Any suggestions on what I shouldn't pay more than and other stuff to look out for in a x220. I want something that can word process and maybe play Star Wars Battlefront 2 or Civilization 3.

Also I've just been enjoying the process of tinkering using crouton on my Chromebook and having to search how to figure things and and being able to torrent stuff again so wouldn't mind tinkering around with a Thinkpad.

lot of people been telling me i trusted someone i shouldnt have and i can think of so many possibilities my head is spinning. impossible to say really but its weird to ever expect privacy on a networked computer at all, and its also near impossible to say whos a rat at times. so i will continue on as much as i suffer for it because i can do nothing else. pure will/drive. its time for me to read schopenhauer
edit: but first i need sleep bad
in not work related news i put a pirate tv station together in my house. two chained 24DB adjustable amplifiers feeding a dual biquad antenna i made, more or less omnidirectional about three house lengths range with a good receiving antenna. it could probably be much more but the other amplifiers i have are dogshit and need a bunch of things fixing out of the box. this is illegal but i dont care because its an unassigned channel and nobody else can pick up analogue anymore
second_axiom posted:i'll be hoenst, i get really fucking paranoid and angry when people tell me to log off lol. i'm like, why? why do you keep posting and telling me, specifically, to get offline? it's always posed as concern for me or else that im 'too good' for it, yet you continue on? why do you want me to quit so bad? i am inclined in those moments to interpret it as either like paternalistic chauvinism or fear, idk. can't get over this suspicion of people's motives
back on old mothership Laissez's Faire subforum, there was a thread called "sadbrains thread". I posted exactly one post in it. At the time I posted that one post in that one thread, I was working at a non-profit helping people receive some marginal amount of health care, including mental health care, from programs that determined eligibility using the poverty line defined by the United $naKKKe$ federal government.
Anyway my one and only post in that thread said that if the people in the thread were depressed, they should probably not try to cope through a discussion thread on a Web site where telling someone else to commit suicide is part of the microculture. No one listened. Because I was ignored as a powerful posting entity obscenely ahead of my time, we now have Twitter, where the in-group identifier is being able to tell someone to commit suicide in a way that can't be proven in a few seconds to a tired moderator in Indonesia somewhere who looks at a thousand micro-posts just like that one, every single day.
This is a "tHE r H i z z o n E" "house style" post but I don't mean to be cryptic here. What I mean is that people may be telling you to log off not because they think bad things about you, but because discussion online is at best moderately aggravating to everyone most of the time. Everyone involved in it knows that it's aggravating and participates in that, and they're relieved to type "log off" at someone for once in earnest, in the genuine hope it might happen and that it would be a genuinely good thing for someone else if it did happen, instead of typing "log off", etc. in the usual mode of sarcastic fatalism. It's possible those people wish they could muster an excuse or justification that might convince them in their own minds to do themselves what they're advising you to do, because they know it would probably be a good idea for them too.

thank you, this is helpful at a time when my brain is too fried by paranoia, hallucinations and depression to think correctly let alone parse intention on the forums. i know i can do that better at another time, as i have for years, in trhe past and i'm embarrassed by my cognitive failings at the present time in teh extreme. that's schizo stuff i guess. thinking about trying an antipsychotic again but this hasn't proven to be helpful for me in the past and as i'm sure you can imagine i've tried a lot of them for varying lengths of time. last attempt i had a tardive dyskinesia scare so i might be at the point where that's not even a good idea to fuck with anymore. i see a new psychiatrist mid-december but idk. not even sure what to do at this point
edit: doing derailment right here i just noticed upon re-reading. evry cool

ganbatte. I'd ask the psychiatrist about the medication, if there's one thing this world has right now it's a lot of different medicines available.

thats rough. very common if you are not eating. i would recommend an electrolyte powder mix... which is probably what they gave you in the orange drink.

the i7 probably explains the price, how much ram did you get with it? 8 or 16?

After more research I've decided I'm going to build a cheap computer.
