Countries whose exchange rate likely made the game even more expensive, and you’ve taken it from them just to dox PC gamers on the PlayStation network.
This isn’t even enshittification. It’s outright fraud.
Their tax rate isn’t the real issue. The fact that they extract that much wealth out of the labor and production of others is the real problem.
No human being should have a billion dollars. The workers who got you to your level of privilege and status should be paid based on their worth.
A boss that pays fairly would never become a billionaire, and their workers would live good lives being paid the actual value of their labor. Increased demand from increased household discretionary income would create a boom on the supply side.
But it will never happen, because billionaires own everything and will always manufacture consent. Democracy will die to thunderous applause.
You’re right that the vast majority are cowards, but you also have psychos who jerk off to a fantasy of shooting someone. There are all kinds of crazies out there just looking for a reason, and they’re getting crazier in their psycho echo chambers.
I went to a checkup recently and one of the mental health questions asked is whether you have a fear of something terrible happening soon. I keep up with the news. Of course I have a fear of something terrible happening soon. I’d be delusional if I didn’t.
With the midday sun blazing, an experimental orange and white F-16 fighter jet launched with a familiar roar that is a hallmark of U.S. airpower. But the aerial combat that followed was unlike any other: This F-16 was controlled by artificial intelligence, not a human pilot. And riding in the front seat was Air Force Secretary...
Racist and antisemitic threats are wrong and should be treated appropriately, which is to say, through academic disciplinary and legal methods targeted at the individuals who issue such threats, not through the deployment of riot police against masses of peaceful protesters. But a big difference exists between being threatened and being uncomfortable, and critics of the protesters – and the anti-war movement in general – blur the two.
Exactly. If there are actual threats or instances of antisemitism going on, punish the perpetrators through the appropriate existing channels. Don’t unleash violence on peaceful protestors based on some vague notion of “discomfort” with opposition to the war.
The Seattle Times wrote that Dean “had been in good health and was noted for having a healthy lifestyle,” but had died after contracting “a sudden, fast-spreading infection.”
Agent 747 has some more sophisticated toys to play with this time. He must have upgraded after the last whistleblower.
The Israeli/Palestinian conflict and the issues surrounding it are becoming a litmus test for media literacy. The layer of bullshit around it is thick, but it’s also obviously bullshit.
The United States House of Representatives has overwhelmingly passed a bill that would expand the federal definition of anti-Semitism, despite opposition from civil liberties groups....
Adding IHRA’s definition to the law would allow the federal Department of Education to restrict funding and other resources to campuses perceived as tolerating anti-Semitism.
The campus crackdown is definitely going too far. Vietnam War protestors were treated the same way. It escalated, and the cops opened fire at Kent State.
“My administration will not allow you to eat this plant that tastes like meat,” said the small government conservative. “Also, women should die rather than let their doctors abort dead fetuses inside them.”
It’s an extremely obscure conspiracy theory that happens to be one of Putin’s big talking points. He brought it up in the Tucker Carlson interview. How the fuck does MTG know anything about ethnic Hungarians in Transcarpathia and what language they speak? She can barely string a sentence together herself.
Incredibly speculative, but this could also be Elon’s Saudi investors’ plan to blow up the EV market in America. If the charging infrastructure becomes unreliable, it kills the entire market.
