to the novice. Much easier to swap the RAM or even to take out and put in a new GPU.

I love that everything is USB-C

Well, maybe things are easier now. My 12 year old PC build has a modular PSU with a bunch of different cords.

There's always been terrible things going on, but now the internet allows us to inundate ourselves with news daily.
