He’s not the reason why the civilised world sneers at 'Murica, but he’s a huge symptom of it

As a Canadian, I used to sneer at the US like one would sneer at an immature sibling.

Now, “Made in the USA” feels dirty. I don’t feel like the USA can recover its place of former global respect in my lifetime.

Donald Trump is DEI.

We’re giving a job to someone who is beyond the retirement age, of diminished mental capacities, wears drag, and partakes in gender affirming measures.

You saying FF6 is not a core one that people know about makes me feel less bad about saying FF8 is in my bottom 2 of FF rankings, lol

With a lot of companies no longer doing physical games, then would that give rise to more Piracy?

Probably about the same. People always find a way.

How will video game preservation work then?

Games are just data, whether physical or digital. What gets lost is the servers for online functionality an such.

Was it dead?

“Potato is and noodles” of course.

Hah! I guess Sony argues that “who bought what” is not a “critical business purpose”…

I’m not here to defend the corporations.

Email addresses are PII under GDPR, aren’t they? So linking email addresses to purchase history is explicitly retaining PII and data about someone they can identify.

I dunno, he seems to have MALE pattern baldness. It seems more like he was getting gender UNaffirming care?..

Cheers!

Heh. That makes sense!

That makes sense. It’s a lot harder to steal a house!

A 40 or even 50 year old having to live the rest of their life behind bars sounds pretty crappy

I’ve never heard of Humboldt county. Is that a flag-painting kind of place?

I’m asking more about how common it is, and not how possible it is.

HOAs sound insane though.

Day 1: “Let’s see how this goes.”

Day 2: “It’s up 20%? I can’t miss out on this gravy train!”

After drop: “It’ll go back up for sure.”

I don’t know how fast it was before it peaked, but not everybody bought right away. Or people added more money after they saw it going up.

Wow! Are there just parts of the US where everybody paints different political messages on their sheds and stuff?

I am against both, but I don’t express it by painting my walls.

Have you painted your walls like that?

You said that the argument that these people are cowards sucks because

Antifascists also cover their faces and it doesnt take anything away from them.

And they want to scare, do crimes & violence and want to get away with it. Wearing masks is actually the best way to show that you plan on doing exactly that. It 100% fits what they want to achieve.

I was making the point that the white supremacists cover their faces out of cowardice (as others have said) because they simply don’t want to be seen standing up for their beliefs. On the contrary, as you stated, Antifa would be covering their faces to prevent being held responsible for crimes.

I would imagine that Antifa people sharing and standing up for their beliefs in non-criminal ways wouldn’t be masked. The masks are to keep them out of jail.

The masks on the white supremacists are to keep other people from knowing they have these beliefs. This is what makes them cowards, without also making Antifa cowards.

Quietly? Do fungi typically feast loudly?
