It’s just a large demographic…
They need bodies at this point, any bodies.
So they’re aiming at one of the largest demographics for younger generations.
0.01% of video gamers, is more people than 0.01% of all tiddlywinks players.
It doesn’t matter how well it connects, it’s just a large demo that watches a bunch of YouTube videos and will see the ads.
"Look, America is founded on free enterprise and capitalism,” said Bill Essayli, the first assistant United States attorney for the central district of California, during the press conference. “Anyone who attacks our values, our way of life, our system, which provides the best goods and services to the most people, we’re gonna come after aggressively.”
Well…
That guy’s a fucking idiot
No rationale person believes any of that shit.
Intertanko is saying this…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Association_of_Independent_Tanker_Owners
They’re third party shippers and if tankers have to pay, that’s their profits.
But the oil companies are gonna pay it anyways, be ause they get the increased profits from the price of oil.
…
It’s not embarrassing to still be using any Meta product?
It’s like being worried because you recognized the guy in front of you at the checkout line at the dildo emporium as your priest…
It would be awkward if he turns around, but he’s got a shopping cart of dildos too, how is he gonna judge?
At the same time, people drastically overestimate how big of a deal it would be…
Someone could always just stop buying games on there.
And if it did “go away” and people lost their games, they think how much they’ve spent on games over decades, and not how much it would cost to replace what they still play.
Out of all the real life horrible shit going on, very few people have the longevity of Valve as a priority.
It’s not 100% safe but at this point it’s more likely to be here in 20 years than the country it’s based in.
But besides all that, I don’t think you know what the word “monopoly” means if you think steam is one.
They’re all gonna start claiming they have “too good to release” versions…
Because everything they release sucks.
But if they never let anyone not financially invested even see the “good one” then no one can say it’s actually shit.
It doesn’t matter if it works, it matters if it raises stock price. So eventually we’ll see them just not release it, it could only hurt the stock price.
Netflix had an amazing show about that, but cancelled it like a week after season 1 premiered.
https://time.com/7317998/billionaires-bunker-ending-explained/
Tldw:
Billonaires think the world is ending and scamper to a bunker.
Twist is that the world isn’t ending, people fucked over by billionaires decided to stage a fake apocalypse and use AI to impersonate them and steal all their money.
And no one cares about the wealthy outside of immediate family, so no one asks questions.
I think it wasn’t just stealing the money, but immediately using it to actually help people.
I’d love to see his legal defense be:
I threw it at the gate because it was just a message. If I wanted to kill him I’d have _____.
Cuz like…
Realistically throwing a moltov at a (presumably) metal gate isn’t the same as attempted murder.
If I was on a jury, that’d be enough for me to say “not guilty” at least.
OP posted an authorization mouthpiece from one of the countries with the least press freedoms on the entire planet…
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/trt-world/
I didn’t give them a click, but I’m sure the whole article is bullshit
tells conservative social media commentator Andrew Callaghan
What fucking idiot thinks Channel 5 is right wing?!
Answer:
The mouthpiece for a fascist authorarian apparently…
In 2024, Reporters Without Borders ranked Turkey 158th in the world for press freedom among 180 countries. According to Reporters Without Borders, “The witch hunt waged by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government against its media critics has come to a head since an abortive coup in July 2016. A state of emergency has allowed the authorities to eliminate dozens of media outlets with the stroke of a pen, reducing pluralism to a handful of low-circulated and targeted publications.”
In review, when reporting non-Turkey-related news, TRT World reports with minimally loaded language and utilizes credible sources such as Vox, Moscow Times, NY Times, Washington Post, Tass and republishes credible news agencies such as Reuters.
TRT World reflects a pro-government tone in its national coverage, as seen through its analysis of the upcoming elections. Most national coverage heavily sided with the ruling party and less coverage of the main opposition party candidate. Further, the UK’s Spectator states TRT World is “President Erdogan’s mouthpiece to woo the west.” In short, this is a pro-government propaganda source.
Although TRT World presents relatively low biased coverage of USA news, such as “Trump cancels summit with Kim; North Korea still wants talks,” they source through large blocks of quotes without providing any links to the sources.
Glory Road is begging for an adaption, even tho a bunch of other stories have ripped off the premise. Like, it’ll be a “new” story to you, but you’re going to constantly see shit that other writers ripped off in the 60 years since it was published.
It’s Heinlein pulp SciFi too, so you can legit read it all in a day.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glory_Road
If you like that and want more, he wrote a shit ton of novels about “Lazarus Long”. Like, true old school 1960s sci Fi where the books weren’t telling a single coherent story, he just had to keep pumping out pages so he kept coming up with new stories.
There’s also “Stranger in a Strange land” which was known as “The hippie bible” during the height of the counter-culture movement, despite being about a man raised by Martians who returns to Earth.
Just anything by Heinlein really
Look at OPs profile and you’ll quickly see all the massive issues with their great plan of “4chan with absolutely zero moderation”.
OP’s profile:
Working on Plebbit
For those who don’t know, that was a shitty hard right wing social media that kept talking vaguely about how it was like crypto and torrenting.
For years now people have been spamming it to the threadiverse and trying to trick people into joining.
If you go to this website:
It lists 5chan as inspiration…
And people are upvoting and promoting this entirely unmoderated chan board because two seconds of research is too difficult…
Like, c’mon people, critical thinking is important now more than ever
Quick edit:
And to be clear this is the exact same project OP always spams, they just keep changing the name of it. It used to be accessible over the web tho, which allowed everyone to see the fucking horrendously racist, bigoted, and outright illegal shit they want people to be able to post.
It’s not just fuel costs…
Their food supplies are adulterated at “single ingredient” level.
Like, Chinese street food used to be infamous for being adulterated, and so is any “street food” to an extent.
But in Indian cities all the food is adulterated because all the food is adulterated before it comes to a major city.
It’s hard to find good sources about how bad it is, because Modi doesn’t want people talking about how bad one of his government agencies is.
But it’s not like they’re just fraudulently slapping an “organic” label where it shouldn’t be. It’s like a whole truck of grain comes in mixed with pebbles thru out. Or a milk truck that had a bunch of cheap detergent poured in to cover up how watered down it was already.
When there’s zero government regulation, it starts looking a lot like drug dealing where every product gets “cut” at every step of distribution.
But even if you buy it straight off the truck as soon as it pulls into a major city, someone’s already stepped on it.
I think those shady practices are responsible for a lot of the cancer rates currently hidden by India’s pollution.
The trick is not settling for geriatric neoliberals who won’t stop talking about how fondly he remembers “the good old days” when Republicans and him smoked cigars, drank whiskey, and conspiracied to prolong school segregation…
Or about how nothing could every make him stop supporting a far right ethnistate currently committing genocide…
Like, most Americans want to hold these asshats accountable. The problem is prior DNCs were rigging primaries. The good news is the modern DNC isn’t pulling that type of shit already, and we’ve been seeing the gains for a minute
It was less than an hour…
The ceasefire included Lebanon, and I’m pretty sure Israel just kept firing thru the ceasefire start, then just lied and said it didn’t include Lebanon.
trump wants this to be “his war” but the truth is Bibi just dragged him (and us) into it. And he has no interest in peace.
So trump has no power to “end” this war, the absolute best he can do is just leave and hope that eventually Iran decides to open the straite up.
But he has no negotiating power, because there’s nothing he can do to stop Israel
What likely happened was Iran and trump agreed it included Lebanon…
And Bibi gave some bullshit response that trump took as agreement because that’s what he wanted to hear.
Like, Bibi has a long track record of “agreeing to a truce” and then just pretending it doesn’t matter that he never stops.
Any idiot could see this coming, but trump isn’t just any idiot, so he’s genuinely shocked.
Meh.
It’s a twice a decade racing game…
There doesn’t need to be huge changes, people like the game for what it is, it just needs occasional updates.
If this game out a year after Forza 5, then criticism for lack of changes is valid.
The age old question for every pro AI/crypto post on social media:
Did OP fall for a grift, or trying to grift others?
It’s always one of the two
Step 1: have monies
