This is the exact shit the Republicans down south have pulled for years and it’s pernicious. Once the seeds of doubt have been planted about the fairness of our elections, it opens the door to all kinds of shenanigans from voter discouragement to full-on Jan 6 style coup attempts, or even Russian-style “liberations”.
We need to stamp this out right now before it gets weaponized against us
Congratulations, you win both this thread and my disgust. This is literally every company in software development these days.
Depends on your expectations. If you okay mainly eSports titles at 1080p it would’ve probably been quite sufficient still.
But I agree it’s a stretch as an all-rounder system in 2025. My 3090 is already showing signs of it’s age, a card that’s two generations older would certainly be struggling today.
While that’s largely true, it also oversimplifies the realities of the conflict.
Without American aid the Russians wouldn’t have been able to repel the Germans nearly as effective as they did (if at all), and without D-day splitting the war into two fronts, Russian losses on the way to Berlin would’ve been significantly higher.
That all said, Trump’s statement is obviously horseshit and a complete disservice to the rest of all the allied forces.
And how, pray tell, is a “real” firearm going to help defend against the most technologically advanced army in the world, who can take you out from half a planet away without you ever seeing anyone until you are ginsu-bladed in half (reference: https://www.pcmag.com/news/us-used-drone-carrying-knife-missile-to-kill-al-qaeda-chief)?
We don’t need more firearms in personal hands when it comes to our national defence, we need alliances, a better standing army, and probably some form of nuclear deterrence. Thinking you’ll make any meaningful difference with your personal firearm and a couple of hours on the gun range is the exact same magical thinking 2FA nuts keep using while the US government takes their rights and freedoms away.
Wouldn’t it be an absolute riot of a “leopards ate my face” situation if he ends up croaking because of this?
To clarify: I don’t wish any harm on his grandchildren, but this man’s level of willful ignorance and sheer recklessness makes it hard for me to sympathize with any negative outcome he may suffer personally.
