The second one not only has a campaign, it's one of, possibly the single best campaign to be included in a first person shooter, ever. Short, but extremely memorable.
I'm reading a lot of "you do" which is actually "your society should do" and which the average person has very little say in. I'm not going to be able to just march into congress and inform them that they are no longer allowed to deal with private businesses, no matter how much I may want to.
Build quality does matter though. Especially for a cable that will be plugged in and out frequently.
That was kind of my point with the gold plated cables though; the ads for them will act like they're better in some way and that you'll get ultra high speed super definition picture or whatever. But it's the same damn spec as the Amazon Basics cable.
And everyone who is tasked with fixing your constantly crashing shit doesn't like that, because it gives precisely zero actionable information with which to prevent future crashes. I may as well pull out my tarot deck to diagnose your problem. It's worse than useless, it's actively insulting.
Counterpoint, all it takes is one person to die in the car because the car disabled itself on them while trying to get to a hospital, and suddenly hungry lawyers are swooping in all over your entire company.
I imagine the manufacturer will have some excuse about "if it was an emergency they should have called an ambulance" and I also imagine that won't stand up to a stiff breeze in court.
Menu key serves a purpose when you need to access a context menu without a mouse to right click with.
Granted, I've needed that maybe a grand total of three times over the course of nearly three decades of computer use. But I don't know how you access that menu otherwise. It's a nice bit of redundancy from a company that doesn't often think of that.
And lots of those folks mentioned are just trying to do their job and mind their own business when some chud walks up and says, apropos of nothing, "what are ya, some kind of f*ggot?" and it just goes from there, typically poorly.
"I just do my job and don't talk about it" isn't the slam dunk you think it is because the people being abused and/or assaulted and/or legislated out of existence, are overwhelmingly also just trying to do their job and not talk about it. All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
The situations are clearly different because of the rabid faith of conservative followers, but that being said, it seems relatively easy enough to get on TV/media first and start spreading around "Republicans want to take your porn!" The situation could be explained pretty concisely within a 20 second TikTok or a shareable YouTube video.
Now don't get me wrong, if American political debate soils itself any further than it already has and fully becomes two-side mudslinging and nothing else, then I'm going to need to either leave the country or become radicalized. But it's becoming clear to me more and more these days that if the democrats want to throw their weight around they're going to need to lower their standards a bit. Instead of half hour appeals to judgment we need more 30-second dunks. Poli Sci students need to hear a detailed and nuanced discussion of a bill, but it's been readily proven again and again ad nauseum that the average person does not.
And I'm not advocating that they lie, only to use the framework of a lie in order to spread the message. A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth can put its shoes on, specifically because the instant something might maybe be relevant to something someone thinks exists, somebody is on Fox news spouting 30 second dunks about it. The instant we hear what's going on with the bill rider somebody should have been on TikTok, YouTube and X posting a 30 second dunk about how Republicans are abusing education bills to steal all porn from everyone, everywhere. Don't lie, but take strategies from their playbook. I want an account doing blow by blow daily updates on everything the R's have their grubby mitts in, in the same way that there are accounts doing blow by blow daily updates about exactly how many children they accuse Kamala Harris of having eaten. Except this one will have credible sources.
Point being, personally, I'm growing extremely jaded and tired of the way political discussion works in America. On one hand we have the Democrats making an effort to fully explain away and good faith debate (most of) their bills, with a handful of notable and upsetting exceptions. On the other hand we have a pit of screaming pigs that will debate nothing, will source nothing, will sneak last minute riders into bills they had nothing to do with, and will lie at the top of their lungs constantly and without regard to what they are lying about. The pigs in question have proven themselves either unwilling or incapable of rising to a level of proper political discussion expected from an elected official, and it's becoming clear that if the relevant populace isn't going to vote out (or in some cases, isn't going to be allowed to vote out) the representative, the only way to engage with them effectively in a political sense is to sink to their level. At which point we are all well and truly fucked and what gods remain in the world have abandoned us.
