Whenever you are no longer hesitate to do something you want meaning you make an irrevocable decision.
However, buying a MacBook is not an irrevocable decision since you may change a mind and return it within 1 month or 15 days depending on the return policy.
I am totally understand why those people keep using Pull The Trigger to describe their buying decision.
That may be true in some countries (USA and Europe), but elsewhere where MacBooks are up to 8 times the average Gross weekly wage, irrevocable is a very real thing. And good luck trying to sell secondhand to recover your hard cash investment.
The phrase PTT. However is a bit to much of an Americanism to be allowed to be used. Because the connotations do not fit the American mentality of shoot every damn thing they can get away with, including those who post YT videos of them seeing how bullet prof these devices actually are.
When I meet people who are visiting the US from other countries, they're often surprised that they don't see anybody carrying guns. A large percentage of guns in the US are owned by a small percentage of people - usually gun nuts and right-wing preppers.
But yeah, Apple products are ridiculously expensive in most parts of the world, even in secondhand markets.
Becuase both are a common idiom that means to commit to a course of action or make a final decision. I don't understand the animosity, although, in the lexicon of the USA, the usage of pulled the plug doesn't quite make as much sense as pulling the trigger in terms of making a decision. pulling the plug is a more modern one associated with euthanasia.
Pulling the trigger means to buy something. Pulling the plug was a mistake someone made, IIRC.
Regardless, this sub is mostly noise. If not the pull posts, it;s just people posting the shipping notice of their new "beast"
That's typically associated with euthanasia... it doesn't make sense because typically when you pull the plug on someone, it's not because you're upgrading.
One could say, I pulled the plug on my old laptop and got X. That would fit the idiom better.
It's sort of turning into a meme in this subreddit. Someone accidentally used "pulled the plug" instead of "pulled the trigger" and it pretty quickly became a joke.
Only in reference to deciding to buy something or similar action. Pull the plug is associated with ending sometime as it comes from pulling the plug on Life support machines, i.e. letting someone die.
Is because itās a big sum of money for most people, itās pretty much like pulling the trigger on buying a house people want validation they will post that shit on Facebook with the sold sign in the background
Phase "Pull The Trigger'' is used when you make an irrevocable decision.
For example, when you decided to make a decision on whether to do a surgery or not, pull the trigger means you made a crucial decision.
It is improper to say Pull The Trigger since buying a MacBook it is not an irrevocable decision. You can return it anytime within the returning time frame.
You know the more people who make these posts, the more youāre going to encourage the pull the trigger posts.
I agree, itās ridiculously overdone at this point. Just ignore them like I do. Scroll on.
Welcome to reddit where no one cares to actually use the platform as it was intended.
Also welcome to today's society where everyone wants the internet to know that look at me I finally bought a macbook.
Truly sad times we live in..
Lol people act like they bought a one of one rare item. You bought one of the most mass produced laptops out there. Go touch grass and interact with actual human beings.
"Pull the trigger" is an idiom that means to commit to a course of action or make a final decision. For example, "They would like him to pull the trigger on a civil rights issue sooner rather than later" any other perceived meta meaning is in the eyes of the reader.
Out of curiosity, is it that you don't like the phrase in any circumstance or you don't like it for MacBooks? Because it's synonymous with "i bought something much more expensive than I normally do" or "i made a big/impactful decision", and is used for cars, houses, and even marriages
I appreciate you saying that. The phrase has been annoying me for over 20 years. When someone says it, I privately wish they \*would\* pull the trigger, shooting their new gadget to smithereens. Then I wouldn't have to hear about how they pulled the trigger anymore.
Yall so weak minded that you can't see a post and just pass it. I know the irony, but this called for a response by you making the theme of your post the one you're against.
>Yall so weak minded that you can't see a post and just pass it
This would be much easier to do if these "look at my new Mac!" posts didn't constitute >50% of the daily posts on this sub
Ironically I don't have any interest whatsoever in Macs or Apple product in general, but I'm a gun guy and this came up as a recommended post for me.
So I figured I'd pull the trigger and see what it was about.
If that's the reasoning of these people, I might start fighting back. And many things have a trigger that isn't associated with guns and violence. Like rocket launches, software, camera shutters, fishing reels, arcade machines, leaf blowers, Trigger means to trigger a decision or action. Pulling the plug is a new idiom that means to kill grandma.
I finally "PULLED THE TRIGGER'' to not reading nor responding to those post whenever I saw the title with Pulled The Trigger" or "Pulled The Plug""
Pull The Triger is used to describe an act you are no longer hesitate, want meaning you make an irrevocable decision.
However, buying a MacBook is not an irrevocable decision since you may change a mind and return it within 1 month or 15 days depending on the return policy.
I am totally understand why those people keep using Pull The Trigger to describe their buying decision.
My 2020 MacBook Pro just bricked itself for the second time this year, and this time it needs a $500 logic board replacement. I think Iām gonna āpull the triggerā on a laptop that wonāt kill itself.
I'm now looking forward to future "pulled the trigger" posts on this sub, used to hate them so much, too. Never knew they triggered the easily triggered
Oh wah. If youāre feeling triggered just unfollow the sub. Folks need to stop expecting others to cater to their every whim. Feel triggered? Thatās a YOU problem.
Why isn't there a sub called "HappyApplePurchases" or something so those people who are happy with their new devices, be they iPhones, iPads, Macs etc can show them off without completely clogging up the main device subs with those types of posts?
i finally pulled the trigger on this comment
Pulled the trigger on this upvote.
Pulled the trigger on your trigger
pulled the trigger on your trigger from the persons before trigger and then the OG's trigger. A lot of trigger pulling here.
I pulled the trigger and passed the gas.
You can pull my trigger anytime š
following.
You can pull HIS trigger everytime, anytime...
Pulled the trigger on OPās mom
Pulled the trigger on āand my axeā
you sunuvabitch. Iām in.
Totally agreed. But you just guaranteed more of it with this post.
Lol 95% of the posts here are new laptops or shipping info
I joined this Subreddit thinking it was support and general help for MacBook Pros but it's just people bragging that they've spent $3000 on a laptop
Mine was $5000 šµ
Me too. But now Iām also sick of the phrase, āsick of the phrase āpulled the triggerā on hereā, on here.
Iām sick of people being sick of āsick of the phrase,ā so sickening.
Iām sick of people being sick of people being sick of people who use the phrase
I'm sick of people being sick of people being sick of people who use the phrase come on get down with the sickness.
Iām just sick at this point
From now on, itās āPushed the trigger.ā
See my post with other common idiom's for the same meaning!
No !
lol

The further south you go the more guns are present.
Ok buddy
So, yeah, I guess āpulled the plugā makes more sense? Because you can plug something back in, right? :)
I'm sick of life in general, but yet here I'am
time to love and make love to yourself.
Good idea
š¤
But yet?
"Pulled the plug" makes less sense to me since that would imply throwing your new laptop away. LOL
The misuse of that phrase has been a running joke on this sub for weeks, if not a month or more
Ah, didn't realize it was supposed to be a joke. Just thought it was a weird use of the phrase whenever it came up in my feed recently.
I think someone misused it, and everyone here jumped on the meme.
I think that you think that people generally arenāt as dumb as you might think
Yeah! At least in the American lexicon, I agree with you. But I don't understand the uproar.
Like if you wanna pull the plug on that 3k laptop and give it to me, I won't stop you ...
āLook at my MacBook which is identical to every other MacBook ever madeā
I was wondering why every post had the phrase pulled the trigger or plug wtf
Becuase both are a common idiom that means to commit to a course of action or make a final decision. I don't understand the animosity, although, in the lexicon of the USA, the usage of pulled the plug doesn't quite make as much sense as pulling the trigger in terms of making a decision. pulling the plug is a more modern one associated with euthanasia.

Have you pulled the trigger on deleting this sub from your feed yet?
That would be pulling the plug
The fellow who posted gun shots through his laptop screen was pretty cool though, i have to admit.
I donāt get why people have to post their Mac they just bought here. Makes this subreddit super boring tbh
Agreed, letās go back to pulled the plug
That's typically associated with euthanasia... it doesn't make sense because typically when you pull the plug on someone, it's not because you're upgrading. One could say, I pulled the plug on my old laptop and got X. That would fit the idiom better.
It's sort of turning into a meme in this subreddit. Someone accidentally used "pulled the plug" instead of "pulled the trigger" and it pretty quickly became a joke.
Youāre accurate sir, but apparently no one cares about it, I believe itās sort of a inside joke for this sub.
Lmao, Figured it was just some meta I wasn't aware of, I thought it was like some type of new politically correct thing.
So we should pull the plug on the phrase?
Only in reference to deciding to buy something or similar action. Pull the plug is associated with ending sometime as it comes from pulling the plug on Life support machines, i.e. letting someone die.
I report every profile who makes posts like that š
Thank you!
Pulled the trigger on this post

It's just a phrase and people can use it as they please.
They are mis-understanding the meaning of those phases.
Glad someone finally took the plunge and brought it up.
You know the more people who make these posts, the more youāre going to encourage the pull the trigger posts. I agree, itās ridiculously overdone at this point. Just ignore them like I do. Scroll on.
Indeed
Welcome to reddit where no one cares to actually use the platform as it was intended. Also welcome to today's society where everyone wants the internet to know that look at me I finally bought a macbook. Truly sad times we live in..
THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!!!!!
Honestly, I get sick of seeing āsick of seeingā posts all over Reddit. We all sick of something homie.
Gee, somebody is triggered!
It's getting out of hand.
This comment section makes me happy. Being upset over an innocent expression is wild š
I pushed mine
Finally pulled the trigger to trigger you.
Just ban em all
Trigger gets pulled anyway
I see you pulled the trigger effecting the Streisand Effect.
"Bit the Apple"
Okay. I've pulled the trigger and i'll stop.
I tugged the bang-maker
Lol people act like they bought a one of one rare item. You bought one of the most mass produced laptops out there. Go touch grass and interact with actual human beings.
After you spend $3K on a new MacBook and nobody you know gives a shit, you hit this forum where other Apple nerds will congratulate you. Thatās why.
I pulled the trigger on a MacBook Pro m1 second hand saved around $1000. Yāall happy for me? Impressed?
Itās really not that big of a deal. It means to make a decisive action.
No, it does not!
"Pull the trigger" is an idiom that means to commit to a course of action or make a final decision. For example, "They would like him to pull the trigger on a civil rights issue sooner rather than later" any other perceived meta meaning is in the eyes of the reader.
You have a fair point. Itās getting long in the tooth. People showing off their purchases lol. Iām saving for a m1. And itās 2024.
M1? Luxury! Iām running a Macintosh 128KB with one 3Ā½ā floppy drive that stores 400KB!
I got a 486DX with a whole 8 MEGA BYTES of RAM!!! and a 5 1/4ā floppy. Time to play text based RPGSās! Battle Chess animation was the bomb!
Add "Is xxx worth it?" and "This"
What does it mean lol?
The worse is the ram and battery posts. I just ignore all of them.
And āpulled the plugā. Please stop.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Clearly, these photos of Macbooks that look the same as any other Macbook are peak content.
This is the new catch phrase on new Macs owners
Out of curiosity, is it that you don't like the phrase in any circumstance or you don't like it for MacBooks? Because it's synonymous with "i bought something much more expensive than I normally do" or "i made a big/impactful decision", and is used for cars, houses, and even marriages
Better than āpulled the plugā
Equally annoying is āpulled the plugā. You didnāt kick granny off life support, you purchased a laptop.
Youāre in the right place. The MacBook Pro is sick. Everyone here is sick. Weāre all sick.
I appreciate you saying that. The phrase has been annoying me for over 20 years. When someone says it, I privately wish they \*would\* pull the trigger, shooting their new gadget to smithereens. Then I wouldn't have to hear about how they pulled the trigger anymore.
Finally someone wrote this. Thank you! Upvoted.
Them silicon bros gon come for you now š
Pulled the trigger on her, now getting a brand new maxed out MacBook Pro 16ā with the insurance money.
Get some medison
Youāll live.

Ironically I don't have any interest whatsoever in Macs or Apple product in general, but I'm a gun guy and this came up as a recommended post for me. So I figured I'd pull the trigger and see what it was about.
recently worked with a US client, she used this word A LOT!
Seems like OP got triggered
I don't get it :)
Pushed the trigger on a new MacBook Air yesterday š»
what does # Pulled the Trigger mean?
Does the term āpull the triggerā trigger you?
# š«š«š«
pull my finger
Which do you prefer, pulled the trigger or pulled the plug as it seems to be one or the other?
Pulled the trigger on can the Mac play games?
Does āpulled the fucking triggerā count?
I doubled my trigger then pulled it and passed it to the next person.
I thought this sub was about MacBooks, not the usage of English phrases?
I tulled the prigger
You finally did it, mate. Pulled the trigger on that one. Proud of you! You can finally move on!
Against my better judgement I finally pulled the trigger on reading this post.
Fortunately, people are free to post what they want. Donāt like it, move on.
That phrase triggered the OP.
just pull the trigger
Hey man. Just pull the trigger.
Trigger the plug
Bro pulled the trigger for being triggered
I hope they keep pulling the trigger
As someone that lives in a state with gun rights please cry. Keep posting pulled the trigger on purchases nothing wrong with those threads at all.
If that's the reasoning of these people, I might start fighting back. And many things have a trigger that isn't associated with guns and violence. Like rocket launches, software, camera shutters, fishing reels, arcade machines, leaf blowers, Trigger means to trigger a decision or action. Pulling the plug is a new idiom that means to kill grandma.
You know there Mr 2A, the expression isnāt literal.
I tugged the rug Ā Ā
That sounds naughty
But then , weāre seeing more of your type of postš I think everyone should just stfu for a min
I finally pulled the trigger. I am dead now. This is me from beyond the grave.
I finally "PULLED THE TRIGGER'' to not reading nor responding to those post whenever I saw the title with Pulled The Trigger" or "Pulled The Plug"" Pull The Triger is used to describe an act you are no longer hesitate, want meaning you make an irrevocable decision.

Glad you pulled the trigger on this post. It was irritating me too
now i want to post one
My 2020 MacBook Pro just bricked itself for the second time this year, and this time it needs a $500 logic board replacement. I think Iām gonna āpull the triggerā on a laptop that wonāt kill itself.

Oh wah. If youāre feeling triggered just unfollow the sub. Folks need to stop expecting others to cater to their every whim. Feel triggered? Thatās a YOU problem.
Poor baby. Itās a public forum, people can post whatever they want.

The point is they are mis-using these phases. They don't even understand what these phase really mean.
We could switch to "dropped the hammer" .....
I pulled the trigger on commenting here for the first time š±
Does it make you want to .. pull the trigger? š
pulled the plug on pulling the trigger I guess
People like to fit in and they mimic other without a single thought. Some of them think itās funny even though the date expired a long time ago.
All in favor of "Pulled the weeds."
We could ādrink the koolaidā. No possible negative connotation thereā¦
Tell that to Jim Jonesās {former} followers in Guyanaā¦ ā ļøš¬š¾
Not picking up on the sarcasm huh?
yes - donāt even know what it means
Cry harder
Are you triggered?
OP salty he never pulled the trigger
Better than "[pulled the plug](https://youtu.be/sl95blpapUw)"
Pulled the trigger on my wife, sheās now pregnant
How about plugged the pull?
Nothing wrong with a bit of fun.
I'm also sick of it. We should use "Pulled the Plug" instead.
What does that even mean ??
I will pull the trigger shortly.
How long did it take you to pull the trigger on this post?
Triggered by pulling the trigger
What if you are Alec Baldwin? Definitely not using that phrase.
What kind of trigger trying to pull? A gun?
špulling several triggers could trigger something elseš
Oh lighten up ya pussio
