More realistically: because whenever the government tries to regulate anything in Tech, they typically fail to understand the core concepts pretty much entirely, and then regulate in a way that’s a massive pain in the ass to consumers, but also largely ineffective.
While that’s true, the stated intents of the law and the actual impacts of the law in this case are very clearly not aligned, if Nvidia’s best purpose-built commercial GPGPU/ML-acceleration card is still able to be sold to China. The entire point was to make it harder for China and Chinese companies to get stuff like that.
The universe of Elder Scrolls: Spacerim just feels… strangely sparse and uninteresting, even in a lot of the places that should be interesting.
If this came out 5-6 years ago, it’d be a different story, but there’s frankly too many competitors that have done space RPG as good or better than Todd has with his latest entry.

We don’t do this ourselves because, even at fairly high income levels, we’re all living a lot closer to paycheck-to-paycheck than we’d all like, and our ability to get healthcare and afford food and housing is tied quite directly to our jobs, and we have nearly no real social safety nets or real worker protections to speak of compared to Europe.

The fact that you say this with such certainty makes me completely confident that you can’t even do a mental push-up, which in this case would be basic, foundational research.

I’ve got a kindle keyboard 3 and want to know if there’s anything better out now. My main requirement is being able to load in my own content and have a nice cover/case...
Though I don’t use it as much nowadays now that I work from home most of the time, I’ve had one kindle model or another for about a decade at this point, and I used them constantly when commuting. I prefer to keep that particular device sleek and minimal, so I don’t use a case. This tends to result in it eventually getting banged up a bit after a while, but the things are generally quite robust and I tend to just ignore any purely cosmetic damage unless it’s a screen issue. I’ve gone through 2 kindles in that fashion, and I’m on my 3rd. Also, I generally only buy them when they’re on sale, and always go for the lowest memory paperwhite model (I use it for books exclusively, since I have a phone, and I will listen to audiobooks on that if I want to).
2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision...
I’m voting for the most progressive candidate possible in the primary, and then whoever’s not the Republican in the general, and I fully intend to do that for the rest of my life.
The Republican Party has some plans they’re putting together, and between that and the rhetoric that most major Republican politicians and candidates spout these days (very specifically including Trump), it’s abundantly clear they’ve more or less completely given up on democracy, and are planning on dismantling a significant proportion of the core institutions of our country and government, which will effectively usher in the American Empire (as in: a possibly theocratic, but definitely authoritarian and likely outright fascist dictatorship). To be clear: that would be a Very Bad Thing. You think Russia is troublesome now? Wait until Trump or someone similar starts treating them like an ally, emulating as much of Putin’s power structure as possible just because they think it’s cool and would make them look powerful, and potentially teaming up to do shitty things to the rest of the world because we have something like 95% of the nuclear weapons ever produced, and while Russian ones are in a questionable state, ours definitely work.
If Republicans win this next election - and especially if they are able to secure the presidency and both houses of Congress - I genuinely don’t think things will recover without significant domestic political violence, which may ultimately result in a civil war. I’m doing my best to prepare for some “GTFO” contingencies that could be executed in the next few years, but it’s not an easy thing to do, and there’s still a huge number of unknowns in a ton of dimensions.
If you think I’m being hyperbolic, you’re not paying attention.
We don’t like that we are only allowed to have two choices.
The problem is that a moderately small number of people and corporations who combined have more money than god have decided it’s a great idea to execute regulatory capture of the entire US government.
I just hope guillotine season starts before the world catches on fire.
Do you genuinely think that the population of the United States likes only having two neoliberal political parties that have been able to get laws enacted that make it effectively impossible for any 3rd political party to exist in an effective fashion?
You have heard of this, though. It’s called the IDF - specifically, the nationalist/Zionist factions within it. Neighboring countries count as “abroad”.
Edit:
I’m not attempting to be an apologist for any of the sides involved in this clusterfuck. If you take exception to my description of Israel and the IDF’s actions now and in many historical cases as what effectively amounts to apartheid as a state institution at best, then I suggest you do a LOT more research on the history of the region. To be fair, the Arab countries neighboring Israel came out of the gates HOT in 1948… but that also wasn’t really the beginning of the conflict - it was just the continuation of a very old one. The history of the region did not start when the UK and the UN just redrew the lines on the map in 1948 to give holocaust survivors a country of their own (I’m being reductive, but that’s more or less what it accomplished).
At the end of the day, the governments and non-state actors in the region have had various problems with each other for a long damn time, and however you want to frame any past or current conflict, it’s always the civilians who lose.
So I was morbidly curious about what you meant, so I looked it up:
Whoopi Goldberg faces a fresh round of backlash after her latest historically inaccurate statement about the Holocaust, which she claimed “wasn’t originally” about race in an interview
But it would behoove everyone who’s participating in the debate even more to make a real attempt to understand the history of the conflict, and more broadly, the region. This includes the war that is now ongoing, as well as everything that has occurred in the region (and the contemporary geopolitics surrounding it) since the country was established in 1948, as well as UN/British ownership of Mandatory Palestine, the Ottoman period, the Mameluke period, all the way back to the Crusades, the Mongol invasion, the Byzantine and Roman empires, and ancient Egypt. Favoring a modern slant is understandable, but it’s crucially important to not consider the situation in a historical vacuum. There is subtlety in context, and that part of the world has a whole lot of context.
That’s not to say that the Israeli government is justified for their invasion, bombing, and de-facto implementation of an apartheid state. Nor is it to say that various state and non-state Arab entities are justified for conducting various acts of military action and terrorism over the years. All I mean is that there is a TON of cultural and religious history there, and violent, unilateral action pretty much always makes things worse for all the civilians in the area.
