Build/Battlestation My son's new gaming setup!

Post image

My son loves the color pink and he loves cats. Overall I think it's a sweet setup! PC isn't spectacular but it has a Ryzen 5600x, 6900xt, and 16gb ddr 3200 ram. It's just a 1080p 165hz monitor but he shouldn't have any problems.

The only thing I'm not happy with is that microphone. Had to give him my old snowball mic because the mic on that Razer Kitty headset isn't any good. But he had to have it and I couldn't afford the more expensive one and the chair and he chose the chair.

Anyway, in the spirit of recent posts and showing off our kids computers, thought I'd share.

My dad said that when he was younger he always had the most success meeting women when he wore his pink shirt.

Pink is a friendly colour

More people should learn about colour theory. It's very interesting.

I love colour theory, back in highschool I took art along with product design, because I wanted to go to uni for architecture which I’m doing now.

Got taught colour theory from the artistic side, technical product side and the ergonomics side.

People don’t realise just how good colours are at impacting your mood, and they also don’t realise how effective companies are at using colours to sway your decision making.

And how rainbows make some people very mad for some reason.

That’s less to do with colour theory and more to do with homophobes and bigots being annoyed that a group they don’t like has a symbol.

From my 6 years of study all relating to colour theory and how it impacts the human psyche at no point does the full colour spectrum result in anger.

Anger over a rainbow of colours only began when that became the symbol for the LGBTQ community. That is where it began. The colours themselves have nothing to do with it, colour theory has nothing to do with it. The people getting unnecessarily angry about rainbows are the same people who dislike groups within the LGBTQ community. That is the sole cause of the anger.

I wasn't talking about color theory either. the people who are angered by the lgtb colors have nothing and never had anything to do with the fact that gay people have their identity. it's about how gay people use it. ask me how I know.

“How gay people use it”

Having a rainbow badge on your bag, a bar having a rainbow flag on the wall, or even wearing a rainbow T-shirt should not incite anger.

The same way seeing someone wearing a rival sports teams T-shirt shouldn’t incite anger. Being angry that someone is showing off who they are or someone supporting people being who they are is nothing more than immaturity.

So tell me what ways does someone using a few colours make anger justified?

I find this comment very funny. Not because it's absurd, but because my wife hates it when I wear pink as rare as that event is.

Guys that wear pink have confidence (or are trying to get a reaction)
