  • So glad to see it's not just switch. Looks awesome.

  • Yeah, it felt kinda empty and repetitive. I think if the combat was better I might have kept playing.

  • I would call it cruel and illegal, but yeah there really isn't anything he's good at.

  • Yeah, anyone working in the government space has been screwed over big time by this admin - except for the people they're funneling money to.

  • Yeah, that's what I was wondering.

  • There are a couple factors at play and ICE is actually a smaller one.

    • Tarrifs - Trumps approach makes everything in US more expensive and also adds uncertainty (because he uses them at a whim)
    • Policy Whiplash - Lots of tax/subsidy/regulation/grant changes disrupting business. This has disrupted existing projects and caused increase uncertainty in operating a business
    • Dollar loosing value - Aggression against allies/tariffs/etc. has caused allies to dump US bonds increasing our borrowing rate and hurting the dollar. This can be good for industry long term, but means less purchasing power and less confidence in the economy.

    Overall, Trump causes uncertainty in the world and economy. Uncertainty usually causes people to be more careful/conservative leading to economic slowdown.

    The saddest part is ICE isn't even deporting that many more people than Biden or Obama (based on numbers). They're actually just detaining tons of people - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2025/aug/29/trump-immigration-ice-cbp-data

  • Any idea if this is within expected ranges or is there something breaking down. I know that there has been speculation that the way the industry was operating wasn't sustainable, but is this a natural/maintainable shift or something else?

  • I love that the FAAs response was "we're shutting this whole thing down until someone tells you to stop fucking up". Of course the Whitehouse had to come in and provide cover for them.

    Also, this would end careers in any other administration, how the hell did we get here. Why does no one in congress care?

  • Yeah I got a Series S Xbox for $250 about a year after release (literally only got it because of the price). They now go for $400.

  • You seem to have misconstrued my point.

    The sum of a man is not a handful of primary sources. Unless we invent some form of time machine there isn't a way to accurately portray historical figures. Anything that does will be influenced and biased by the person who created it (and will most likely be done to push a narrative)

  • I think their point is that it won't ever be there/them. What makes a person can not be consolidated down into written documentation.

    To add to that, AI is technically there. You can make an interactive image of someone (3D may not be there yet) with a custom voice and have it respond like the original person (based on info we have on them). The issue is that it will never actually be that person.

  • Thanks, I figured there was an escape character, but swapping to "x" was quicker than looking that up.

  • I don't think they'll ever let them sell them at those prices in the US. This is actually one of the times where tarrifs are smart economic policy. Both to protect a critical manufacturing capability and also because there is a lot of evidence that Chinas prices arent sustainable longterm (seems like the car industry may be their next evergrande).

  • Aren't those effectively the same thing. If the hardware can provide a return, then it's not a bubble.

  • I mean, China is just the latest competition, we already have a lot of foreign cars in the US. I still think the government will ensure Ford exists simply for domestic manufacturing and security.

  • Probably not as this is talking about North America, where Chinese electric cars are still not widely available. It's most likely due to Elon, cyber truck, and US relations with Canada.
