guess I'll just play with my nuts

It’s for their safety. At that age the might build a sentient robot that votes for Trump who will then take away their social security. Thank you Lego, for responsible toy stewartship.

+1 for the double entendre title 😄

Thanks, I was proud of that.

As well you should be 😄🤜

Pardon my ignorance - what’s ‘play with my nuts’ a reference to for Carter, aside from his gonads?

They made him put his family peanut farm in a blind trust so that he couldn’t benefit it during his time in office.

He was a peanut farmer.

Do YOU want to tell Jimmy Carter what he can and can’t play with?

I didn’t think so.

What’s he gonna do? Beat me up?

This is how you get Isekai’s to the peanut farmer world.

“I Antagonized Jimmy Carter Over the Internet And Now I’m In Another World But I’m a Peanut That Farms and Also There’s A Demon King?!?!?!?!?!”

Totally underrated series that really picks up in Season 4.

He’s still got the nuclear codes.

I find “LEGOs” very upsetting.

Lego is not an acronym. It does not usually get all-caps in prose, though the all-caps logotype is sometimes imitated in text.

Lego is a proper name, and is also used as a collective noun. It does not get pluralized.

“You can’t play with Lego anymore.”

fuck that. Lego is a company and I don’t need it to tell me how I can and cannot use their name. if they don’t like it they can suck my dick.

I really don’t understand why there are so many people passionate about how to “properly” use The Trademark™ in The Way that was Sanctioned by The Corporation®

just play with your Legos and get over it

I assume the people are passionate about grammar, and their corrections have nothing to do with respecting trademarks.

that’s even worse! especially because the vast majority of self proclaimed “grammar nazis” (really weird fucking title, guys) don’t know shit about linguistics as a science

Legos is grammatically correct.

I really don’t understand why there are so many people passionate about how to “properly” use The Trademark™ in The Way that was Sanctioned by The Corporation®

Actually, they are advocating against using it how the Lego company does. The Lego company uses LEGO in all caps.

I’m pretty sure the reason Lego isn’t supposed to be used is because they don’t want the trademark to be genericized. the all caps thing is stylization, I doubt they give a shit if you type it all caps or not.

Brought to you by the folks behind “Get Off That Nintendo and Go Outside” while you were PC gaming. Lol :p

LEGO is too an acronym. it stands for Leg Godt, Danish for “play well”

That’s…not an acronym. That’d just be LG.

It’s actually an angry shout

Lego deez nuts ha gottem

Hmm. Sorry bout that. What were we talking about?

Language is flexible. Deal with it.

You called down the ire of practitioners of the dark arts known as prescriptivism.

In my word, you put Lego Men in your Lego creations. No LEGOs, no minifigs [the Lego Men that are female are Lady Lego Men], and no sets.

The whole ‘you make the rules’ aspect of the toy has been lost in a dozen licensing agreements.

Sorry Jimmy, it’s Mega only for you now

Probably not, cause they’ll make some decent sets and then send then send them to a random Walmart in bumfuck Idaho and nowhere else, unless you want to pay 4x the price on Amazon.

Honestly I think Mattel don’t want to be in the brick business sometimes.
