by any sensible definition of northern california, yes, easily and obviously, since it includes the bay area. if you are only talking about the state of jefferson area in the far north then he would probably lose but idk there are still lots of libs in those parts
new consoles push the technological limits -> game dev costs more money and takes longer -> fewer games coming out -> fewer people bothering with buying new consoles when there are so few games -> less money to keep up with ballooning costs of game dev -> layoffs in the industry -> games take even longer to come out
haven’t actually looked into the sales numbers to see if any of this is actually correct but it’s how it feels vibe wise
i figured things were trending this way when i tried to play a dvd on a laptop a few years ago and it turns out they don’t include the software to play dvds anymore and msft just took me to their store page where i could buy it. thankfully i knew about vlc player but i wonder how many people get swindled every year from shit like that
it was actually kellogg the kellogg’s guy, not the oatmeal guy (william penn)
largest climate legislation in world history
taking this at face value for a second - real shit? you mean to tell me that more climate legislation is being passed today than was being passed by the Roman Senate? The court of the Kangxi emperor was not passing climate legislation offering tax incentives to businesses in impoverished communities that can reduce their carbon footprint by 14% over 5 years?
2016 opened my eyes to the nature of the game but at least the game was kind of fun to watch in '20. this one has been so weaksauce that even a story as juicy as a candidate having literal brainworms just didn’t hit right
that’s actually the first good argument against megabalkanizing germany i’ve ever heard
i can understand that as an abstract or longterm goal, but doing this in particular to achieve it, and less than 6 months before an election at that, feels extremely boneheaded
between this and… every other goddamn thing, i have to imagine the democrats are actually aiming for the “30,000 voter election” that the chapo guys were joking about a couple years ago
edit: also while the EV and solar tariffs are really really bad from a climate change perspective, increasing steel tariffs to 25% when china produces well over 10x as much steel as the US feels practically suicidal from an industrial perspective too. what the fuck are they hoping to achieve here?
very funny to me that these so called monarchists are willing to skip over trump’s first two sons just because they are massive losers and also because barron is tall. turns out primogeniture kind of sucks sometimes huh?
he’s trying to get the toby keith vote
the soviets: we noticed that CIA agents often hang out with CIA agents
the us: fuck. how could they do this to us. how did they know. we’re so fucked
i really like dynamite on a conceptual level. it’s a red stick with a string and a cool name and it blows up. it’s like it was made for looney toons. delightful
hard to imagine a future for ukraine right now that isn’t fucked for the next 15+ years at least. depressing to think that even after the war started they could’ve ended it a few months in, from a position of relative strength, if it weren’t for fucking boris johnson and the western MIC
“order must prevail” and “dissent must not lead to disorder” are the kind of comically fascist lines you would expect to find coming from the over the top bad guy in a YA novel
19 looks like he’s having a good time out there
it’s so goddamn boring this time around. no wacky characters. where’s admiral sestak? where’s ben carson? where’s bloomberg? the best part of this election was that dude winning the race in american samoa by running ads there claiming to be very popular on the mainland even though no one here had ever heard of him, that was a good bit but everything else sucks. most boring election of my lifetime, so far anyways
i think they have the only translucent antlers in the world? they are so fucking cool. i want to see one some day.
biden won both humboldt county and mendocino county pretty handily in 2020 and i would bet real money he will win them again this year. my guess is that the real heart of reaction in norcal is in ranching and ag, just like elsewhere in the west
