Green Line Effect
Given that he's shitting on translators, swapping green/blue is a common fuck up in translation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue%E2%80%93green_distinction_in_language#Japanese
Maybe there was some well-known old instance where Blue Line was mistranslated? Best I can do. Or maybe "Line" just means a line of dialog.
Cheap labor is part of it, but the sad reality is that supply chain is entrenched because China embraced manufacturing and US policy abandoned it. I suggested they print domestically. But what are the odds that the paper and inks suppliers would still be in China?
Unfucking this would take decades. IMHO, they should have focused tariffs on finished products and then slide the cutoff down over time. Once you get "assembly" back in the US it opens the doors for domestic companies to start supplying some of the inputs. Then someone can supply those suppliers, etc. The goal being you end up only importing materials that cannot be sourced locally like rare earths. You can't just say "shit costs more now" and expect a Shenzen equivalent to spawn itself in the US.
how the fuck can you offer jobs or housing to someone in a foreign country
Easily. You can offer anything to anyone. You might not be able to fulfil it, but once their ID is gone and they can't return, who cares? In fact, an angry invader in Europe is even more effective for destabilization.
Your games are printed paper and some die-cut cardboard. Maybe some little injection molded stands for the cardboard.
There is NO reason you can't produce those domestically. You're not the fucking semiconductor industry with hundreds of billions of production line investment. Make them in the US and your tariff is $0.
I got bored with it already. It's polished and plays well, but I think team hero shooters just aren't for me. And Rivals ramped up the thing that makes it feel the worst: there's so many ways to multi-target heal that it encourages blobbing up and makes everyone feel like a bullet sponge.
And the bot lobbies are an absolute game killer. You barely lose a match in overtime, having finally started to get a feel for game flow. So they throw you into a match with bots so easy you can push into their spawn in the first few minutes to reinforce any bad habits you were trying to shake.
I'll still play DM once and a while if I feel like an FPS but that's about it.
DOGE hopes to make government an apple store experience for people going in
It already is. But it's this Apple Store.

You nailed it. Cargo cult PR.
It doesn't matter the circumstances. It doesn't matter which side of the incident your guy was on. You roll out the same actors, you put on the same performance, and the same people buy tickets.
They're acting like he's the victim because for decades, acting like the victim has worked. And the people watching can't tell the difference because they don't think. They only consume media and this has all the trappings of the last show.
Am I to remain hesitant and unsure forever?
Yes and no. IMHO, the ideal is to not hesitate and continue to act based on what you think you know. But also make a habit of questioning how you came to know what you know. If you come across a piece of "common knowledge," especially about history, that you realize you actually picked up from a lifetime of it being a trope in pop-media, correct it or at least revise your certainty around the point. Then continue acting without hesitation.
If you think you're uniquely immune to propaganda, you're probably a great target for it. Willingness to re-evaluate positions that you strongly held is the thing that counters it. And re-evaluate doesn't mean you change your position. It just means tracing the steps you took to get there instead of being dogmatic about it.
I'm no expert, but the key issue with cancers is that the body can't recognize them as a threat because the cells are its own. In theory, if there were some material that could train the immune system to recognize the existing cancer cells, it would fit the definition of a therapeutic vaccine.
I agree with you that an mRNA treatment isn't a vaccine, it's gene therapy. But on paper, a cancer "cure" using a traditional vaccine mechanism could exist. You'd need to come with some antigen that got it to go after the cancer.
If you were interested in proving the poster wrong, you could have just mentioned that HPV is linked to certain cancers. It's true and commonly known. If they doubted it, they can check for themselves.
Instead you posted AI spam that we're going to completely ignore.
The funny part is you and it are still completely wrong. Gizortnik said that cancers aren't viruses. You said "cancers are related to virii." You changed the claim to give an answer, that wasn't even your own, that didn't refute anything he said.
ALSO "virii" is not not the plural of virus. Even in Latin, it wouldn't be virii.
Here, in case this helps you:
Copilot:
What is the plural of virus
The plural of "virus" is "viruses." Some people wonder if it should be "viri" or "virii," but those forms aren't correct in English.
"Viruses" is the standard and widely accepted plural form.
Is cancer a virus
Cancer itself is not a virus, but certain viruses can increase the risk of developing cancer.
If you actually wanted to contradict him, you'd want to focus on prophalactic vs. therapeutic vaccines, because vaccines aren't specifically preventative and aren't specifically for viruses.
Either that or they wanted the trip to take longer. If it's not just journalistic flair and they were using it to distance themselves and start over, a long bus ride vs. a few hours in a plane would be a good fit.
Or it would have been if the bus experience was that of the 1950s.
Haven't seen it. Won't see it.
Was it a case of the show being accidentally based?
If it's usually woke, they're probably trying make a point about, "the world not being able to handle their authentic selves and forcing them to play straight white male roles" or similar trash.
Reminds me of that one in Indiana. Perpetrator starts shooting in a mall with a rifle. Within 15 seconds, the most midwestern man you've ever seen pulls a Glock and hits him with 8 of 10 shots, starting at 40 yards.
Some guys just process adrenaline really well I guess.
Should save some of that blame for the tattoo artist.
