AJ won’t give up. Ever. This - not just the site but the narrative he developed around the trial and the attention he gets for it - is his livelihood, he needs to keep it up no matter how ridiculous, petty and pointless.

I hear it’s only a small, partial win anyhow.

No matter for AJ: one more time he’s getting media attention.

He cannot retain information for longer so whatever the last person he talked with said that’s what he’ll repeat.

Thank you themattylee, that was perfect.

Add to that the very palpable effect “Not Socialism” has on the country right now…

Something to be proud of I’m sure!

I meant it from the POV of 2021, so “wins again in 24”

Really depends on how old Sadie is. 6? Hilarious! 12? Ouch. I’m going to cry later.

Usually (ime) it’s just another cumfy chair like the one she’s sitting on. Never had a chaise longue, nor have I ever seen one. Maybe 100 years ago, but nowadays it’s a cartoon thing.

Elon Musk was a trendsetter!

In 2024, everything was already laid out for everybody to see clear as day - Trump1.0, MAGA’s behavior since 2021, Project 2025…

BTW, in 2016, both Mary Trump and Tony Schwartz predicted Jan 6 21: “If he loses the next election, he won’t go willingly.”

Ever since Jan 6 21 it’s been crystal clear where this goes if he wins again.

You nailed it, except “huge generalization” is actually being generous. The article is simply wrong. The author is speaking esoteric technobabble:

The upgrade death spiral (…) happens because upgrading one component of your computer can unbalance the system.

It’s the sort of argument a husband might give his not tech savvy wife when she asks why he repeatedly needs to spend so much $$$ on something only he uses.

I think FOMO says it pretty well, or simply consumerism.

Now that hardware is getting more expensive again, this is really sending the wrong message.

And OP keeps doubling & tripling down despite basically every comment disagreeing. I think they wrote that article.

Aye.

And OP is doubling down.

Not sure what “future proof” means, but my PC still has its original case from Windows Vista times, has seen 2 mobo replacements, 1 PSU replacement, and I don’t even know how many hard drive / SSD additions / swaps. RAM extensions too. Used to have a GPU but after the 2nd mobo/CPU replacement I dropped it.

Different screens, keyboards, and mice.

None of this would have easily been possible on a laptop.

In a world where hardware is getting more expensive again you are really sending the wrong message here.

Not to speak of environmental impact & consumerism.

CPUs are the same with real performance needed a new chipset and motherboard. At that point you are replacing the whole system.

I find the quoted statement untrue. You still have all peripherals, including the screen, the PSU, and the case.

You can replace components as and when it becomes necessary.

You can add up hard drives, instead of replacing a smaller one with a larger one.

Desktop mobos are usually more upgradeable with RAM than laptops.

There’s probably more arguments that speak against the gist of this article.

FAFO

This. I hope whichever neighborhood group he posted this to told him in no uncertain terms.

Let me add one more: he’s done this several times already which is the reason the kids added bricks in the first place.

Iain M Banks’ GSVs are missing. Pretty sure they’d outsize most of what we’re seeing here. Not that that is what makes him a great scifi author.
