Only half of the profits, seemingly.
I can already hear Zelinskikkky kvetching about how a 25% is too much, 12.5% is robbing him, they are a broken country and that 6.25% is a lot to them, and they need that 3.13% to feed the starving Jewish widows Ukrainian widows. Anyway, they’ll need that 50% Biden promised them.
 
So what is and is not progressive propaganda? Obvisoly the original doom isnt and even the latter games I’d say are clean. Portal is also clean, Minecraft is a sandbox game so it can be either clean or dirty.
Making a hard distinction is difficult because of the subjectivity regarding what is or isn't progressivism. Just look at how the people who threw a fit about pronouns in Starfield think black muslim scientists and homosexuals in kingdom come deliverance 2 is "based".

Half life 2 isn't grating, but with its focus on scientists saving the world with science, the Vance family being what it is, Alyx being the poster girl for strong independent female video game character, I can definitely see where that connects with what would come later

And I don't hate Half life, same way being anti religious doesn't mean you need to hate Halo for having blatant bible references and the main character being a messianic figure

KCD1 is my forever bae

In that timeline, Henry was never molested as a child and didn’t become fixated on penises

So, progressivism is when people act like faggotry comes from a place of love instead of compulsion, like your appreciation of another person by itself can alter your disgust response to other people’s dicks
 
And Zelynsky had a meltdown about that? Fuck him, Fuck the Ukies. Unironically if Russia were to share half the profits from Ukie minerals with US i would let him fucking have it
They're giving us a deal on aluminum, presumably from the lands they just took from the ukies. Trump is getting something from both sides.
 
I have a feeling the Trump administration will continue to do what they have been doing. Ignore him. Literally the only recourse he has if they do is hope congress impeaches Trump. Trump will make noise that its "playing out in the courts" until it hits the Supreme Court and then Roberts get asked if he likes the Executive and Legislature going along with Marbury vs Madison.

Spoiler alert: They won't impeach over this. "We impeached Trump because he stopped paying for Tranny drag shows!" is gonna go fucking nowhere. Roberts knows the Supreme Court is on a thread, and that last thread will be cut if the Republican base turns on the Supreme Court too.

Judges have historically been cowards because they understand their power is largely illusory and only exists because certain people go along with it. The whole "never give an order you know wont be obeyed" saying that every leader should live by. The left used to understand the rules of power like this.
 
So the on paper value of the gold is nothing, how about we look at the number compared to current market values and we get $4,348,620,060,000, or about 1/9th of the total us debt

This is the top 5 countries by gold reserve listed in tons or tonnes if you suck and are British

Lets do some qwik maffs

8133 tons with 2000 pounds to a ton

8133x2000= 16,266,000 pounds of gold

16 ounces per pound so 16,266,000x 16= 260,256,000 ounces of gold (an auspicious number btw)

Now we know that US gold is pegged at 42 dollars an ounce making it substantially less but lets dream big ok lets see what is street value would be at current market rate

1740521215385.png

Gold is just shy of 3k an ounce so lets round up to be generous

260,256,000x 3,000= $780,768,000,000 worth of total gold held in the ENTIRE united states

Not even one trillion dollars

Computer whats the US federal debt at?

So our debt is only about 20-30 times the value of all the gold on earth. No biggie

Thank you, mysterious SMO poster. Please complain more about Ukrainian Nazis is a thread that isn't this one.

Pretty manageable Ngl

How about for clawbacks, we seize Samantha Powers’ estate? And everyone else of course
 
Most likely there is no treatment or hope for those who got the clotshot and there never will be. Most of the people who took it will become terminally ill and/or die.
Thank you so so so much for saving my life here, Literally. Now It's certain I'm gonna make it and be completely fine.

Idk they might take away his French retirement chateau that would let him sell shitty wine to redditors
 
i'm shocked too, the iphone 4 lost the ability to make calls or get apps from the app store about 4 years ago. its a phone that literally can't be used to make calls now. why the fuck is your dad using it?
He stopped using it in 2017-ish I think, maybe 2018. Not because he wanted a new phone but I think the flash memory in it started dying and causing weird errors

The US debt simply cannot be fixed under a democratic government. As sad as it is to say, we'd literally need a Pinochet figure nuke half of government spending and simply force power long enough that the debt dwindles to something managable.
 
Pretty sure if I kill myself, it won't change the fact that replacing an iPhone battery is trivially easy for someone who is not retarded (i.e. not you).
What pisses me off is that they make everything else about using them easy for retarded people (while making power users cling to older, less locked down devices like the fucking One Ring) but, like you said, things like changing a battery aren't easily done by the normie masses. It's not just Apple, although the trend is mostly on them and their users, in my opinion. The "iphonification" of android has resulted in the same thing in that ecosystem, much to my own chagrin. And the same thing for Windows and "macification." The Windows UI is a disjointed mess, because of their retarded, gradual, piecemeal approach to making a "mac" or "phone" like user experience.

Everything must endure enshitification, for the benefit of the retarded. Nothing can be maintained, throw it away and buy a new one (planned obsolescence, profit isn't printed when you don't need a new device every year or two). Hell, remember fixing your own car or washing machine? Remember 100k mile auto warranties? Fuck no, you don't, if you aren't old enough.

Playskool colors and rounded corners so the kids dont hurt themselves. When they break their toys, they can just buy more.
