I'm pretty interested in intel cards
Mostly for their performance/$ in terms of their encoders
They can destroy higher end nvidia cards for way less

Not every man with a beard looks like gab-
Hi, this is Gabe
Oooooh!!!
misty sparrow
i saw a mall santa and thought it was gaben in a santa outfit so i dont blame him
opaque sedge
is it true santa hates poor kids?
misty sparrow
yes
opaque sedge
lol i find the premise of that phrase so funny ngl
sage sluice
is it true santa hates poor kids?
he never gives anything to them
opaque sedge
cuz santas in fact are the parents
and that statement implies poor parents hate their kids
sage sluice
cuz santas in fact are the parents
lol funny joke
misty sparrow
and that statement implies poor parents hate their kids
cartman would say yes
sage sluice
doubt santa would appreciate it much tho
rancid juniper
If you're a parent would you actually tell them firsthand that Santa isn't real?
Or will you let them believe until they know themselves?
misty sparrow
If you're a parent would you actually tell them firsthand that Santa isn't real?
Yes
rancid juniper
Ok
sage sluice
my mom told me santa wasnt real when i was like 5 and to play along with all my cousins when our uncle would give us presents
opaque sedge
If you're a parent would you actually tell them firsthand that Santa isn't real?

It’s better that people realize how the world works early on rather than believing in magical thinking

Same, it's your life no one has to dictate it but yourself
sage sluice
prejudice in any form is a sign of ignorance
so stop assuming things about people based on profiling lol
mortal grail
I'm chill with peoples opinions, just not making stupid decisions lmao
sage sluice
thats the same as seeing someones race and assuming cultural aspects of them
or as a gay person people who dont understand it ask me "what why dont you speak in a gay voice?"

rancid juniper
It's good to believe in what you want to believe it makes everyone different and unique, getting angered because someone else believes in another religion is not the way and never should be
mortal grail

Judgement without a chance to resolve is also not very wise
rancid juniper
We are flawed, don't forget that
mortal grail
So giving people a chance is fair
misty sparrow
and i frankly don’t think it matters
rancid juniper
But we try to do better when we get the chance
Those that don't, uh idk seek help lmfao
mortal grail
nobody just knows everything the moment they pop out
My favourite quote tbh "You didn't pop out the womb able to practice Mozart" lol

all of us are flawed, judging people for their flaws isnt healthy. however people should work on their flaws too

I think this important social wisdom though. Knowing that people have a reason for why they say things is a powerful tool
It also helps you learn a person

Catholicism, lutheranism, roman catholic, protestant, christian (umbrella), quite a few

I live as a good person should

Buddhism, taoism etc and other religions also have their ups and downs too
sage sluice
I don’t like religion in general
and thats perfectly fine

I lean in the way of atheism at times as I'm not clear on any outcome
But living as a good person is fulfilling

i dont think you need religion to have morals

the difference between religion and cultwork is one is consentual the other isnt truly despite believing it is

Every religion is guilty of this and I hate it
sage sluice
i think catholism leans into cultwork
mortal grail
Nothing wrong with rejecting it
misty sparrow
It gives the feeling that what you believe in incorrect and seems cultish
mortal grail
The world is a dynamic place
sage sluice
Every religion is guilty of this and I hate it

i mean i grew up religious being from a religious household
private christian schools even
