  • Brother… Nintendo’s net income last year was 3.1 BILLION dollars. There is no “fighting Nintendo”.

    Let’s be real homie. Yuzu is done. Downvote me all you want after I post this.

    As much as we all love Yuzu, the dev’s had to have known this was coming.

    I don’t want to be one of those dudes that keeps harping on the “Nintendo should be FOR preserving old games”. We all know Nintendo will continue to kick down ANYONE so much as glancing in their I.P. 's general direction.

    Nintendo does what you Nintendon’t want. Always.

    Extreme capitalism stifles and suffocates innovation and preservation.














  • Already happened:

    https://ktla.com/news/local-news/burbank-mayor-fires-back-after-drag-queen-spanking-video-prompts-vile-hate-speech/

    *Edit: I guess I pissed off a bunch of people here without context, I was simply pointing out the absurdity of this story being pushed by the media and the GOP. I honestly could give two shits about what the Mayor did. I live in his city!

    I wanted to show how far these right wing fucks have to reach to get any sort of credibility with their constituents.

    The Mayor can do whatever the fuck he wants at a private event. IT WAS A PRIVATE EVENT. Why the fuck is him spanking a drag queen a big deal?! The only people that gave a shit are the people I really don’t want to be around. And now I’m feeling pretty alienated because of my lack of clarity here. The amount of anger that has been displayed here is actually disheartening. What happened to asking a simple question to get some explanation or debate going? Why is every political post so violently responded to REGARDLESS of political leaning? THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT! They want us to rip each other apart. No questions asked. A political sports contest with no winner other than the venue owners.

    I guess I’m going stop posting for a while and just lurk. I can’t say shit without having a chance to explain. I automatically get labeled with extreme prejudice.

    My fault for saying anything. Sorry to those I triggered. Sorry for trying to get some semblance of an intellectual conversation/debate going.

    The hate is strong on both sides. I’m just trying to co-exist.

    Have a good one everyone. Hope your days go well.


  • Oh look! Someone MAKING SENSE!

    Everything below is anecdotal, take it how you want:

    The major issue you’ll have with implementation of a program like this, is having the neo-liberal agenda calling it “homeless-tagging” . Which, in their eyes, equates to tagging a wild animal so it can be traced. You better believe the next high influence, Tiktok warrior would make a scathing I comment on it without research.

    Like “Yeah, no shit, we tag animals to check on their well being and locations. All to necessitate the proper procedures for handling them when they need help or guidance. We tag ourselves when we get social security card or ID’s, or when we take a Goddamn selfie with location settings on. The only difference is that social media and the government is handling you.”

    It’s getting out of hand here in Los Angeles. Venice was the worst. I DARE all the commenter’s in this thread that say ‘it’s not that bad’ to take a stroll underneath an overpass here in LA proper to ask if they need help. They don’t want it. Trust me. I’ve tried. Multiple times. I’ve almost got myself killed.

    The suburb I live in is currently seeing a rise in homeless people just sleeping wherever they want sans tent. For example: Today I saw a dude sleeping right next to the driveway of a public plaza on the ground with a pookie in his hand. Half a block away.

    There was also another dude just sleeping in our laundry room 3 weeks ago. Strung out. I asked him if he needed help and he told me to “fuck off”. So I called the cops, and said “hey this guy needs medical attention. I think he’s on drugs and in and out of consciousness”. You know what the cops/paramedic did? They came over, woke him up, told him to leave because this wasn’t his property. EMT asked him a few questions, checked him out and he was barely coherent enough to say, “I don’t want your help, go away”. He told the cops to fuck off as he was leaving. EMT’s followed him out and he left on a stretched after arguing with him for a few minutes. The cops said “he’s gone now, call us when he comes back”. Not “if” but “when”. Sure enough, dude was caught sleeping there again a week later by a neighbor. This time sober, but belligerent. “I’m just charging my fucking phone! Leave me alone!” was his excuse.

    So the Manager called the cops again… Rinse… Repeat. Happened again with different person this week.

    We tried the whole “Hey, come back during the day with the Manager’s permission” thing or "Hey you want some food, we have plenty. Sooner or later it was like that book “If you give a mouse a cookie”. They steal clothes from the laundry room and try to knock on people’s doors to get cigarettes. Not food. Fucking. Cigarettes.

    On the flipside, a year ago we had a lady and her old, disabled dad just wandering the streets at 1 Am in front of our apartment. We asked them if they were OK and she had explained that her dad’s medical bills made them homeless, She explained that they were just trying to get through the night without being attacked by other homeless dude. So my neighbors rallied together and gave them about 2 weeks worth of food and supplies. We all paid for a hotel room for a week to help them get some relief. Her dad passed away a few weeks later, but she was grateful for it as he was suffering. We gave her some resources on how to get some help locally. Haven’t heard back from her after that… Hope she’s doing alright.

    What a clusterfuck this whole thing is.
