While a Trump presidency couldn’t slam the brakes on the E.V. transition, it could throw enough sand in the gears to slow it down. And that might have significant consequences for the fight to stop global warming.
So I was shopping with my wife today and I said “oh let’s see if my membership helps out.” So we went and added the same item to each of our carts, and to our surprise, the total was the same! So what is it exactly that I’m paying for in this membership if the items “original price” is higher for me than it is for...
I go there and do their price match for harddrives when I need them day-of, which surprisingly they still honor. So that $90-$100 nonsense is usually $60-$70 for me as it should be.
Edit: brain fart, that’s Office Depot. I have no clue if Best Buy does price matches anymore
Except study after study shows it isn’t the cause.
Online radicalization is by far the central issue here. It’s one’s peers that are the issue. Violent games are at worst an indicator of tendencies, not a cause.
I really do get all of this (with one caveat), but if I was running that magazine, EA pressuring or not, I would have to have a talk with that writer. I also imagine this is not the first time they had done something like this. I feel like we are missing a lot of context.
I do not agree we should encourage self harm because of somebody’s social/class status or wealth.
Go use Adobe audio enhance and tell me AI is a scam lol
Yes most of it is trash but I use probably 3-4 AI tools a day in video editing right now. Audio AI tools are unbelievable across the board in my experience. Topaz Labs does video upscaling like I’ve never seen in my life no matter how experienced the professional at the wheel.
She’s not stupid. She knows the intricacies of this issue and she chose to do this. There is not a single generous interpretation you can sell me on here.
Recording home videos for personal use within your immediate family was protected. Screening for people beyond that was not. Mr. Rogers famously gave us what little protection we had and insured that we could even have home VHS recorders. Testified before a congressional committee that was on the verge of banning it, changed one critical mind and that stopped it.

Do you know what’s so frustrating about these people? They often won’t show up until 6-9 months before the election and start complaining about the lack of choice. They don’t vote in the primaries, they don’t work the other 3 1/2 years on campaigns or for causes they care about. They do nothing at the local or state levels. They show up last minute, scream “nothing we do matters,” then fuck off until the next general.
Just grenades complaining and griping and destroying things with no end in sight.
There are many issues with this analogy. For starters, the person can choose to date nobody and they aren’t stuck with any guy. “Nobody” is actually a choice. They can also look elsewhere - they have countless immediate, viable options.
If I choose not to vote, I still get Trump or Biden.
