1) What? This doesn’t even make sense relative to my comment. I clearly qualified the scenario in which it is required.

2) Irrelevant to my point.

3) Opinion noted. I just find it amusing that the inverse was almost universally considered true in tablets until Nintendo put their name on one. Relatively soft plastic…

I think there is a problem with any product that requires an aftermarket accessory (screen protector, or sock for the dock) to prevent trivial damage from totally normal use of a major official accessories (like insertion and removal from a dock marketed as a central feature of the device).

You can, of course, think…

That is certainly the ideal way to design a product... require aftermarket accessories to prevent damage from basic official accessories.

Holy moly... Straw Hat said it best,

Holy moly... Straw Hat said it best,

What?

...and yet... relatively soft plastic screens are almost universally disparaged in every other handheld device (phone, tablet).

My point is simply that there is a trade-off... with a small secondary point that as soon as Nintendo put their name on a tablet with a plastic screen it became a desirable trait rather than…

So do very many phones with cracked or even shattered screens.

I’m simply pointing out that it’s durability comes at a cost... a trade-off between hardness and brittleness. The same quality this article celebrates in the Switch is viewed as garbage in cell phones... the reasonably capable $50 burner smart phones at the…

My point. It’s a trade-off.

The quality being celebrated in the Switch here is almost universally considered a flaw in cell phones and tablets.

You’re assuming every switch and base is exactly like yours.

Assumption makes an ass out of you and umption.

You realize, of course, someone always pops up to say something like this in every case.

These two facts need not be mutually exclusive.

Is this the same Switch that can get nasty scratches on the face simply from being inserted and removed from the official docking station?

I always thought the traditional vampire “hypnosis powers” would be enough to turn anyone away that is at all concerned about the concept of consent.

That largely depends on how you choose to define “powerful”. I think it’s safe to say that, if you insist on drawing comparisons to “Tsarist Russia”, it would be absurd to claim the middle class is “powerful” because they are in the middle class. If what you are really trying to do is define power in terms of money…

So I don’t know where you want me to go from there, we have a different perspective on the post that can only be clarified by the person who wrote it.

I’m not sure what any of that has to do with the price of butter. Was this supposed to be directed at me?

Okay well, I can’t change your perspective on that, I can just tell you that it’s not the intention, nor should you feel attacked. Again nor is it even about white people or us. You’re reading this comment with no empathy, and no feeling, or perspective and just choosing to analyse it, and looking no further.

Also keep in mind “The king” also represents his men, in the extended version of your analogy there. The will of the king, and those who enforce it, as a whole.
