$65k and pulling Palworld from sale. Nintendo doesn't need money, they could fill several swimming pools with $1000 bills. They want to crush a direct competitor making a superior product.

California has been solidly blue for like 50 years or something, you could have called it blue years before the election. At least half the states can be called well before the election starts, frankly. This isn't a surprise.

Everyone complains about do-nothing stuffed suits that don't know how their business or product functions, but when a CEO gets his hands dirty and personally resolves a customer satisfaction issue with a malfunctioning product everyone starts complaining about that too. We need more of these type of go-getter hands-on executives in c-suites.

I don't think an actual civil war will immediately happen unless Trump gets killed. More likely a soft Balkanization will happen, where red states will start refusing to work with or obey the federal government. It'll be very politically popular to tell Kamala's administration to pound sand, so that'll happen a lot. A flashpoint will be when Texas starts physically and violently enforcing its border against the orders of the feds, and if the feds decide to come in and force the border open then that might kick off civil war. No idea what happens after that.

It's a problem tied to the rise of game budgets and investor demand for more guaranteed returns. You can pretty reliably get better visuals just by pumping more money into a game studio, and that translates fairly reliably into better review scores and more purchases. Good writing is harder to get via more money, but you can at least hire big name writers from previously successful games; if they write trash this time then you can still justify your decision to hire them based on their previous success. A good gameplay loop requires capturing lightning in a bottle, and you can't do that by just pumping more money into the game. You're far more likely to find a good gameplay loop by digging through the piles of cheap indie games on Steam and looking for someone's personal passion project.

Also, and I've been deliberately ignoring the elephant in the room until now, woke devs don't actually play games and don't know what good gameplay is.

The dissonance between being rich and comfortable with zero real problems and being told by everyone that they're oppressed and trodden on and constantly under attack drives them legitimately insane. Their anxiety and aggressiveness baseline under normal conditions has been set to very high by the constant grievance propaganda so even minor pushback makes them incredibly mad.

I've even heard reports that there's one character who engages with you in a dialogue where one of the options is to attack him, but even after you select it, he STILL remains unkillable!

Yeah that's the bald nigger space policeman who wants to blackmail you into being a glowie plant in a pirate fleet, so they can collect enough evidence to arrest all the space pirates who constantly attack people. Oh, and he insists that you don't kill anyone while you do it. It's as stupid as it sounds.

Pierre Poilievre is a cuck who has to wait for a team of public opinion analysts to tell him his positions, but that might be the best Canada's gonna get. The Peoples Party of Canada existing forces the Conservatives to at least acknowledge actual right wing positions for fear of their voting base being cannibalized. I don't have a lot of hope for Canada, but there's some.

They're not suing to have the manifesto be public. They're suing to have the manifesto be owned by the family of the shooter who pinky swear they'll give the rights to the victims' families, and neither of them will ever show it to the public.

The grift is also that the women who designed it went on government-paid trips to Ecuador and Europe to "learn about street shading solutions".

To be fair, they might be spending a lot on prosthetics and makeup to make the clickers look really good, hiring a lot of extras for big zombie swarm scenes, and good squibs and gore effects.

Oh who am I kidding, it's going towards diversity consultants and cocaine.

Absolutely. If climate alarmists were serious about this, the best way to phase out fossil fuels in the power grid is switching to all-nuclear power generation, or as close to it as possible. Green energy sources like solar and wind are nowhere close to being able to replace the baseload power draw of modern societies. Not only that, we should be working on miniaturizing and idiot-proofing nuclear reactors for use in international shipping boats, airplanes, cargo trains, etc. We will never stop needing fossil fuels until we can at least run our trade and good transport systems on something that isn't a combustion engine. Military aircraft carriers and submarines already run on nuclear generators and those boats are filled with bored idiot soldiers, so it's clearly possible.

If we have no leaders who is going to hold any sort of office? Political positions need to be filled by individual human beings. The right simply needs to gatekeep more and gatekeep better. We can absolutely do better than a gay black bipolar rapper, a gay jewish grifter, and a gay mexican catboy enthusiast.

Dr. Philippe Douyon, a neurologist in New Jersey at the Inle Brain Fit Institute who hosts The Brain Prophets Podcast, said he’s concerned that some may interpret the study to mean that Black people are naturally predisposed to Alzheimer’s. “That’s not the case at all. A lot of things contribute to dementia and Alzheimer’s, like high blood pressure and diabetes. Also, chronic stress kills neurons or brain cells in the part of the brain responsible for making new memories,” Douyon said.

Being fat angry niggers is what's giving blacks Alzheimer's. Being a functional and contributing member of society is protective against brain problems.

The process is the punishment. He was still arrested, jailed, and put through a trial, for horseshit crimes under unjust law. Without any way to hold the people persecuting him responsible, there is no justice.

The sick irony is that the only reason this is even happening is because Trump has been banned from Twitter and so cannot use his speech to counter the misinformation that he is dead on Twitter's platform. More freedom of speech is what prevents things like this from happening, not less.

“If safety was a concern, and there was evidence to select certain bodily characteristics to base safety cut-offs on, then you would see, say, shorter men excluded from competing with taller men, or lighter women from competing with heavier women, across sports.”

Yes, that's correct. In sports where serious physical disparity can easily result in injury, these safety cut-offs exist. Weight classes, age cutoffs, and also sex-divided leagues exist for, among other reasons, this exact issue.
