Yes keeping graphics cards cheap is definitely worth increasing groccery prices, privatized healthcare, unaffordable housing, state sanctioned violence against minorities, and 1000+ other issues. But hey at least the new Call of Duty is running great!

Ah, I see. You live in a white supremacist fantasy world.
Why are you feeding a troll?
You’re probably right. Time to stop.

This is sad on many levels. You need to open your eyes.
Kash Pattel keeps trying that and it’s not working…
I know this gets brought up a lot and maybe over done. But dude, that is 1) Not the case as being evidenced right now in large swathes of the US, and 2) Literal Nazi talking points. Like word for word what they told Jews before rounding them up and gassing them. (Also literally what US Japanese were told before being rounded up and put in concentrations camps despite obeying the law, but that’s less known)
It’s what they’re telling people now, right up until they smash down their door, kidnap them and send them to an overseas torture/death camp. And when they see this happening to their friends and neighbours, cowardly fools like this will say, “You must have done something wrong, because the white supremacists told me that if we non-whites just do as we’re told they’ll leave us alone.” And they’ll believe this until the thugs arrive at their front door, then they’ll protest that there has been a mistake, all the way to the death camp. It’s just sad to see.
You played your hand here fukkin troll. I won’t waste another glance and will never see a reply by you. Go scream into the void for attention.
Come visit America right now. You’re practically wasting money staying there, just move over. It’ll be fine, you’ll even get free rides in federal vehicles!
Bruv they aren’t committing more crime. That’s one of the reasons people are mad. Immigrants literally commit less crimes than nationals. Your argument for minorities committing more crimes is flawed because the only reason you think they commit more crimes is because police arrest them more, whether they were doing something illegal or not. “We target these people because we’ve targeted these people before”
How tf did this maga ass Kool aid get over to Australia? You have no idea how shit it is here or how shit works here.
Turning Point USA pushed hard into several other countries (sometimes under other names but often still as Turning Point). A lot of rich assholes ate it up because they think less taxes is what they need to reach nirvana or some shit.

Please, please, please come tell my neighbors, many of them Indian, how they’re doing fine. I would fucking love to see what they do to you. You’re a racist idiot. Again, go touch grass and read economics books not fap to racist talking points from 4chan.
Also please come tell the legal Mexican and Somali communities being deported how they should have just followed the law. I think it’ll go about as well for you.

You sound just like the Latinos for Trump. “I can’t be racist, I’m one of the good ones”. It’s not going well for them.

You’re presenting a graphics card as your entire argument? That’s the left wing socialist screw up? Goddamn I thought you needed to go touch grass before but now I think you need to just walk to the beach and stare at the waves or something too.
You can do a lot less with $100K in the USA than in other countries. Americans get paid more because they immediately have to pay that back out on expenses that are covered by taxes in civilised countries. So the pay sounds much better but it really isn’t. You’re falling into the trap of thinking “if we just did it like the Americans and didn’t pay for any common goods, we’d have more money in our pockets.” You would, for about 5 minutes until the bills came. Then you’d have less, and also live in a dysfunctional society where everyone is miserable and angry and defensive. Left wing politics is what protects a society from this fate. It’s not worth throwing it all away for a slightly cheaper graphics card.

If you move to Austin I will find you and kick your ass.

You’re already living in America bud, you’re just in one of its vassals.
Check your homeowners insurance cost and property taxes before you start talking about how cheap houses are in Texas. It can run $18k/year in insurance and another 10k in property taxes for a $400k house… If you put 80k down on a $400k house, the mortgage is roughly $2100/month in principle and interest, plus another $933ish per month for Property taxes($5000/year), insurance($5000/year), and hoa fees($1200/year). Your housing cost is ~$3k/month. Property taxes go up every year on top of that. They are limited to a 10%/year increase but historically, that translates to basically a guaranteed 10%/year increase, especially in the last 10 years. Insurance premiums have more than doubled in the last 10 years as well.
That’s also not covering the god awful electricity stability so you want some sort of generator or battery backup so you don’t literally freeze to death in the middle of winter. Basic starter generators are what, $10k right? And then $2k in gas a year? Minimum.
To run a heater or ac, you need a significant generator. I have been looking at battery systems and to run an existing residential ac, its like 10k and you need two inverters. Where I am, the power failures have been minimal and manageable (30 minute intervals every couple months) The exception was Hurricane Beryl and we were out of power for 3 days. I intermittently ran a generator for our fridge and the neighbors to charge stuff but even running a window unit was not an option on our 5000w generator. It burned maybe 2 gallons of gas?
Running an electric central air heater is also essentially out of the question. With a gas heater, you just need to run the fan and not heat the elements.
Despite the health risks, that is why we still use. Gas water heaters, gas furnaces, gas dryers, and a gas stove in our house. I want the fallback of running stuff without power. The grid is also shitty to the point (in some areas) that it fried my uncles induction stove, fridge, and ovens even living in a major city.
That also wouldn’t have helped during the winter storm in Austin because the gas supply basically froze and lost pressure so those folks were really hurting.
I think the big built in generators run 15k plus and run off natural gas. I did learn that they also require a maintenance subscription (because of course they do) and thats like 2k a year iirc.
Gotcha, so I was in a very beginner ballpark. That sounds like a lot of no thank you hassle.
Not to rub it in but I’m going to go make hot chocolate on my induction stove and bump the heat up one for my wife.
I think you’re looking at averages and not median. The US has a lot more billionaires and now trillionaires. Median household income in Australia is $1800/week and in the US it’s $1500/week and plummeting plus our unemployment is now through the roof to a degree that’s not even being measured accurately. And we go broke from healthcare.
I know you pay more for some elements of gaming, and you’re being shafted on that. But maybe check the news out a little and ask if Call of Duty is really worth all this.
We don’t have the first trillionare yet. Musk hasn’t actually been paid that package.
Yeah, I was being a bit glib about that. Who knows, maybe we can bankrupt Tesla before he does.
So your take is about fucking VIDEO cards? Do you understand that the price increases of PC hardware is tied directly the AI industry and crypto, which Trump and his admin have gone all-in on deregulating and endorsing for investment?
Please, I beg of you to learn even the most BASIC facts about your world outside of your gaming rig before making political decisions. You know well it has nothing to do with money either, you just hate feminists or some stupid social shit that you can’t wrap your feelings around so you want to make everyone mad by electing some moron to lead you around by the nose. It’s pathetic, be better.
Yeah but with the US in charge, that $650 will be spent on a hangnail.
Invade my country because graphic cards are too expensive.
This is the most ignorant comment I have read on the internet in a while. And I read a lot of shit on the internet.
I’d really like a filter for lemmy/mbin/kbin that lets me simply auto-block profiles with negative rep.
They’re open source, can always suggest on the github repos even if you can’t implement yourself.
Conservative politics always ends in a dog shit economy. Trump is currently top two worst world leaders for their country following only Putin.

So you’re just a racist. That explains everything.

You couldn’t leave, you’d be less than a territory, at best. You’ll get no representation, no voting rights and certainly no citizenship. We’d pillage your resources and you’ll live in a fucking shack to support my lifestyle. We won’t help you when a natural disaster strikes, we’ll ensure you can’t get the help or supplies you need in a famine. You and your future generations would die in the streets begging for sovereignty.
Stop advocating for this stupid position or it might just happen. Fair warning.

There is a difference between the America of 30 years ago and now that you may not realize. You reference housing and yeah 30 years ago you could afford housing (possibly) but now private equity has purchased housing so new home ownership is getting impossible. You mentioned American laptops (made in China) and operating systems (Linux is from Finland), but the breakthroughs that allowed for current American tech dominance were based on policies that have been dismantled and now currently exist due to monopolies. We are on a downward trend over here where we are living off the accomplishments of old. Think about it like IBM. They were a tech powerhouse until they moved to being a services company and then became a shadow of their former self. They still exist and are a big company but nothing compared to what they were. That’s America now. Australia has the potential to take the reins if they DO NOT follow the current US example as do many other countries.
I submit that you have no fucking clue what America is supposed to be, and that you’re just getting your jollies off of parroting jingoistic conservative dogma.
You sound so stupid you may as well become American and be done with it.

I stand corrected. And it sat dormant until 2 hours ago. Whatever the reason for that is is irrelevant, but you’re clearly here to fuck with people.
So, from American, I say you’re welcome to move here and enjoy the fall of this empire in real time with us. Until you do that, stfu about how wonderful life would be with a senior citizen with onset dimentia sunsetting before the world’s eyes while he unleashes his own private thug army to destroy people’s lives.
You should be able to get a free room with meals at the nearest loony ward. Just show them this comment…

If I had a dollar for every time on Lemmy that I encountered a mysognistic CS student that thinks they know more than they do, I would now have a dollar. And that’s quite a fucking shame, considering I’ve been here for years.
The industry you’re trying to break into was founded by women, LGBT folks, and people who envisioned technology as a path towards the betterment of humanity. Do better. You’re acting like a disgrace to its legacy.
You literally have no idea what you’re talking about. You are believing media instead of looking into where your wages are going and getting involved. That or you have massive sexual insecurity and for some reason you want to submit to a wrinkled, 80-year-old millionaire and have invented a very weird narrative for why that gets you so hot.
I hope you get what you wish for.
But Trump will invade Austria first on a typo.
