When you look into Hitler with a kind of Devil's Advocate-ish no pre-bias approach, certainly some good ideas. Was for workers, abortion, prostitution, national healthcare, good minimum wages, women's rights,... But there's just some... just a few... a handful, if you will, that were maybe...maaaybe what could be considered psychopathic monstrously batshit insane ideas.

But, hey, plenty of people love the Christian god, and Hitler is somewhere between that guy and a Powerpuff girl, so no surprises for me.

The power of charisma over those apathetic to self-thinking.

Edit: Apparently we have a lot of God-fearing neo-Nazis here! Sorry, it was a joke, I'll just leave. No need to try track me down.

hides under the floorboards They'll never look here!

My pseudo-intellectual what?

I'm talking Darwinism and your retort is personal experiences in your immediate single-generational society, letting us all know what you are and aren't into in a partner.

Literally, the topic is physical sexual attraction. Read OC. Unless you're living life seeing grannies and thinking, "I really want to get to know them in case my pee-pee go boing-boing to their emotional intelligence and financial stability" I don't think you're immune to the same ~~nature~~ pseudo-intelligence as what's being discussed.

There's two types of elder Millennials, as there are all the other generations; those that jerk off to college porn and liars.

I don't think so. Dial it back to us being mammals, and just like any other animal, we have peak sexual periods in our lifespans, based around promotion of survival. It is unusual to be sexually attracted to something that opposes survival instincts. I can only assume, but with fair confidence, that very few creatures, if any, have sexual attraction to something where survival of offspring is compromised or even possible. Obviously age is a huge one.

This is sexual attraction at its core. Instincts that promote genetics and survival. Let's not try to think we're better than all the other animals by suggesting intincts may be a mental problem. Not being attracted may be harsh, but it's normal in nature.

I don't like the sound of a fatal funnel. I guess that's how "Here's Johnny" moments happen.

Quite often, yes. I'm very extroverted, and have an exhaustingly large network of friends. I get invited to things by people I'm not that close with because I'm fun and entertaining.

It can be very exhausting if I'm down in the dumps, but generally it's great. I have a lot of people in life that care for me and I give back to them how I can.

Well I had no symptoms. My partner was super sick and I had them test. Thought I would as well after they were positive, and I was too. I'd been on the mountain snowboarding all day and was all pumped and planning tomorrow, I felt excellent.

It was about a week later, my tinnitus would be incredibly loud at times. Every 30s or so, I'd get this weird palpitation sensation at the back of my skull, coupled with dizziness or pain in the head. Brain started just not working and I'd give up on thoughts. Then the fatigue hit and some days Id sleep up to 14 hrs when I usually sleep 6.5-7.5.

But still, not a single cough, sore throat, nothing. It was all in my skull and I could feel it in there.

Im looking for news that affirms reality.

You...affirm your reality...by looking forr news...that does so?

With the intent and purpose of rational thought, it's supposed to be the other way around.. In by doing this, it is the premise of "fact checking" and the antithesis of misinformation.

That's how reality, by definition, works. A statement is made. We look to confirm it. It is real if confirmed. You don't look for statements to confirm a hypothesis and say, "Well, that's my reality."

What you just said is no different to stating that you look for Google results that back up what you want to hear...

Are you trying to prove my point for me?

Trump's public record words and actions already left no doubt that he's molested children. This writer's credible but unsourced account is just to remind people that trump has molested children, something that most people realize from trump's words, actions, associates attitude.

That's unrelated to anything I've said and I don't know why you thought I'd want to hear it.

When something looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, hangs out with ducks, eats bread at the park, and admits in public and private to being a duck - it's unreasonable to argue that we can't assume it's a duck.

That's an unrelated example of abductive reasoning. Again, I don't know why you picked me to share that with. If it bears any relation to what I've said, it's irony in that by saying it, you're proving my point further.

They said they believe.

Only knowledge has sources; but beliefs sound cool.

I don't know why I used a semicolon there, but it's staying.

I just don't get all these old guys still going it. Who's 75 with literal criminal levels of libido?

Just fucking retire, man. Go play golf. Put the ol' dick away, no one wants it anymore, go enjoy some sunsets.

 

I was thinking about it. I donate to quite a few charities, but they specifically mean something to me. Others I don't really think about, though they're good. I guess we all have a threshold or we'd be broke and for many that could be no donations at all or just a fiver the the street guy.

 

Gaming

  • Mostly a huge array of co-op games, performance doesn't matter much, just good 1440 frame rate with high settings.
  • HOWEVER, sim racing is my exception and I'm wanting to upgrade from a single 27" to something more immersive. Considering I'm on the most minimal, a TV, triple 24s, or VR are all big immersion upgrades, but each with their pros and cons. But all demanding more of the GPU,ideally keeping rates at 120, even 90 maybe... 1080 for triples, but ideally 1440 all-round to make use of FSR better.

Data Science

  • I need my PC to be a workhorse. Many hours of my week are ETL of big datasets and complex models. Lots of calculation time and lots of loading tables/arrays into memory for queries and transforms.
  • Ive recently gone up to 32GB DDR4 3600 (going to go to 64) and an R9 5900X. It's done nothing huge for gaming, but it's increased my data crunching tasks significantly.

What I have right now...

Guts

  • Asus PRIME X570-P ATX AM4 Motherboard
  • AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor
  • MSI MECH 2X Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB Video Card
  • Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory

Storage (This is way behind)

  • Samsung 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
  • Silicon Power UD90 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
  • And some ancient 2TB 7200 HDD that's a dying archive only drive

Primary display

  • Acer Nitro XZ272U Pbmiiphx 27.0" 2560 x 1440 165 Hz Curved Monitor

Cooling

  • Lian Li Lancool II Mesh ATX Mid Tower Case
  • Deepcool LT520 85.85 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

Where I'm stuck...

  • Should I go up to AM5 even though I just got the 5900X?
  • Do I then go DDR5 instead of 64GB DDR4 or am I getting too many year's ahead of myself?
  • The 6700XT is not overclocking friendly, for sim racing I may need to bump up if going for more display.
  • For storage, what's the best way to go for a bunch of games installed, but also not having stuff get in the way of data crunching applications and calculations? Should I reserve a drive purely for data? Can I dedicate anything to it on top of the 64GM RAM coming in?
  • Lastly, the display conundrum for sim racing; VR, TV, triples... 49" UW on top of any above upgrades is just way over budget.

I'm basically just after ideas of what to prioritise next, what can wait a while, and what path I should be starting on for future-proofing without spending the budget on future gear too soon while it's all expensive.

Advice much appreciated.
