In his letter, Trump said “unsustainable Trade Deficits against the United States” also contributed to his consideration of the high tariff rate. However, the United States has a good trade surplus with Brazil — more than $7 billion last year.

What a clown. It will never happen but I would love to see Brazil slapping retaliatory tariffs on American imports like China did.

That's wishful thinking, I'm afraid. Nintendo owns the handheld market and now that they've made a handheld their only platform there's no way they're going back to traditional consoles, especially not after the original Switch sold a gazilion units with the same form-factor as the new one but with a hardware 10x weaker. The higher prices are a risky gamble but their profit margins have never been this high so they probaby don't even care if the Switch 2 doesn't sell nearly as much as its predecessor.

A lot of the internet has been lost to time already so I actually appreciate this place having this kind of permanence.

A goose? I was going to say it was one of the animals I could beat in a fight considering how fragile birds are in general.

Ok, I'm sold, let's do this

Yeah, it's disappointing to know some of the things the Lemmy devs support but this being a federated platform means you don't really have to be on Lemmy to interact with the posts and users here. Piefed and Mbin work just as well and are fully independent projects so you could try those instead.

Hate might be too strong of a word but I remember how 12-year-old-me found them hard to watch because their special effects looked dated in comparison to the prequels'.

My favorite is the red-crested cardinal(Paroaria coronata) but I know their chances of becoming Pope are slim because it's very unlikely they'd elect two South-American cardinals in a row.

Also bury me inside it with all of my treasure when it's done, I want to be rich in heaven.

It's unclear. The Vatican denies it, but apparently weirder methods have been used to certify the passing of a pope before, so who knows.

I realized I couldn't think of a single green mammal so I DDG'd it and it's true. In a nutshell, the pigments that give mammals their colors are limited to warm colors (so no blue or green) and you could also fake a green color by reflecting mostly just green light off you (it's how birds do it) but it seems to be something only feathers and scales are good at, not fur.

I really hope it does the manga justice. It would be a tragedy if people ended up dismissing this series because of a subpar anime adaptation.

Also, don't forget to hit them with a stick periodically so they learn their place. They might develop a deep hatred for humans but that's okay, it's not like they'll revolt and kill us all or anything.

If you think you can stop deforestation in the Amazon by not buying soybeans I have bad news for you. Not only because soybeans are grown everywhere in Brazil but also because there are multiple other reasons why deforestation happens, like illegal logging, mining and cattle raising.

Last I heard they were being called MAMAA now, meaning Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet.

It will be 10 minutes to announce the new console and 50 minutes to announce Silksong

Oh, I assumed that the rapture would work in a different way than regular death for some reason so maybe true believers could still go to heaven even if they're sinners. If it's all the same then yeah, I have no idea what their logic is either.

I fully expected this game to be dead so that announcement was a welcome surprise.

It makes sense if they think they're going to hell, but that would require having a level of self-awareness I don't believe anyone trying to actively cause the end of times can possess.
