Huzzah! Looking forward to this one.

I was gonna say that it would only be unfortunate due to giving them a reason to attack Iran, but history has shown us that doesn’t matter. We’ll do that regardless. If we dont have a reason we’ve been happy to just make one up.

At this point its really just a matter of not wanting to actually fight America on the battlefield.

I wrote my congresswoman and told her she lost my vote over this.

They were invaded by 1 of the 2 nations that agreed to protect them if they disarmed. The US did not uphold its obligations 3 times in a row through multiple administration’s. The latest conflict in Ukraine is a result of actions taken by the USA, followed by inaction on our part.

If we didn’t request their disarmament, lie about protecting them, it would be a very different landscape there right now.

It isn’t solely the fault of the US, but we are major contributors.

You keep writing like they have them and thats why they are being attacked. Its specifically because they dont yet have them that they are being attacked. If they already had them like North Korea, their situation would be more similar. I doubt people would be bombing them, in the same way people aren’t bombing North Korea despite it acting very hostile and making direct threats.

North Korea has nukes and it never gets invaded and gets aid sent to it. Iran doesn’t have nukes and it is regularly attacked.

I’d say their presence adds very clear value to the example country that actually has them.

I actually no longer trust that to be true with how many systems and programs were gutted. I suspect we probably dismantled our early warning systems.

If thats not the case, I still question whether or not this administration would let a blue state get hit when they could prevent it just out of spite.

It’s a nasty can of worms that never should have been opened.

All this also doesn’t take into account how creators gets paid.

It’s a big system, with enough moving parts that I understand the ad/pay model existing. I just wish they weren’t such prices about how they choose to operate it sometimes.

If there’s another president after him, they should just seize the plane since it belongs to the American people anyways. I think the value of a gift that is automatically seized is ludicrously low. I recall nintendo gifting a switch and it was made property of the American People, which usually means it goes to the Smithsonian.

This guy gets it.

They need to stop calling him a Democrat. He’s not one.

I feel like the only way it would work is if they got to keep the money of whoever they killed as long as that person had over a billion dollars… and I would almost be OK with that.

I like to imagine it would reduce the collateral damage the rest of society faces when these people have a dick waving contest.

Roided out billionaires with their hearts exploding out their chests from experimental steroids would really mix things up in a good way. He’ll maybe we’d get some truly sick cybernetic out of it too.

It does ruin most things doesn’t it? 😮‍💨

😆 And here I was think I wasn’t giving anyone any credit. I just proclaimed none of us could be trusted!

I think the fundamental problem with the AR glasses is something that can’t be overcome.

I think its easy to see the utility to owning a pair of glasses that look good and provide real time information as desired for what you are looking at or hearing.

HOWEVER, I think very few people will want the product these co.panies will make. This will be a method to throw ads literally in front of your eyeballs. Enshitification is too big of a thing now and so any new product is tainted by the expectation it will rapidly turn to garbage at a high price to you.

Also, while we may think we can be trusted, we dont trust anyone else having all that info, I dont like the obvious privacy implications that these can present. Filming with them is also terrifying.

I was getting a stable 30fps on mid settings. Having played at home at much higher resolution, I see you lose a lot, but its still very playable.

It plays well on the steam deck day 1 as well, if that matters to anyone here. I played the first 2 hours on my deck from work with no issues.

Shaders took like 10 minutes but the rest of the load times were all fine.

Exactly! I dont give shit if he killed people on camera and confessed to a crowd. He has to go to court.

Yeah how does that work? How do I get my Healthcare to pay my mortgage?
