  • This guy is gonna be the end of all of us. I feel sorry for Americans with an IQ above.. 70 for having to watch this in real-time and live through the age of stupidity

  • The Chinese economy is not doing well.. and they're gonna be fucked too when USA sinks itself

  • Real estate definitely gonna crash as well alongside the economy

  • I've never cared much for listening to live music, even if I play myself. Well, at least not for those big ass concerts you pay €200 for. I once heard a guy playing in a church near me and it was intimate and amazing; that's how music should be.. anyway, sidetracked, my point is that I love streaming so much and I listen to music when I cook, when I focus at work, when I need to get pumped, when I need to relate. The idea of streaming is amazing - although having everything in one place all at once does remove some of the magic. I don't really have a point other than that I hope for more ethical streaming services..

  • But I thought the rest of the world would pay it? Because, of course, we've been treating USA unfairly for so many decades now so it's only fair we'd give more money to the biggest economy on the planet :(

  • I just wonder what the tariff money will be used for. I'd expect it to the tax cuts for the ultra rich

  • It's only implemented in 4 countries and mine doesn't even use Euro

  • Don't you tell me Russia hasn't been waging wars. That's an insane statement. Even looking past Ukraine, since the breakdown of the Russian Empire 2.0 (aka the Soviet Union) Russia has invaded Georgia twice, Transnistria, Chechnya twice, and Dagestan, as well as having upheld Al-Assad's regime - don't tell me that guy isn't evil even if he stood up to Israel - and are now heavily involved in Burkina Faso, Mali, and the CAR. Now do you want to talk about all the shit Russia got up to between 1920 - 1991? Or the countless genocides of the Russian Empire as well as the continuous oppression of ethnic minorities in the Caucasus and Siberia, including using them as human meat shields in Ukraine?

    The West deserves hate, but so does Russia. Don't be a tankie idiot. No one is choosing Russia because Russia isn't that important anymore. Others are choosing China and that makes sense.

  • You know what's completely ridiculous? Your black or white view of the world. Reality is that there is no benevolent state or any kind of financially succesful entity that isn't built on some form of exploitation. The Western system is evil. So is Russia for sure. China. UAE and the Saudis. You have India now rising by building strong ties with USA and Israel. There's no geopolitical force that's built on good. That you're incapable of realising that and just go "West bad so everyone else good" is quite telling about you. Besides, Russian Jews - strongly overrepresented in the oligarchs statistics - traditionally have strong ties to the Israeli state and Zionism. Russia's - like everyone else's - current interests are only based on what they perceive to be the most gainful. If Putin could've benefitted from siding with Israel instead of the China-Iran-Assad axis he would've done so immediately. To even suggest that Russia is anti-Zionist out of benevolence is insane.

    Besides you now say he has "Russian roots" but right before you were attempting to convince people that he was "Ukrainian". So

  • YSK that he grew up in Yaroslavl, Russia to Russian-speaking Jewish parents. Calling him "Ukrainian" just because he was born in Odesa during the Soviet Union is misleading. He had/has close ties to the Russian state and became wealthy off of Russian oil and aluminium deposits in the 90s.

    So yes, you can blame "the Russians", but you should rather blame the system.

  • It's not just a "business decision". It's about control and they're connected. You're naive if you don't see the bigger picture

  • It's the slowly boiling water, mate. You think governments give a fuck whether some neckbeards play incest video games in their mum's basement? It's about power and expanding the reach of what they can monitor and control. One day it's porn games the next day it's books. It's a tiny step towards a more and more authoritarian world.

  • What is wrong with that? It's not like actual democracies are a thing. The elites somewhat allow us to decide on "Western bullshit" topics such as killing games, gendered bathrooms, national dishes, and other issues that don't affect their bottom lines. They don't allow us to influence geopolitics. Sure you can yell about freeing Congo, and it should be.. but ehh, if some people care about stop killing games then whatever. Anything positive is something - and I don't even really play video games or care about this thing.

  • And what do you recommend paying with instead?

  • No shit.. you think it'd be fair to devs and creators if you could just buy the game, play it for 15 hours and then get a refund every time?

  • No matter what they prove Luigi is my hero

  • Definitely find it reasonable to use it as a political and personal litmus test; I generally do the same. Perhaps Ozzy was more of a genuine Zionist than I expected - I am too young to care about him and Black Sabbath too much - but he just appeared to me like a drugged up old lad who had no clue what was going on around him. I saw him at Copenhell some years back and I'm convinced that he had no idea who or where he was, so I guess I just mostly view him like that

  • Don't worry! I was having a big mac with him in Salzburg the day it allegedly happened! I'll attest to this in court

  • Yea, I thought so. That's why I added "how the word is perceived"; when I hear the word "corporation" my first connotation is "evil", but for the word "company" it can be literally anything
