Wow. So Wikimedia is really just a small hedge fund that happens to run the servers for an encyclopedia on the side. I had a hunch they spent a lot more on other non-wikipedia stuff, but for hosting to cost almost 2% of what they invest is eye opening. And makes it all the more petty that they can't pay their labor. Especially since so much labor is in fact volunteer work.
Tariffs are fine. We do them all the time. Blanket tariffs is profoundly stupid in a world with decades of free trade agreements.
Sony, a Japanese company, is also not affiliated with the US government.
Sony interactive Entertainment is an American company, moving its HQ to the US in 2016. It organizes the playstation brand and this story focuses on the Playstation division.
the fact that 40% of people are actively supporting all this means it’s too much.
Yet they would have most crawled back into their caves if Trump lost. It is too much they only get empowered by "their guy" in office, and not by what he does.
The prices went up, and customers accepted that price.
No, we really didn't. It was forced on us, credit card and car debt is at record highs, homelessness increased, spending power at the average household is down. And part of the reason companies are getting refunds is over potential lost sales. I. E. Because some customers did in fact refuse to accept the price.
how do you legally know that they passed all that cost on to the customers?
Audit and compare prices of goods to the tariffs
a majority of Americans voted to introduce tariffs.
Yeah, totally don't regret that one, huh?
errors made by the American government, making the tariffs illegal.
Errors is putting it very lightly. Tariff power have always lied with Congress (outside of a very narrow band of exception) and Congress did fuck all. The courts work very slow so this error is going cost trillions in the global economy from this year of "error".
It was the US government that is responsible for this money, not Sony.
some of, to the flat out worst, in their respective series.

Look mate, not everything you don’t personally like is “slop”.
And your other cases are pokemon (who's been accused of sinking since the 3DS days) and Smash's online. Not even the game, its netcode (which if we're being real is bad for 99% of Nintendo games). We don't need to invent reasons to hate Nintendo, okay.
The falsehood was that the election was lost because a large number of people decided “both sides are the same.” That is a comforting lie.
I never said that. I'm talking about people still trying to set the fence 20 months after the results of the election. 2024 has come and gone and there's not much use deliberating over why or how she lost. Because I think what's happening in 2025 onward will affect elections much more than re-living 2024. Trying to argue "Kamala said that" as if she's wrong because she lost doesn't help your argument (especially when many of her predictions came true anyway).
So yeah, if you're in 2026 still arguing "both sides are the same", you picked your side.
Some people just have different ethical systems than you do.
This isn't ethical, this is simple fact checking. You're reading way too deeply into a comment that was simply doing fact checking, and not even making a political judgment call.
It appears you prefer feeling morally superior over actually winning elections
This isn't political, this is simple fact checking. You're reading way too deeply into a comment that was simply doing fact checking. Let's go back over the chain and see what I said:
Everything Kamala said turned out to be true (yes, I'm exaggerating. But the big predictions are turning out true)
I’m tired of being gaslit by people who want to pretend they are enlightened centrists (this is a subjective call, but not tied to any particular political party. this can apply to Trump, Bush, Kamala, or Epstein)
Be much better if people could be the bigger person, admit “yeah this was worse than I ever expected” (a call to action to centrists or right wing people who have soured on Trump[). This is a bit more political because it's targeted at Trump's policies, but ultimately is trying to make those with voter regret honest. If you have no regrets and think Trump is doing a good job, you would never say "this is worse than I expected")
That's all I'm saying. I also literally said "I'm not here to gloat, I want problems fixed", so thanks for ignoring that.
Slander implies falsehood. I've said nothing false. I'm tired of being gaslit by people who want to pretend they are enlightened centrists just because they are now feeling the consequences of their actions but still can't bring themselves to say "the other side was right".
Be much better if people could be the bigger person, admit "yeah this was worse than I ever expected" and learn from their mistakes. I don't want to gloat or celebrate or anything, I just want to fix the damn broken windows. It's honestly more annoying to have people say "there's no difference between a broken/fixed window" than it is people who say "what? the window isn't broken"
Yeah, even for adults I feel this borders way too close on deepfakes. We needed to ban those years ago. I simply do not see any artistic nor educational context to justify nudifying someone without consent.
And this isn't unheard of, even in America. Even with caricatures you can wander close to libel if you're drawing someone like that .

Curious, what does Wikimedia actually invest in besides Wikipedia? It's still a non-profit, right?
Screw that liability BS so hard. You hire them to represent your company, you need to be accountable for what they do under your payroll.
I just hope the past generation (going on two now) have gotten people to see through the gaslighting and we can rise up against it this time.
Oh okay. So this is just yet another Garland fumble.

Yes, I just said part of the justification for companies getting a refund was from people NOT buying luxury goods, costing them sales.
Felt like one of the very few times grabbing a Gen AI image was appropriate lol.
Yet they would have most crawled back into their caves if Trump lost. It is too much they only get empowered by "their guy" in office, and not by what he does.

Yup. Once again, no regrer there, huh?

And where'd they get the money from?
I'm sure Kash will get right to investigating this after releasing the Epstein files.
But yes, I get it. We'd be hearing about this for the next 2.5 years if this was Biden.
Grok will do a lot of things that Claude or gemini or OpenAI will refuse to do for you (at least without a lot of prodding)
Education can't fix apathy. I don't know what can, to be honest. Community, perhaps.
Slop implies bare bones, generic, repetitive design, and thrown together quick. Say what you want about Zelda, but it has never been any of those.

Say it with me now: "The cruelty is the point"
Or I guess, "was" in this case.
yeah, at that point you just gotta sell it off. Hell, sell it off half price and you still get life changing money.
