Dell Refurbished often sells refurbished business laptops for absurdly cheap with discount codes. The CPU is a bit older (8th/9th gen), but still very serviceable.
Here’s an 8th gen i5/16GB/256GB laptop with a touch screen for $320.

37·2 years agoThat’s not exactly a 1:1 comparison, is it? And I say that as someone who personally wouldn’t give a fuck about those nationalists meeting their end at the hands of the victims of such a war.
Same. I’m spiraling and recent events have only made things worse.
Nic Cage for sure. There’s a reason that when it was announced he’s being added to Dead By Daylight people couldn’t predict whether he was a killer or Survivor.

1·2 years agoAh yes, the “apocrypha”. One would think an ideology supernaturally delivered to anointed individuals by an omnipotent and omniscient deity wouldn’t have so many contradictions and texts left on the cutting room floor.
Your point is well-made, but I worry you’re applying literal interpretation to rhetorical generalizing that require slightly deeper reading. For better or worse, humans like to make sweeping generalizations, and only in the most extreme instances do they legitimately believe they apply to everyone in that given population.
For example: The women tweeting about how “men suck” isn’t thinking of every man that has ever existed; she knows men aren’t a monolith; she has a picture in her mind of a particular type of man, one that has been a source of trauma for her and countless other women. If you know you aren’t that type of man, then you know that her words aren’t directed at you; the same principle, imo, applies to churches and religion.
Yes, there are exceptions to the rule, but on the whole religion is used as a tool of exclusion and oppression much more than it is used to promote compassion and progress. When people make generalizations about churches and religion, they’re envisioning the regressive, bigoted zealot that has been the source of trauma for so many. The church you describe would not fall into that category, so try not to take such comments to heart.
A literal interpretation of a mistranslation.
A mistranslation of some milennia-old texts, published by a bunch of crusty old 17th-century white men is an interesting hill to die on, isn’t it? Imagine what these self-righteous bigots would do to Jesus (a bold and prominent brown socialist) if they met him on the street.
I never pirate games from indies or smaller publishers, but from the likes of EA, Activision, Take Two, etc? Since they’re always going to use, abuse and discard their workforce so they can keep giving the C suite their multi-million dollar annual bonuses, I will pirate their shit without an ounce of remorse.
With music, I never pirate simply because it’s more convenient to stream the music at a reasonable price. If there’s an artist or album I really love, I will buy it and/or some merch to support the artist directly.
