I still remember him saying “I could shoot one of you right now and you’d still vote for me.”

To quote a certain Ed Zitron:

You’ve lived a long life, but a settlement needs your help! Here, I’ll mark it on your map.

Swapping Twiddle-Dum with Twiddle-Dumber

With Superman’s strength, I’d be surprised to even see any dust after the cross is ripped apart by air resistance.

Many Lemmings here are talking about how you can save money by buying the parts individually. That’s definitely correct, but I also want to mention that the specs that you chose are nearly the latest and greatest that you can get today. Depending on the games that your son plays/wishes to play, this might be an overkill build. Will you also be getting a high refresh rate and/or 4K monitor to even be able to use that RX 7900XTX at its full potential? Most PC gamers don’t have anywhere near the power of this build, and can still enjoy playing games on it just as much. If, however, you just want the best thing that money can buy AND something with potential for an upgrade in the future, I don’t have anything to say against this build.

P.S. If you bought the parts separately, your son can assemble them himself. I know from personal experience that it’s very fun to see your work come to life.

This has got to be the worst (best) one yet.

To paraphrase OP’s body text, if I did a shitty job I wouldn’t be receiving $1.9M checks in the mail.

Golden parachute successfully deployed.

A fine fellow I met at an open day at a university asked me for my LINKEDIN. I told him that I didn’t use it, and then he asked me for my Instagram. Somehow, my Dad was almost as astounded as him that I had neither. You can probably guess which social media I only really use nowadays.

I’d rather say that it’s a matter of exponentially increasing funding and computing power.

The dickhead you’re looking for is now called Satya Nadella.

Three piles of crap congregating in a toilet bowl. What else is there to say?

I considered it, but I don’t think that future me would care much to go out of their way to inform an internet stranger that their prediction from a year ago was correct.

Objectively the most rational reason to be there. It’s named X, after all.

It’s hard to feel any emotions while severing such impersonal relationships. I would advise you to do it whenever you feel like it’s the correct thing to do. Go where the users shine, the memes flow and the owners aren’t dipshit billionaires who mine your data, restrict the free internet and pollute your online experiences with conspiratorial nazi bullshit. Be a digital nomad.

This makes me want to invoke the remind me bot, but I don’t think we have one on Lemmy. I wager that we’ll see this exact statememt from fridge-chest when the US gets hit with the next wave of 'rona.

Oh, certainly. Don’t forget the equal parts of hatred!
