Do you think the bargain bin fascists running the US are capable of original thoughts?

It's exactly because we live in capitalism that, as consumers, we need to punish greedy behaviour.

The US is getting away with it on the middle east. Israel is a cautionary tale about why doing on your own doorstep puts your civilian population a risk of retaliation.

Other big companies offer bigger free upgrades for years without demanding more money from who already bought game (Minecraft says hi), indie developers have less sources of revenue and lots of them still offer updates for longer than even a console life cycle - and neither are tying the updates to buying a brand new console.

Don't tell him that, otherwise you'll probably end up with an eugenics program.

At some point he is going to have to pick between them and his main sources of income.

I wouldn't go that far. Looking from a distance, the US is starting to look a lot like pre-2022 Russia. The government abuses the letter of the law to go against its spirit, and courts get progressively stacked with pro-govermnent cronies. So, while you can't expect a fair trial anymore, they are not openly ignoring the written law yet. Thus opens some venues of defense because the thugs on the ground often fuck up the paperwork.

The company itself claims they are dire wolfs. And the scientists are at least comfortable enough to lend their names to the lie.

Also the dire wolf is actually a scam that would make P. T. Barnum proud.

Good Tsar, Bad Boyars. Even there the US is starting to sound like Russia

But China owns Russia, and I doubt they are happy with Putin's pet peeing all over the place.

You don't even need that much. At least at this stage, Trump is abusing existing laws as a sledgehammer against the economy. While Trump can veto new laws passed by "just" 50% of the Congress, they would at least have some leverage to pressure him.

Because nothing helps a struggling economy like legalized nepotism.

Isn't this dude a Senator? He can help end the stupid tariff war any time he wants. If he can grow a spine and bring 4 friends with him he can at least put pressure on his pals on the house of representatives.

Why is VAT so hard to understand for otherwise literate Americans?

China just needs to do what Trump wants and refuse to export things to the US for a week or two. That should be enough for the people bankrolling Trump to get rid of him.

Just for reference in case someone needs it, Nintendo is "offering" free joycon replacements in North and South America, most of Europe (EU+EFTA+UK), Australia, and New Zealand.

It's inevitable for ads supported social media.

They need to keep you "engaged" to show you more ads, and the most effective way to do it is to foster conflict.

How's the leopard treating you, Bill?

You underestimate how much interface and algorithms impact how people interact with eachother.
