I mean I try to have nuanced perspectives about the world. I'm against abortions as a social conservative but that doesn't mean that I have a wooden perspective on it. If the mother's life is in danger, if the woman was raped, incest, then I can be reasonable regardless of how strong or grounded i feel about that specific ethical issue. That doesn't mean that I'm not being consistent with my ideology, it just means that most things in life don't have a black and white answer.

People immediately hear water and graphics cards and immediately formulate in which price gouging should be appropriate and which it shouldn't without hearing the circumstances.


You're looking at this as a dichotomy. We don't need to rely on the market to supply water. We can just, ya know, have a properly funded and administrated disaster response force. Unfortunately, we keep electing Republicans.

Ah yes the reflection of greed and the unevolved nature of humans where left to their own devices goes sour.

So I've been trying to buy a desktop PC over the last week or so. I'll be working from home for at least the next couple of months and will need something sturdy long term for my hybrid work. I also want to game (i put gaming off for so long, really want to play Red Dead, Cyberpunk, D2R, etc) on this computer so I'm trying to either separately buy a graphics card or purchase a pre-built comp with one in it.

So far it's nearly impossible to find GPUs that are reasonably priced. Most of them are sold out across the board from places like Best Buy, AMD, Nvidia, and so on. But there's a striving secondary market.


aw man i feel ya dude. been trying to get a 3080 but the scalpers here selling it for $1800-$2200. it's literally more than half my pc budget

My GPU has over doubled in price since i bought it last year. Best bet is to hope for crypto to collapse. Good luck with that tho.

Also, if the sellers wanted to do something about it they probably could. The free market is a bitch sometimes.

I could have flipped mine for 50-75% more right after I bought it. Probably still could.

Nah, it's making me $10 a day or more depending on where hte price of Eth goes. Already cashed out $500 (though I put it into GMR last night, so we'll see where it goes) so I'm 25% of the way through paying it off.
