Not if they really did ruin the country.

And it wasn't all boomers, or only boomers. Part of silent generation bares blame as well.

Somehow during their reigning years all institutions were ideologically captured by lunatic leftists, therefore brainwashing young people into hating their own race, culture, country, etc., shipped the vast majority of all working class jobs that paid a good wage to the third world and flooded the country with people completely different from traditional American values.

We didn't get here by coincidence.

All generations ruined ( or attributed to) ruining America. The elite wealthy with corporate greed, racism one way then swinging the pendulum the other by quota systems, early business practices which hurt workers, then unions controlled by corrupt gangsters,

And of course let’s not forget the family values with religion becoming not as important, college professors……….

This is a human problem, not a generational one.

In the end you have to go with what makes you most comfortable using your devices which means in your case it would be the IPS.

Glossy IPS is a fine compromise anyway, a significant part of the contrast loss comes from the matte texture.

I went with the 9955HX3D, arguably the best CPU you can get in a gaming laptop right now. In CPU intensive programs that benefit from 3D V-Cache, the X3D should pull ahead of the 275HX and the 5080 but vice versa with GPU tasks. They don’t really offer a 5080 variant with the X3D without pushing the price close to $4K.

I’m actually replacing my desktop with this laptop because I need the extra space and want the portability. It’s honestly surprising how far gaming laptops have come. This setup should essentially match my current desktop’s performance while giving me a much more compact and portable form factor. Nvidia was just being greedy by only giving it 12GB of VRAM and capping the wattage, otherwise it would’ve performed nearly the same as a desktop 4070Ti or 5080 mobile.

He acts like it's your fault that you got a government job and retired early.
If you can, good for you. You didn't write that policy.

My son is a Carpender for the city...My daughter is a teacher in high school...my mother was chief clerk for NYS liquor authority...My brother was a cop...My sister worked for workman's comp board...I had three uncles who were cops...most of my family worked for the government and retired with pensions...I could have worked for the mob...I knew guys from my neighborhood that could have given me a job but I didn't like the retirement system if you know what I mean...

My father also had offers from the mob, but turned them down for obvious reasons.

we didn't look up to those people...we made fun of them but not to their face of course...I knew guys who were killed and guys who went to jail...I knew a guy who became the acting boss of the Columbo family...he's still in it...My cousin was a wannabee and knew Samy the Bull...He went to jail for extortion...he was related to Dr Fauci who is a criminal in my eyes...

BIG storm here tonight. Quarter size hail and 70 mph winds, power flashes. City sirens going off.

Ping pong ball size hail reported here!

I could see birthright citizenship to an illegal couple who has lived here for many years and just happened to have a baby.

But absolutely not for someone who comes here when they are already pregnant just to game the system.

It's called thinking and being reasonable.

You do not have a reasonable bone in your body. That's why you hate Trump. That's why you blame an entire generation for your personal problems.

Typical Gen Z loser.

Yea and the second you have an exception you'll have lawyers picking through it and then its toothless because everyone will eventually qualify for an exception

No, it's not that difficult. Have a residency requirement. A couple has to reside in the United States for a certain length of time before their baby is eligible for birthright citizenship.

They should deport ACBs adopted kids.

Amd lawyers will pick that apart pretty fast.

How? Do you even understand what you are saying? Someone either lives here or they don't.

You declare residency when you establish an address- either by paying rent or buying a home.

This isn't rocket science.
