I'm not going to even argue with you.

It really depends on how much of a difference there is between David and Larry Ellison. I'd rather the hyper-zionist who said, "Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on,” not have any hand in anything that could shape culture.

But maybe David doesn't take after his dad. I don't really know but I'm not optimistic.

I don’t know who crafted the first tweet that simply said “Eve Fartlow,” but whoever it was—bot or human—started a fire.

I sincerely hope that there's a bot on Twitter that does that.

I don't know, but it's the one I'm hoping for. If they can get DC and Harry Potter production rights under the same ownership as the Universal Studios parks, there'd be a sword hanging over Disney's head. Especially with DC and Marvel in competing parks.

Shareholders might actually make them clean house. One can dream.

Netflix is the worst case. Consolidation of streaming, another blow to theaters, more streaming-tier "content" replacing films (not to say things are great today), and the obvious: Netflix turning everything they touch to shit.

Fuck, I'd rather Nvidia buy them on a whim than it goes to Netflix.

Why is she racist against Chinese railroad workers?

Micron's dropping out of the consumer RAM stick market. AFAIK, they're still selling the chips to customers. Auto mfg and the like should still have availability.

This is a assumption on my side, but I'm going to bet the auto and industrial stuff uses older nodes and older RAM designs. Probably doesn't compete with datacenter/PC demand.

But the reality is that VR needs a lot of room and computing power to do stuff.

I've got to disagree with that one. The auto and flight sim crowd alone prove it wrong. A headset in a chair works great and takes less room than the insane monitor setups. Nor does it need crazy computing power. Sure it's more than a single monitor, but the worst case is "render everything twice and display on two screens at a good refresh rate," so generally double or less.

The problem with VR is cost. Most gaming experiences are fine on a static display unless it's a genre that really benefits from it. There's no justification for a headset. And the people with headsets will take whatever they can get because lack of strong offerings, so the VR-exclusive stuff is mediocre and doesn't drive adoption either.

the more it's people consume foreign products, the more the government gets funded.

Fuck. That's a good point and one I didn't consider. Even if it doesn't encourage globalization, it might encourage local governments to put up roadblocks to domestic competition, locking in current globalization.

1. 0%
2. N/A

And if it does happen, it's obvious how it will shake out in the end. We've seen something similar play out already:

• Raise gas taxes to incentivizes EVs
• EV adoption goes up
• Taxes raised from gas goes down
• Introduce new taxes/fees to include EVs to make up shortfall because spending less is totally impossible. /s
• No cuts to gas taxes

Long term, manufacturing would move back to the US to avoid tariffs. The government wouldn't cut spending because it never does. They would introduce new taxes to make up the difference. The end result is tariffs and taxes. But hey, if it ends up being the same amount taken from Americans, but on-shores industry in the meantime, it'd still be an improvement.

You've mistakenly narrowed the scope of the topic. Your comment assumes that the reason allocating large amounts of funding to college sports is ridiculous because it's not profitable. That's not why. It's ridiculous because it shows where the college's priorities lie.

Saying, "Football brings in way more money than it costs," is the non-sequitur. That is irrelevant to why it's a problem. That's why I suggested a Division I Thot League. Would you agree it's an awful idea, even if it brings in more money than it costs? Or do you think it's a good allocation of college resources as long as it's financially self-supporting?

You're probably right.

But just for fun, what if their actuaries found:

1. Very few men are willing to select non-binary even if it means a discount.
2. The women who would select non-binary are willing to pay a premium to be "affirmed."

Then they wouldn't pass up the free money by putting a third classification in between male and female. It's exact premium determined by the balance between #1 and #2.

Edit: I found a reference to OP's image. https://ghostarchive.org/archive/svTif

To my surprise, they found "non-binary" to be cheaper than female.

Daily Mail has confirmed the trend - finding the costs of a comprehensive policy for a 2016 Hyundai i30 was about $730 cheaper for a 25-year-old non-binary customer than a male - bringing the cost from $2,300 per year to $1570. The same policy for a female customer was about $1,917.

And?

Traffic enforcement brings in more revenue than dealing with violent crime. That doesn't mean that the priority of a police force should be speeding tickets. Collegiate sports were created so students could engage in structured physical activity, not so universities could transition into event promoters.

They might as well start a college OnlyFans league. I'm sure they could bring in way more than they spend on it. They could start offering full scholarships for really nice tits. As long as it's cash positive, right?

It's not new. It goes back at least 10 years. It's just not used very often because it's cringe Hollywood shit.

Plausible. They charge women less for the same insurance and "non-binary" is women. My guess is this is actually an edit of Male/Female.

100% this. Data duplication made perfect sense when you're reading off optical media where you control where the tracks are. You don't want the read head having to index back and forth constantly. You want similarly accessed data in nearby rings.

On a PC, the dev doesn't really have control over where the files are written in the first place. Now, what I could believe is that every subsequent expansion duplicated assets from the previous releases, because they knew that updating the originals would invite fragmentation.

My money is on them not being confident that they weren't breaking old content so they just made the new content effectively standalone. Probably punted on regression testing too.

If it were actual Canadians, this wouldn't be that awful. But it's not. It's just doubling the attack surface for scammers.

we can tune out the surrounding cuckoldry

Then just tune out with the endless ads for pills for crippling dry mouth or whatever too.

I’m sorry (sincerely) if you got bullied

I appreciate the sentiment, but I didn't get bullied by anyone. I just don't get why anyone would cling to leagues where they obviously despise their fans. I'm not criticizing you for enjoying sports. I'm criticizing you for caring about professional [televised] sports in 2025. Yeah, you can pirate to avoid supporting them but at the end of the day, it's still caring enough to tune in to see if some guy who hates America can run it to the "Stop Hate end zone, presented by MasterCard." It's not the underlying sport that's the problem, it's the show.

the op explicitly mentions sports,

Fair. I was responding to comments without re-reading the OP.

The rest of us will continue enjoying our delicious neighborhood barbecue, eating the best food, partying with the best-looking women, and dancing to the best music.

Acknowledging that none of those things are sourced from their home countries. "We won't go back because our food, women, and music are awful."

Yes you will.

You never mentioned sports in any of your comments. There were two possibilities:

1. A zoomer who never knew anything but streaming and/or watched everything on a phone.
2. Someone who can't go with out his niggerball fix.

I apologize for giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Edit:

Maybe my old age

Sorry. I missed that the first time. My mistake. Good luck. I hope Tyrone scores all the points.

Download a "file" which contains the media. The "file" resides on your device and you can play it whenever you want.

There's no excuse for someone posting on this board not to pirate.

Nothing worth pirating.

The only thing that's not stereotypically creepy reddit autist about this is that the list isn't sorted.

Didn't realize there was a NGNL movie.

For once, something useful has come from the whining of dub watchers.

From what I can tell, Form I-129 is also what's used for requesting extensions. It's still bad obviously, but the number doesn't necessarily represent inflow.

But Monty Python? What are you going to summon? A dead parrot? The Minister of Silly Walks?

A rabbit. With deathtouch, obviously.

Edit: It was less interesting. They're just reprints of existing cards with new names. For example they did Birds of Paradise as both a European and an African Swallow. They stuck entirely to Holy Grail, so it's more thematically aligned than most the tie-in shit. But MTG was on life support and then finished themselves off with fucking black Aragorn.
