That whole thing with James Bond was a private matter. Hank Scorpio made sure his employees were absolutely cared for.

Other than his government making it impossible for you statistically to ever afford a home.

Nintendo has never attempted to be a graphical competitor to Sony or Microsoft. It wasn’t their MO in the 90s, 00s, 10s, or 20s. Assuming that buying a Nintendo console should put you into a game market that looks like Playstations or Xbox’s is foolhardy. You buy a Nintendo console because you like Nintendo games. Their library is not lacking whatsoever. There are dozens and dozens of quality 1st party titles for the Switch. How you feel about their corporate persona is a different conversation.

The 9th generation has largely been a failure. Sales of consoles can be explained by FOMO and mid-pandemic desperation for anything new. The rate at which people are buying games, compared to the rate at which quality AAA games get developed, contrasted by the price of new AAA games, and you are literally choking out the industry. People have never been less interested in graphical fidelity as they are in 2024, and more and more people are becoming familiar with the PC ecosystem having spent a lot of time using one for remote work and school. People are finally starting to understand that digital only games are not a great investment. Games like Minecraft and Fortnite have never been more popular. Interest in the Switch 2 is middling at best. And most people see Xbox’s days being numbered. AMD only wins if people buy more consoles, and at this point, the PS5 pro isn’t really winning anyone over and those that wanted a regular PS5 already have one.

Not at all. The closest thing we have to Trump is Maxime Bernier (the leader of the People’s Party of Canada, a fringe alt-right party that has minimal support), or we have Pierre Polievre who leads the Conservative Party of Canada, but is nowhere near as far right as Trump. Justin Trudeau is the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and tends to take extremely centrist positions on everything. People dislike Trudeau for numerous reasons. He lied about electoral reform which was one of his key promises during his initial campaigning a decade ago, Conservatives hate him because he was young enough when he was first elected to be called “fuckable” by Buzzfeed and he spent time speaking to young people and taking photos with them instead of doing what Conservatives believe to be “respectable behavior”, he’s been implicated directly in some very boring corruption scandals, and his government has openly engaged in an immigration scam to artificially inflate Canadian housing property values because most people in our government have investment properties.

By RT? Not just from the Kremlin directly?

On a semi related note, if you’ve never seen The Insider or Thank You For Smoking, watch those movies asap.

Yeah. Incest, Violence, and Fake Tan.

Feel the love!

It’s been the norm now for about a decade.

Hamas certainly does not de-escalate the situation, but that’s not their role. Hamas and Israel are intertwined entities and they both play God with the lives of Palestinians. As peace loving people, we should be pushing for a ceasefire and a two state system. Anything other than that will only perpetuate the loss of life.

Obligatory “Fetterman is a piece of shit liar”.

Surely college students would know that voting is not against the law. These Russians sure aint what they used to be on the whole election interference front.

There are backdoors for the NSA on all consumer goods that use telephony or internet services.

Deploy the National Guard all you want. The Armed Forces of the United States of America swear an oath to the Constitution, not the President. It would be unprecedented for the NG to be deployed in such a manner to “democrat cities”, so this is purely hypothetical, but the Armed Forces as a general rule, do not fire on civilians or otherwise restrict the rights of civilians without just provocation or reason. Yes, Kent State is a famous example of when the National Guard opened fire and killed unarmed civilians exercising their 1st Amendment rights, and the aftermath of Kent State is why the National Guard will think long and hard about ever doing that again. It would make the George Floyd riots look like a picnic.

Making no money to own the libs. Classic.

Those titties tho.

This was almost a joke.

What if I told you that almost every person living in Western society walks around with a device that is constantly listening to you and relaying key words you utter to the NSA? I know I know, it sounds like science fiction.

Damn, they got Cruz now too? I thought he was one of the good Republicans!

Been using nvidia cards/drivers for the past 20 years. Never had an issue with the drivers breaking or depreciating(?) my hardware. My current card, a 1060 6gb, has been in constant use for the past 7.5 years with no measurable drop in performance, using official drivers.
