GameBoy Pocket. Screen needs a swap though. Copped some sun and the display has darkened bad.

Unfortunately it depends on who’s doing it. Who’s creatively in charge and what freedom they get.

At the moment, it’s reliably bad. Even when the vision is good, it’s dominated by invested poo poo.

It’s hard to tell if it was/is logistically effective vs. everyone shitting in it because that’s trendy rn.

With knowing absolutely nothing, I can only assume it’s an excellent concept that will (unfortunately) help a lot in a broad range of situations.

At the moment, plenty of creases to iron out, but it’s not a failure and humanitarian aid can definitely bolster with it.

Gee. Would hate to be the crew meant to be returning on that thing. Was a bit of a shitshow getting up there.

It sounds like you just did, but you’re playing it off.

Do it. The attractiveness of EU cars in China has a lot to do with expression of wealth, status, and exclusivity. It’s free marketing.

Make a cheaper model aimed at the market to offset the tarrif and the logo on front will sell itself.

You gotta remember World Wars take a bit to warm up first. Skirmish here, escalation there, lots of sitting on thumbs for a while, and then everyone piles in after the rate of occupation starts to get out of hand and the aggressors show deft multi-tasking skills.

The dilution of “anger from China”.

It’s as long a running joke as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China’s_final_warning

Seriously, they could be genuine some day. Like warn the world against some major catastrophe, but we’ll assume that if China’s upset, it’s nothing to worry about or may even be something we want to happen.

Hexen to CS 1.6. We must be very similar in age. That’s basically my teens.

Red Alert was my favourite. Dial-up multiplayer with my school friend. Rarely finished a game because someone’s house got a phone call or someone picked up the phone. We both got in trouble when the first phone bills came in. Would spend about $2.50 in local calls each time tuntil the computers linked up. A $60 phone bill was savage back then for families living in government housing and struggling to pay off a base model computer.

Feels ritualistic at this point.

Bethesda does the thing; gamers and modders do the thing. Bethesda says, “Whoops!” We all laugh.

Only difference this time is it feels like 76 has been out longer than when they usually try this.

Percentages require statistical.empathy. if you find 1.5% small, scale it down to a situation you can relate to. Like when this post hits just 75 upvotes, one of those people are displaced.

All accidental, I’m sure. They just need to rein it in a little. /s

I wouldn’t be so sure. Government bailouts tend to happen because they’re almost forces to. Where the economy can suffer greater loss without the bailout. Generally, in a scenario where a company or corporation has nestled itself into something the economy is dependent on. Of course what happens after that bailout is the bad part where it often seems nothing is done to alleviate the economy’s dependency, nor is the actions of the body receiving the bailout regulated, monitored, or needing to pay it back.

I don’t know how much dire a state the US economy would be in with Boeing missing or significantly damaged, but can’t imagine it’s perceived to be as bad as the crooked banks.

Edit: Oh, wait. The military is dependent on them. Yeah, there’d be a bailout lol

Your average Lemmy user doesn’t have that level of awareness. It’s all spent on looking for opportunities to feel superior. Sorry it had to happen this way, but now you’re a pro-plastic capitalist out to fuck the environment for personal short-term gain and convenience or something… Because that’s apparently more obvious somehow.

Ah. Was wondering how a CFO could pull that off without a single whistleblower. Makes sense now.

That’s what all the baddie countries do.

Next it’ll be Team America putting Hans Blix in a shark tank.

What’s that in decibels?

Considering the offers to skilled workers currently, honestly not surprised it’s being abused. There’s quite a few places having their property bought up at the insane offers to skilled immigrants, to never actually have any of the skilled work come, making life even harder for the towns.

I know this because my asshole uncle is one of them and has a “Get in before they realise” mentality along with all the others. There’s YouTubers doing “dream house in Portugal” restos because they’ve come in as “skilled workers” ffs.

Always progress, but with a balance that can’t be exploited. In this case, the rich have once again ruined what was supposed to help communities.
