  • Fred Hampton

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Hampton

    Hampton was drugged, then shot and killed in his bed during a predawn raid at his Chicago apartment by a tactical unit

    I must admit I don’t know who he is, but that is an excellent (awful) example of my claim that American society is sick.
    A normal police of a civilized country would never do something like that.

    I don’t know much about black panthers, but AFAIK they started out as a group protecting black people that were harassed by white people, and whites still practiced segregation in 1969 AFAIK despite it was illegal at the time. The racial hatred was insane! Or maybe it wasn’t decidedly hatred, but a sense of entitlement among whites, and they hated when people of color tried to change that.

    As someone who lives in Denmark, this is not something we have any focus on, except possibly an anecdotal story in history class in school.

    Anyways people need to learn to pull together on improvements that respect human rights.


  • The whole world is sick my guy.

    False equivalence.

    Which Dreamland country where oligarchs don’t control the decisions are you from again?

    Oligarchs do definitely not control my country, because I live in a country that has full democracy contrary to USA that is a flawed democracy.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Democracy_Index

    But it’s not because the democracy is flawed that USA is sociopathic, or because the oligarchs have too much power, the American society is literally mentally ill with widespread accept of a level of sociopathy that is only seen in very few countries.
    Examples of that are, 3 strikes and you are out, prisoners can’t vote, lack of healthcare for all, extreme fascist-like religious bigotry against LGBT+, death sentence, police shooting civilians. and of course extremely high murder rate, and the most extreme rate of people in prison in the world.
    These are points made with broad strokes, there are many more and all of them are caused by a complete sociopathic lack of will in society to fix these problems, and even a sociopathic endorsement of the above conditions. The tendency is to go with the sociopathic solution of just persecuting the victims more.
    THAT’S the sociopathy of American society. That you don’t see any other country with remotely equal wealth express to nearly the degree USA does.


  • The problem is that you can build a way faster system yourself for the same money. And that can be easily upgraded later.
    These things are supposed to be relatively cheap for the hardware when they come out.
    And this only performs like an RX 6600XT at best. Which is a 5 year old lower mid range GPU.

    It’s not that it doesn’t have its merits, it’s a cool little box, and probably good enough for most games at 1080p.
    But IMO it is a bit under-powered for the price.




  • Absolutely, Trump is a symptom not the disease, American society is sick. That doesn’t mean all Americans are sick, there are good Americans. But enough Americans see psychopathy as an expression of freedom. So they are willing to vote for a clear psychopath. The disease in American society is like a cancer, it’s not all cells in the body that are cancerous, but it’s enough to make the society very very sick.

    So are you one of those that claim that Republicans and Democrats are the same?
    That having a Republican controlled congress with a Republican president is the same as if they were both Democrat?

    because if you answer that with a yes, I think I’m just gonna block you.

    Edit:

    Really downvoted for saying the truth? Americans sure like their delusions and false equivalences. 🤮🤮🤮

    it’s practically the entire goddamn government.

    Why don’t you draw the logical conclusion, and realize it’s the American population that elected the dumb motherfucker that is responsible for the entire administration. And the American population that also elected a congress that doesn’t do anything!

    For fucks sake, Americans elected an obvious psychopath for president, with an equally psychopathic vice president!!!

    Edit:
    I’m guessing the downvotes are Americans that are in denial, because the above claims are undeniable facts, except the motherfucker part, which is rhetoric I borrowed from the previous posts.


  • I look forward to see this reviewed, 28 Compute Units on the GPU is below the Radeon RX 9060 XT that has 32.
    Hopefully it isn’t too limited in other aspects like RAM bandwidth.

    But on the other hand an RX 9060 XT alone is almost half the price of this entire unit (EU price). So if it can perform about as fast as that, it seems like a pretty good deal.

    Edit:

    Saw the Gamers Nexus review, and I’m impressed with how small it is, it’s also very power efficient. But those are not the things I’m looking for in a gaming system. And I am not impressed with the performance/price ratio.
