whatever eMachines™ PC you can buy at the time of the upgrade for whatever you paid for your original machine

“All our current PC’s are priced higher than your was, eat shit”

Pretty much what you said, but that’s from memory. The site and the review is long gone now.

Is his ass rent controlled?

don’t be evil.

That was the big tell.

Technically correct (the best kind of correct.)

I only encountered it in the 2010’s and had naïvely assumed it was from around that time.

Me and my best friend at college (high school for y’all) were basically Harold and George from Captain Underpants but in the 20th Century.

This is exactly how it went, no character development but plenty of (quite progressive at the time) characterisation. And violence, looooots of violence.

A very early Harry Potter game, 2001. Surprise, it was EA.

Guac is a dip, for dipping things in. Doesn’t belong in a sandwich.

Putting the components of guac in a sandwich? Delicious.

Yep.

We call that a BLAT here, but that? That’s a waaaay better name.

Been there too. I think it was Warner Brothers (at the time) that had a hissy fit about a review of a game. They didn’t like the review: they wanted advertising rather than editorial. We told them to talk to the sales department.

It’s what I did for my OpnSense fire wall router.

Most PC’s will idle at (relatively) very low power.

Not getting rid of it, despite not being required to get rid of it, is … a choice.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Ah, right.

I was also stuck on a definition of “white washing” as the erasure of ‘non-white’ characters from film/literature.

OotL: what’s Rowling’s black mold?

What was it that you considered “white washing” it? I did (now that I check) misquote it “likeness” rather than “image”, but can’t see how that’s white washing it.
