I have a 3080ti and when I eventually upgrade to the 50 series in a couple years that’s exactly what I’m gonna do with the old card.
I appreciate the long response, and I understand where you are coming from on a lot of your points:
We don’t want US and NATO hegemony to continue, it’s bad for millions of people in the global south. The postwar US military industrial complex is not a force for good and the closest it ever came to that was when it aligned with communists to end the fascist threat of the Nazis and Imperial Japanese. Bombing North Korea, bombing Cambodia and Vietnam, invading Iraq, occupying the Middle East forever, none of these were good things that any actual moral person could cotton to and say “well at least they were weakening a geopolitical enemy”
So if I’m understanding this correctly, you’re essentially saying NATO and the US should keep to themselves, and the US should have stayed out of Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, and Afghanistan; I agree with this. However, The Ukraine war is a different situation in this case because there are no US or NATO troops there.
Supporting Ukraine for now means supporting their brigades like Azov and hundreds of other neo nazi informal and formal militias. It means giving them cluster bombs and mines that’ll turn eastern Ukraine into a child amputee generating land for centuries. However, your “support” for this cause is ultimately meaningless because America is going to do it without the consent of her citizens because the American war machine wants to generate profits by sending off munitions to be blown up and replaced at Congress expense while insisting they don’t have money to feed hungry children, house the unhoused, nor have universal healthcare. For them it’s not about doing their part by helping plucky Ukrainians in their struggle, they just want more stuff blown up.
I see where you’re coming from on this one, I can’t say I fully agree, though. We’re giving them cluster bombs and mines to defend their country with, not amputate children. War is a shitty situation for all involved, but Ukraine and NATO did not start it, Russia did. And, yes, the American Military Industrial Complex does like its global conflicts where it can sell and test out its fancy weapons. In this particular situation, I support agree with doing this because those weapons are being used for defense against an invading force that I, as an American, am opposed to.
The end goal for Ukraine right now is apparently to take back the Donbass region and Crimea, these will both not happen. NATO trainers don’t know how to fight a war when they don’t have unlimited air superiority - the tactics they’ve taught have costed thousands of Ukrainian lives. Instead of fighting this stupid war, Ukraine should enter into peace negotiations (which they’ve tried to do!!! but NATO countries keep telling them not to). That might mean losing Crimea, maybe even Donbass - but the people who lived there, near as can be told, weren’t exactly happy to be under the suzerainty of Ukraine anyway. It’s a process that will come much more easily with the end of NATO and US support - just like what happened in the middle east following the withdrawal of US forces.
So just give up and allow Russia to take whatever they want, I disagree with this one. I also find it hard to believe that Ukraine is ok with giving up any territory to Russia.
At the end of the day, I want Ukraine to win this war and have their country back. This outcome would also mean that Russia would come out weaker in the end. I’m ok with my tax dollars going to that.
So, you believe that Ukraine should just give up and allow Russia to take whatever they want?
Also, forgive me because I think I’m misunderstanding the theme of this instance. Isn’t this an instance for right-wing, conservative, Republican discussions, or is it something else?
That’s actually a fair point. To be totally honest, for me personally, I’m not exactly for Ukraine as much as I’m against Russia, if that makes sense. However, I do recognize that Ukraine got unfairly invaded by another country, and they should defend themselves.
If you actually support Ukraine, you should push for peace, not more weapons to be sold to their government.
I want peace, but not if that means Russia takes Ukraine against their will by force.
Well, it’s a good thing from my perspective because I’m an American, I want my country to be powerful.
I appreciate the answer, if you don’t mind me asking, are you American? If so, it just seems strange to me that you don’t want your own country to be a strong political and economic power. If you’re not an American, then that’s an understandable opinion to have. It’s possible I’m misunderstanding the theme of this instance.
And also:
Tldr; why is the US supporting Ukraine a bad move? Because it supports US global supremacy.
I disagree with this because it isn’t only the US that is aiding Ukraine, it’s NATO.
I hope I don’t get castrated for this by everyone here but I’m genuinely curious so I’m going to ask. For coxtext, I’m a dirty commie retard hippie dick suckin left wing lib (not a meme, I am literally a Liberal Democrat). Now that that’s out of the way, I’d like to ask someone who disagrees with me why they think that supporting Ukraine is a bad move? The way I see it, the longer this war goes on, the weaker Russia gets. Sure it’s costing the US (and other countries) a lot of money and resources but we are essentially weakining a not-so-friendly country of ours without having to send our own troops to fight it. Why is this a bad thing? Should I not care if Russia gets more powerful than it already is? Am I retarded?
Nothing is stopping you from being a mountain man and living out in the forest, or living in an apartment, or living in a homeless shelter. The world is yours, OP. Don’t let your memes be dreams.
I tried wearing a fitbit for about a year but I work outside in a hot climate and it kept dying from baking in the heat all day. Sent two of them in for warranty replacements until I finally gave up on it and sold the last replacement I got on ebay. I definitely would be willing to try a ring though, assuming it could hold up better.
I moved to lemm.ee from lemmy.world after that whole hack thing a few weeks ago and it seems like lemmy.world has been going through some weird shit ever sense.
Zoom got on the map because of covid and now that that’s over and working from home isn’t as popular as it was a couple years ago they need to figure out another way to make money, looks like they are selling customers data to do so.

I actually tried out Vivaldi for about a month before I went back to Firefox but I like it as well. I think it’s the best chromium based browser out there.
The first thing I do whenever I install any new OS is change the wallpaper, I dgaf about the default one lol
I’m not officially diagnosed with ADHD or anything but I do struggle to focus on a singular task, I have a sneaking suspicion that I do have something like that. Anyways, I can’t read books because I just can’t focus on them, same with long articles or any long block of text really. I also would recommend audio books, I’ve “read” tons of great books out there that I otherwise would have never touched. I also use TTS to “read” articles I find online.
How do you do, fellow pirates?
$300 for earbuds lmao
I would like to but I use Samsung devices mostly and they lock down their hardware harder than Fort Knox unfortunately. What are some manufacturers that do allow you to install custom roms on their devices?
so in order to make this work, i have to disable all my other extentions? lol
