Might TSTM later to increase the number of suffering black people in the world.
There is a large body of research that indicates this isn't what happens and in fact direct relief often goes toward education and birth control, lowering birthrates.
Don't TSTM to increase african suffering, do it to genocide black people

Oh shit Scron, you got that “forced aging via blink” superpower thing going on. If you blink at someone 50 times they’ll get old and frail and you can just steal their shit or even kill them with a few more blinks. Plz don’t do it to me man, I don’t wanna be a senior citizen yet

Totes down for Olympic jousting. Or screw the Olympics and let’s do international chivalric contests, including jousting, swimming, poetry composition, and to cap it all off a grand melee.

Straya was conquered by the emu kangaroo alliance many years ago after the humans’ last failed offensive. Everything we know about it now is emu propaganda

In the desktop arena, I personally cannot recommend buying a prebuilt gaming computer. IBuyPower, CyberPowerPC, and all of those other prebuilt systems are essentially junk. They use bottom tier motherboards, bottom tier RAM, bottom tier NVME, bottom tier liquid or air cooler, and only go mid-range on the CPU and GPU. Case is custom made in house, costs them pennies on the dollar and is usually shit.
So I admit I bought a box from CyberPower recently and have been pretty happy with it. First time I've ever done it, always operated by the principle that real men assemble their own computers and having someone else do it is a sign of moral weakness. But this one was a work machine and I didn't want to expense each part separately, and didn't want to spend the time doing the assembly, so figured since I was spending someone else's money then let's just do it. I did the deal where you pick the parts and they assemble, for each piece they did have a "mystery meat whatever's cheap and in stock" option, but you could pick specific brands/models, usually at some (fairly reasonable) upcharge.
I mean yes, you do pay for the service and your selection of parts is more limited, I'm sure you're paying some markup and you just generally have fewer options to control price. It's not optimal in terms of what you pay to get a working machine. But now that I'm not a broke student trying to cobble together something to play crysis in my dorm room I kinda appreciate trading cash for less research/assembly time/stress
