Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

ASML shouldn't have focused on Legos* in the first place. They clearly should have been making ASMR videos. ASML ASMR. It's just so obvious.
^*Bite^ ^me,^ ^they're^ ^Legos.^
I don't bite clowns. It's Lego.
How many bottles of Kragl do you own, President Business?
As a LEGO System bricks enjoyer, I also call them legos. When I need to blow my nose and the box is too far away, I ask someone to pass the kleenexes. If I have a headache, I ask for some asprins. I still watch movies on videotapes, and I own a few thermoses. I can't wait to google some more genericized trademarks on Duck Duck Go after I finish typing this.
-I pick up a pail of water from the river- "Look at all the rivers I have!"
-I pick up three intel CPUs- "I have several Intels."
-I hold up a radio- "This bad boy can play so many Mariah Careys!"
-I open a box of chicken fingers- "Do you want some chickens?"
-A single bolt falls out of my pocket- "Oops, I dropped a car! Where did that come from?"
-I pull out my phone and look up where that type of bolt is used- "Perhaps the internets can tell me where this goes. Maybe if I read some reddits or watch some youtubes I'll know.
-After looking a while, I put away my phone- "It doesn't look like an engine, so it can't be that important. I'm just going to go home and play nintendos. I hope I don't slip on the snows!"
^Bite^ ^my^ ^asses,^ ^LEGO^ ^is^ ^a^ ^system.^
I don't care if it's a system. I grew up in the 1980s. If you have more than one, it's Legos and the little people are Lego Men. Even the women. They're Lady Lego Men.
Also, they are all supposed to have blank smiley faces. It all went downhill when they stopped having blank smiley faces.
We now have multiple lemmies discussing this. How many IKEAs do you have in your house?
How many Taco Bells have you eaten in the last month? I don't care if it's a restaurant, if you have more than one it's Taco Bells.
Mostly agrees on the smilies though. Basic identifying features like masks or glasses can work, but expressions and likenesses to movies are harbingers of dooms. Just give me a guy, a few wheels, a few doors, and a few hundred bricks, slopes, and plates and I'll be happys. I don't need all the unique bits that only fit one way.
Dude, why do you care? It's a giant corporation that only exists for you to shovel money at it. The whole 'making kids happy' concept ended when they started selling stuff for hundreds of dollars.
They don't care about you, so maybe don't care so much about them.
It's not a problem unique to a dutch toy company, but that instance is by far the most common. Feel free to shit on companies as much as you want, but please don't trample the English language as you do, it's broken enough as it is.
One brick is one lego. More than one brick is multiple legos. I'm not going to call them LEGO™® Construction Tools or whatever the hell they expect me to call them now.
Call them lego, just like you call fish fillets "fish" and not "fishes", or how you go to the mall despite there being multiple stores.
Or I’ll call them whatever I want and fuck corporations.
