  • I used to be a conservative Christian. I was vehemently opposed to things like gay marriage and abortion.

    Then I actually moved to a larger city and met gay people and, well, that became the crux of my deconstruction. Turns out people are people, no matter where or how they’re born, or what they choose to be or identify as.

    My views on abortion have changed, to the point where I very much do not believe in fetal personhood, though I still think late-term abortions should be shied away from if they can be avoided. Regardless, it makes no sense to remove a woman’s right to choose how her body is used. It’s hers. If she doesn’t want to put her body through childbirth, or doesn’t want to take on the immense burden of raising a child, she shouldn’t have to. But, at the same time, dudes should be aware of what they can inflict upon a woman just because ‘it doesn’t feel as good’ with a condom on. Wrap it before you tap it, boys.

    For 75% of gaming builds water cooling doesn’t really matter. Air cooling is good enough these days that unless you’re overclocking there isn’t really a point. It is, however, much quieter if you do a custom loop, but that can easily add an extra $500 - $1000 to your build cost, especially if you don’t have the proper tools already. Stick with air cooling.





  • The ONLY time that I have EVER spent that kind of money on a meal was to take my wife out for her birthday once to an EXTREMELY high-end restaurant with a chef’s tasting menu kind of thing. It was by far the most extravagant and overly ridiculous meal I’ve ever had and I will NOT be doing it again. The money was for the ‘experience’ and not the food. Gimme some fried chicken over caviar any day.

    Typical ‘eating out’ meals are around $30 - $40. Grocery store trips are between $100 and $300 depending on what we need. Fast food is rarely over $30, and if it is it’s because I got it delivered.

    I tend to be fairly frugal when it comes to grocery shopping. I’ll go to Aldi for most things, or look for ‘store brand’ knockoff products elsewhere. I swapped ground beef for ground turkey years ago and I can get a pound of that for $2 at Aldi.
