So, I guess you guys are officially Flat Earthers now?
Casey Cook10 said:But I mean, how can you even trust people who haven't actually accomplished anything real in their lives? They're basically living in a completely different world from regular folks. Honestly, they probably look down on people like us and secretly despise everything we stand for, they just don't want to be politically incorrect about it.
That’s basically the job description for every politician in Rhode Island.

But since you’re still stuck on the idea that civilization will fall before a language dies out—there really isn't much point in me asking you anything else. Or telling you anything, for that matter.
I am. Look, what we have right now won't even last a thousand years. And again—what’s the point of a poster in Cyrillic? Who are they even trying to shock?
Sam Martinez9 said:What was the actual purpose behind Benetton's ads featuring that blood-stained shirt from a fallen soldier?
I suspect you can find the answer to that one on your own.
Since you're online anyway, take a moment to look up how many languages have vanished throughout history—it’s not just plant and animal species facing extinction—and see which ones are currently on the brink.
In some distant future, we might be left with only a handful of languages, eventually narrowing down to just one. I’m not quite sure if that will end up being Mandarin or English.
Why are you asking me? Ask Benetton. Like I said, civilization will likely collapse before any language actually dies out. So, what was the point of those SNV posters then?
Cuka As I was saying: I've always felt that OT posters are just completely underwhelming. There's nothing to them.☕
They don't stand out to me. They pull themselves away from the crowd, distancing themselves from everyone else just to grab attention and shock the senses. It’s a classic advertising tactic—I remember how Benetton used to operate back in the day. They’d run these provocative ad campaigns, like that one famous poster featuring a blood-stained shirt worn by a soldier from the North American conflicts.
And? What's actually the point of those posters? Is it genuine support for the candidates or just something else entirely? Honestly, civilization will probably collapse long before any language disappears.
Ethan Morales22 said:How is that a provocation? They’re using billboards to promote all three candidates at once. Both Kolinda Grabar-Kitović, Mirko Škoro, and Zoran Milanović 😉

Laugh all you want, but Mexicans in America aren't exactly winning any prizes here. Using Cyrillic as a way to stir the pot just digs them into a deeper hole—and trust me, the future doesn't look bright.
Just another completely useless, brainless provocation—and you just know some innocent person is going to end up paying the price for it. It looks like Tomislav Pupovac has run out of actual problems to solve, so now he’s just making himself his own full-time job.

I filled my cart and picked the cash option for that 10% discount. The final total looks about $100 higher, and now everyone’s claiming GPU prices are finally gonna tank.
Thanks for the quick response, but I gotta ask—what’s the deal with Windows? Nobody here actually included it in the breakdown. For a newbie like me, that feels like a massive gray area—especially since a retail copy costs an absolute fortune. You can grab an OEM version from a site like Newegg for maybe $30. If this is a stupid question, don't clown on me.
My old rig finally kicked the bucket—it's dead, gone, finished. Now I need a new one. I’m looking to grab a complete setup for $550 max $2000, and that needs to include a monitor (at least 22 inches), all the peripherals, and the OS. I’ll be paying cash on delivery or via credit card online. One more thing—is this deal from a local shop actually any good?

I know you guys are gonna jump down my throat and say I could build something better and cheaper right here in the States—but hey, if some guy in Germany is happy with it, why shouldn't I be?! Since I’m a total amateur, I wanted to ask the experts: can I put together a rig that matches these specs? Thanks. 🤔
