Bakery/the smell bread makes while it’s rising.

Ah, she must have also seen Bend Her - the Futurama episode where bender changes genders to win at the Olympics (and subsequently woos calculon).

I mean, the issue is these lines aren’t as concrete anymore. Is the Ps5 a console or a locked down pc?

Hell, this is probably controversial, but Apple and Google actually have the monopoly on PC gaming. Android and Ios make the most money out of any gaming ecosystem.

I think the issue is, that if we’re going to call steam a monopoly (and maybe they are), then we’ve got to call Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo monopolies.

What I don’t want to see is legal attacks against steam while letting worse behavior off the hook.

• Star wars force awakens.
• Tangled
• Mulan
• Transformers
• Avatar (Blue people)

Could probably come up with more.

When I hear this kinda response, it just makes me find the claims more believable.

Like whenever this admin comes out with this kind of rhetoric, it usually means the accusation is true.

What shooters does she recommend, as I’ve had a hard time finding games with good multi-player and movement/controls as Cod (in my personal opinion).

You had all democrats vote for it, with a couple Republicans flipping (the typical bunch with Rand Paul and Murkowski). Then you have all the Republican voting against.

The only notable exceptions are Ted Cruz not voting (don’t know why) and Fetterman voting with Republicans. But at this point Fetterman might as well switch parties.

Note: Rand Paul pretty much always votes against anything not isolationist (the one true libertarian), so this is typical. Alaska/Murkowski is always a bit odd and her voting with Democrats happens fairly frequently.

How is this not bigger news!

I have to listen to weeks about some random podcaster getting shot, but a judge whose made judgements against trump has their house burned down and everyone is all quite?

Yeah, it’s possible that the group who would buy gamepass arent the norm and they’d normally buy 10+ games. But even then, they’d have to be buying 10+ games a year within the gamepass library to be canabilizing sales.

Either way, they picked a really bad time given the state of the world to be raising prices by 50%.

I feel like this is a piece Microsoft put out there to try to make the price increase feel justified.

I have to imagine they’re around the cut even point with $240/year for gamepass (given that’s four “AAA” games a year). With the price hike to $360/year, they’re assuming the average user would normally buy 6 games per year at full price. I just don’t think that’s the average gamer, but I could be wrong.

I may be wrong, but I believe you’re talking about two different types of legislation that have different rules.

The Republicans have the votes for a simple majority, but I don’t think this bill counts as a reconciliation and would require new changes to the senate’s rules (which may or may not be possible).

I could be wrong, but if I was, why haven’t they just pushed it forward?

This is a funding bill, which is different than the budget/reconciliation process. He needs 60 votes.

Yeah, he’s already played the mass RIF hand. He’s going to try to make it happen with/without a shutdown.

Also, anyone slightly aware of things knows a shutdown doesn’t cause mass layoffs, that’s all Republicans.

To be fair, I’ve read that this was his fear with the last shutdown standoff. Now that they’re basically destroying the federal government with/without a shutdown he seems more committed to not caving in.

Not sure if that’s what we’ll actually see, but seems a little more hopeful.

The issue is, the more of the federal government he replaces, the less people/institutions there are to block him.

This only works for so long.

Is there anywhere to watch the videos that sparked this issue?

I feel like you can never find the source material behind incidents like these, meaning everyone just goes crazy based on vibes.

Yeah I feel like doing it and forcing the federal government to bring up a lawsuit would be worth the effort.

Cause they’re also trying to combat inflation caused by tarrifs.

While lowered interest rates can make money cheaper and spur the economy, tariffs are causing inflation to tick up again. So we’ve got a slowing economy with rising inflation, basically a position the Fed is I’ll equipped to deal with.

In summaru everyone who’s not wealthy is in for a fun time regardless of what they do.

I mean if we’re talking deaths, it’s speculated Trump’s handling of Covid resulted in hundreds of thousands of Americans dieing.

But also, look at things like the recent jobs reports and increased deficit/national debt that Trump is driving.
