“Who are these assholes saying hypocrisy and amoral selfishness are fucking good things?” Pragmatists

What would you do if a human cop demanded you kneel on the street with your hands behind your back? Comply or die. You only have the rights you are willing to fight for.

If you have a problem, and you call the police…

you now have 2 problems.

I like to tell myself “I’ll keep one generation back, in case something breaks I’ll have a backup” My reality is I keep a computer past several generations of upgrades. I went from a Pentium 4 to an AMD FX-3850. I’ve run that as my main machine for 8 years. SO my Pent4, my PATA hard drives, my AGP video card, even the power supply is obsolete. I did manage to reuse the case for my daughter’s AM4 build. Once I upgrade to AM5, my memory, processor, cooler, and my old HD6970 will be obsolete.

FX-8350 at 4.6Ghz, RX580, 24 GB of DDR3-1866, 1 TB SSD, and 512 GB HDD running Mint 20.3 Yeah, it’s getting a little “long in the tooth”, but I end up upgrading my kids’ computers instead of mine.
