May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.

Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:

* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic
"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

The world's strongest line of laptops. The latest models feature switchable graphics. Ranging from the ultraporable X200 series to the monstrous W700, they're commonly used by businessmen but great for those who need a durable laptop.
My thinkpad got stepped on, dropped on concrete and ran over by a car and it still works. Try that with your crappy dell inspiron.

The single best model of laptop form factor machines, now produced by Lenovo. Formerly produced by IBM. They have been known to last years and survive serious abuse that would kill a Dell or Apple. Recommended with a nice big battery and a copy of Fedora Linux 10. Computers for real geeks.
Eric: I say, I quite fancy this ThinkPad over the Toshiba that I owned last. Let's see Apple try to match this keyboard!

Luke: Or the built in biometrics, light, magnesium alloy skeleton, anti-flex screen, innovative pointing devices, durability, or hardware support!

The world's biggest memetops, often shilled on imageboards such as 4chan. They are shilled as being indestructible, cheap, and reliable - which is not wrong, however their price is rising because of the meme (thank asshats such as Luke Smith for bringing them to the mainstream). The ones that are usually suggested are the X200, X60, T60, T420, T410, T61, X61, X220, X201, and everything else before Lenovo bought the brand. Libreboot, Coreboot, and 1vyrain are also major reasons to buy older ThinkPads.
Luke Smith: Oh, have you heard of ThinkPads? They are the best computers and very cheap!
Consumer: No, I haven't! Let me look in to them
- 5 months later -
Consumer: How do I have 4 ThinkPads now, I don't even use them.

Looking at it from the lower end of ThinkPads, the most gigantic shit excuse for a computer you can currently find on the 1st world market. The computer will blue screen on you eventually, structurally this thing is as reliable as a 2,000 foot cardboard tower. the main cause of my blue screen was a cracked hard drive when i dropped it 4 feet because of the searing pain you get after it powers up, however, on a positive side, if you lay down with it on you will become immune to BSDM wax torture. Also, think you can listen to music? think again, the sound system has such issue buffering the music it will freeze and become so choppy you can't even stand it. I would STRONGLY recommend spending your money on either a higher end ThinkPad or switching over to another brand.
I wrote this rant on my ThinkPad, the browser stopped responding 10 times while i was writting it, and odds are will crash in a few seconds if i dont speed up writing this.
