Ah, great, my computer screen is doing some weird green and purple nonsense - might have to run it by Geek Squad and honestly hope that just the screen needs to be replaced and not that there's a problem elsewhere.

My laptop had the exact same issue... and after like a day or two with the same screen nonsense it died....

Well, technically the computer parts were fine, like it turned on and worked and everything but the screen would always stay black and blank..turns out this connector wire thingy was loose and a couple of bucks and half an hour later and we were all good to go :)


A week after that tho... it did die, cus I accidentally let it fall from the third floor...

So I ended getting this new one that's the latest model and like 1000 times better than my old one

Alls well that ends well I suppose : D

We in the business call that an opinion.

It is also an opinion that country music is terrible although it is a fact that it is bad enough to use. There were some neighbors (at someone else’s house) and we were being a bit loud. Out of nowhere, they bring out speakers and blast country music. That’s a passive aggressive way to get people to be quieter, I was told they had never done that before.

I think honestly everyone just wanted to use it as an excuse to defeat their rivals. The people didn't even care about who did what.

I would say that is a fair assessment. I mean one of the main men responsible for the war (you already know who I am about to say if you have watched the great war youtube channel) Austrian chief of staff and professional moron Conrad Von Hotzendorf was a massive warhawk and Franz Ferdinand was actually the main counterweight to him. So once Ferdinand got a bullet lodged in his skull Hotzendorf was able to influence Emperor Franz Joseph to declaring war and that started the whole chain reaction.

Most of the other nations did not really care about some Austrian Arch Duke it was just a convenient excuse to beat their rivals. And no one really thought the war would become the absolute hell it would become so there was no deterrent there.
