It’s not something that needs to be solved. It’s sports. Tax sports income at 90% above 1M a year and watch it stabilise.

I like this. I’ll give it deeper thought.

No clue, nor am I inclined to use time to find out.

At the end of the day, it really doesn’t matter. Success at sports is not only dedication, it’s also luck in the genetic lottery, regardless of the sport.

I believe I’m an outlier in this thought, I think that segregation between male and female sports make no sense.

ELI5 this for me, I’m not even on this sub but whatever.

Everyone loves Messi, the dude takes a metric shit ton of forbidden drugs because he has a medical issue, wins a WC and competes because everyone recognises and accepts a medical condition is an acceptable reason to have exceptions.

Then, enter trans athletes. They have a medical condition, they take drugs to remediate the fact they were born in the wrong body, they win because the karma for the immeasurable amount of suffering they endure is being good at a random sport. Everyone dislikes that and calls it cheating.

I’m not an ally or anything. Being in the EU and seeing the fandom of Messi, can someone please explain to me why that cunt of a tax dodger gets an exception and Mary from down the street, who just won the district football competition, and wants to live her life in peace, is called a cheater.

Just make it make sense, and while you’re at it, explain why the fuck is this a discussion that permeates the airwaves almost weekly.

Oh, I’ve seen this one. where’s scientology Tom in this episode?

If this is the bar, Europe wouldn’t even trade with itself. Our biggest trade partner is calling us Pathetic while threatening to invade us and helping the genocide of an entire group of people.

We’re royally fucked, we either downgrade our lifestyle (which would be good for the environment) or we have to keep making deals with the devil. China just happens to be the devil we know, vs the 3 faced US.

Yet…

It’s already in Nintendo’s console biggest and best rival, the Steam Deck.

Enjoy paying the regard tax to play it on an inferior platform.

Edit: now that the placeholder comment has been replaced I can edit too.

While I agree with you, that the money distribution was unfair, I think if you’re actually comparing this to the shit Nintendo pulls all the time, you’re insane.

Bethesda, like Nintendo, has jumped the “bleed the fans dry” bandwagon, rather than make games that people love like in the days of yore. They indeed are as cancerous as Nintendo, just smaller.

Perhaps we can let Mick Gordon be the judge of that?

Ok? I don’t think taking money for mods is wrong.

Nobody argued taking money for mods is wrong. The argument is Bethesda taking ~50% of someone else’s mod pay is borderline worthy of racketeering charges.

It’s not like Bethesda did this without the modders knowledge. Free mods still existed.

So the choice was getting nothing and getting shafted by Toddy, most people chose to get nothing and you think that was OK, and not at all a sign of disgusting behaviour, because Bethesda looked modders in the eye while they robbed them?

I will NEVER understand fanboys.

Because Bethesda tried to make money off of modders’ work, that’s why. Bethesda is as cancerous as Nintendo, especially after acquisition when the office “hunger games” started.

It’s like charging you 45% after building a house for using their shovel…

I have very little doubt it was state sponsored. There has been ample evidence there is an interest from the US to make the EU a vassal region again, regardless of who is president. Starting with spying on allies with the help of DK to AUKUS, to fast tracking a war in our region to stop our only de facto dependence on them, hydrocarbons, from being made redundant. The EU is leading the world in renewable energy, but we can’t have that, because the only coercive lever after that is direct conflict. In fact, there’s ample evidence Biden and Bojo chose to prolong the UA war with empty promises to Zelensky that are now being paid in blood. The purpose of that is obvious, when you ask qui bono. Putin didn’t want NATO at his door, RU & the US didn’t want UA in the EU, so here we are. Had UA entered the EU, the supply of hydrocarbons from RU and US would have been made redundant enough given UA has reserved estimated to be enough to support the EU energy transition to renewables independently.

The part of brexit is manifestly not true. Brexit is a US invention, the far right from the US banked the whole thing. Case in point, Steve Banon and Cambridge analytica. Allowing US companies to run our digital life is the biggest mistake of the european civilization, and now that civilization is at risk, threatened by a raging jingoistic maniac.

And rightfully so…

Fair enough, silk road was pretty wild.

A gucci belt, made in China 😉

Looking foward to see sony slap a 40€ price on it, sentencing it to be another multi-million write off.

Hopefully someone will have some common sense and this will be a boon to shooter fans. Market’s pretty saturated tho…

Average reaction of a Nintendo fanboy to abuse:

Step 1: this is expensive

Nintendo: kawaiiiiii

Step 2: shut up and take my money you cute souless overlord

“It’s legal if the president does it!”

At least that’s what the grapevine says about how that came together.

This is when I stopped reading because this is demonstrably false. The 214 scratches the Cortex 53 cores and is semi-custom hardware. That also ignores the obvious deal to cheapen the Tegras, which was basically handing NVIDIA the Chinese market on a silver platter, which Nintendo really didn’t cater at all…

AMD had nothing low power/long battery to offer but the jaguar at the time, so Nintendo had to deal with one of the most hated companies in order to get a competitive mobile chip, rather than doing it in-house with licensed off the shelf ARM chips like before. They took a page from SONY and went with a custom GPU based solution, but lacking a solid hardware department (AMD did a lot of the heavy lifting over the years) they just went with NVIDIA because there was almost no other game in town at that price (see Chinese market above, no one else was trying to get into streaming for the Chinese market and needed a strong game library).

That’s it

Edit: regarding output switching… You must be using an apple phone and never heard of MHL… Jesus… It’s like with Apple fans, shit exists for a decade but they honestly think it was Apple that came up with it. M8, and let’s not start with the joycons, they are pretty shit, prone to failure and the design is so garbage that even Nintendo spent R&D not to use that trash sliding mechanism again…
