  • They were protest voting because Harris wasn't good enough, so now they hold their heads high that they didn't vote for the person who wasn't strong enough against genocide while the genocide accelerationist tries to speedrun the bad end.

  • Maybe that claim would hold water if there was any evidence at all that Trump wasn't a brain damaged idiot spiraling into senility. It stops being pretending when every single appearance, every interview, every second of contact, every policy enacted, every opinion presented, and every decision made are all exactly what a complete idiot would do. He's not playing 4D Chess, he doesn't have some secret master plan, he's a pants shitting moron who's hateful rhetoric and willingness to punch down appealed to the low end of the bell curve and got them excited enough to vote.

  • Pick which one to save and which one to sacrifice. Smash the sacrifice with a hammer to free the other, break them both and realize this is just so like you and every single thing you try to do starts with a half baked plan, then goes off the rails and ruins everything until you've nothing to do but pick up the pieces.

  • With all of the absolutely blatant market manipulation he's done just since he took office, one more charge isn't going to mean shit when there haven't been any consequences yet, and probably won't be any time soon if ever. Anyone else breaking the law this openly and this often would in the very least be in jail without bail awaiting trial, if not already firmly in prison.

  • This will be fine. Everyone knows that cutting costs and corners to make a buck works, and airplane repair is a hugely expensive and time consuming process! There HAVE to be corners to cut! Why are you replacing that part? Just give it a spit shine and stick it back on, good as new! Does that thing move when it's not supposed to? Slap some duct tape on there, it'll be fine. Was it supposed to move and it doesn't? An overhaul is so expensive, just hit it with WD-40 and you're clear for takeoff! And hey, next time a plane crashes, get a couple of flatbeds out there ASAP and grab up all those free replacement parts scattered among the bodies!

  • Maybe see what player counts look like in a few months before making great and grand plans? People want a fresh take on The Sims, but maybe without the backlog of a hundred DLCs and other EA shittery. But, inZOI may not be it. Apart from the pervasive and distasteful use of generative AI, it may just not have that special something.

    So give it a while, lads. Maybe it really will be a hit, but sales in the first week mostly just say that people wanted a fresh swing at The Sims, not that they really want what inZOI is.

  • They've been inflation proof because consumers lose their shit so hard with every price increase. The price of games is just much more visible and much more conceptually ingrained than with most other products, so every increase hits consumer awareness that much harder.

    Prices instead increased in other more indirect ways. Micro-transactions in their many forms are the most obvious case. The price of your "full game" may not have gone up, but then there's a nearly limitless trickle of smaller supplementary purchases adding to the cost.

  • A huge portion of his wealth IS the Tesla stock. Add onto that the possibility of a margin call if the stock continues to drop and it may actually hurt him.

    Granted it's not the same kind of hurt as when real people get financially hurt, he won't be forced to decide which bills don't get paid or risk losing his home, but it would still hurt him.
