What I love is that this guy argued for a week that he wasn’t selling anything. Like your quip personally offended him so badly he lost command of the English language.
Today, you get to learn that the phrase “selling” here means “recommending”.
It has nothing to do with literal transaction of goods or services for money. Instead, it is based on the concept of “salesmanship”, or convincing someone of the value of something - be it an idea or product. Recommending something is a method of selling it.
They are literally your words. You put your words in your mouth. What the fuck is wrong with you?
Recommending can be a synonym for selling, but it isn’t in this case. I do recommend it, but I do not care what you do: I’m not selling.
It is in this case. It is in every case. You were selling it. You were not putting a product on the market for exchange, but you were selling the idea of ownership.
There is no “first impression”, there is what you were doing.
The issue here is just your limited English vocabulary, and your own anger at your ignorance.
It’s not a big deal. You didn’t understand something, and you had it explained to you. It’s over. Stop trying to argue, learn something new, put on your big boy pants and move on.
I mean seriously, we can all read your first comment. Did you forget what you wrote?
This isn’t about me. I don’t buy laptops in general as they’re overpriced garbage. This is about how companies treat consumers and how it’s easy for someone to buy a laptop they think is good when it’s not.
Yeah what the fuck? Just buy a 4080, just open your laptop and fuck around with a new ssd, so worth it to play the new game that is actually the ladt three games.
External SSDs are more than fast enough for any game as long as there’s not a bus or enclosure bottleneck, and they’re portable. You don’t even need USB 4 or Thunderbolt to get GB/s throughput with an NVMe drive.
I can definitely recommend it tho! And it’s more expensive than an SSD than can hold it and 40 other games
edit: (to clarify) ssd’s are cheap af. If you can buy a game for 80 euros, you can buy an SSD for 15 (or more)
That’s not how you sell it to people. You’re making it sound overpriced.

Hi! Welcome to English 101.

Fine, I’m not recommending anything. Perhaps someone else noticed this and commented "that’s not how you sell…
Also
🤣😂🤣
What a fucking idiot! 😂🤣😂🤡
You literally said you “definitely recommend” it. Are you drunk?
English lesson 2: you were not being told you shouldn’t recommend it.
You were being made fun of for HOW you were attempting to recommend it.

Alright, no need to put words in my mouth, you insisted on calling it recommending.
Recommending can be a synonym for selling, but it isn’t in this case. I do recommend it, but I do not care what you do: I’m not selling.
A word applicable here: ‘nuance’. Not everything is just as your first impression tells you
Yeah. You did. Not my words. Your words.
Still not selling tho
I didn’t put words in your mouth.

slow down Chief, you are getting too invested here
Are you not from the internets???
😂🤣 This is still some funny shit. “i’M nOt SeLLIng aNytHIng”, he said entirely seriously! 🤣😂
Problem comes when Anon has a laptop and doesn’t want external drives
ssd’s go inside a laptop too
Most laptops only have a single slot.
You want people to upgrade their SSD and reinstall their OS just to play a game?
They could just … not play that game.
Not anymore really. SSDs are mostly soldered in nowadays.
Surely that’s just some apple bullshit. Asshats always seem to follow them but surely that’s not becoming a norm… Right?
Smaller laptops = less customisability.
Plenty of consumer laptops sold within the last 5 years have soldered in SSDs. Apple does it because it makes for great market segmentation.
If you buy garbage it is, you are capable of doing a google search before you buy right?
This isn’t about me. I don’t buy laptops in general as they’re overpriced garbage. This is about how companies treat consumers and how it’s easy for someone to buy a laptop they think is good when it’s not.
All companies sell their product as if it’s the best, people who don’t bother googling before know what they’re risking
All companies, and all products?
Have you never been to a Dollar Store? 😂🤡
Actually no, we don’t have those here
That’s when you learn that
a) you can upgrade laptops with a larger SSD and
b) that it’s a bad idea to buy one that has the SSD soldered on…
Orrrrr just don’t buy games that routinely require you to have 250gb of space dedicated to them.
Yeah what the fuck? Just buy a 4080, just open your laptop and fuck around with a new ssd, so worth it to play the new game that is actually the ladt three games.
