Monetary policy makes the world go round, unfortunately.

I believe the ICC does have a dispute forum. But when you get to these IGOs, it's unbelievable how many there are. Could probably bring the complaint forward in multiple other forums too.

Ah I get you, sorry, I stand corrected. Surely such a claim would come forward through the WTO though, would it not? Would the ICC (the Chamber of Commerce) have enough teeth as the forum for what's surely a monumental case?

The ICC doesn't have jurisdiction over civil matters. The ICC only has jurisdiction over the most egregious of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, on a voluntary transnational basis (you have to be a signatory country, which I believe Argentina is).

No. Slow news cycle

Which PS was a damn good lawn mower

Look at buddy over here with the 1960s lawn boy

Except that a PC with modern specs costs over $2k to build. Comparing PCs to Consoles is a fools errand, yes of course it's way better, because my gaming PC also cost five times as much to build.

I bought a PS5 earlier this year that's just collecting dust. I guess I didn't realize or appreciate until after purchase that there is very few actual PS5 titles. There is no way in hell I would consider a PS5 Pro with their current library.

Yeah that's a fair point. But you should still be able to play offline. I'm not much of an online gamer anyways.

Yeah I think we've learned by now that if you can't touch it, you don't own it. I'm tired of "leasing" software.

That's happened to me with a couple of phone apps too. Its infuriating.

I'm peak subscription overload. I'm looking for ways to turf a bunch of ours, I'm currently trying to prove to my wife that our IPTV sub has everything that she needs and the Netflix/Disney/Amazon/Paramount subs can all fuck off and die. Almost there.

Next up is the bike trainer, roadside assistance, fitness and music subs. I'll keep Spotify because I like how it integrates with our car, but that's the ONLY reason.

Honestly I don't really know, and don't really care. I enjoy sporadically using it, and I've enjoyed making both useful, and some useless things.

Trust me, I've spent far more on dumber shit that I use half as often.

Canada here. Fuck off US Copyright Groups.

Canada out.

They are saying that the bullet might have been up to some conspiracy stuff. I'm dumb as shit, and even I got that first read. C'mon. The bullet might have been from one of those Disney movies, or straight from the acme factory. You don't know.

For real though, don't take life so seriously. It's hard to find humor in serious events where people died, don't get me wrong, but at the same time a little bit of color might bring a bit of joy or a laugh to someone at a time when everyone is trying to get us to all focus on darkness.

I know if I was an ISP, I'd be like, Oh shit, we lost those logs again.

Fast forward 24 hours

Awww shit, it happened again

And so on....

There were some cheap ass weird ones in North America too. I remember for Christmas we'd ask for a Joycon or something like that, and we'd get "the Joycron," which looked nothing like a controller, had a weird shape, felt like shit and was cheap as hell. The old man would be like, arrrr we saw it at the BiWay and it was 99 cents, why do you need the one thats $60? Then he would play it, and sure enough, by February you had the real one.

I agree. That thing was HUGE. I have tiny hands too, and always struggled with it.

I also didn't really like the N64 controller, it was kind of a weird size too, and it just had a weird layout.

More like 1988, not 98. It might be when the version you are playing came out, but Populous was from the late 80s.

They don't marry them, they just diddle them underage on exotic island compounds.
