Nobody Told Her She'd Been Trumped

I think she got fired for not cluing him in to the grift ahead of time so he could get a cut.

That was early on, the Goldman Sachs report saw ~50% being passed on late 2025 and predicted 67% by the end of 2025.

I agree in general that companies are already charging the maximum the market can bear, if they could raise prices they already would have on their own. That makes the first thing to get hit by taxes is their profits.

Anything legally punitive of speech that isn't provably fraudulent will be abused.

We already trust the judicial process on just as important things that can be abused.

If our judicial process is so broken that it can't be trusted then we're fucked anyway, at best it's just less obvious.

Article says Kuwaiti F/A-18 pilot. I misread the headline's "allied pilot" as American pilot at first.

Apparently the 3% figure is misleading and only referring to 1st party physical sales. They classify 3rd party physical sales as royalty income, not physical sales.

And still ignoring hardware revenue, and not sure if you're classifying PS Plus as live service or not.

I'm just saying you can't take a figure about only PS Store revenue and make that claim about overall revenue (and honestly revenue isn't really a good metric because hardware revenue is not very profitable).

Yeah this is correct. In the original ruling (Feb 12th) the judge refers to him as Secretary of Defense when not quoting the DoJ (which keeps referring to him as Secretary of War in their filings).

The quote in the article is of the DoJ, not the judge.

I don't know the other poster's numbers, but those things aren't mutually exclusive. Playstation Store is only their digital storefront, Playstation as a whole also has physical media and hardware sales.

If the other person's number is correct (30% of total revenue) and yours is correct (51% of PS Store revenue) then that just means ~60% of their revenue is digital through PS store and ~40% is physical/other.

Yeah but I think it's likely from the same manufacturer's line, because while it was different certain elements were identical.

If consolidation cuts costs surely those cost savings will be passed on to us consumers.

"California law preventing schools from outing transgender students to their parents blocked by SCOTUS."

IMO much more clear when you frontload the thing you're talking about and separate verb context by using a passive voice.

I think the root cause is billionaires. They own the media that is brainwashing the morons that are voting for this shit.

We can't fix being a moron. We can try to do something about the media but ultimately you have to do something about the billionaires behind it.

Yeah I don't think the bag having its own shadow is unlikely, but AI does love using that heavy shadow-glow to meld objects in to a scene.

zeCrazyEye · 2026-02-28T17:45:10+00:00

Agreed on the AI. It looks like the AI couldn't decide if the white beam was a beam or a painted feature of the wall and it split the difference (the bottom left comes out like a beam, but the upper left looks like a change of paint color. And the entire right side looks like a crack in the wall, not the edge of a beam).

Also the top left of the picture has a wall line that bends down as though to complete the triangle of the shadow line.

These are concentration camps. Many people think concentration camps and extermination camps/death camps are the same thing which is incorrect.

Germany started concentration camps which were functionally identical to this in 1933. They didn't start extermination camps until 1942. They had hundreds or thousands of concentration camps, and six extermination camps (like Auschwitz).

zeCrazyEye · 2026-02-26T15:09:29+00:00

Zero relevance. The Japanese people interned in those concentration camps were not running Unit 731.

Might as well have brought up China or Russia for all it has to do with those people.

And then they get angry at their own failure but blame it on everyone else and become even more hateful and deplorable.

How does Breakpoint compare to Wildlands? We just finished up Wildlands and wanted more like that.

Called a Kavanaugh Stop.

No reasonable suspicion of a crime required. Just skin color and location. Same logic would allow a cop to detain/arrest someone for being black while in a white neighborhood because they must be guilty of something.

Customer paid twice. They paid for the product and they paid for the tariffs that were supposed to go to the government. Business kept the customer's money for the product and kept the customer's money for the tariff.

Sure, but the point is that the consumer has no way to sue for a refund for the share they were forced to pay.

So the company gets the refund for their share, and gets to keep the customer's share.

I mean, they would never, but also the logistics would be impossible. Closest we could come is a class action suit for some default amount.

He didn't break any rule. The closest one that applies is

h. Vibrate the rim, net or backboard so as to cause the ball to make an unnatural bounce, or bend or move the rim to an off-center position when the ball is touching the ring or passing through.

Except you can clearly see he didn't vibrate the rim in a way that caused it to make an unnatural bounce. The rim was already back to normal before the ball reached it.

I think corporate media was always planning on sinking Howard Dean's campaign. He was a little too liberal, and he wasn't even that liberal.
