I'm generally not an impulsive kind of guy, but I just marched into #microcenter in #tustin (Cali) and bought an #asus ROG Strix G16 laptop with a GTX 4070 and an i9. While I had to leave it to install updates while I went to work, I can honestly say that the thing I like least about it is the backlit keyboard (I gotta figure out out to brighten the shit out of the keys and turn the rando RGB effects off).

I also bought a #glorious model O v2 mouse.

I think the hardest part of the install is going to be figuring out what my Microsoft Account login PW is. I am using a pin on my Lenovo, I'm assuming that won't translate to the new laptop.

I hope to have Steam and #fallout76 installed by tonight, but I work until 9pm :(

@VeroniqueB99 Sometimes, life presents a particular challenge (at least for me). My base instinct would be to use an appearance, gender, or other insult to respond to #MTG #maga #fafo comments. But I am not going to.

Instead of using those insults, I am going to insult the entire Dukes of Hazard voting district instead.

Here we go: is anybody surprised at her statement considering the imbeciles that voted her into office? Was Cooter not available to run for office?

Fuck off NW Georgia.

@AccordionBruce @teslatakedown.com My wish for #spacex Rockets, #Boring Machines, #tesla Autos, @x Social Network, and any other physical asset #elon looks influences or touches.

2024 Elon lays off/disbands the team in charge of Supercharger stations

2025 Elon accuses NJ of corruption for removing 64 Supercharger stalls

This isn't corruption, this is consequences. Their agreement expired and NJTA chose not to renew it. If only Elon had a team of people working on Superchargers, maybe they could've worked out a new deal.

@molly0xfff I'm good with the Trump-Branded crypto and trading application. The grift will directly target those dumb enough to think it is a good idea, which will increase MAGA dissatisfaction and cause direct pain to those still in the cult.

A point to remember: until someone de-Magats of their own volition, no amount of external coercing or convincing will work. They need to hit rock bottom all on their own, and lose something precious or meaningful before leaving.

#maga isn't alcoholism or drug addiction. Interventions don't work.

@SmudgeTheInsultCat It's not polite to talk with one's mouth full of (blank).

(insert what Orange Caligula has in his mouth here)
