I remember hearing a good quote along the lines of 'Peripherals do not sell consoles. By their very nature their sales market is pre-existing console owners."

Plus Yosuke Okunari also said “Sega had devoted much of its game development capabilities to the 32X (and much of its hardware stock, since the 32X used the same chip as the Saturn) during the 1994 year-end sales season.” Which ruined Sega’s capacity to support manufacturing and game development of the Saturn.

Paying more for good quality tools to fix things properly can seem like a luxury initially, but they’re worth it when you’re 10 years down the line and still able to use the same set as if they were brand new.

Convicted billion dollar fraudster SBF recently went on Tucker Carlson.

His leaked private writings show how he was planning to go on Tucker Carlons and turn against ‘woke’ to try and escape scrutiny for years.

The Cheeto could straight up shoot him dead in the oval office, then alter Elon’s last will and testament live on TV and nobody could do jack shit about it.

Let us pray that the patron saint Luigi watches over him night and day.

That’s so cool. I’d never heard of it before. Please someone in the homebrew community has to work on this

Well done. That’s a decent effort. I can’t imagine being so motivated when I was that age.

Thatcher’s successor, John Major, oversaw the privatisation of British railways between 1994 and 1997.

It only took 30 years for them all to completely collapse in 2024.

To me it looks more teal blue than teal green.

Surely the bigger issue is that even if you have 1000 kids to vaccinate, there are 10,000 parents who don’t believe measles is anything to be worried about?

The NIH believes 7% of Americans are anti-vax, so in Texas that 10,000 is more like 2.1m.

Musk also mocked people who criticized the order on X, noting that workers could respond by asking an AI chatbot — such as Grok, owned by X — to create a list of accomplished tasks.

Making the world more efficient by making shit up. What a fucking clueless cunt.

This was years ago. But I’ve never been much into the bars and clubs scene. I remember at the time just feeling isolated and alone. I didn’t like spending 8-12 hours every day without any connection to anyone. Along with an extremely high pressure work environment, I was breaking down into tears on my way home most days.

I did it to myself so I was able to open up and find ways to connect to the people around me once I changed my attitude.

I also found some solidarity. It started as just a few complaints about how things were run but eventually I joined the union who helped me recoup a bunch of stolen wages.

I don’t find it odd. Even with Vatican II in 1962-65 transforming the role of the pope to a more ecumenical approach, the role is still one of a world leader. It’s similar to how those same politicians consult with the Dalai Lama. There’s realpolitik reasons for political world leaders to be seen consulting them as ‘world leaders’ that have nothing to do with the actual religions.

Really insightful comment. I did not understand OPs perspective at all but it feels like you’ve hit the nail on the head.

When I first joined the work force I had this idea that ‘I was there to do a job not make friends.’ but that attitude made me miserable

Nah man sorry. You’re just wrong in this case. You’re missing the forest for the trees.

Communism was the conspiracy. China. Vietnam. Laos. Cuba. Yemen. Somalia. Congo. Mozambique. Afghanistan. These were the countries succumbing to the worldwide conspiracy he was talking about.

Not to forget that Kennedy increased US involvement in Vietnam to prevent the spread of communism. He sent more troops and military advisers to South Vietnam to fight Ho Chi Minh’s forces. His brother also served under McCarthy as his father was a major ally and raging anti-communist.

Also regarding religion, Kennedy was a devout Catholic, which was a massive issue for him during the election, giving him good reason to try and dissuade people from considering it as an issue for him. Back then Catholics were often questioned on their loyalty, with people concerned that the president would be answerable to the pope. Crazy I know.

You’re not going to like this answer but he didn’t say Soviet Union because he didn’t need to. Everybody understood that ‘communism’ was ‘THE Global Conspiracy’ ever since McCarthyism took of.

Check out A conspiracy so immense : the world of Joe McCarthy by David Oshinsky to learn a little of what the attitude of the time was like.

Also sorry for the previously snippy response.

He was talking about the Soviet Union. Don’t they teach this very basic history in school?

Who do you think was conducting the ‘Cold War’ in the last sentence?
