Rape. Victims of rape. Victims of rape can blame themselves.

Alright now let's say I, Power Ranger Monster, attempt to walk through a dark alley and end up getting gang-raped. Now while the rapists would take the majority of the blame for this, I will still blame myself a little, as after all I did decide to walk through that alley.

I believe all victims of rape and whatnot reserve the right to blame themselves in small part from their circumstances. It is of course considered rude for others to hold them to those standards.

Pickaninny was always one that got me. Sounds like some penny candy.

So, actually, my own opinion: whether you use the slurs or not, I think we can largely agree there's one or two that we each find a little funny.

I prefer laptops over desktops. You can still hook them up to monitors and keyboards but they offer additional flexibility and portability.

I also get the impression a lot of people who scream about how desktops are superior have bad buyer's remorse spending thousands on a computer to browse Reddit and watch YouTube so they have to convince everyone else to do the same.

Laptops that suck have been a thing a hell of a lot longer than laptops that are decent. Some are good, many have little problems here and there, and they're like buying a pig in a poke. Even ones that break a grand can sometimes just flat-out die out of the blue. Mine completely died after I plugged in a USB-C MicroSD card reader. I didn't even know that was possible. At least with a desktop, you can salvage more than just the memory and drives.

But at least laptops aren't like they were a decade ago: actual battery life measured in minutes, tiny trackpads where the sides were a fickle scrollbar, and speakers on par with dollar store earbuds. Unless you paid the big bucks for a Macbook Pro, which would still cook itself alive if you tried to play any 3D game from beyond 2003, or even get way too hot from just playing a YouTube video in any browser but Safari.

My real problem with laptops is durability, but I tend to treat them like shit, too.

It's okay to compare real-world events to pop culture sometimes, as long as it's a valid analogy and you diversify the franchise you're alluding to. That has been one function of stories, myths, and legends for all of human history.

Most of the cringy comparisons to Capeshit or Soy Wars from Twitter/Reddit is due to the fact that it's overly simplistic ("us good them bad"), and that they won't read another book or watch another movie.

Comparisons to pop culture seem to be acceptable as long as the material being compared with is deemed 'cool'. Many people will shit on capeshit and yell CONSOOOOM, but then will later make an analogy to something they like without a shred of self-awareness.

Yeh, its been a long time since laptops were utter crap, unless you buy absolute bottom of the barrel garbage even budget options are more than enough for like 95% of users and pretty well made (there are exceptions obviously).

I guess I've been lucky but I've not had a laptop completely crap out on me and I switched to laptops from desktops for my primary computing around 2007. The worst I had is a Compaq keyboard and trackpad decide to stop working for no reason that I could work out. Even after replacing the keyboard it still refused to work (my guess it was some board level issue). Taking it to a shop would be more costly than it was worth so I just got a cheap wireless keyboard and mouse and got a few more years of use out of it.

I think that seems to be a growing sentiment amongst people.

I haven’t played 2 in years, so I can’t say much about it, but damn 1 (and by extension Black Mesa and its version of Xen) is a great game.

Cyberpunk as a genre has become shit, the cp2077 game was basically the most glaring recent example but as a whole its what happens when you put all your points into the A E S T H E T I C but have no substance to back it up.

Laptops were good, but its all shit now that every single component its either soldered or glued and you can't replace shit. Not even 10 years ago we still had socketed CPUs, and even some with MXM removable GPUs. Now you can't do shit, few models still let you change the RAM and many even have the SSD soldered in. Its been forever since I saw a non-enterprise laptop with a fucking battery you can take out without having to teardown everything first

For as much shit as Jordan Peterson gets, "Clean your room. Wash your penis. Eat a high protein breakfast." is advice everyone should be able to get behind.

Cyberpunk as a whole is kind of redundant when you live in a kludgy corporate-owned dystopia where everyone is constantly online and modifying their bodies.

I not only don't care about grammar mistakes but I think that many of the incorrect words actually sound BETTER than the correct ones. I think most people who flip their shit over grammar are just using it as a cheap excuse to alog somebody else.
