Maybe I'm just a dumb retarded nigga, but uh - Isn't a life of prison a worse punishment then the death penalty? Shit, I wouldn't mind getting choked out on fun time gas compared to having to spend 87 years until the heart attack getting raped by niggers and looking at blank walls in max.
 
It's basically an open secret that the 2020 election was stolen. The amount of votes Biden got were absolutely statistically impossible not to mention that 11 million Democratic voters vanished between 2020 and 2024.
You aren't telling me anything I don't know, I saw it live on this thread. My question is more if Musk has produced a proper smoking gun that can't be easilly handwaved away.
 
my favorite part is, these people under biden are so bad off that 100 dollars extra on a thing that should be a luxury 'saved for' purchase is absolutely devastating to them. they cannot comprehend that a corporation might not care if they can't afford to buy the latest and greatest console, or that the cost of the upgraded internals may actually have bumped up production costs. but instead of blaming the president who put them in a financial situation where they cannot even save an extra 100 dollars in a reasonable time frame to buy a console, they blame the guy who's working to try and fix that very economic state. it's just more proof in my eyes that most people talking about the tariffs do not even know what the fuck a tariff IS, let alone how they work, who they're applied to, what goods are being tariffed, or anything else about it.
I'm just happy to see these retards fake-crying about the economy now. I hope they eat shit.
Tariff speech just started:

I remember back in 2000 The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask was $59.99 (which would be $110 now). I’m actually quite surprised games aren’t $100+ already

also all Nintendo does is fucking rely on the nostalgia of aging millennials releasing the same game over and over including remakes of old games, it would be better if people gave them less money
Even though the video game industry is technically a lot bigger, individual games typically sell less than they used to, so prices for games have been going down in real dollars.
 
was she talked into doing a dance called "the bump"?
She was at an office party in Denver I believe, and she was sitting on a table. He sat on the table behind her and the story to pass on to her children was thus born.
I would guess it's something like Nixon not pushing getting screwed against JFK?
I just did what I should've and searched it. It's kvetching about tariffs and Europoors being sad that they were being told to fuck off and handle their own shit.
 
retarded non-economists who don't understand tariffs and just focus on their nintendork games think that the very successful, very powerful, bigly working trump tariffs are causing higher prices for their video games.

in case you don't know, the vast majority of US tariffs and taxes on japan are on automaking and aluminum.

Switch 2 was gonna be expensive no matter what. It wasn't gonna be $299 like the switch. Just wait a few years for the price to some down once scales of economy kick in.

Blame Nintendo for putting in a 1080p hdr 120hz screen into the system. FFS, the steam deck oled only has a 90hz screen.

Bunch of fucking retards, Nintendo is overpricing the international market because they are underselling the domestic market in order to maintain a stranglehold on the Japan video game market. Tariffs don't effect electronics between the U.S and Japan, and even if it did that doesn't explain why they're selling digital games for 80 dollars, because tariffs 100% don't effect digital releases.
 
They keep saying "physical games" so I'm guessing buying them on the nintindo store won't incur the tariffs. Worse comes to worse, just pirate them and play them on a switch emulator like a real nerd.
Speaking with a coworker today, he told me there is something funky about the physical cartridges now where some games won't release physical except to be a "game-key card" to download the game from the Nintendo store. They don't contain any game data and knowing Nintendo, that probably means you can't share it or resell it as that key will already be tied to your Nintendo account.

So perhaps Nintendo just wants to get out of the physical cartridge business altogether now, kill game reselling/sharing entirely.

The state of the modern American left is such that it wouldn't matter if they had actual video evidence of fraud and documented communications detailing every level of the fraud, 80%+ of Dems would NUH UHHHHH FASCIST FAKE NEWS and would ignore it. You may convince some of the moderates but they aren't going to have the will to do anything about it. As for the left, the truth is entirely secondary to their confirmation bias and feels.

I dunno what "smoking gun" would be good enough.

I've been thinking about this since the 2024 election but the sheep of the Left can now just refuse to believe anything and they will be supported by a large chunk of society.

Even if Musk came out with something undeniable do you think that would change their minds? That the MSM wouldn't bleat on and on about disinformation and hoaxes. There are just far too many people who would choose to not believe and would be able to find others to re-enforce that false belief.

Let's say some DNC bigwig comes out and just openly sez "yes we cheated and here's how" what would happen?

"he's a Rethuglican plant!"
"he's been blackmailed by Trump"
"this is all a set up"
"it's all disinformation and lies"
and so on ad infinitium

I really do think that a disturbingly large section of America is now so lost to their internal biases that no matter what you showed them, no matter who told them what they would choose to not believe it. And it's not just like that on the Left.

The MSM would support them, the media would support them. Where ever they turned they could find other people who would agree with them. News articles that said what they wanted to read. The bubble is so big now you can literally escape into from political reality.

I dunno maybe it's just my cynicism but there is such a gulf between the true believers and reality that they are lost forever to their beliefs.
 
Yeah Reagan was so great causing the country to become filled to the brim with spics
You know, I'm starting to warm up on Mexicans. I mean, not like, the retarded violent banger ones or niggas linked to cartels, but the normal ones who just go around being racist to black people and constantly voting red now. It's almost comical that the American-Mexican moved from blue and wanting more freedom in border crossings, to now screaming nigger out of a Ford F-150 and demanding that instead of deporting dumb fucking venezluan pigs, they instead need to be genocided.

It's like... they are becoming real Americans with real American values.

this is a replacement system for the current one that they have for games that don't justify a cartridge release, but spergs want cases for. currently, they print a code in an empty game case. this will give the physical collector an object, which is a big criticism people have had of this system.

still completely unaffected by all the tariffs from the US on japan. the only part of the economy that has an effect on it is currency inflation.
 
I just checked and the Nintendo Switch 2 is now $799.

It’s over.
