  • That this was civil? We didn't cuss each other out. If you want me to be less civil, just say so.

    Anyway, it doesn't matter. If this initiative makes it or not doesn't matter that much to me. I'm not buying the games impacted by this, nor do I support the game companies that employ the practices.

    Have a good one.

  • They are dismissing the value of getting more of those small countries on board. Getting them past the threshold could also have an effect on the gamers in those countries. Who knows what kinds of people may have been untapped. Discarding them as irrelevant is counter-productive.

    "Shut up, let the big boys do the lifting". It's the same attitudes that are pervasive throughout the union. The voices of those small countries are important. The line of thinking that small countries don't matter fits very well with the "I'm just one person, so if I don't vote, nobody will care". We should be encouraging our brethren from smaller countries to be part of the democratic process instead of just excluding them. The Union wouldn't listen to the Eastern States after Crimea's invasion in 2014 and shrugged them off during the renewed invasion.

    Imagine if we said the same thing about queers. "Nah, we don't need their votes, they're irrelevant, let's focus on the hets".

    So yes, the implication of irrelevance bothers me because it's deeper than just this issue.

  • Once a lead nucleus has transformed by losing protons, it is no longer on the perfect orbit that keeps it circulating inside the vacuum beam pipe of the Large Hadron Collider. In a matter of microseconds it will collide with the walls.

    This effect makes the beam less intense over time. So for scientists, the production of gold at the collider is in fact more of a nuisance than a blessing.

    sigh* "Send in the janitor to scrape the gold off the walls. Bloody gold is disturbing our equipment again!".

  • If "economist failures" were bad, let's turn someone else - left extremists who talk lgbt only (that is secondary to economy or whole non important factor)? or right extremists who promises moneys? Yeah, promises. Very same awesome moneys as whole world sees effects of usa and tariffs right now.

    Yep, left parties really do fail at putting the wealth disparity left, right, and center. They get distracted with whatever or issue exists that would be great to be tackled, but not first :/

  • I don't know if they can sue them, but I hope they can get other companies to join. Fighting google in court is a monumental undertaking for a company. But if they can get the EU consumer protection to sue for them, that would be amazing too.

  • Far-right populist Slawomir Mentzen, currently polling third, is virulently anti-Ukrainian and supports an "agreement" with Russia's Vladimir Putin ...

    The Polish state should really be doing its utmost worst if a Russia sympathiser can poll third. Have they forgotten how many Poles died at the hands of the Soviets?
