Could literally be talking about billions of people from a period spanning thousands of years.

This is the closest one I could find because it has kids and mentions a black box. There were a ton though. https://youtu.be/dO7cvpVPv2A

The one that stuck out was a career day thing and one kid was bragging about his dad’s “black box” that gets free cable! Wow! And the one of the other parents was a police officer! Oh no! 😱

If you just look up “cable theft commercial” in YouTube you’ll find a lot. Some are more humorous. For example, this one encourages reporting people who steal cable. https://youtu.be/y3DmyJ9dYrk Specifically that, minor spoiler, are jerks!

You reminded me of the massive amount of “Dad gets free cable with his little black box” commercials as a kid.

I’ve seen some microwaves that say sensor but then ask how much popcorn you’re putting in.

You’ve (perhaps unintentionally) marked you account as a bot in the settings. If people have the option to not show bots enabled they won’t see you.

“I successfully posted the error resource.”

Why would someone not act 100% rationally 100% of the time?

Okay is one of the coolest words ever. It started sort of as a “meme” speak thing around 1900 (I don’t remember exactly, may have been older). They would take phrases then spell them differently then abbreviate the misspelling. So okay the word was originally OK the acronym for “oll korrect” which was “all correct.”

A similar thing would be like saying “acey” for “AC” for “all correct”. I’ve thought about trying to make it a thing with my friends but it feels a little too abstract.

It depends on the context and the person for me.

Go ask the actual person who said it was a deal breaker for them, I can’t explain it more simply than I have.

Gee, I wonder if Aryansoldier1488 knows if 1488 is a dog whistle for Nazis? I’d hate for Aryansoldier to get caught up in this. It was probably a random number.

The riddler is smart and seems like the type to enjoy word play. He wouldn’t suspect “Brucein’” to be a, well, whatever you call a verbal typo. Like a speech impediment but when you randomly say something wrong. Especially from someone like Batman.

Yes, which is good, but the lack of federation is a deal-breaker.

The federation itself is a deal breaker

Why would an optional feature be a deal breaker?

Because the person they’re responding to said the lack of the optional feature was a deal breaker for them on a different piece of software.

For me it was seeing people say that the character mechanics of Total War: Three Kingdoms were like a watered down version of CK. I hadn’t heard of it before. CK2 was the latest at the time and the UI in it is awful. Luckily CK3 came out soon.

CK3 is really cool. It’s completely spoiled me on games like Civilization now. Being able to play as a person instead of some abstract concept of your empire is so fascinating to me. Things like worrying about how your child’s holdings will look once you die based on succession is fun.

I don’t see any new posts since 7 months ago. (Unless my instance stopped federating.)

You can’t say something like that without elaborating! How did it change you?

I think Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was amazing. The only gripe I have is that the Switch just can’t handle it very well.

It’s hard to answer this because if you’d asked me 5 years ago my answer would be different (not just because TotK hadn’t released) because my tastes change.

I used to copy code into nano over ssh. Then I randomly tried pasting the server address in my file browser and it connected over SFTP. This was ages ago. I was using Crunchbang Linux, maybe around 2011 or so.

The irony being that scene had a GUI and ed is, well…
