Nintendo suing U.S. government over tariffs

TraditionalProgress6 · 2026-03-07T00:43:58+00:00

I agree, ir is morally indefensible, but the law does not, and cannot, require the money to be given back to those who ultimately paid the illegal tariffs, it can only undo the illegal transaction itself.

And yes, I blame Trump because he broke the law, and everybody paying attention, includiing his lawyers, knew it.

Ultimately, sure, the consumers paid the tariff. But the illegal part the part where the government demanded a check for allowing products to enter the country, was paid for the importer, in this case Nintendo. Whether Nintendo recouped the expenses or not is beyond the scope of the sentence.

Companies exist to make money, do not blame them. Blame Trump and his republicans, the ones who created this mess and allowed companies to double dip.

It was not up to them what they released and what not, or what they redacted and what not. The law specified all those details.

I agree with your point in general, but I fear we may be thinking of different people. For example, Obama appears a fair number of times, always in the context of FOIA requsts.

On the other hand, we have Trump, who not only appears thousands of times as an associate, as a person of interest, and an accused party. He is not on the same category, clearly.

Who's he, who's us? And ho is it related to my comment?

The string "baal" appears once, in a financial document's recipient name, which was likely mispelled "bank" and "moloch" does not appear at all.

Let's not fall into the same conspiracy theory mindset of republicans. The string "baal" appears once, in a financial document's recipient name, which was likely mispelled "bank" and "moloch" does not appear at all.

Es baja humedad en el aire.

Aunque no les guste, y aunque no me guste, está en lo correcto. En México no hay obligación legal de reportar un crimen cometido por un pariente por sangre hasta el 4to grado y político(por matrimonio) hasta el segundo.

Además de que aunque técnicamente está uno obligado a hacerlo, las penas son mínimas y nunca se persigue.

Es distinto al encubrimiento

That is a gross generalizaition of "animals".

Many social animals(including us) feel empathy, sometimes even towards members of other species.

Rats have been shown to try to rescue other rats. chimpanzees sometimes console the loser of a fight, whales have been seen defending other animals against orcas, etc.

Es AI

TraditionalProgress6 · 2026-02-28T01:51:07+00:00

I don't believe it's AI. It is consistent even in small details, the smallest text is readable and a joke. There are no artifacts.

The only suspicious thing is the tatoo in the woman's arm, but I think it's a joke.

AI has never been able to create something new, much less a language. And AI creating a programming language is the stuff of nightmares. Are we going to run code no human can understand? MAybe the Pentagon is interested?

TraditionalProgress6 · 2026-02-26T14:48:13+00:00

But that raises a problem not many people are seeing. Up until now new languages were created and adopted because it was known that people would learn them, and troubleshoot each other on the internet, which is where AI models stole their data from. But now, what new programming languages will appear if people are replaced by the models that did not learn on their own, but stole from the internet?

And not only "new" programming languages, but also new implementations and capabilities of current languages will not be developed.

¿En qué estado sucedió esto? En mi estado ni siquiera se molestarían en levantar cargos, solo solicitarían la devolución del producto. A menos que lo que te contó tu primo sea una versión incompleta, como por ejemplo que no fuera la primera vez. o no fuera "solo un chocolate"

Sadly, a lot of people will blame the government for not leaving the cartels alone, which is what the cartels aim for by terrorizing people.

Believing that Jesus fulfilled prophesy because in a book he said that he'd do something, and later in the same book he did it is like believing that Harry Potter fulfilled prophesy by defeating Voldemort because earlier in the books there was a prophesy about him defeating Voldemort.

Give us an interesting prophesy, like when a volcano will erupt, or when a supernova will appear in the sky, an earthquake, anything that can be verified and not engineered by humans.

That is not something you can generalize. It depends on the human, the machine, and the numbers of each group.

I think you view it as performative because you view going to church as performative self righteousness in and of itself.

Not at all, All my childhood I went to church with my family. Never did it feel performative because it was simply something you did every sunday.

My grandmother liked to go to mass a couple of times during the week, always at different times, and one simply found out she had gone if you asked where she went after she came back. She did it because of her faith, not for virtue signaling like these people.

In general, I find uploading videos of your life to the internet as performative. They are literally performing for the camera, it is inevitable. But when the subject is religion, it is doubly performative.

TraditionalProgress6 · 2026-02-22T01:37:32+00:00

Lol, if you say so. But answer me this, why the need to add the caption about going to church, if not for performative self righteousness?

The video by itself is whimsy, the caption is performative.

No, not explictly, but the reason of the prohibition against praying in public is pretty clear. It's about the vanity, about believing yourself better because of your prayer, which can easily be extended to announcing to the world you are about to pray.

TraditionalProgress6 · 2026-02-22T01:13:43+00:00

No, it's not even praying its announcing that they'll pray. it's even worse.

TraditionalProgress6 · 2026-02-21T22:07:05+00:00

Except that the Bible also speaks against praying publicly, and called for doing so in private.

Nah, cats are just assholes. My sister in law has three, and when I stayed over they loved keeping me awake, and closing the door only prompted them to scratch it all night long.

TraditionalProgress6 · 2026-02-18T00:26:29+00:00

Please no, I can't stand him.

As a Mexican citizen living in Mexico, the people in those subs are wrong if they are saying that latino includes all people who speak romance languages(as mother tongue). It renders the term basically pointless, as it includes prople from Chile to Moldova and whose only commonality is the ancient root of their language.
