It was difficult, but not impossible to get one at launch. Prices on the secondhand market are also not as inflated as we saw with the PS5 launch or even the original Switch.

I managed to get one preordered and felt lucky in doing so but I think I would have managed to get one in person had I not gotten a preorder.

It was nowhere near just as bad as other launches. Not even close.

By 2050 due to climate change? I don’t think so.

There will be disruption, but collapse due primarily to climate change is further away than 20 years.

Why don’t you want us to have weird dinosaurs?

It’s interesting because virtually none of that anti-Irish sentiment exists on the West Coast. Someone of fair complexion here is considered “white”, full stop.

Why do you dislike the Switch 2?

Is all AI-generated content considered slop?

What about retirement? Not continuing to save for retirement during your 20s and 30s is a recipe for absolute disaster for long-term stability. What about saving for a down payment for a house?

“Boomers” don’t like this because it seems incredibly short-sighted.

Umberto Eco’s third tenet of fascism: The cult of action for action’s sake.

“Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation.”

Hence the desire for SteamOS.

Hate to defend them, but that’s not really an accurate portrayal of what happened in 2024.

Biden should have announced he wasn’t running and allowed the primary process to play out. If he hadn’t, then the DNC should have overridden him. It’s unbelievable that they didn’t anticipate or care that Trump would win again.

We desperately need electoral reform. There’s no issue with moderates existing. The issue is that currently the choice is either moderates or fascists. And the fascists are quite adept at portraying the moderates as authoritarian communists.

That’s OP’s claim.

No it’s not.

OP’s claim is that cults give nicknames. Not that all entities that give nicknames are cults.

But your second statement makes me realize that you likely have an inherent bias that is preventing you from seeing the logic involved.

Of course not. It is your interpretation that having a nickname implies cult membership that is the logical fallacy.

The argument is:

• If CULT, then NICKNAME
• i.e. If X, then Y

Your interpretation seems to be:

• If NICKNAME, then CULT
• i.e. If Y, then X

Which is the logical fallacy of affirming the consequent.

LOGICAL FALLACY - AFFIRMING THE CONSEQUENT.

If X, then Y does not imply if Y, then X.

Motivation on this one was supposedly anti-population increase and anti-IVF. Doesn’t sound like your typical right-wing terrorist.

What’s with the hair (hair?) being blurry/out of focus on the insect’s head? Looks like the fibers on all the legs are sharp. I can’t really make sense of what is happening there.

No, we knew it was fascism then too.

Sounds like a happy retirement.

This has got to be in a chintzy tourist town.
