Youtube literally flat banned any channel with CP in it. Regardless of what CP actually stood for, like say combat power in pokemon go… Lots of bigger YouTubers got hit with account closures for like a week before it got reversed.

so as someone who took a break from GW2 at EoD launch after finishing the story what about this warrants a purchase? Everything I’ve seen so far hasn’t been…amazing and the only thing I’m immediately excited for is the weapon changes but that seems hardly worth buying an expansion for. I guess this would finally push me to stop relying on HoT gliding and actually unlock the flying mounts though.
Until we’re all dead, its the truth.
You’re the one arguing animals are smarter because they passed down history orally. Yes some of humanity’s tools have impacted the environment but we also have the capability to save not only ourselves but literally every other species. No single animal ever comes close to this. Period. Call it a god or savior complex, fine, but the truth remains humans are the only species we have ever encountered in the known universe with that kind of power and potential.
As to your evidence of cetaceans, I’m not sure that matters considering it’s all hypothetical unproven. You’re trying to weigh something that we can actually confirm against abstract conjuncture like they’re on the same level. I might be a millionaire some day, does that mean I should spend like I am one now?
Your argument makes no sense because humans have been passing down oral history for ages too before the internet and writing. It was literally one person’s job to memorize everything and then teach it to the next “history holder.” That’s why we have such shit record keeping before we invented books. And why ballads and songs were also used to help memorization.
However to a lesser extent books, but definitely the internet is far beyond a basic data aggregator. It allows instant communication across the entire world akin to telepathy, seemingly endless space for knowledge good or bad, entertainment, business enabling/generating, allows you to 1 way communicate with the dead by reading wisdom from some person 1,000 of years ago. You keep saying “well humans have a tool bias”, yeah no kidding because the tools we make LITERALLY CHANGE THE WORLD, for good or bad. I believe it was the phantom menace who so aptly put it, “the ability to communicate doesn’t make you intelligent.”
Not to the same degree, show me the animal with internet storage or books.

As the computer nerd in my friends/family circle, Im constantly being gifted old PCs from people. Some I keep and repurpose into servers/other things and others I just recycle for them. I also am an avid PC gamer so when my rig gets retired I usually upgrade the other servers internals from parts I had left over. Don’t know if something else is viable for you to keep costs down, even if you can get the PC without a HDD but everything else.
