Oreos aren't even real oreos since the 90s (I think?) when they switched from using lard to some disgusting "plant based" garbage to make the cream, in order for them to be "kosher". Puke.

I mean manipulating the entirety of a platform's payouts to pay some meh looking Asian thot to get with you is pretty retarded, even if you personally have the money. He could have just paid her directly, which would be significantly less retarded.

National Socialist Germany was less socialist than post-New Deal America ever has been, and especially less than post-1964 America.

Tariffs are added on. So you have a 25% tariff, you'd be paying +25% of the cost of the item. If you have a 150% tariff you'd be paying +1.5x the cost of the item.

100000x funnier than anything SNL has done in decades.

Edit: This is true not because this skit was very funny, but just because SNL is that unfunny.

Precision machining still exists in America, it's just all focused towards aerospace and weapons manufacturing.

Apple would simply have to pay such people a wage competitive with what they receive from aerospace and weapons production. Which would be a lot but not hit the bottom line of an individual iPhone that much given that it's mostly to do with people who have experience setting up automated factories, CAD/CAM programming etc, rather than producing a single unit of whatever.

The article is also dumb given that they're pretending the unit cost of an iPhone is $3000 rather than accurately understanding that the actual cost is vastly less and Apple simply massively overcharges, and could take a hit to their profit margin while onshoring production, or (more likely) offset the cost to their users and it'd be more like $3500 or $4000 rather than $30000 (ridiculous made up number with nothing backing it, obviously).

Comedy movies have basically been dead for over a decade now. Aside from random independent ones that pop up once in a blue moon, there are no big budget comedies that are actually funny and haven't been for years.

You can't really make them properly when you have to ignore 50 elephants in the room to make fun of Drumpf or something or do a phoned in romantic comedy slopfest disguised as an actual comedy. Same reason South Park's crash out 2016 election season that ignored all the many funny things happening around Hillary Clinton was a massive flop and basically killed their show.

One way to make sure it's not installed is to find it in the browser play store, if it says "install" it's not installed.

This video is both exactly what I expected out of Avowed and exactly why I didn't want it even if it hadn't been targeted toward the Concord/Veilguard "audience" (all 700 of them).

Reposting my comment from c/Gaming about the video:

I feel like Obsidian always took the wrong lessons from TES/Bethesda Fallout, namely that people want a linear story with some fairly shallow sandbox RPG stuff, rather than what they should be focusing on which is a systems based game with a story on top of it, a medieval fantasy immersive sim essentially.

Outer Worlds was like this as well, where it's clear they seem to ignore that TES/Beth Fallout are very much games that have many systems which combine to be more than the sum of their parts. Individually they may not be make or break for players, but removing them leaves the player without the experience of the agency they gain by having them all.

It's telling that their best game is the one where they didn't design the mechanics of the game and were able to execute their story on top of the framework that Bethesda built.

All that and they'll blame Americans for every bit of it as well.

The "somewhere else" is going to be the US, though. Israel announced (without any pushback) their intention to send the entire population of Gaza to live in the US on the taxpayer's dole last year. And they won't be living in ghettos, but 4 star hotels with $10k/mo paychecks like every other "refugee" from the third world.

I remember their "evidence" was just some posts they got after the seizure of the servers.

Progression assumes expanding your character into having followers, servants, slaves, minions etc. Not too many games have formal rules for taking territory and mass warfare and generalship. You can tax your followers or if you're a cleric you can power up by gaining worshippers for your god.

Ah that's awesome, I'm actually doing something similar for my (PC) co-op RPG in terms of gaining power over time, rather than just straight "superhero" damage/magic power.

Bad sign that they have to change it in the first place lol.

Edit: Didn't realize this was in reference to an old game rather than one in development.

Do you have any favorite rules/systems from it you haven't seen from other games (not having any specific answer isn't a knock against the system, which I plan to get regardless, just curious)?

I love the oldschool look and feel of ACKS from what I've seen of it.

Nawww, Brown Hillary the CFR member would never lie about her "totally legitimate change of heart 2 months before the election" to gain power and enact the policies she always agreed with for decades prior, what are you, some kind of conspiracy theorist!?

Just a guess but I bet the regulations they're talking about are probably related to mining necessary elements for semiconductor production. Antimony, cobalt, coltan (columbite-tantalite), and more are all used and require mining operations that can (if not done properly without proper mitigation and safety) produce toxic byproducts and runoff into the environment.

I don't really trust "American" (increasingly not actually) corporations to do it, but it's immaterial since they are mostly banned from mining at all.

The fabrication plants would require some billions but the real reason it never happens is that it would cost some politicians and corporate execs profits in the near term as supply chains were figured out to shift it back to American production.
