I won't build my own, I'd rather pay someone to do it, that way if they break my shit they have to pay for it. If I break my own shit, well that's no good.
But yeah I wouldn't own a laptop over a desktop and the only reason I'd get a laptop was if I traveled a lot or something. You can get something about twice as powerful and less likely to overheat/drop/easier to upgrade if you go with a desktop.
Well obviously replaces the video card isn't a bad idea but it could also be any other hardware. Have you tried resinstalling the games? You may have actually corrupted some data by jarring it to hard, hell even popped some stuff loose. Make sure its all securely seated, and try a new graphics card if you want but I'd hate for you to buy one and find out it's just broken all together.
I hope you don't take this the wrong way, proletaria, but I don't care enough to do anything more than deny them my business. Maybe not care isn't the right way to phrase it. What I mean is there are a lot of causes I care equally about but I also care more about my family and my own financial stability and well being. It's not that I don't agree homosexuals should have a right to get married, I just don't really have a dog in the fight. Also I don't really have the funds to make constant donations, and there are a lot of causes I'd like to donate to or protest for so if I did what you're suggesting Azriel I'd be broke in no time. Agreeing to just not eat there anymore may not be a grand gesture but it's something I can do for free and with relative ease. I can just go across the street and eat at another chicken place. Sure it may not bring the company to its knees if people only boycott it, and the company isn't even the underlying problem here, it's people like the CEO of the company, but even if it helps make a dent in their business hopefully they'll realize why.
Long story short, I have too little time and money to donate to and protest for every cause I want to, so this is the least I can do. I believe battles are won bit by bit, it's not all or nothing.
Chick Filet's (I'm not spelling it the way they do!) CEO is fucking brilliant to be honest. I've never eaten there before and lately all I can think about is how I want to go get a sandwich there and how somehow the two pickles on it really does sound way good to me.
The only thing that offends me about all this is how lazy people have used it as a way to be political. They go eat a fucking chicken sandwich (which they'd do on any given day) and now suddenly they're showing their support for the anti-gay marriage agenda. Good for you, chicken eaters!
I've heard a few people actually say they want to eat chicken after this publicity (not in a joking way either).
Chick-fil-a is alright. I personally don't want pickles anywhere near my fucking chicken. It's gross.
Once this all blows over though I have a feeling the gay haters will go back to eating at a multitude of places like they always have and gay people will stay away from Chick-fil-a all together. I don't see this actually helping their business in the long run. I don't see many people strictly eating at Chick-fil-a just because they're against gays. People are going to eat where ever they want, the only people who are going to remember and say no thanks are the gay community, so they'll probably lose a portion of their consumer base, even it is or isn't a smaller one.Popeyes Chicken tastes better anyways.
There was a bus driver that liked a status about gay people burning in hell. Should be fired in my opinion. Someone who has violent beliefs like that shouldn't be allowed to drive children around.
I'm fine people want to claim freedom of speech and that Chick-fil-a has a right to do this that and whatever. That's fine, but just admit you're a bigot. Hiding behind free speech and the bible is a sorry damn excuse. Just admit you're a closed minded homophobe and move on.
It's ridiculous the amount of people who claim they don't hate gay people or they still believe they have a right to get married but then turn around and say they're exercising free speech and protecting Chick-fil-a's right to deny service to whoever they want. No you're not. You're a bigot. Do I recognize their rights to do what they want with their company? Yeah if it's legal then whatever. It's shitty but you have to take the good and the bad when you have freedom. Am I defending them though? No because they don't need defended, it's a company. They made their choice, they can deal with it. This isn't about free speech, this is about them openly hating gay people. (not everyone who works there I'm sure, but the company leads)
So I'm not going to defend their right to do what they want with their company, it doesn't need to be defended, but if you want to take such a hateful controversial stance as a company, be prepared to deal with the backlash.
That was a good decision on your part. I regret it also. I don't like the thought of all of my information being there in a database wrapped up in a neat bow. It's too late now though.
What really annoys me is when people use things like freedom of speech, or the bible to defend their bigotry and hate mongering.
I really hate all sensationalized crap like this that hits facebook. I don't think "likes" are going to cure cancer, stop African warlords, show Jesus you love him, legalize gay marriage, stop puppies from being killed, prevent global warming, etc. and I tried to stay out of it but stumbled across a really ignorant comment of someones that I had to respond to.
I'm blue in this discussion, obviously.
It let to him claiming he was just expressing his right to free speech and he believes gay couples should have a right to get married because the government shouldn't be able to tell people what they can and cant do, then he followed that up with how it personally disgusts him to no end. So after I took his broken logic and beat him over the head with it for about 10 minutes and he realized he didn't have a solid argument left he started resulting to personal attacks and that's when I just left and made sure to point out to him that's how someone who just realized how dumb they sound responds.
It ended up with me having about 8 likes and him with a sore anus. (sort of ironic)
Anyone who wants to join in is welcome, unless I don't know or trust you. >_>

Also I know a lot of lazy people like you who just have their desks right next to their bed. They make it work.
That doesn't sound like a bad computer though.
You dropped your laptop. >_>
Not much else to say.
