My parents still have cable. The buttons are backlit, they turn on when you pick it up and turn off when you set it down. There's also a mic button you can hold down and talk to input text by voice instead of typing on a virtual keyboard with a dpad. Not rechargeable but two AAs last for a year so why bother with a battery that eventually fails and renders the remote useless?

Even basic remotes are pretty clever now

I guess my plan to hold out for the Pro to see if the regular console drops in price isn't going to work.

In the commotion nobody's brain would parse "that guy just threw coffee on a baby" because that's not something you immediately consider

Time to pick a random minority one can pass as, record the most stereotypical video ever, and then get an employment attorney on speed dial

Vegetables don't exist as a block I can cut slices of, fry, and put in a sandwich.

Well eggplant does but if I'm buying canned spam substitute I'm not in the mood for breading something.

Spam is just pork sausage in a rectangle.

Every platform needs a terrible meme that never goes away. Reddit picked a shoebox full of semen, we picked cat starvation.
