Thanks! It was my first “dream” PC build (I got a 9800 X3D in there too), so this follows a period of great anxiety about making such a huge purchase with all the techtubers saying “do not buy!” even back then. The relief I’m feeling at having made a defensible decision is honestly palpable 😅

Man, I snagged a 7900 XTX for $900 out the door last year and I feel very clever for not waiting to see how the 50 series turned out. I cannot believe there are GPUs on sale for damn near $4k, it’s insanity.

Bruce Lee, Archmage!

No worries! I have reasons for not installing Telegram myself, but I’m curious what your reasons are? What arguments have you made to him so far and what were his responses?

Dissuade = discourage. Is that what you mean?

No pretty to influence it is incorrect. You do not have the power to change it. However, if you leave, you are a data point. If lots of people leave, they are also data points. Data influences decisions at most companies. This statement does not imply the data is read correctly, nor that the decisions made in light of the interpretation of the data are the best ones.

Man, I feel like a woman 🎵🎶🎵

That’s fucked up, dude. A kid got raped. Quit being weird.

Sketch? That’s pretty funny, I could see doing that for an in-joke with someone they were close to.

we just need to show them the truth

I once read this on lemmy and it stuck with me. I think it applies here:

The autistic trait that bites me in the ass most often is the unshakable belief that if I can just show someone the truth, they’ll believe me.

True for me, and worse, I never seem to learn.
