That’s not even the biggest issue for me. The $80 games that never get discounted will cost a lot more than that pretty quickly. Plus I know they push their subscription service too.
As a PC gamer, fuck that. I’ll play cheap better games on my free operating system that I actually control on my hardware that I can repair and replace easily. Nintendo games interest me, but not nearly at the price they’re asking for with what they’re offering.
As of yesterday YouTube is blocking videos for me. Until that’s solved, I’m just not watching YouTube. Not a big loss.
This man has probably never ironed anything in his life.
Yeah, I think I’ve read that sugar is more addictive than cocaine. Put simply, we’re all addicted to things. I don’t know if anyone in this world can truly say they aren’t an addict. Some addiction are just more socially acceptable, but that just brings to light that addiction isn’t the issue, it’s the behavior. You should be allowed to be addicted to what you want as long as it doesn’t harm others.
I hate most math eduction because it’s all about memorizing formulas and rules, and then memorizing exceptions. The user above’s system is easier to learn, because there’s no exceptions or weirdness. You just learn the rule that division is multiplication and subtraction is addition. They’re just written in a different notation. It’s simpler, not more difficult. It just requires being educated on it. Yes, it’s harder if you weren’t obviously, as is everything you weren’t educated on.
Most people are drug addicts. Almost everyone I know is addicted to caffeine. Addiction sucks, but being an addict isn’t necessarily bad. It’s when it starts causing issues in your life or you can’t handle yourself properly that it’s a problem.
“Seperate the art from the artist” is great… when they’re dead. As always, you have to consider where the money goes. While she’s alive it goes to her, and she uses it to do evil.
Yes, but somehow they’ve been given a lot of freedom. There’s a character that I’m pretty sure is supposed to be Walt Disney himself aiding the Fascists to create propoganda. Tell me this isn’t him:
The US certainly does have a left. The left just isn’t in power. There are many leftist organizations and individuals outside the halls of power.
I don’t know if you meant to do this, but that’s literally part of the show. The people on this planet waited too long to stand up, but they still have to. Because they waited too long they’re almost all going to die, but they’ll at least die martyrs and get others to stand up before it’s too late for them.
I agree with the other comment, it is the best in general. I’m not as old as the other person, but Star Wars has been a part of my life always. I wouldn’t even say any other video media holds a light to it. Obviously the original trilogy have had more influence, but Andor does a much better job of telling a story of rebellion.
Honestly, the jedi aren’t relatable, and that’s why everything else falls flat. They’re spectacle and almost no substance. Andor is entertaining while telling essentially true stories of rebellion that have actually happened. We can see ourselves in the characters, and it’s so much more impactful because of it. They’re also not afraid to show the horrors of war, while the original series mostly handwaves it away. They show a planet blowing up, but they don’t show people suffering. They show battles, but they don’t show civilians or what happens to their loved ones. They’re just rebelling because they were written to, but they’re never actually given a reason.
It’s great because it hardly resembles Star Wars. There’s no chosen one (OK, season 2 sort of makes Andor into someone chosen by The Force, but it’s vague enough that maybe it’s just saying it’s around him because of what he’s done/become), no lighsabers, barely any of The Force, there’s mass murder of civilians on screen, and I’m pretty sure they even included an anologue for Walt Disney himself as a master of propoganda assisting The Empire, just like the real Walt and Fascists.
It’s good because they have a passionate team, and they seem to have been given almost complete freedom. Disney isn’t breathing down their necks telling them what to or not to include. They just want to tell a story about rebellion in our world, but use the Star Wars backdrop to trick people into watching it and agreeing with it when they maybe wouldn’t initially if it were using imagery from our world.
Like you said, it’s never going to stop, and if they destroy access to all the ones who comply with legal requirements then the only ones left available will be the sketchy ones that don’t. I don’t think that’s where you want kids going, so just get the fuck out of the way and let the parents handle it.
My understanding is that it potentially isn’t illegal, because you weren’t being paid to vote explicitly, and weren’t being paid to vote for a specific candidate for sure, but you were (supposed to be) paid to sign an agreement that you would vote, and I think it also said you support a certain candidate but I’m not totally sure on that.
Basically, he was paying for people to say they’d vote (maybe for a certain candidate) but legally that wasn’t actually required, so possibly barely skirts the law if a judge is being very generous to him.
Based on what you’ve said I doubt you do it much at all
I’m an eagle scout. I’ve done a fair amount of hiking/backpacking/etc.
lol. No bro they decorated it with colourful objects
Who are you talking about? Native people or these modern people? Both of the have, although the modern people removed theirs when they were done. I don’t have an issue with native people decorating rocks though.
I do it for fun. It’s a “white person thing” if hanging a flag is.
I this way, yes, it is. Yes, native people also probably climbed it, but it was spiritually significant, not for Instagram pictures or whatever.
Yeah, I didn’t mean fair as in equitable or reasonable. I meant it as in moderately, as in there is some regulation.
Thanks.
I didn’t say they weren’t fairly regulated. In fact, being purchased illegally implies they’re regulated to some extent. Again though, you can illegally purchase them, obviously. Black markets exist, which means you can purchase things that are illegal to purchase.
I feel like you’re biased in favor of Nintendo. “They make durable products” while also being infamous for the joysticks drifting. Those don’t seem to gel together. Maybe they’re hard to totally break, but they seem to be fine with selling products that degrade pretty quickly.
