A 2008 machine and a 1996 machine are going to be drastically different in capability. Even the 2008 machine will be reaching certain limitations depending on what you want to use it for, and what the specific machine is.

More power to you for trying to recycle and refurbish older tech, I think that is a very positive thing! But I don’t think replacement parts will magically become available if they aren’t already, only currently available parts might become more affordable or available to the public. What I’m saying is, don’t expect an LGA 1151 motherboard to come into production again.

Sorry, no, even if it works for you (and I’m glad they do), it still sounds unhealthy and is a red flag. Red flags aren’t an immediate “this is a deal breaker”, it is a “this needs your attention” so you can see if it’s something you need to avoid or not. And just because everyone is in agreement and feels comfortable with something, doesn’t make that thing healthy. Communication is a good first step, and I’m not here judging your own situation because I don’t know the full situation, but simply being comfortable and in agreement over something doesn’t mean that thing isn’t dangerous to the relationship or the individuals in the relationship.

“Irresponsible initially” Geeze, crazy way to phrase it. What if the unwanted child was an accident despite precautions? And parents who didn’t want the child could be expected to be not as involved (still wrong), but a planned child that is equally neglected means the parents were selfishly putting their own wants for a child above the responsibility of raising the child.

There is no clean distinction between groups with the question you proposed, there are just too many variables that play into this sort of situation. Every family is going to be different, and every child going through this will react to the situation in a different way.

“Which is worse, seeing milk your roommate sitting on a counter and letting it spoil, or forgetting to put your own milk in the fridge and letting it spoil?” What’s the difference between them? Intention? Ignorance? Planning? How can you know from just those two examples?

Frodo was an orphan that never quite fit in at Brandy Hall. Some JRPG protagonists are left as fairly blank slates (Crono, Link), while Cecil of Final Fantasy IV was an orphaned prince, in Fire Emblem Marth loses his father and sister at the start if his adventure, and while not strictly a JRPG, Samus was raised by foster parents and was genetically modified to be a super soldier.

Sure, not every game or plot followed the trope, and there are plenty of great examples that break the trend or flesh the story out to carry it well, there’s a reason “orphaned chosen one” is a trope in the first place.

It’s also just something silly to point out and chuckle over. Sure, there are positive, story compelling reasons for a random commoner to be thrust into extraordinary situations and become a hero of the realm! But there’s also little (normal) reason for Bob the Baker to leave his life as a staple of the community with a loving family and steady work to wander the realm facing dangerous monsters and delve into ancient tombs. When you find a way to make the later work, it’s amazing, though!

And if/when they are successful at completing the unreasonable request, it’s “huh, that’s interesting. Must have been [nonsesne reason], and now you have to [moving of goalposts].”

And they will look at you with a straight face and say how much better the economy was under Trump. They really don’t care about any other factors, they will literally attribute any good thing to have been the masterwork of Trump, and anything they don’t like is some evil plot by Democrats intentionally structured to hurt them specifically.

Well adjusted individuals with a good social/familial network rarely become wandering mercenaries, but it’s so refreshing when everyone else is an orphaned lone-wolf prodigy with secret ancestry in the royal family

I think your writers are on strike

Dr. Tran in “Mister, Dr. Tran Murder Dr. Tran”

It’s Rage Against the Machine, not Rage Against Science and Medicine. They oppose systemic oppression, not health and safety.

It’s just a name, man

“El Kabong 2025”

It was never about our speed, it was about our endurance and persistence. There’s no point in history where we were the fastest creature in the local food chain, a deer or Buffalo was going to sprint faster than us, but when they had to stop to cool off or recover from the fast burn of energy, we were right there, right behind them, still coming.

It’s been a thing online since at least 1997-2000, because that’s when I first was coming across it when I was younger, so I’m willing to bet it’s been around since the dawn of the internet.

“Shipping” has been used in so much mainstream media as well, I’m surprised it wasn’t a more recognized term.

Interactive Education was always my favorite series from r/HFY
