Yeah. Not sure what it is. It somehow feels more laggy, and for some games I struggle to read what’s on the screen sometimes. Plus there’s obviously other family members that want to use the TV most of the time. The steam deck really has been the only way I still do any gaming.

I still have mine too, but I never played too much with it because I just can’t do the ‘play on the couch’ thing or whatever. I was always a keyboard+mouse person. Playing on the steam deck does work for me somehow tho.

They’re still killing people daily in Gaza, and displacing people in the west bank, despite a nominal ceasefire.

That means he’ll stop supporting Israel with their genocide and other destabilising actions, right?

It’s Canada, they had to use French on the sign too.

Yep, if history is any guide, Democrats, if they ever get back in power, will want to look forward, not back. They’ve done that with Nixon, Reagan, the GFC, torture, Trump’s whole ass coup, …

It just means that the exact same characters will just try again.

Yeah, can’t really joke about executions in the street.

Big issue with the state of politics, comedians are basically relegated to just reading the news because it’s already a satire.

Blatter doesn’t run FIFA any more. And was fine with Russia and Qatar having the world cup, so I’m guessing the principles arrived when he retired.

I mean, the thing is that a donation to philanthropy is tax deductible, so even if you control the charity 100%, it counts. Instead of paying taxes, you’re just paying yourself. And once it’s in that charity, you can use that money for any charitable cause, even if that cause benefits the non-charitable side of your portfolio. This means that you can

• pay for your own PR
• use the charity money to buy a bunch of medicine to eradicate some disease, while you have investments in the pharma company that will provide said medicine
• donate to academia to steer research goals and then become a early investor in any spinoff companies that result from that
• donate to a charity run by a politician/other rich person to curry favour

It’s not a coincidence he’s become richer despite ‘donating his wealth’.

Just shows that the idea that Bill Gates was one of the good ones was just PR. There are no good billionaires.

Can’t wait for the Behind the Bastards episode about this guy. Long overdue.

Not implying he was President during the Biden years. I guess I meant as a prominent politician.

LMAO

It’s doable if you’re not constantly changing the plans. The issue appears to be that he keeps changing things about it. Every plan or rendering they’ve released is different and it keeps getting bigger with each iteration.

I wonder what a demolition crew does if you don’t pay them. Other tradies will typically just rip out their work, but it’s not like a demo crew can easily rebuild something they tore down.

I’m actually amazed how he keeps finding new suckers after decades of doing it in the private sector and almost 10 years of doing it as President. The only ones that really came out ahead are the criminals that bought their pardons. Everyone else gets screwed one way or another.

Probably attached it in the CMS and didn’t upload the file as private even if the page itself was, or something like that. Users mess up permissions all the time.

Between this and how they treated Afghans that collaborated with them, this is going to be a long term issue for future recruitment efforts.

Still not sure if it’s deliberate, but Trump is taking the exact steps one would take to dismantle the American Empire.

For this specific device you want to be able to hook it up to a TV, and unfortunately TVs tend to come with HDMI, not the superior displayport.
