For the life of me I can’t figure out how this is a decisive topic. What is the argument against it? The only thing I can even imagine is people don’t want their tax dollars going to feeding children? But I mean, is whether or not it is a good endeavor to feed children really a tough nut to crack?

When walz was picked for VP I noticed one of the talking points Fox News had AGAINST him was that he pushed for free food in schools. Why the hell is that a bad thing??

He already has my full support

Just wait until the tick tockers and twitch streamers and YouTubers all grow up and become politicians. It’s coming faster than you think. Fidias just got elected to the European parliament in Cypress. If you are lucky enough to not know who that is all you have to know is he is a very annoying YouTuber as of… well now still. Its inevitable that we’ll have a Mr. Beast type presidential candidate pretty soon. I have zero doubt.

For real. My dream is just to know I’m not a car accident, broken bone, random sickness, or mild rolled ankle from complete and utter financial ruin. I can’t even imagine that kind of security.

I haven’t seen a moat in at least the last 100 years

This is a you problem pal. I personally have a moat defense system installed around my home and also around each individual room within the home with draw bridges for isolation in case of emergency. Safety is just common sense.

I mean I’d argue there’s some serious room to help out the consumer since the price of cars has been outpacing inflation pretty handily since around 2014 (and been beating it into a bloody pulp since 2020). There is some insanely obvious price gouging going on when the average price of a new car in 2024 is over 49k. There is room for BOTH higher wages and at least semi reasonable car prices for the American consumer. In my eyes if you clearly aren’t willing to help me as an everyday clearly struggling American today, then goooo right ahead and kiss my ass as I buy foreign if it’s cheaper.

It’s like catching a little kid in a lie and they just keep on making up more and more hilarious crap to cover the initial lie. Each lie builds on itself requiring a bigger, more ridiculous lie to cover it up and before you know it, you went from who ate the missing yogurt to now the sky is a glass dome, the sun is a giant flashlight that the government turns on and off and the moon only glows because of magical glow worms that live on its surface

TAKE THAT!!!

I haven’t played nearly all of these but the ones I have played are absolutely dynamite. I suspect this is a killer list

lol i didn’t edit my comment. If by edit you mean i “misquoted” the parent comment then i suppose you’re technically right. Let me fix it, “it’s typically $20-30k for solar panels on my roof, only.” i really don’t think it’s very different than “20-30k only”. I understand it’s still expensive… that’s kinda exactly my point. But saying something is “only” $20-30k is just pretty funny to me cause i’m a poor lol.

Thanks for the info! this makes me feel a bit better about swallowing the fat price point if the numbers work out. I’m hoping maaaaybe i can DIY some of it too as I’ve done decent amount of electrical work but i think hooking solar up to my home and having a standby battery and all that stuff may be out of my ability. Also, hearing about your HOA makes me so angry. We only recently got our HOA to overturn the same dumb rule in my neighborhood. So annoying…

Yeah I get that. The problem is (at least around where I live) is they don’t give you 25 years to pay it off. I need to take out a loan to pay it back pretty quickly and I’m paying with interest so it changes things a little. I also can’t find any one that can do it for under like 50k which sucks. At least not yet.

I’m hoping that prices drop and the subsidies get a little more helpful or something. But right now I just can’t figure out a way to afford it. It’s just too expensive. Do you have them by any chance?

“20-30k only”… Lmao

I mean I get that it’s a hell of a lot less than 100k but I don’t have that kinda money just laying around

That’s not quite how this works tho. Microsoft doesn’t make games. Sony doesn’t make games. The only exception is Nintendo but even they outsource a ton of devopment to studios like 1-up studios, monolith soft, retro studios etc. These companies just make a console that plays games and then they try to buy rights to good games or studios so they can make their games exclusive to that console to bolster sales. Sure, sony and microsoft could pour tons and tons and tons of money into creating their own studios i guess that make their own branded games but they have decided to focus on hardware sales instead. This is especially true for microsoft where the xbox is just a small part of the business where the PC market is their focus.

From a business standpoint, it makes 10000% more sense to just try and acquire other businesses that do the work under you and you just publish their games. Which is why nintendo, sony, and microsoft all try to do it so much. I mean Sony alone has bought 14 development studios since last year.

This whole thing has confused the ever loving balls out of me. Xbox and Microsoft having been getting MURDERED over the last few years and ridiculed by pretty much everyone for one reason and one reason only, they have no games. Why get an Xbox? PlayStation and Nintendo have all the good exclusives. Xbox has nothing.

Now, Microsoft goes out and buys up some IP’s and studios that have games they can make exclusive if they want (even tho they’ve said over and over they won’t for the ones that currently aren’t console exclusives but we’ll see on that one). So, for the first time in pretty much forever they’ll have the opportunity for console exclusives other than Halo and now everyone is complaining that they’ll make the games console exclusives. It’s like the biggest damned if you do, damned if you don’t for them lol.

“Fuck Xbox they don’t have any good exclusives.”

Microsoft goes out and gets good exclusives

“Fuck Xbox they’re making the good games exclusive.”

No… No they don’t lol.

I’m confused… who is taking issue? The only reply I see to the comment is yours and it has 6 upvotes and 0 downvotes. Are certain replies blocked by my instance maybe?

Throw some good books my way! I’m always on the lookout

This article is bogus. It doesn’t even mention the power or thoughts and prayers once!

Lol the top comment after this is “me first”
