Yeah, RISC is good.

these people are so mind-numbingly risk adverse they don’t greenlight any new properties and tacitly reheat old ones there will eventually be a whole generation of people who never saw anything new or worthwhile from them

Imo the main addition to that console is that face tracking made the 3d work properly.

I think that has more to do with ending production on the LX Platform Challenger / Charger tbh. They haven’t quite managed to gather the same hype among domestic car nerds with their replacements as those old boats had.

You know what they say about people who live in glass houses…

That’s a surprisingly narrow definition.

So do you look at something like a Studebaker Commander Coupe and go “well obviously that’s modern”?

The Saab Aerospace marketing team just looks on at this exchange in dismay.

This “use executive orders to bluff until people treat them like actual laws” strategy is starting to get really annoying.

I believe Robespierre had lead a period of time known as the “reign of good times and normal vibes” where they all formed committees to talk out and mediate the the problems of the system they lived under.

You guys are getting helpdesk jobs?

The difference being that Covid took a scientific breakthrough to make a vaccine for (as various factors about the virus were unprecedented) while flu variants are very much a known thing as far as virology goes.

The feds already have a reserve of human-safe H5N1 vaccines, the only thing preventing them from using that when SHTF is ideology. It will be both completely prepared for and completely preventable.

The whole point is to remove the legal backing of the orders such that anyone who isn’t already not complying out of a sense of morals but is enough of a mook to stop because “it’s law” also stops complying.

The whole game is to bluff people into complying with any shit they want preemptively because there’s no way in hell they’d get such policies through official channels.

That or we’d overspec into stem education and neglect humanities until we get a whole generation of genius niche engineers who will sit down and gladly explain the most eugenicist viewpoint you’ve ever head from a living human in your entire life the moment you ask them a single question related to social issues…

Oh wait.

Giving them more than two senators might lead to a senate that isn’t perpetually gridlocked. That makes them dangerously close to being able to pass progressive legislation instead of nothing but mandatory funding bills with 37 pages worth of riders and pork.

As a horny pedant I need to tell you that’s not why Betamax failed.

NSFW doesn’t mean literal porn it means “what would be potentially catastrophic for the prudes at work to see on my screen out of the corner of their eye”.

As it turns out, anyones’ loins falls under that definition because vivimos en una sociedad.

And taking a scythe to anything with that tag is much simpler than actually being an arbiter of what is and isn’t “degenerate” porn for the sake of this batshit prudish regime.
