4. Not everyone is a goddamned literal Nazi.

Is Disney in the wrong here? You betcha. Are they a shit media conglomerate? Oh, boy, yeah. Are they anywhere close to what’s depicted here? Not even remotely.

Goddamn, it’s like people around here call everything and everyone they don’t like a Nazi. Starting to not even sound like a word anymore.

Edit: To clarify: There are enough actual Nazis in the world as it is. Stop inventing new ones.

Jesus Christ, Godwin’s Law would like to have a word.

Lol, I felt like a dick replying that, but I figured someone would go to lemvotes, see i downvoted it and assume i’m maga or something. Nope, totally agree with it, just tired of seeing politics in the places I go to avoid politics lol

Downvoted not because I disagree but because I’m tired of political crap in non-political crap communities.

These are the shitposts I live for. Not the shit that should be in the political memes community. Thank you!

I mean, I wouldn’t say “don’t celebrate it” but just because someone else is a piece of shit isn’t a blank check for you* to be a piece of shit.

*Collective “you”

That’s like asking if every racist joke should be applied to everyone of that race. That’s kind of how stereotype-based “humor” works.

Norf F.C or “Goalposting” is the nickname given to a series of drawings and illustrations originating from 4chan’s /pol/ board satirizing Northern English

Yes, 4chan’s /pol/ board is certainly a mighty fine moral compass you’re referencing there. /s

Not saying any of it isn’t accurate for a portion of the population. But it doesn’t apply to everyone (we’re not a monoculture / planet of hats), and to paint 347,628,682 people with a mural of ugly stereotypes is, well, kinda racist / xenophobic.

For regular debit/POS transactions, yeah, I think that’s universal. For ATMs, though, I think it depends on the ATM software, right?
Is it only your bank’s branded ATMs that do that?

My credit union doesn’t operate ATMs and just reimburses the fees, so I use any random ATM when I need to do something other than a deposit. Some let me do multiple transactions, some don’t. Some don’t even let me transfer funds, but those are usually the dinky little machines you find in “convenience” locations.

I really don’t that that gives it a pass, TBH.

How is this not racist/xenophobic? (yeah, I know “American” isn’t a race). You make this kind of comic for any other country, and a rational person would be like “yeah, that’s…pretty racist.”

Most of the last mile fiber network is passive (doesn’t require active electronics to pass the signal like DOCSIS/cable internet or ADSL).

Cable and DSL typically have the equivalent of UPSs in their neighborhood nodes, but they often go unmaintained.

That might be it. I was guessing since it’s not one I subscribe to.

c/IHadAStroke ?

No. I’m not, and I don’t think anyone in the comments that I’ve read are saying that either. Geesh!

Stuff ages out. Stuff breaks. Old stuff gets relegated to a drawer or re-purposed. The older stuff doesn’t necessarily get thrown away, but it’s also not something I carry around daily, either.

All that (most?) people here are saying is that when you do buy something new, there’s an expectation that it use the current standard.

Yeah, that’s annoying for sure. I just bought a handful of cables of known specs that “do it all” and it’s been pretty smooth sailing.

They’re all 3ft or 6ft, 100 watt e-marked, and video capable The only one that’s not is my 10ft one - it’s “only” 100 watt rated but doesn’t do video and is limited to USB 2.0 speeds. I only use that one as a power cord for my laptop, though, and it’s bright red so it’s not like I’m gonna mistake it for anything else.

So far, I haven’t had a need to upgrade anything to the new 240 W spec since I rarely use more than 65W.

I"m not so much against it (it was good enough in its time). I’ve just come to appreciate the mostly “universal” aspect of USB-C and being able to grab any cable from my bag without looking or digging and have it be the correct cable (all my cables are 100W and video capable, so no matter my need, it will be the right cable).

In a lot of ways, I now see anything with less than USB-C as being like the old, oddly-sized barrel jack connectors. Yeah, it works. Yeah, it’s fine. But it’s also now an oddball cable I have to carry around.

I’m old and resist the future in a lot of ways, but USB-C isn’t one of them lol.

Same. I went all-in on USB-C about 3 years ago. My house is still cluttered with cables, but at least I can grab any one of them and charge any device.
