  • Your fear of a 3rd term makes it all the more important to vote in your future elections. As the two term limit is imposed through a constitutional amendment, they’d need to create another constitutional amendment to reverse it. They need 2/3rds of both the house and the senate to agree to even get the ball rolling, as such, it is vital that you do what you can to prevent them from acquiring those numbers to avoid that situation.

    If it did happen, I wonder if the democrats would run Obama again.




  • Well, I’m not really sure Pyroclastic Ash and Debris would hit the 270 electoral college votes needed to win the election, since most of the states outside of its campaign range would likely not vote for it. This would push the vote for president to the House, where Pyroclastic Ash and Debris has no members of their party to vote for them, resulting in a Trump victory, with the Senate picking the VP, where I’d assume they’d agree on Pyroclastic Ash and Debris’ running mate.





  • I don’t share your opinion on this matter, so I don’t know of one off the top of my head, and my quick search yielded no results.

    Normally I’d say “Be the change you want to see.” and encourage you to create a community for it yourself. However, you should probably ask yourself first, whether a community dedicated to hating something is even worth having, and then ask yourself if it is worth moderating. I can’t imagine you’d have any real great conversations when it’s all going to just be “x sucks” you’d basically just end up with the same post over and over again.


  • There are a few inaccuracies in your statement, but It was clear the whole thing was about money from the start though, you shouldn’t be surprised about this. If you were hoping for AI to be free to you, you should have only been supportive of software that you could run on your own hardware.

    Anyway, these companies are in the position of ISPs now, where they have customers, but they don’t want to pay for the infrastructure to support the amount of customers that they have, since they can make the same amount of money without making their customers happy.

    None of that helps you… Sorry…

    Welcome to episode 1 of Black mirror reality TV series!

    Well, have fun with your pig, I guess. Haha.



  • But if they have more customers then they have to spend more resources making more product. So 1 customer at 1000x the price is more valuable than 1000 customers at the a lower price. If it costs 28 dollars to make a year’s worth of doses like this screenshot claims, then they’d make $42,222 charging a single customer the current price, while they’d only make $12,000 charging 1,000 customers the proposed price.

    So for the company to make more money than they are now, they’d need 3,519 new customers for every one current customer. Since Google says there are 1.2 million people with HIV in the United States, if they have more than 342 current customers in the united states, they are making more now than they could ever make at the proposed price. Therefore the amount of new customers is almost certainly not worth it to them.

    Money seems to ruin pretty much everything about healthcare.


  • Just do it, once your city has enough money if the bank, or your income is large enough, double down on making a highway. Demolish some buildings and tear your city in half, just like in real life. Most of the time if you have enough traffic that you need a highway in the town, you could probably avoid it in game, by enhancing the public transit options, however, that wouldn’t be realistic as to how cities are really run, so doing a highway every now and again is a fun change of pace.

    The best way to get good at making a highway, is to make a highway, you can do it, set it up however you want, and see how it works. If something doesn’t work right, change it and find out how to make it work for you. Or if it is broken, it may be more fun to leave it broken. Stuff like that happens in real cities all the time.

    Make sure you adjust your public transit options when you’re done splitting your city in half with your highway, since your bus routes will be interrupted.


  • Michelle Obama would have lost for sure. Remember, she’s the one who all the kiddos were blaming for having their school lunches ruined forever. And whenever kids ask why their school lunches suck today, they still get the response, “It was Michelle Obama’s fault”.

    Obama was elected sixteen years ago, so anyone who was in school at all at that time can vote now, so we have nearly 20 years of voters who will hate this person for ruining their lunches when they were children. It would never work out and would have been a really poor choice to run her, since Dems typically require the younger vote.




  • There were a few games that worked on the OG gameboy, but were GameBoy color games, the ones that come to mind first are Pokemon Gold and Silver. You could play them on the og gameboy, without color and missing some hardware features, or you could play them on the Gameboy Color as they had intended you do. It was a really nice addition.

    I always thought of the GBC as its own generation, since the games were mostly incompatible, just as I thought of the GBA as its own generation for the same reason, but really, it’s almost just arbitrary.


  • There was a bump out, but I don’t think it physically stopped you from putting the cartridge into the console, I don’t have a GameBoy on me to check right now though. You’re right about the missing notch though, but that would only stop you from starting it on the original Gameboy and not the Gameboy Pocket or Super Gameboy. I know for sure I saw the Pokemon Crystal error screen when I tried to play it on the wrong device after being able to play Pokemon Gold on the older hardware.

    Maybe I’m the one misremembering?
