This is the kind of thing where the worst you can do is be a little cringy. Why not

I’ve started saying therein, thereto, therewith etc, because i feel like it makes it easier to build a sentence and it’s also easier to pronounce than the alternatives.

It’s per week.

500 x 4 = 2000/month

2000 x 12 = 24k

By all means i’d love to split restaurant bills with you ;)

Yeah i don’t have that kind of experience, so me troubleshooting parts would drag on forever. And then they could break months down the line.

In my experience, when buying second hand you trade time and effort for the price; being able to fix things means more time and more effort for even more savings. That’s what this really is.

I guess there’s something to how little i understand computer hardware making me imagine it as more fragile than it is

Oh wow, i wasn’t expecting helpful advice for that specific model. Thanks!

The fingerprint scanner never worked properly, i had to register the same finger 3 times to make it kinda usable. Now a few months later it doesn’t work at all.

I’m thinking of buying my next set of PC parts used, but i’m scared of the reliability. Which is weird because i buy absolutely everything else scond hand

Samsung A03.

After years of buying the cheapest phones possible, i got really tired of it and spent more money to get a better one, hoping to finally be free of all the bullshit.

It’s the worst phone i’ve ever owned.

Cost me 100€ second hand instead of the ususal 50€. I am so disgusted

I have a passing familiarity with the politics of a couple countries, and they all fit this pattern: their constitutions say nothing of a two-party system, they don’t even say anything about parties at all. People just choose to create political parties, and then those parties coalesce into two major parties.

The reason that this happens is because people, from voters to every level of politician, look at the rules of the game and make tactical decisions; their tactical decisions cause a two-party system to emerge.

The USA is a really extreme case of this; in Europe there are more parties, and they even very occasionally come to power. Current french president Macron broke a decades-long streak of two-party governance in his country.

My takeaway from this is that there are things that can be done to improve the voting system, as suggested in these videos; but i don’t even like representative democracy at all, i think there’s better solutions in direct democracy (referendums and such). Representative democracy was designed to put elites in charge, voting was initially reserved for land-owning nobility. Extending voting rights to more people doesn’t change what the system is designed to do.

I don’t know what would happen to your body, but i know these would be the worst meals you’ll ever have

I had San Andreas on PS2 as a kid, only played it on PC a little bit as an adult; but, the fact that you type the cheat codes on a keyboard means they kinda make words, so i forgot the PS2 ones and i remember some PC ones.

You know Call of Duty started out as killing nazis on the Quake engine. I don’t remember really liking them but it’s there

Life hack: let someone steal your car. They get easy loot, you get 1. conveniently rid of your beater and 2. insurance money.

Disclaimer: i’m not the first to think of this and they made it illegal long before your beater was even built

That’s dragon damage

The idea that nature is precious and must be preserved is human-centric.

Trees caused an extinction event when they appeared by absorbing all the carbon dioxyde and radically changing the atmosphere. But we feel bad when we’re the ones doing it

Comments saying “you don’t” are weak shit. The answer is you rotate each letter one by one.

It will look like shit because they will be ever so slightly misaligned, but such is the fate of the brave

“You got that money”

Yyeah but if their definition of “fresh” includes the navy seals copypasta, then by god don’t let them sell milk

there’s a class of “elite” people who can make decisions that negatively affect the literal lives of millions without worry

This has been true for as long as civilization has been a thing; in fact it’s less of a thing now than it ever has been, the elites have never had so little power.

Which is to say they still have entirely too much and i also hope he gets away with it

I want to live in civilization and i enjoy its benefits, so no, i can’t go around saying someone should be acquitted because the crime was based. We’ve collectively agreed to put the law above our feelings, that’s a good thing, i wish it was done more, so i’m doing my part and preparing to send him cigarettes in prison.

I’ve googled it for you: she’s going to be green for 28 to 45 days.
