LIGMA BALLS HAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHA

Well, he doesn’t seem to care anymore.

No, I’m just scared of Ligma.

Humanity hates honesty/truth. 80% of us are theists FFS. Feels over reals. You need only sell them a flimsy dream to win their support. Tell them they’re special. Deny all wrong doing, they’ll look the other way. Even if it reeks of bullshit that’s still preferred over reality for a lot of people.

There are limits to this of course but apparently it takes an extreme amount of personal suffering to wake people who fall for stuff like this. Even then, there are still some amount of old days loyalists amongst the survivors of any given ruined empire.

They’re selectively illiterate when it comes to diplomacy.

Same. Hopefully AMD still bothers making GPU with…is it 1% market share while Intel gave up entirely again? Dire.

So come up with a line ahead of time. It’s all bullshit anyways. Try to find the tune they want the monkey to dance to during the interview.

How hard I slam my left mouse button on a vote should be graphically represented.

I match the average stated in the article. 5 years for a new build (CPU socket change is how I define that) since 2002. 2-3 years for GPU. Not counting 90’s family computers since that wasn’t my own money. Or laptops/mini PC.

Today I’ve reached my usual upgrade period but I didn’t this time. 5-6 year gap since my last builds last done in 2020 and 2021. The GPU remains the most frequent upgrade I still do. The rest dropped off…sort of. I bought a NAS that changed how I deal with storage. Gets complicated. Anyways, I don’t think I would’ve done a new desktop build for another 3 years at least even if things hadn’t gone to shit. Now with corpo AI bubble and daily global fascist tantrums jacking up prices? Hard to say. 8-10 years looks realistic?

Just comes down to performance and I’m not feeling any pinches yet with the two towers, a Ryzen 5800X in the office and Core i5 12600 in the living room. Office PC only gets living room hand-me-downs from now on. My gaming habits have changed a lot I’m primarily a couch PC gamer now.

Their corrupted midterms seem like as good a kicking off point as anything else but we’ll see I guess.

I only posted regret not timeline…could’ve written that better. It was 2020 (AMD 4700U) and was used until 2026 but spent the last two years in the garage running an OBD-1 diagnosis program for an old truck and playing music over bluetooth. It just stayed on outdated kernel until it got replaced. Steam Deck replaced its original purpose. A mini PC replaced it in the garage this year.

Nah they don’t think that far ahead. Actually this is also giving too much credit. There’s no thought beyond “I want…”

Depends, did we find them first or did they find us first? I project our colonial past as a fear of what more advanced aliens would do. Because that’s what we would do to any alien natives. Very unlikely we are technologically tied in progress.

If they find us first, then mass panic at least at first.

I’ll just leave like damn i ain’t doing all that like OP but sans bonus panel. Already have really but that was more about jacked up prices and my city scamming people with a badly considered paper bag bylaw where the costs are passed down to the consumer on purpose as a covid half measure made permanent.

This is missing the next panel where they decide to have a baby.

I saw nothing and suddenly feel sick I’m going home early.

They waste hours scrolling too but instead it’s billionaire tuned brainrot machines and a handful of predatory games but also Wordle. Holy shit do they love Wordle.

I guess licking boot is euphoric for submissive authoritarians?

USA nukes good Iran having them bad. That’s the global narrative driven by the country threatening to nuke Iran.
