I'm all about personal choice. Please enjoy the nightmare of a bear mauling over just hanging out with a random person (if I even understand the question correctly--what the heck is even going on)

Yeah. Everybody is also wasting electricity on treadmills when they should be chasing deer down by foot to get their exercise lmao

Actively supporting Hamas? Explain.

People who downvoted this are retarded. I'm just explaining the reasons for the lawsuits, which are being carried out by hundreds of professionals who have been working in industry and government for decades. Sorry if the truth is too tough for you to accept.

I want to reply to this, but people who type words in all caps are just too annoying and emotional to bother. It never fails that they just get pissed off and even more entrenched in their opinions lmao

And as always, it's more complicated than the headline. Governments and oil companies are suing over this because EPA has instituted new rules that will require many oil companies to use calculation methods that will vastly over estimate their emissions, even though there is legitimate proof that their -actual- real-world emissions are lower than the emissions factors that have been written into law.

There is a fee associated with these emissions estimations, and it will be in the millions for many companies, while their actual emissions, should they have been allowed to base their estimate on real-world data, could have resulted in no fees at all.

The emissions factors were poorly designed because EPA has tried to push this through in record time in case the next administration aims to shut it down entirely. Had the regs been implemented better, it could have been really great--but our discontinuity of government is not great in every way, and this is just the latest example.

I've had two ASUS gaming laptops, and both of them began having issues within a year, and the second didnt last more than a couple years total.

The first laptop was one of their enormous ROG 17 inch gaming laptops that looked like it had jet engine exhaust. The hard drive died and the power port broke within the first year, and I had to send it in under warranty. The power brick also died, and I ended up having to replace it myself around the 3 year mark.

Thinking it was a fluke, I ended up buying a smaller, more portable ASUS gaming laptop next which had more of a standard form factor. Maybe six or eight months later, that one suffered some issue that required being sent in for service as well. It began experiencing the same issue about four months later, I'd sent it in for repair a second time for the same issue, and they apparently fixed it.

I got to use that laptop for maybe 1.5 years total before it was completely unusable, in spite of two RMAs.

My current gaming laptop is an HP Omen 17 from 2017, and has been completely stable and reliable up to this day. I love to hate on HP because of their dumb printers, but I'm pretty impressed. I'll probably end up buying another one, because I will literally never own another ASUS product ever in my life, and there are only so many manufacturers out there who I'd consider for a laptop purchase.

I'm in the US and I have a professional career. I've had many jobs where I'd travel around the US for short trips, or just have to work in the mountains for weeks on end, followed by trips back home via. plane or by car.

Carting a desktop and monitor around is impractical, and asking for trouble, and certainly wouldn't fit in the carry-on luggage shelf or under an airplane seat. Additionally, gaming laptops generally have way nicer screens for watching Netflix or YouTube or whatever. I have a 17 inch Omen with a 1070 from like six+ years ago and it's spent most of its life just being a way to use Excel, watch my favorite shows, and more recently, finally do some gaming.

Now that I'm more settled at home, I'm probably just going to buy a new gaming laptop because they're so much more flexible than a desktop, and who cares about the most modern, graphically intense games nowadays. There are a few exceptions, but I could stay occupied forever playing games from five years ago, or whatever interesting indie release is coming out tomorrow.

Are you calling me a genocide defender? Explain.

Why are you even suggesting that I am a genocide defendee we when the very example I gave was to help prevent a genocide in Ukraine? Lol.

Ah, it's probably because you don't actually have a winning argument, and you're just grasping at straws to defend your fantasy-hopes-and-dreams world views.

Your context makes no sense. Who is having a rape fantasy?

What are you even talking about? I don't even care about the military--I'm just telling you that if you don't have a weapon, the next guy who does is going to come in and make you regret it.

I didnt make the rules--im just telling you how it is. Stop being a dumbass.

I always ask myself who will buy the products these companies produce if all the workers have been fired. Maybe inflation is just the natural ramp up to McDonald's charging 5,000 dollars for automated chicken nuggets when there are only billionaire left with money lol.

Grow up.

Warfare equipment is required to defend, as well as attack. Let's see who you're calling evil when a would-be attacking nation waltzes in and rapes your family while you're tied up in the corner, and then murders you like the Russians were doing to the Ukrainians.

That woman was doing the hard work that you were unable to, because you're too much of a bitch to accept reality.

Time to go back to books, fellas. This party is done.
