Steam box =/= normal gaming pc

My 5 year old pre built acer laptop is around the same price and specs, and only the cpu is better on the steam square.

Comparing the release of ps5 with current day stuff seems weird. Why not compare with the launch of valve? Or personal computers in general?

… People actually do app subscriptions? Not a meme, I’m actually asking because that sounds crazy to me.

Yeah but that’s different.

Because… Something something USA sucks HAHAHA A PWND now let me spam emojis and gifs while pointing out spelling and grammar errors because I have no real argument and just want to feel smugly superior.

/s, obviously.

I have been getting the lgbt+ people in my area acquainted with firearms, and while some of them aren’t mentally in a place where they can join us, they will be protected if needed.

Already this year one of my “students” has had to defend themselves in an alley while walking home. Guy made transphobic comments, waited outside and followed. Security cameras managed to catch everything but in this city if there hadn’t been cameras, she’d be tossed in a cell with a bunch of guys and then the cops would leave and hope something bad happens. It wouldn’t be the first time.

When the people surrounding you would happily chuck a stone at you or hoist the rope into the tree with the rest of the lynch mob, and cops won’t protect you, all the people trying to mock you for being prepared just look like naive children whose world view extends to the end of their HOA.

Look up “Certifiably Ingame” on whatever front-end of youtube you use, and check out his Playlist on starships. He goes into detail about various classes and specific named ships, and for the classes will bring up their naming conventions and uses and whatnot.

Side note: I don’t understand the idea that an animated comedy show is somehow “less Canon” than a live action drama show.

Why?

LD is just as Canon as discovery. Honestly discovery, in my opinion, is entirely implausible because the runners were adamant that it be set before TOS, but the tech and shipsizes is definitely post DS9. Possibly even golden age of exploration huge.

But for some reason lower Decks is “not Canon” to some people…

“we cannot get out: the end comes soon we hear drums drums in the deep. They are coming”

Completely unrealistic.

The cops would have been there already dragging people out the doors to beat them away from the cameras inside.

I’ve got a couple busted laptops and some loose memory floating around, I just need to find one of my working hdds.

Technically I have an extra one but it’s acting as my media drive right now and I don’t even have a backup of it…

I definitely want to make the switch BEFORE my current setup dies, since it’ll be easier to transfer/convert everything I can.

I haven’t read it in full in well over 15 years, but that comment made me go find it.

I am not okay today if this is making me cry and I just woke up an hour ago…

I love it

Okay look, when my current drive fails I’m never EVER reinstalling Microsoft,cand I’m not getting another Microsoft computer. Macos was never even an option…

So One Day™ I will chomp down hard on that cracker…

I even broke out my old laptops to see if I could salvage an hdd to give current laptop (with space for an extra hard drive) a separate (if smaller) Linux drive.

Sadly all 3 were unusable, they literally freeze everything that tries to access them…

But I pinky swear I’ll be making the swap Soon™

“hmm, I’m bored. Oh look here’s some people enjoying a small laugh. Imma shit on the fun. How DARE they enjoy a joke I personally don’t like. The FOOLS! THE ABSOLUTE MORONS! I simply MUST tell people their frivolity is absurd.”

You can just buy keys.

I actually have a few that I keep in my protest bag.

I also have a couple pairs of cuffs.

My gender-non-specific human, why do you insist on calling every single person here shitty for calling out BS reddit tactics?

Are you in love with their CEO or something? It’s a little weird.

I got banned from about 15 subreddits I never even knew existed once by calling out a transphobic dogwhistle, and when I inquired about the bans, the mods insinuated I was a child molester and neo-nazi.

Reddit mods don’t need to follow any sort of logic.

And confidently asserting someone is a dick because they got banned from a subreddit is hilarious, and should probably prompt some self-reflection.

That’s what I’ve always heard, and though I can’t think of where I vaguely remember seeing an interview/BTS style video where he said they had to make some assumptions based only on the trailer, the poster, and things Lucas had said himself.

Spot on though, you’d think it was made after the prequels came out.

It’s called “executive dysfunction” and it doesn’t make you lazy.

My wife started out with tons of republican views, she just didn’t vote ever.

Through conversations about the state of things, pointing* out hypocrisy, and validating the feelings her religious family was telling her to suppress, I’m happy to say I’ve managed to marry a leftist. She didn’t even really have the liberal pit-stop many of us take.

I’ll take 100,000 leftists married/dating/whatever to 100,000 liberals over 200,000 conservatives any day of the week.

I have told managers, to their faces, I do not have a smart phone… While holding my smart phone.

So far, while most have quite noticeably glanced at my phone, none have actually called me out on it.

If any of them ever do, I will just get a prepaid flip phone and use that for work.

It’s curtains for me.

I guess I’d better frame my next comment differently!
