Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions.

From the article.

Not sure if the same thing but in Japan the Pre-purchase reservation lottery has already opened.

If WA OR CA governors wanted to start forming a bloc to negotiate deals internationally that would be interesting.

For the US only, lol

Words ending with -archy and -cracy are academic words that your average American doesn’t appear to truly understand. Even academics will use those words as if it is all talking about a history long ago or a faraway hypothetical land when the problems are directly in front of us, here and now.

This is Sanders using vocabulary that will get to the brains of your working class American.

(Further, Sanders has countless times made reference to America being an aw-ligaw-kic society in his speeches)

The most powerful part of Carney’s speech today imo, after talking about the need to renegotiate the US trading partnership while looking to the world to diversify:

If the United States no longer wants to lead… Canada will.

“President Trump is taking this economy in a different direction. He ran on that. He promised it. And now he’s delivering. And yes, this is a big change. I’m not going to shy away from it, but we needed a big change,” Vance told “Fox & Friends.”

Trump is changing the economy from “up” to “down”?

Markets will still consider it a win if Trump does not else good in the next 4 years except for extend the “tax cuts and jobs” billionaire and corporate handouts. He seems to be failing at that and DOGE has only made it harder in for Congress (in a budgetary sense) for them to do it.

Who knew that hiring people based on how much they suck up to you would mean that everyone on your team (including yourself) is incompetent?

Not to worry, he just taxed all the world’s stuff on Americans.

Not really reciprocal levies but a blanket levy with a couple reciprocal actions…

Pesky truth getting in the way of the lies, damn it!

What the heck??? This is bizarre…

Lutnick was trying to competently play “good cop, bad cop” diplomacy for Trump, because of Trump’s personal fixations with tariffs, and was mildly successful as far as successes in this administration go. But I remembered we can’t have any semblance of independent thinking in the Trump administration, no siree. It all makes sense now.

The courts should order Hegseth, Gabbard, Waltz, Vance or Trump to go find the guy in the El Salvadorean prison themselves.

Surprised no one has put the “Have the day you voted for 🌈” image up yet.

Regarding your confusion and surprise, the person you replied to merely gave their reason why they bought it and supported a transphobe, and it was because this person’s sister requested that game specifically.

I know the question posed was mostly rhetorical in nature. But I’m not sure why you are questioning why someone is answering the question, and I’m not sure what kind of satisfactory answer you could get from anyone who had purchased the game (and supported a transphobe, yes, which I haven’t).

The rest of your comment is a legit response, but I’m only pushing back on the first sentence of your reply. Or even moving that sentence to the back of your comment to make it less charged. If someone’s going to answer a loaded question, let them, but get to the point about how misguided they are with their justification before you question the answer. That would likely make for a more constructive discussion. Unless you think that these answers are unhelpful in the first place, that we’re better off not hearing why people have done transphobic things with different intentions, and we should refuse to give them space to reflect, learn, then own up to their transgressions if they don’t come right out of the gate to apologize. Then sure, ignore what I said.

Obtain the warrant now, Wikler.

That’s contraband in the state of Texas.

If you want the source of any future “technical glitches”, it’s this wilfully negligent act. Courts, take note.

some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.
