There’s also that things have shrunk enough and that takes more precision and specialized tools to repair. And there’s also that some people, myself included, have absolutely no business messing around with capacitors and the like. It is just not everyone’s skillset, and that’s okay, we live with other people who cover what our personal skills don’t, and it comes with very lethal consequences if messed up. Which is also another reason that companies don’t like people tinkering with the insides of things; electricity does not care who you are and if not respected it can and will kill you, start a fire, etc. It’s one of the reasons companies don’t like people messing with the insides of electronics; bad PR and lawsuits if someone gets hurt.

I don’t get why they don’t just have like, install cards with cheaper but slower storage on them for smaller game devs or extra large games that require installation to the system first before it can run. Seems like the in-between of key cards and full speed game cards which still might be faster than downloads and also helps game preservation by having the game actually on the card. Kind of like CD ROM or floppy disc games on PC.

As someone disabled, I have a bad feeling about how they’ll decide which groups of people get the placebo vaccine…

And on the other hand, when you shout objection and the normal music keeps playing…

Why didn’t he use the tow truck?

Just because something is out of my control doesn’t mean I’m not responsible for or guilty of it, though.

The problem with individual user blocks is that if someone submits enough of the links in a community, blocking them means blocking most stories and discussions so you can’t really read or participate in the community without leaving them unblocked.
