The logic, as Layden explains, was to mindshare with PC players. Why? Because PlayStation wanted their IPs to matter beyond video games, through mediums like TV, film, comics, merchandise, and other media.

What should happen if that law is passed is that it's found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. But if it happens under Trump they will go ham and try to strip citizenship and deport as many people as possible before it's overturned.

This is good, but that 3 justices ruled (voted?) for overturning is disturbing AF. The GOP will just keep appointing justices that will rule their way in the future.

Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, another Trump appointee, dissented.

I'm convinced the reason is "We can't do that, black people would get it. White people have the good jobs and will get that all on their own."

I can't see them releasing the PS6 for a long time.

Neutral countries usually means a no fly zone, and that probably goes for low flying missiles too.

Both the USSR and Finland figured the fight would be between the great powers and the USSR. The USSR wanted Finland to be neutral to close off that route of invasion, and Finland wanted to be neutral and sit out any war.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finno-Soviet_Treaty_of_1948

Under the treaty, which was signed on 6 April 1948, the Soviets sought to deter Western or Allied Powers from attacking the Soviet Union through Finnish territory,

Under the pact, Finland was obliged to resist armed attacks by "Germany or its allies" (in reality interpreted as "the United States and allies")[citation needed] against Finland, or against the Soviet Union through Finland. If necessary, Finland was to ask for Soviet military aid to do so.

The agreement also recognized Finland's desire to remain outside great-power conflicts, allowing the country to adopt a policy of neutrality in the Cold War.

Finland followed the Eastern Bloc countries' decision and did not participate in the Marshall Plan.

But that doesn't hold in today's world where Russia is little more that a terrorist country that wants bits of land, so they joined NATO.

"They continue escalation, trying in every possible way to anger Russia. We, of course, will not succumb to provocations, but we will strengthen our defense on this very significant section of the border. Even now, I assure you, we have enough military equipment concentrated there to blow up half of Finland."

Zhuravlyov accused Finland of "gradually turning into a second Ukraine" following its decision to join NATO in 2023.

Yes but they project the Dems will act like they do.

Can you elaborate why you think that?

 

Prompted by all the commencements making the news.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (3 children)

It's projection. Look at how they've weaponized everything, so they naturally assume the Dems will do the same.

 

I hated lugging textbooks home, taking a chromebook home would've been much easier.

 

Of course this got me wondering about the etymology:

-stat

noun combining form

1: stabilizing agent or device thermostat

2: instrument for reflecting (something specified) constantly in one direction heliostat

3: agent causing inhibition of growth without destruction bacteriostat

 

Paraphrased:

The narcissist’s smirk is a subtle but telling expression that occurs when a narcissist experiences pleasure from manipulating or deceiving someone.

For narcissists, the smirk usually reflects contempt, which is a deep-seated disdain or lack of respect towards others. For narcissists contempt is tied to their belief in their own superiority. They view others who do not serve their needs as worthless or beneath them, showing a complete disregard for how their actions impact those around them.

 

It will start with "lying" on forms, "incorrect" asylum claims, "concern is over" asylum claims, and soon enough people born to illegal immigrants. Slow boiled frog and all that.

 

Much is said about lead and crime rates, I'm wondering about the more mundane things.

 

Backwater? Growing power?

 

Like there's video AI to enhance video, but podcasts have so many bad connections with guests it's horrible to listen to. They need to run out through an audio AI.

(Don't even get me started on asking the President questions when the fucking helicopter is in the background. Who tf can hear anything?)

 

According to a report in the Financial Times, unnamed sources close to Honda said that the automaker would be willing to resume talks only if Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida stepped down and retired. Last Tuesday, the Financial Times reported Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe’s relationship with Uchida had deteriorated after Honda’s boss finally understood the depth and breadth of the company’s financial mismanagement. Then, another twist.

My personal thought: Nissan's Board of Directors will boot him if they think this merger is crucial.
