“You’re not doing enough, so here’s another 10 billion in arms funding. You have to spend that in America though because I am very upset with you Bibi.”

Animation Tree was my first thought. Sounds like a death animation.

Appreciate it.

It can’t possibly be the crushing weight of capitalism that is impacting young people’s lifestyles.

There is no value considered in providing stable income to the team members. No value considered in artists honing their craft. Even if the games only had marginal profits in and of themselves, considering the cost of big budget games, there is still huge value in creating and maintaining a large IP.

I fucking hate everything about this.

I was making a jab. I’m aware of market forces, but price memory is a thing and often the true cost of production isn’t reflected in consumer pricing. Especially when an industry just decides they can keep prices where they are if not raise them, looking at you egg producers.

Not in a profit driven economy…

I picked up godot because I have been using codemonkey.com to teach my son python. Enevitably I have to help him when he gets stuck and I realized I knew alot more than I would have guessed. My point is coding isn’t as nebulous as you might think, not to say you won’t get stuck on syntaxes but it is also incredibly satisfying when you get it working.

Awesome! That’s such a great feeling, find another good tutorial and keep learning!

I’m proud of you!

This post makes me happy. Appreciate the work the Godot Foundation does and the mods of this community!

The US just tried to negotiate with Houthis over the attacks in the Red Sea, an omission admission that things aren’t going so well. Iran is in a stronger position than Houthis, I think your over estimating the US right now.

The religious extremism that became Hamas was funded and grew to power with Israeli funding.

This isn’t a conspiracy theory. Listen to former Israeli officials such as Brig. Gen. Yitzhak Segev, who was the Israeli military governor in Gaza in the early 1980s. Segev later told a New York Times reporter that he had helped finance the Palestinian Islamist movement as a “counterweight” to the secularists and leftists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah party, led by Yasser Arafat (who himself referred to Hamas as “a creature of Israel.”)

Stoked that a studio with major credit switched from Unity to Gadot. This will be the biggest release the game engine has seen and is sure to break every record. Hopefully it will make other studios seriously consider the engine and in 5 or 6 years Gadot will be the equivalent to Blender.

Nah this is the outcome they were looking for. Mission accomplished.

I’m not arguing against Ukraine, it’s fucking dumb and a terrible strawman. These two situations couldn’t be more different.

Russian invaded Ukraine in 2014 and nobody did shit, of course they were going to do it again.

Do you know what the One China policy is? That’s American policy. Do you think a country can invade itself? Do you think it’s worth it to go to war with China over Taiwan?

You have no clue what your talking about and your strawman has been repeated ad nauseum in this thread.

Uh, I’m gonna have to stop you. Which nations used an inclusive model?

What do you consider public housing? Is section 8 not public housing? You realize people in section 8 still pay rent.

Are you aware of what community land trusts are? It’s how I was able to become a home owner in my sleepy little hometown of Seattle. Government builds/buys the house, sells it at below market prices to people pre-approved for the program and its first come first sold. You as a homebuyer agree that the house will only be sold to other approved buyers in the program at a fixed rate (there is a small equity increase each year lived in the home to cover upkeep and improvements). The city technically owns the land my house is on, but idgaf because my mortgage is about $1,500 cheaper per month than what a unit of equal size would cost us to rent on the open market. I had no chance in hell of buying. This is the way housing should be for everyone, I had friends forced to move away because their previous years income was literally $1,000 over qualifying for the same program. So when I read “Beijing would impose severe restrictions on who could buy these apartments and would forbid purchasers from trading their units on the open market.” it sounds exactly like the program that has given my family a home. That’s fucking rad and I wish the US would do the same to expand public housing to 30% of the market, it would do a lot to negate the insanity that is our housing market.

So that is how public housing can be rented or sold and still be public housing.

Does it stabilize the market, yes that’s obviously the point. However it’s not a bail out ála US too big to fail. The businesses that are insolvent will deal with the consequences and the government gets rock bottom prices.

China is spending 8x more than the US on housing, while we are spending billions funding a genocide, while our homeless problems are magnitudes more than 8x China’s and your still trying to justify the war mongering of this “article” with their real estate market. This is not the problem the media is making it out to be.

Council on Foreign Relations

Co-chairs: Susan M. Gordon (25 years CIA) and Michael G. Mullen (17th chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff)

No way could this be propaganda dawg!

You dismiss the counter argument because you haven’t heard of it?

What the authorities refer to as “a new model” would replace the old emphasis on ownership with more rentals and use government funds to buy up bankrupt properties so that in time the government’s role in real estate would rise from 5% of the market at present to 30%.

Beijing will commit the equivalent of $280 billion a year for five years to buy up distressed private residential real estate developments and repurpose them as rental units. The plans also mention building still more units, some subsidized rentals, for a total of six million new units in 35 cities over the next five years. Beijing would impose severe restrictions on who could buy these apartments and would forbid purchasers from trading their units on the open market.
