Ctrl-Alt-Del

1. A combination of keys used before a login screen is presented on Windows NT/2000/XP. This is used because it is the only combination that cannot be sent over a network. It is also used to bring up the task manager and, when pressed twice will reset the computer. For this reason it is sometimes called the 'Three-Finger-Salute'.

2. A comic strip written by Tim Buckley relating to computer and console gaming. It can be found at cad-comic.com

ctrl-left

That branch of the left wing which wants to restrict people's behaviour and free speech. Often no longer concerned with economic issues or foreign policy. This is the group that always takes the bait and tries to oppose the alt-right directly, rather than using time tested tactics to defeat them. The ctrl-left is famous for alienating anybody who is not a core member with its judgmental shaming tactics and its hidden class bias against working class people.

If the Neo-Nazis marched and no one cared, they would give up and take up wood-working. If the Neo-Nazis march and a bunch of ctrl-left counter protesters take it as licence to break all the shop windows and embarrass themselves on live TV with their bad manners, moderate people are going to start feeling a little sympathetic to those poor Neo-Nazis.

The ctrl-left prevented Jordan Peterson from giving a lecture at my university.

Some say it's witchcraft, some say black magic, while other believe the Devil himself came up from the depths of Purgatory just to give this power over. Many don't even know eho holds the key and only people granted special permission can tap into this great power.

Yo max can I get ctrl H? Hell no
