Christmas lights come in strings with a male plug on one end and female on the other allowing for chaining together multiple lights, sometimes in the course of hanging them up people create a situation where they think they want to connect the two female ends together, thus they think this is the solution.

Mute them by pressing the buttons beside the screen one by one top to bottom, one of them will work if not the top one on the right I think.

It’s a call-out post of a specific user including their username in which many comments are disparaging that user specifically. The post may not be calling for any action or inciting any harrasement directly, but lots of comments here are bordering on some pretty heavy vitriol for someone typing differently. I can’t make a post complaining about someone typing in German. It’s the Internet, you will encounter people doing things in different ways than you are used to, even for reasons you think are stupid but that doesn’t make it ok to create entire threads directing hate toward someone.

And before anyone asks, “apparently the t key doesn’t exist for some people, reading this shit gives me an aneurysm.” Is definitely coming from a hateful place. If you disagree then replace “the t key” with “English” and see if that feels right.

“personal attacks are not welcome here.” “No content that harrases members within or outside of the community.”

Read the sidebar… it’s against the rules.

I’ve seen vastly more comments complaining about it than I have seen comments using it, just block them and move on.

You are correct in that all technically fit the definition of computers. However consumers don’t care about technical definitions or think rationally about purchases. They don’t all do a rational analysis of the products on the market that would accomplish their goals and spend accordingly. They walk into GameStop and buy one of the boxes that makes call of duty show up on their living room tv. Just like the Deck fits the definition of a handheld computer with a built in screen and controllers for playing games but isn’t stealing any customers from the switch.

Deck isn’t selling millions and it’s doing just fine. The Steam Machine will be a small computer box priced as such and there won’t be a single person that decides to buy it over a ps5, and that’s fine. Valve doesn’t have to compete with consoles cause they don’t make consoles.

Valve themselves have said that the Machine will not be priced like a console but like an entry level PC whatever that means. The only people that will notice this to buy it are people who already know what a PC is.

It’s a small computer, it isnt going after the Xbox or PS5 customers. It’s going for the people who want a computer in their living room.

How scared I am of a bat or a snake is directly proportional to their speed and direction. Plus the surprise variable.

This is the single most innocent quirk I have ever come across, if it stops you from sharing in the discourse you must not have had much to say in the first place. Seriously, our world is so fucked up that one person choosing to use an old letter for fun or personal enjoyment is sooooo far down my concerns list. You might as well be worried about what color shirt they are wearing right now.

Flavacol is just an artificial butter flavor with salt made into really fine particles. But you are correct, any time you’ve been to any business or place that had a popcorn machine you can pretty well guarantee they are using it.

I used to make the popcorn at Target and it’s what we used.

Oh it’s also cheap as shit and the carton will last you forever so just pick some up if you are curious.

Hehe, I know those blue gloves.

I just wanted to say thank you for the spoiler. I have arachnophobia though regular spiders only kind of weird me out unless they are like coming at me. But anything even remotely more than that and I wouldn’t be able to handle it. I choose to live my life believing scorpions are fake for example. Anyways, thanks for hiding the scary picture on the internet when you didn’t have to.

Without digging into my old love of things like Enya and Adiemus to see if anything actually matches I can recommend Valhallelujah probably still not quite what you were looking for.

This isn’t a petition like change.org. It’s to get this brought in front of politicians that HAVE to make a ruling based on it.
