I am going to upgrade to a new computer within a few months depending on when it feels right. My current computer has issues and is lacking in the performance that I desire from a computer. Please do not try to persuade me to a specific brand because I am only sticking with Apple. It's what I am comfortable with and used to, and Apple computers are good enough.

If you have any thoughts about what type of Macbook I should get, do share. I prefer the Pro versions over the Air models because of the better internal hardware and additional ports. I want to buy one that I plan on keeping for many years, and its performance should be acceptable for many years. 

I basically have to balance the ratio of performance : money.

One that I have landed on is the 2021 MacBook Pro, M1 Pro Chip, 16 GB Ram, 512 GB. The price is around $1,000, most likely a bit more. I think its power would be more than enough for what I want and need, and the price doesn't seem too bad. What do you guys think? 

Now that I am 18, what are some prudent and productive things I should do first in my life? Adulthood is very different from childhood. What do you recommend?

Share suggestions or favorites you have. I may broadcast a link if I feel like my content is worth viewing by others

Most of my debates from here on out will be about the Bible or similar content. I created a forum because like the title says, this will be a series of mine with no signs of stopping. 

The forum is also so those interested can contact me ahead of time. Reasons could be: a specific topic for debate, debate alterations, or the like. 

I am not into debates in which the title is in itself a trap. These arguments are made to increase my knowledge of Biblical content and opposing views.

Again, if you are interested and have a specific topic, let me know.

If there is low activity on this forum then I my debates will simply be "Bible Is True" or something like that to give Con the full capability to attack however they like.  

This can be YouTube or BBC News or something entirely else.

I do not have one as of yet. Hearing your opinions would help me to choose an effective platform to utilize.

I am probably one of the first to experience this update. I do not know exactly when it started, or when the update was finished. I was on the website around 10:30 am, and there had been no changes yet. I hopped back on around 12:30 am to see some modifications. Update occurred sometime in that 2 hour gap. 

There have definitely been tweaks made to the site such as font style and font color. Slight adaptations elsewhere. 

The question is: is this innovation or merely adaptation?

Has this update improved the site and how so? 

It is now Valentine's Day for the United States.

This holiday is modernly known as a day of love. My Valentine's this year (hold back your tears) is: me. Today is all about appreciating my value and being thankful for my abilities. I thought what better way to acknowledge my existence than through suffering. On this day, Feb. 14, I will accomplish the feat of 1,000 push-ups. You are all welcome to join me in my exercise insanity (I think I'm insane sometimes). I also urge you to find something to love about yourself today. Be happy with who you are and grow to be your best. If 1,000 seems a stretch, do 100. If you do not like push-ups--I certainly don't, pick something else to do. It's all for the benefit of your well-being.

This is not meant to be satirical or perky, but a message of goodwill. Take it however you like

The idea for creating this forum came from reading a post from RM stating he is a flat-earther. https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/8762/post-links/367653

This forum has been created so he can share his thoughts and others can also give their piece on the subject. I find "Flat-Earth" views to be interesting and worth learning more about.

A nice addition to DebateArt would be to create a "random debate generator." This tool would be capable of creating spontaneous debate titles. If there are new users to the website or regulars that are lacking in creativity, this device would grant instant possibilities for debates

Am I held to moral or ethical standards that would say I need to strive to not be unhealthy? Obesity? Addictions?
