Like if lethal company sued repo

I really wanna play it cool and act like it was deliberate, but it wasn’t, and now I love it.

I mean really think about this strategically: if you’re the US and you want other countries to feel an economic squeeze because you think you can throw your weight around, you can’t do it in such a fragrantly aggressive/hostile way. You know why? Because capitalism fucking loves good marketing. If you can sell righteous indignation/support, you have a recipe for billions.

The Canadian companies refusing to do business with American companies or refusing to sell their products aren’t just making a moral stand - they’re giving themselves an advantage. They are leveraging an opportunity to go “buy from us because the US is awful and we are Canadian and we’re awesome and not awful.”

“Buying Canadian” is a moral and economically advantageous act. Ever wonder why every single hybrid car had” hybrid“ written on them in the 2000’s/2010’s? Pretty sure they still do to be honest.

The steam deck can get fucky with 2 Bluetooth devices (forget 3) so unless you plan on a M or K you need a dock or dongle. I guess unless you plan on not charging either.

Comfort or not you can just do it. I’ve done it plenty. It’s a viable option

I am a huge proponent of the steam deck but there are a few things you’re kind of leaving out here

1. You would be surprised how many people actually don’t have a mouse on hand. But if they do, you do have to calculate that into the cost.

2. you need a dock or at least a cheap USB-C dongle unless the only thing you plan on hooking up to the steam deck is your mouse, which would be feasible but unusual.

3. The deck is getting a little longer in the tooth. I love it, I use it a ton, but it is definitely starting to show its age.

4. It can’t play Nintendo switch/switch 2 games natively, which many people who shit on Nintendo (I am one of those people don’t get me wrong) tend to forget is a pretty huge part of the appeal of Nintendo platforms.

5. if you plan on doing Couch multiplayer, the steam deck is really not a viable option compared to the switch unless you invest in a bunch of other stuff

Hell my kids play N64 on my modded Wii. They were playing Mario kart just a few hours ago lmao

Not worth the effort, to be honest

If you’re going to start spreading conspiracies about government bots astroturfing our small corner of the internet you’re gonna need to present at least some kind of evidence.

Over a decade old and kind of narrow, for instance:

A new study shows that heterosexual women might prefer masculine men – but only when they are ovulating.

but these are actually real sources and there’s an argument to be made, I can live with that.

I’m sorry, your source is a short 15 year old quarterly fluff university magazine piece written by an undergrad citing a study that isn’t even linked in the article?

based on science and reality

If you’re going to be that hand wavy and sure about it, then it’s only fair that I respond with “source?”

Hey I just want you to know I’ve been going through some really complicated identity stuff lately and your post was really therapeutic to read through. I think I underestimated how much toxic masculinity influences my confidence and comfort with my identity. Thank you for sharing this, I can’t wait for you to meet somebody who appreciates you for who you are. You are a man and I love the way you express yourself.

I would say most women is not a useful metric tbh. Most women they encounter in their social circles will likely find them attractive, however.

Hi another recent Linux adopter jumping in on a “fuck windows” thread.

Seriously, it’s not hard to shift. If you’re use to macOS, get Elementary. If you’re used to Windows, try Mint. Your machine will probably be fine for either. Setup/testing it out is trivial.
