    Syntaxvgm got a reaction from Jito463 in House passes bill to save Net Neutrality, idiots on Reddit celebrate too early- McConnell to block it from Senate floor as he said before vote   
    Not to mention the it was passed as a fine, and CHANGED by the supreme court to be a tax to make it legal. Because that's their job, to write the law. Kennedy was the deciding vote really, and he was considered on the conservative side. The entire process, from inception to supreme court, was a disgrace to our country and the way in which we make laws.

    Senate Majority Leader. He makes the schedule for the senate, he steers the party vote, whips keep party in line, defecting can lead to punishment like loss of roles in committees. The majority leader of either party is who you want to pay off if you need something done or blocked.

    You may have noticed a ton of posts about this on reddit already




    The "Save the Internet" Bill passed the house 232 to 190, with one Republican voting in favor, so bipartisan support is technically not a lie, just a strong mischaracterization of the truth written by someone completely bankrupt of journalistic integrity. But not a lie, technically.

    We did it Reddit!

    The stupidity of this premature celebration is compounded by the fact that Turtle-American Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell already announced it won't even make it to the Senate floor yesterday before the vote had even happened in the house.

    So here we are, claiming victory in an effort that was just symbolic, passing legislation that won't even be brought up for debate or a vote.

    Syntaxvgm got a reaction from Gealach in Can I use a high wattage laptop charger on my Nintendo Switch?   
    Shouldn't do anything bad, but the switch USBc implementation is not to standard, and every major manufacturer gets it's wrong in different ways. On my mac, for example, power in and out on the same port means a chance of a short. So who knows. 
     
    Looking here, there's a list of macbook chargers 
    https://switchchargers.com/faq/
    So that might give a hint. 
     
    I know for docks, there's issues with third party dicks and chargers causing bricking, so be careful.

    Syntaxvgm reacted to SpaceGhostC2C in Scam or not?   
    Because this way his review will come from a "verified purchase". It's a way to present reviews from free promotional products (potential conflict of interest) as an independent, verified customer review.
