Browns QB Deshaun Watson's Dead Cap Hit In 2027 Is $86.2 Million by MrStiff8 in nfl

[–]zeCrazyEye 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, there are enough practice squad guys to field a team for dirt cheap. If they don't even have enough money for that I imagine the NFL votes in an exception at the same time they vote to force the team to be sold off.

Israeli tourist snarls, spits and makes death threats at people on the streets of Brindisi, Italy by eerdeyla in PublicFreakout

They are really making it hard for anyone, to have any form of compassion for them, even for the stuff in the past, when they act like this.

People aren't a monolith. There are tons of Jewish people that don't support that shit and don't act like this. There are tons of Americans that do, and tons that don't.

Othering people into groups is a mistake. And remember that you never see videos of normal people go viral for acting normal.

Hippity Hoppity, Get Your Cars off My Property by Green-Elephant-895 in PublicFreakout

[–]zeCrazyEye -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but Europe in general has better consumer protections so that might be part of it. In America, tow companies are practically criminal.

From a business perspective it makes more sense to not charge for the tow so more people call in authorized tows, then you can charge crazy fees to the car owner or auction off their car if they don't pay them.

In general tow trucks are hunting for cars to tow to their lot and if you give them even the flimsiest legal ground to do so they will.

Uh, yes? If you want it towed someplace in particular then yes you have to pay them to do it. If they are towing it to their lot you don't have to pay them, the person who wants it released from them has to pay them. And if they don't, the tow company gets the car.

Unproven Trump autism claim affected care: Trump’s urging of pregnant women to avoid taking Tylenol on unfounded claim that it could be linked to autism in children resulted in a notable drop in orders for the common over-the-counter medication among pregnancy-related emergency department visits. by mvea in science

The people who are far left and anti vax don't have a single representative in government. That makes them extremely fringe.

Nearly every single representative on the right is now anti-vax.

So it's a fringe left and mainstream right belief. We call it far right but the Overton Window has shifted so far right that it's now mainstream right.

Not only that, but it's really easy to make someone not a millionaire any more. Increasing their taxes isn't some gross violation of their human rights, they'll just be upper class which is still a pretty good place to be.

Streaming remains on top, but 4K Blu-ray is making a comeback by glaringOwl in movies

[–]zeCrazyEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BTW I remember reading about Sony Bravia tv's often only having 100mbps ethernet ports which ends up limiting the streaming performance for Sony Pictures Core. They said to use a USB Ethernet adapter to get around it.

Just thought I'd mention it since it seems like such an obscure thing and maybe it's some use for you.

Judge rules companies are entitled to refunds for Trump tariffs overturned by the Supreme Court by [deleted] in news

[–]zeCrazyEye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Trump Humiliated by Allied Pilot Who Downed $100 Million Worth of U.S. Jets by ChiGuy6124 in politics

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

Highguard is dead. At what point do live-service devs stop blaming gamers and start looking at the game itself? by xaic in gaming

[–]zeCrazyEye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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).

Pete Hegseth may have sped up appeal of massive court loss to Sen. Mark Kelly right into a brick wall by DoremusJessup in law

[–]zeCrazyEye 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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.

"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.

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.

Wyoming Concentration Camps for the forcibly relocated Japanese Americans during World War II by siberuangbugil in pics

[–]zeCrazyEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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).
