Guys, it doesn’t look good. They basically just spit-shind it.

I’m still going to get it 🏴‍☠️ but I’m not holding my breath.

Nothing too drastic will occur. It never does. Tariffs will go up. Things will get more expensive. Rich people will be taxed less the middle class and poor people will be taxed more. There will be another wave of systemic racism perpetuating through American society.

Marijuana will become less legal. For some reason the Republicans still have a thing for weed…

The bottom line the man is 80 years old. It’s very possible that he just may step down at some point, which would probably be worse in the long run.

Israel will get significantly more support to wage genocide and Ukraine will get significantly less support to defend their own country. Trump will push for some sort of concession that Ukraine will give up some of their land and enter into some kind of agreement that they won’t request entry into NATO for a long period of time.

Longer prison sentences for relatively minor crimes…

Hardened anti-abortion rhetoric will continue to work against women simply trying to make medical decisions instead of potentially getting abortions.

Basically the same thing that’s happening now in the country. Just more of it.

The guy that tied up the wiring on the side there is looking at this photo (probably) and saying to himself: that wiring I arranged is on motherfucking mars and that’s just crazy.

Y’all realize there are three branches of US government right?

Trump commands only one. And he isn’t an actual monarch or dictator. He won’t be allowed to over step too much.

Either he’s going to be rained in or section four of the 25th amendment will be instituted.

Brother. Get a Brother.

That’s funny, in my subdivision I had to put a sign up on my door that said “no candy” and I still got multiple knocks!

(I’m a Halloween Scrooge don’t judge me)

Lol!!! This is fantastic! They shouldn’t be trying to talk them out of cancelling to begin with!

Why does anyone still use chrome!

I get twitter and reddit because of the uniqueness of the platforms but chrome is just a web browser! Any other program can be used in its stead to view the same exact websites yet people continue to use it even being stubborn about it!

Because it’s not about saving the lives of unborn babies and it never has been.

It’s about curtailing choice.

I didn’t say it was for cooking. I said measurement. That can be applied to consumption as well as in a cooking capacity.

It doesn’t make any sense to do this as a metaphor. Chocolate is typically divided into evenly sized chunks for measurement purposes, regardless of the evil practices of the chocolate industry.

The metaphor is asinine the explanation is confusing and it’s lost on almost everybody who buys this.

I have had this brand of chocolate before and it is quite good however.

There are two primary systems of law in the United States that absolutely must be reformed above any other branch or law.

Immigration and criminal justice.

These systems in the United States are archaic third world and downright discriminatory to anybody that goes through them.

They are truly terrible.

The fact that we even have such systems in place in the United States is mind-boggling.

Other countries look at us and simply call us barbarians.

Bail is an option for the courts to use to insure someone that might be a certain level of flight risk shown up to court.

It’s not 100% necessity. People can be released on their own bond commonly referred to as a “personal bond” they don’t pay anything and just promise to show up.

Has this bond system been abused as a form of oppression. Of course. We’re human after all and there are corrupt shitty judges on the bench.

But for the most part the bond system does function.

Offensive to most people. MOST PEOPLE!

This is a very good question.

I’m assuming you mean a range around $5000?

In that case there’s really not much in that specific price range.

Ranges in general can cost between 500 and 3000 dollars for a regular range you can get at your local appliance retailer. Here in the states that would be like home Depot or Lowe’s.

If you wanted more high end than that you’d have to go much higher up in price. Like past $10000. It’s a weird market for ranges.

I recommend Frigidaire for cooking appliances in general they make really good ranges. For less than $1000 dollars you can get a very decent appliance.

I work in appliance repair. My favorite appliance to fix are sub zero refrigerators. They’re easy to work on, straight forward and the company continues to support their product as far back as models from the 1970s.

Subzero makes nothing more than household appliances a thankless industry plagued by planner obsolescence and they can supply parts for their appliances longer than a medical company.

So let’s just address the meta here real quick. There was a comment on Lemmy to which I responded. In context the genesis of this comment is in reference to Ubisoft and the general state of inclusion politics in gaming today.

You are questioning the fundamental motivation as to why I have an opinion on the subject matter that is presented to me under the protest that “it’s just a game”.

I mean why even have an opinion? Why formulate thoughts? Why have any kind of discussions?

I am abreast of what is happening generally in gaming and the industry surrounding it because I’m interested in these things. I like playing video games.

I also have other interests. For example, I’m fairly good at playing the guitar, so there’s a lot of content in my social media about guitars and music.

I also find it entertaining to watch flat Earth debunking videos on YouTube to pass the time.

The reason I care about assassin’s Creed in particular is because I’ve been playing the game since the very first one. I like the franchise. I like the video games and watching it get ruined because of inclusion politics is heartbreaking.

Moreover, they already have the game. It’s already been made. Therefore I have the right to criticize it. Simply stating “it’s just a game” isn’t helpful.

I don’t care if there’s black people or women or LGBT people in video games. I could absolutely care less about that as long as it’s relevant to the game. If they’re just including it to be inclusive, then it’s a meaningless gesture. It brings down the game. It brings down the IP and it brings down the company that does it.

Furthermore, people play video games for a reason. Either it be escapism or immersion or simply to pass a small amount of time till whatever else they have to do. Seeing these inconsistencies in the game breaks that immersion it no longer becomes entertainment. It becomes a political statement which I have very little interest in when it comes to my entertainment.

You can pretend to be on your high horse all you want. I have no interest in seeing inclusion politics in my entertainment. It serves no beneficial purpose except to elevate the egos of people like you to make you feel as though something is being included.

Pure nonsense.

Also the new Star wars game which I don’t even remember the name of sucked universally. It didn’t make any money because people didn’t have any interest in it specifically and exclusively because of the inclusion politics added into the game. Also the main character is fucking ugly.

They already delayed the release due to so much negative feedback. It’s going to be a bad game. There should never have been a black person in this game at all. It’s 1600s Japan. It makes no fucking sense!

There are so many layers as to why Ubisoft is going through what it’s going through I don’t have the energy to express it here in this comment.

I can assure you, however, if they worried more about making good games and less of inclusion politics their stock would be worth a lot more than 2 bucks!

This reminds me of when IBM rejected the idea of the internet.

Disgusting.

This isn’t about being diverse. It’s about making bad games.

As a matter of fact, the new assassin’s Creed is so offensive that the Japanese government is in an uproar about it.

Ubisofts attempt to be so inclusive and sexually neutral is what’s making their games bad because they’re stifling good game design in the process.

That’s not to say that it’s not possible to make a good game while adhering to diversification and inclusion.

Hellblade and horizon zero Dawn are two excellent examples of incredibly good games that don’t expound sexism. Hell, look at destiny 2. They handle these kinds of situations perfectly!

But to simply imply people are upset because they don’t like “woke politics” is a gross over simplification of what’s happening to Ubisoft!
