I don't understand why they get a vote either. They have no jurisdiction here, unless they're threatening to bar MS products from their company if the deal goes through.

In the gaming realm? Sony has almost double the market share than Microsoft. Boosting Microsoft to be more competitive would benefit gamers. Look at PS Plus; they had to up their game to compete with Game Pass Ultimate.

I'm not sure if they're doubling down on bad bets because it's challenging for humans and businesses to admit they made a mistake and reverse course or if they're just so infected executives and staff who are so interested in pushing their social agenda that they're willing to destroy their employer to do it. Probably both.

I think it's because companies see roughly half of the population not being interested in gaming not a s reality, but as some vast untapped market sure to lead to fabulous riches.

In reality, girls aren't interest in gaming for the same reason they're largely disinterested in Transformers, GI Joe, etc.- it's an activity that appeals to boys. Spamming the market with lady soldier GI Joe's won't make girls buy them, it just results in a bunch of unsold G Joe's on the shelves.

So, when the logical and predictable failure of trying to turn video gaming into a girl's activity materializes, these companies can't just accept the fact that they made a mistake and go back to catering to their actual audience they have to blame us for it instead.

Eh, they can't hold any of that stuff back in perpetuity. This sort of thing has already been litigated, once the government no longer has the ability to show that releasing the information would interfere with an active investigation or prosecution they have to share it, because it's considered newsworthy.

Eventually they'll get sued and be forced to release it all, meaning both the full unabridged manifesto and any lab reports.

I'm not the OP. The data line at the bottom says the data is from the Department of Education. And "Carpe Diem AEI". I would imagine whoever AEI is created it.

Remember that this chart is for BA, not BS degrees. I didn't even know a BA in Biology existed. But apparently it does:

The BA degree often allows more room for outside electives. This can be especially useful if you are trying to double major or minor. BA students usually still go on to med school, but some prefer to go into other fields like teaching or software engineering.

BS students typically take fewer general education requirements and more science and math courses. Additionally, BS students have the option to specialize. You should consider a BS degree if you are sure of what you want to concentrate on during your college career.

So, it's "biology-lite". Unsurprising that women would dominate the watered down version of a science degree

Yes, and to date they're the only gun maker to do that. Also, why a law enforcement agency needs .50 BMG is a good question to ask.

Now imagine the impact of just Glock and Smith and Wesson doing the same. That's 80% or more of the handguns used by cops in America. Add in Beretta, SIG, FN, Colt, and Ruger, and that's damn near every firearm a government agency could have. If Federal, Speer, Remington UMC, etc. did the same for ammo there would be an immediate effect.

Why these companies tolerate left wing governments making them a whipping boy for all the crime that is actually a result of their shitty social policies and then lick the hand that beats them by continuing to sell firearms and ammunition to them boggles my mind.

Nuclear weapons kept the peace for 50 years, and they can do so again. The best way to deter a Chinese of invasion of Taiwan is to give Taiwan nuclear weapons and walk away. China is not going to invade that island if it means Beijing gets incinerated.

The left: Paying hush money to a stripper (likes lots of rich people do) is felony election interference because you did it so your image wouldn't be tarnished, costing you votes.

Also the left: it's perfectly all right to commission a conspiracy involving over four dozen senior government officials for the sole purpose of lying to discredit factually correct information documenting your son's misconduct so your image wouldn't be tarnished, costing you votes.

It's way past time for the firearms industry to have a coordinated and integrated strategy to deal with this sort of shit. Leftist states, in alliance with Bloomberg and the other gun grabbing faggots will never stop attempting their death by a thousand cuts approach.

While the Bruen decision means that most or all of these bullshit laws will eventually be thrown out, it would be even more effective if the firearms industry got their shit together and had a pre-planned response for this sort of thing: divvy up which organization is going to file suit to prevent duplication of effort, all major manufacturers and retailers immediately cut off firearms, parts, and ammunition sales to government entities in the affected state, and end any discount programs for private sales to law enforcement.

Basically as soon as a law like this is passed the state becomes ostracized by anyone that matters in the firearms industry and a well coordinated lawsuit is filed. I honestly don't understand why they're not doing this, because if these states get away with banning guns many or most of these companies will go out of business. There simply aren't enough government contracts to support the amount the firearms and accessories currently being sold in America if private individuals can't own them.

I've been following this one. There are a couple of companion bills they passed too, one of them trying to use public nuisance laws to assign liability to firearms retailers and manufacturers for their misuse. It's basically copy/paste legislation provided to them by Bloomberg. Pretty much the same exact law is already losing in New Jersey- because it's a blatant violation of the federal PLCAA law.

Bottom line, they're just wasting everyone's time and a shit ton of money passing laws that have zero chance of withstanding a Bruen challenge.

That's great news, however, this post has revealed some disturbing facts:

  1. There's a Golden Book on Taylor Swift
  2. It's the #4 bestseller on Amazon right now

I can't believe that creature appeals to anyone. Vain, shallow, and can't seem to sing a song that isn't talking shit about former friends and boyfriends. An extremely ugly soul in that one.

Imgurians expect that the original poster (OP) will be explicit about if and how they are connected to the content they are posting. Trying to hide that relationship, or not explaining it well to others, is a common feature of bad sharing.

This is retarded. Someone's motives for posting something may be interesting, but the content stands on its own.

I was tearing my hair out when all that derogatory information about Hillary Clinton and her email servers etc. got leaked and the press wanted to focus on the fact that they thought Russia was behind it.

If it's true, who cares? Sure, they have an ulterior motive in releasing the information but that doesn't change its truthfulness.

It's actually incredibly rare for judges and DAs to get rubbed out, and I've always wondered why.

It seems like someone who is going to prison for 20-30 years and is already in their 40's has little to lose and if they're on bail during the trial they let them stay on bail between conviction and sentencing. It seems like more people would choose to get their revenge on the way out.

Season 1 was awful. Season 2 somehow plumbed new depths of shitiness. I forgot Season 3 existed and didn't watch any of it.

So, here's the real problem with ebooks:

I got a free Kindle copy of the complete works of P.G. Wodehouse from Amazon. Any bets that they stealth edit it?

I wouldn't call myself anti-Semitic, but maybe we could do with a few less Harvard Jews and government. We've already got plenty and they don't seem to be doing such a great job.

John Spartan, you are fined one credit for a sotto voce violation of the Verbal Morality Act.

Even action movies can be a teaching tool. This is how I learned that sotto voce is Latin for that fake whisper people do to actually draw more attention to what they are saying.

Free to play mobile games are a cancer. Here come the micro purchases and pay to win mechanics in the game that probably has less depth than a super Nintendo cartridge!

Allowing men to compete in women's sports cuz they throw on a wig and say they're a girl is absolutely insane. But so is automatically arresting men without any evidence on an accusation of domestic violence, greatly favoring the woman in any custody disputes, crushing child support payments, etc.

The latter things cause orders of magnitude more damage to society then who plays in a volleyball game, and if nobody in power has the energy to get fired up to address those injustices I certainly am not going to expend an ounce of effort on behalf of women's sports.

a shared love of guns, racist online memes and video games.

Sounds like a good time.
