Interesting timing with tariffs and the Switch 2 release, especially with prices rising in Canada as others have mentioned.

It is kind of perfect timing to blame a price increase on tariffs when the real reason is to upsell to the new product line. Especially for docked players the OLED S1 at $400 vs S2 at $450 now seems like an easy decision to upgrade your purchase for the performance.

I’m a what most people would consider an AI Luddite/hater and think OOP communicates like a dogmatic asshole.

This isn’t targeted towards you specifically but I gotta get this off my chest.

I keep seeing calls for violence, “Americans need to do X”, “why won’t Americans get real in the streets like the French etc”. They have a point but…

Lemmy is a public forum. The US famously has a large surveillance apparatus. What reasonable person would discuss illegal actions here?

Any real effective action like you’re probably imagining ain’t getting discussed here. Be serious and stop risking this platform with these whimsical calls for violence.

I SEE A FEW GUNZ PICS BUT CANT HEAR A LICK OF WHAT THEY SAYIN!!

I have no idea why you are taking downvotes. Thought it was a good St. Louis reference.

Prop 2 was on the ballot the first election I could vote in. We voted for better living conditions for animals, Obama to be president, and also constitutionally banned gay marriage all in one election.

I did not know the second part. TIL

I rent through Costco and try to pick Alamo when possible. Avis is decent but they often share a line with Budget which can take forever.

I’m not a loyalty member of any brand for reference.

It’s so funny how many people can recognize the UI. There’s also a trend of drummers working the intro beat into various music.

A warning sign during the spring/summer 2024 was the federal reserve and other departments reporting the economy was doing great. You’d hear this shit every week on Marketplace every week.

But real spending power did not feel great at all! It was somewhere during that time period that I recognized Trump had a real shot at getting reelected.

Ha I think there’s a long list of enhancements that many women do that more men should do. Put effort into your outfit, smell decent, drink a little less than normal when on a date.

But what is the fair Faire price?

Except for PCG…

I doubt that. The Illitch family behave like relatively down to earth billionaires. At least as far as what they do in Detroit.

I read your link below and do not understand what you mean by sex crime for sharing your own nude images (with adults). The link mentions a law for your own nude images being shared without consent, but that and everything else just guides a path to sue in civil court.

Ngl I never noticed St Pierre was not part of Canada.

I see people talking about chargebacks in this thread which is the logical course of action for a case like this.

What’s nefarious about this is that Hilton and Merriot each own a ton of hotels. If you chargeback multiple times against one of those groups you could get block listed from their locations which can get very problematic in locales without much competition.

Worth trying disc golf. Most courses are built on under utilized park land funded and maintained by local volunteer clubs. You can get three discs for $30-40 or most loan some from somebody who plays (we all have too many) and get started!

Most courses are free to play.

Just to clarify at least original White Claw gets its alcohol from fermented sugar. It’s basically a gluten free clear beer with no hops and fruit flavor added.

High Noon and anything labeled Vodka soda use actual distilled spirit. Those are more expensive and taste better, especially after a few.

Charlie Kirk got famous through Turning Point USA, a political group targeting young voters, spreading stupid political memes as conservative propaganda.

There’s many videos of him setting up a booth at college campuses and debating college students on their liberal or progressive viewpoints.
