Trickle down used to be called horse and sparrow. The idea was that if a horse ate a whole lot of oats, some wouldn’t get digested and the sparrow could eat them. I wonder why they don’t use that metaphor today 🤔

“Just one more tax cut bro. This time it’ll work bro. Just lower the riches taxes one more time and it’ll all trickle down and we’ll all have our own houses and shit bro. Just one more tax cuuuuuuuuuuut”

Trump plans to claim sweeping powers to cancel federal spending: In a second term, allies said the former president would look at funding cuts for the World Health Organization and green energy (wapo.st)

Classically, Congress held the power of the purse, able to both bar and require spending. This imposed a significant limit on Presidential power. With a bought court supporting him, Trump would have significant ability to essentially chart power as a king.

The Kansas Experiment. What a glorious clusterfuck that was.

Ahh yes, Current Felon and Former President Donald Trump, well known for presiding over a fucking plague, wants to lower health spending. Astounding intellect.

How to fix Korea's birthrate? Put girls in school earlier, controversial report argues (koreajoongangdaily.joins.com)

“Notably, Chang’s report claims that biological females develop earlier than males do, so requiring girls to enter school at younger ages will create classes in which the two sexes are of more equal maturity as they age. This, the author posits, makes it more likely that those classmates will be attracted to each other, and...

“We’ve got a birthrate crisis, maybe we should make it so a single income of someone working 40 hours a week can support a family of 4?”

“… Or we could explore literally every other option no matter how ridiculous and not do anything which would impact corporate profits even a single penny.”

On one hand you’re right about first time offenders, but on the other he’s made it clear monetary fines don’t dissuade him (e.g. the ten he got for his truth social attacks on the judge and co.) which could in turn influence the decision regarding jailtime.

If you don’t have in-jokes with the homies tf is up with you? Thats basically memes in a nutshell, though obv some memes are more localized to particular ingroups then others so I can understand the flipside… Spiders georg vs. jolly ranchers vs. todays main character sounds incomprehensible except to the right intersection of three websites (though with cross pollination being what it is you may only need one.)

It’s up there… somewhere in the top ten at least, just gotta hammer out a few other pressing issues, like finding that guy who keeps sticking his gum under the benches.

My current headcanon is that they’re an eclectric quartet from Ingelwood California who dabble in folk-, synth-, and indie pop. This summer they’re opening for Hiatus Kaiyote.

Unless the evidentiary standard is like, “video evidence of the person stating their full name and social security number before doing it”, I’m firmly against any punishment that can’t be reversed or at least readily resolved like the death penalty or castration. We’ve got plenty of cases overturned years later on DNA evidence and the like.

Aside from the overture his work just wasn’t that memorable, just… serviceable. Hell contrast the (arguably most popular DQ) DQ8 victory jingle with the one from FF7. Not even a contest.

Feel like Keiichi Okabe (Of Nier Automata fame) could do wonders on a DQ OST but I doubt they’d let the man cook.

Enjoying it so far. Native volume was way loud, had to knock sliders to like… 30. Had one infinite loading screen too, which was annoying but day one so whatever

The understanding us normal folks have of the Constitution is like a living document akin to a technical manual that can be added to or updated- preamble, articles, and 27 (currently) amendments.

I can see (though not agree) with the suggestion that the Constitution they were talking about being the original sealed behind glass in a museum physical one, which just seems silly up til you realize that Trump and co. are definitely cheap/incompetent/potentially malicious enough to try and save a buck by not adding in an extra couple pages for 17 more amendments.

Arkane- I mean, yeah Redfall was a clunker but Dishonored, Deathloop, and Prey all did pretty well I thought… though I suppose the two Wolfenstein games they did were kinda trash so there is a bit of falloff between the “glory days” and now.

Tango- Hi-Fi Rush was a bop, and Ghostwire did well enough I thought. Not seeing a good reason here.

Alpha Dog - Mighty Doom? Okay thats a fair closure.

prioritizing high-impact titles and further investing in Bethesda’s portfolio of blockbuster games

Chasing blockbusters is gonna fuck them up but I suppose more room in the lower weight classes isn’t bad for gamers since it lets indies and others who aren’t the big boys shine, and lord knows thats been wild over the past year’ish.

You can blame Newt Gingrich for that one, he installed in the R’s hyper partisanship and the idea that they can never let the D’s get a “win”. It carried them to a majority back in the 80’s, and much like voodoo economics, they haven’t changed the playbook since, since it still works.

I’d imagine that there’s math to be done on sales for a mixed review game vs. a overwhelming positive one, and its not favorable.

Ignorant take.

Itd be comparable if day one Ghosts let folks do multi without a PSN login then months later after a massive community built up said, “oh btw youre required to log in now.”

What info are you giving Sony?

More then I want to.

The game always said psn account required

If folks were required to log in day one we wouldn’t be having any discussion. Instead its months post release they’re putting that requirement in place, so clearly a PSN account isn’t that important. Lots of folks feel like its a bait and switch.

Stern,
@Stern@lemmy.world avatar

I reiterate: If folks were required to log in day one we wouldn’t be having any discussion. They were not required to log in day one.
