That’s censorship.

Sweet little milkmaid or evil old hausfrau, though?

You mean like how Steam does with the Steam Deck?

Consoles these days are basically just PCs with limited development criteria. But a much much narrower library.

Are you equating a specific companies product with an overarching technology that allows generalized connections between people across the world?

TikTok aren’t even on the same scale… TikTok is part of the internet. TikTok is a very narrow usage of it. One based entirely on sucking people into addictive vapid content.

TikTok isn’t in any way left leaning. It still seeks to exploit people the same as any other business, they’re just better at it.

You have clearly not reached middle age if you don’t know the answer to that.

Being able to bring your console to someone else to play couch co-op with them makes developing that style much more appealing.

What are the pros and cons you’re considering, and how do they compare to the pros and cons of a Nintendo console?

Partial backwards compatibility, based on their asterisk, at least.

To be fair, it wasn’t especially popular with anyone.

Well, you have a choice in how you deal with it. You could just let it chain you down, or you could develop strategies to deal with it.

That doesn’t mean it’d be easy, or that you can remove it entirely… but it’s better than ignoring it and hoping it goes away.

I found this after a quick-ish google. Looks like occasionally people do, but they mostly get laughed at as the native cultures seemed to find it a sign of respect. And actually felt hurt when a helicopter dropped the naming convention.

The problem is you’re going about advocating moderation in such an extreme way. It’s kind of hypocritical. You’re not going to shout people into agreeing with you, at least not for any reasonable positions.

There is definitely a hyperfixation focused on Trump that he both adores and needs, and there definitely needs to be more focus on his cohorts (the ones that actually wield power, not pseudo influencers like Musk)… but ignoring him for four years won’t do anything better. And trying to call people out like you’re trying to do is not helping. It just helps further the divide between those on the left (or at least further left than the fence-sitters and “centrists”), which is exactly what Trump and his ilk desire most. Discord between the people who can hurt them most.

One might say it’s their defining trait

In the same way boomer hippies were “fighting” against their progenitors, sure.

Wearing flannel and complaining about the status quo does not make you a freedom fighter.

The top labels are reversed. I doubt a lesbian icon would be something boomers would appreciate.

Not to mention her capacity for change.

And a lot of unimportant shit that shouldn’t really be a factor gets brought up because some people just don’t like it.

Trans people in women’s bathrooms, or even something as simple as gay marriage, for example. Should we spend time and energy on that because it hurts peoples feelings?

Like I said, it’s not a matter of all one thing or all another. It’s about finding a middle ground.

The same can be said for a lot of people who complain about lots of things being offensive.

In reality you should seek a middle ground, don’t take everything so seriously that it ruins the joy in life… but also don’t treat everything (and everyone) as a joke.

Part of the fun of a forum is interacting with people as well, which OP didn’t do. Just shit in the forum and fucked off.
