  Most of my random DMs are some sort of business marketing pitch or slow burn confidence scammer. I wouldn’t volunteer any real information about yourself until you get to know them better. And even then, especially the crypto scammers, are willing to do the slow burn because they’re going for a larger jackpot of your life savings.

  I tell everyone “I have a policy for never doing business with anyone I never met face to face.”

  I also bought a lifetime VPN via StackSocial, and it ended up limiting the VPN to a browser extension. That VPN was IPinator, and it was a helluva time getting that refund because nowhere in the sale did it state the VPN service was only for web browsing. StackSocial and IPinator both pointed fingers at each other as responsible for the refund. Once I posted out to StackSocial that the “satisfaction guarantee” was also posted on their website, it was hard for them to back out and they eventually refunded me the money.

  I deleted my bookmark to StackSocial and have never bought from them again.

  This is a time where it’s hard to be away from politics. I switched to all tech news after the U.S. election, and the tariffs are strongly influencing the supply and demand, and the convict is skewing crypto ponzi schemes in his personal favor which has a lot of influence on hardware. He has Musk that’s trying to influence hard on AI which also impacts a lot of our hardware.

  Can’t fucking get away from it, really.

  Because gaming is slowly migrating over to PC as gamers see that while there’s a higher cost up front – but a longer lasting library at a cheaper cost to build it. PC tech journalists cover more than just videogaming so they can diversify their coverage when gaming is in a slow release period.

  I don’t fucking get the religious right in my country, all I can say is they’re so fucking gullible by the corporate mainstream media, facts and hit them in the fucking face and they’ll always move the goalposts. They form an opinion and never be swayed by it, despite the strong evidence against it. They picked a guy who cheated on every wife he has, a criminal past, massive security clearance violations, is the most un-christlike in behaviors… And they excuse it all because they don’t like being told they can’t do things that are harmful to ourselves, or they only like receiving socialism but don’t like the responsibility of paying into it. They’re selfish as fuck, and I’m sick of it.
