That I understand and is also why I want these people to actually make Trump take an action that is legally challengeable in court. Although Trump is already defying court orders so I don't know how much will come of it, but I figure if we keep seeing the pile of tangible illegal actions that courts are going on record to state they are illegal then maybe we'll get enough sway back away from the far right.

I hope so. Also, I feel like saying things like this only make more people fall into the defeatist attitude which tends lead to lower voter turn out. I get where you're coming from, but we have to at least try.

Fully agree, I'm getting really tired of people in positions like this just bowing out and not forcing the other side to follow through on their threats.

Stop using king to refer to what Trump is trying to become and use accurate terms like fascist dictator. I guarantee that Trump loves being referred to as a king and all you're doing is boosting his already massively overinflated ego.

We'll probably find out in 2 years when seats of Congress are up for election again.

It's not much different than if you were to go to a business that buys and sells gold. They'll have the current market rate on display and for video games eBay is a decent place to look for the market rate. With retro games there may at least be a bit of lag if they have prices directly on the games and not do something shady like looking up current prices at checkout.

What you said is definitely a problem though. The person selling a game should look at recent sold copies over the past 6ish months and consider the physical quality of the game in question to determine a price better; I don't think a lot of shops put much time or thought into this aspect of it.

I don't really know how you could do it any other way when retro games are a finite resource that isn't being produced any more.

Can we stop referring to him as becoming a king? Let's call it what it truly is that he's trying to become, a dictator.

Exactly what I had in mind when I wrote my original comment.

It's like mob tactics, once you pay for protection they'll just keep coming back asking for more until you're bled dry, then they'll dispose of you.

I agree, unless he ends up in jail, then I hope he grows very old.

In the past, maybe, but I feel like with the current ruling party having all branches of government under their control that they will become more and more blatant and just expect pardons or the USSC to let them off. It's not like Republicans would actually impeach and remove anyone on their own team.

Edit: grammar

Bad part about this is the damage will have already been done by the time they realize it.

Good to know, thanks for sharing that article!

Cool, can we make the divest from American game studios now?

As long as you're using latex/nitrile condoms you should be good as latex and nitrile aren't plastics. Some of the alternatives for people with latex allergies can have plastic in them though.

I doubt they'll go hungry for at least 4 years.

I suspect the Ministry of Silly Walks will start receiving a lot of new grant requests soon if you're correct about gait recognition being used in this case.

I read your comment as they want to hook up with trans people and I was adding that some (most?) are trans themselves and repressing it. I think it's probably important to recognize both of those potential aspects of where trans hate can come from.

No, they need to ban it because deep down they are afraid they are trans and if they can somehow ban it then they can keep pushing those feelings down and ignore it.

Well, actually, it's probably both.

I think the difference between a 13 year old and an 18 year old is generally pretty obvious and if you can't tell then don't even risk it.
