Ai might be able to pull of the first half with the guy flying, but not the second part where a hand stops a rotating gun. Anatomy and physics are still weakspots

If I were going to make an argument for pre-ordering digital games, the only one I can think of is basically that you can pre-download the game

Sure but that leaves no valid reason to pre-order a few months before launch, instead of a few days.

A transferable licence on a hard copy definitely beats a non-transferable digital license for sure, but for any online game being able to play is obviously not only related to your local hardware and copy. We’re definitely going down a shitty road, but it’s not like we’re not already on it.

Highest price is not necessarily most best for profit. They likely calculated that selling it for 70 or 90 means less profit then selling it for 80.

If consoles didn’t give them a sweetheart deal we would see a PC release day 1.

There could be other reasons for that though (although i wouldn’t be surprised if you’re right)

If it is yes, but afaik they won’t do that for gta

Even if your IQ < 1 those are solid arguments.

Great advise for young men aged 25 up!

It just got unlucky in the draw for a pardon is all

Tell me a story about the US without telling me it’s a story about the US.

Which of those parts didn’t like being colonized back then?

Breaking! Something somebody said almost 3 years ago.

I’m currently experimenting giving up on trying to get your shit together, it’s quite a good life but it’s still really hard not to make choices that have undesirable effects. Especially if those choices have desirable effects in the short term. Speaking about short term gratification, i should really put away my phone and go to sleep.

Personally, i rather have them say things i agree with than living on a beach somewhere staying quiet about everything. Not saying i want him in control of anything, but the more people echo things i agree with the more likely they will materialize some day.

Better position would be that money they receive (profit) should be taxed since people also pay taxes based on the amount of money they receive (income). But that position is basically what we already have.

The problem with the system is that a corporation has different kinds of ‘discounts’ as workers and that those differences became excuses to greatly reduce their share of the bill (low corporate taxes are good for the economy, in general) shifting the burden to the working class (since all the money spent on education, healthcare, pensions etc does end up in the pockets of the people).

The true problem is not necessarily because the corporate tax is not high enough, it’s because the benefits of a succesful company go to a small amount of people, while a serious part of the costs (infrastructure, healthy and well educated worker) are paid by a large amount of people.

The ones who should really be taxed appropriately is this small group of people who extract a lot of value from the expenses the large group of people have. Let’s say a 1000 people together costs 1000 euro, while together they earn 1100, then it leaves 100 on the table. Right now the large group of 95 does not 95, but maybe 5 or 10. While the small group of 5 does not get 5, but 90 or 95. That small group that received the vast majority pay a much smaller percentage of what they received.

Imagine doing all that work and after all that still believing this is the best thing to spend the money on. Either it was insanely easy to get people to donate or he just gave up on the country.

There are many people who tried to compare current day wealth to the wealth of historic figures. Those are, afaik, never about hard facts but a way of translating an estimation. This article names 8 trillionaires for example. They give ganghis kahn an estimated $120 trillion, and consider mensa musa so much richer they call his wealth uncrompihensible. You can find similar lists online, i guess the same names will take a similar spot on the ranking, but the numbers will differ. They tend to look at relative wealth (they estimate that Elon Musk has xx % of all money globally and compare that to the estimated percentage of global wealth of a historic figure and translate that to a current day value).

You sure about that? The rich will have to pay your childcare! Also, you’ll earn at least $20 an hour. Also, your money can’t go to overpriced food, because the state will own a place that sells food. On top of that, there won’t be any datacenters, so you will be left with enough water, enough electricity and enough land! Doesn’t it sound much nicer to have no taxes for the rich? Imagine what they can do with all the money they now don’t have to spend on the other people in society. Imagine a world where they can “invest” all of their wealth. Doesn’t that sound much better? Think mate!

You see this with support for progressive / conservative policies too. Must be countless studies into what the cause is for this effect.

What a surprise!
