Saaaaaammmmme

Yeah, I would buy the rights to Kerbal Space Program and Dungeons and Dragons and just make it all free and make the KSP2 we all deserved. Then I’d fund a professional SCP cinematic universe, it basically has to be free because it’s a licensing mess of community creations but there are so many stories in it worthy of being part of a high budget serialized cinematic universe.

If moneys truly no object, then buy the Fallout IP, build a new engine with a creation kit that all actually works and is made with ease and stability of modding in mind and then make a high fantasy game with the same engine and let people go nuts. Downvote me if you want but I don’t think TES is inherently a good enough fantasy IP (the games have always been better than the central unique overarching plot) to be worth not just starting something new, or better yet, tie it in with the D&D IP I bought earlier.

Just the tip?

That’s not strictly true, they don’t “pay the tariff” obviously but they do have to balance profit margin and lost sales. Tariffs are likely to decrease number of sales which does hurt their bottom line, the question then is if they just take a loss in sales, cut into their profit margins trying to lower the price to the US (very unlikely the margins are nearly enough for this to be viable let alone preferable) or increase prices further to offset the lower sales. Probably will be mostly the former with raw material type goods and mostly the latter with high end finished goods.

It’s sad that you guys still think the rule of the constitution is some massive roadblock that they’ve somehow missed. They literally made an Executive Order that just says “No” to the very first sentence of the 14th amendment, do you think none of them noticed? They get to have a vote about ludicrous things, and they get to gleefully destroy the lives of any Republican who dares vote against them. Maybe it gets struck down for the time being? Who cares, the courts are packed, they can realistically just start killing people pretty soon and it’ll start with the disloyals and the true believers as needed as it always does.

You cannot logical trap nor get off on technicalities fascists. It does not matter to them, they will just do what they want anyways, all that matters is if they can crush anyone who tries to stop them.

They are pushing the boundaries of the conversation and they are testing the waters, and every time they’re pushed back on they use the limp push back to consolidate more power because nobody has been willing to actually stop them.

Perhaps but my years working for various companies that offered pensions with substantial vestment periods but which I didn’t stay at for long enough to get are wasted, because pensions usually take 10+ years to earn, whereas if I’d had 401k contributions with vestment periods usually around 1.5-5 years I’d have a decent little bit of money from those that could have grown.

Now I have the best of both worlds where I get a defined contribution of 10% on top of whatever I earn added to my 401k with just a few years to vest.

Pensions only pay out if both company and employee are a type of loyal that is simply not common anymore.

Y’know there’s this thing called Target Retirement Date ETFs right? Also, aren’t most 401ks either managed or extremely restricted towards very safe investment options?

Is this old? Is this what old feels like?

Lol, I don’t think the alchemists were planning on sharing the technique if they found it.

Easy, you have a very different idea of what the “nation” in “national security” and “national interests” is than they do.

Everyone seeing this meme and talking about Turkish delight and not talking about how they seem to think the plot of Les Mis is Jean Valjean stole a load of bread because omg, bread is so good.

They might have them but I assume they vaccinate the chickens against salmonella which the US refuses to bother with and you don’t get e coli from the inside of meat, you get it from contamination.

Salmonella can be killed at less than 140 if it’s for long enough, you can sous vide chicken reasonably safely down to 135 or maybe even push it a little lower. HOWEVER this will not be medium rare. Medium rare is 130. 135-140 are solidly medium, barely a blush of pink at that temp really.

People somehow still surprised by Switzerland being neutral on Naziism

I think it’s just really rich people, but tech CEOs are in this terminally online culture so not only does it all end up out there but they seem to feed off each other and try to bizarrely one up each other.

It is still the path of least resistance but it created it itself. It ionizes the air creating a channel for it and then makes the leap, creating a conductive conduit of plasma/ions, as air currents move that around the path of least resistance can get progressively more nuts because there’s still a path through the ionized air.

Liar liar house on fire

In case nobody’s said it yet.

I support your optimism but I seriously doubt anyone yelling the N word on Twitter is going to kick a Nazi out of bed for being too authoritarian.

Out of curiosity, what do you consider centrist with mildly right leaning views?
