Still playing safe? They’re playing it even safer than before, and they have even less to lose. I don’t understand what they don’t get. They need to go on offense. Now is the time for it if ever. They literally have no power, so just make noise and make sure everything happening is loud and people know who’s doing it.

Oh, damn. OK. That’s a really good price then!

Yep. Most AAA gaming is too afraid to appeal to a specific segment of the market. They make games that everyone is supposed to like, which often ends up being uninteresting at best.

Smaller games can target a smaller audience and still be successful. They take risks and do new things, and it’ll push some people away but many will enjoy it a lot more for it.

The thing is, those reviews must be left by someone who purchased it. It’s got a self-selection bias. People purchased it presumably expecting to like it. They thought it would be a style of game they enjoyed. Most people who think it isn’t something they’ll like will just pass over it and not buy it, and obviously not effect the score.

It looks like you’ll still be needing to pay for hotels for the nights you aren’t traveling. Still, not bad especially since you don’t have to deal with the hassle of driving. You just get on the train, sleep, and just appear at the next location.

I meant check it out if you want to be informed. Otherwise, why comment if you’re admitting you are wilfully ignorant?

I’m pretty sure they didn’t expect it to land sideways. Yeah, there are a lot of craters. They can be avoided. Check out how Firefly’s guidance system was able to change landing locations to avoid hazards.

I’m certain they were aware of that. They got to the fucking moon. They aren’t stupid.

I don’t think it’d matter much. On earth the poles get less light, even in summer, because the angle of the sun is low so it has to pass through more atmosphere. This isn’t true on the moon, obviously. The angle will be really low on the south pole, but as long as it’s in sunlight it doesn’t matter where it is. There are locations on the poles of the moon that never get sunlight, but I suspect it wasn’t going there.

The good are more likely to be killed by the evil, but there is no karma. Sometimes good guys die for no reason, and sometimes bad guys do too.

The issue isn’t the federal government tells them to fuck over Canadians (or anyone else). It’s that they don’t tell them anything. They just make Canadian goods cost more in the US. They don’t have a choice. Most businesses would rather the cost stay the same, but we have a dumb ass president who’s fucking us all over for no good reason.

The number of cars isn’t the issue. I don’t know how many times I’ve said this. That part doesn’t matter at all. The number of cars Tesla sells is what matters. More used sales means fewer new sales, all else being equal. The number of cars could remain the same, but Tesla (and by extension Musk) make less money.

Yeah, it’s hoping they agree with you and trying to give them the extra push to ditch it. Obviously this won’t effect someone who supports Musk.

The point is, selling it drops the value. This is even better than a boycot only. A boycot has people who agree not buy. Dropping used value and increasing supply makes people who don’t agree not buy (from the company).

Boycots only work so far as people agree with you. This also includes boycots, but it forces the price down and used volume up so even people who disagree may buy used instead of giving money to Tesla.

It’s never about making them not exist. It’s about destroying the value of the car, so fewer new ones are sold. If the used market is full of like-new versions for significantly lower prices, the number the company can sell will drop dramatically.

Musk’s wealth is largely in stocks. If we can make the value of his companies drop them we directly hurt his wealth. The cars don’t matter. The value of the company matters.

I promise you there’s always going to be someone willing to buy one. You’ll possibly just have to drop the price really low. I’d buy a used Tesla for a dollar, for example. If people suspect the price is dropping then hopefully they’ll panic sell, and force the price to drop even faster.

More important for your last point, it hurts Musk’s value. Most of his wealth is in stocks. Make those drop in value and he has less wealth.

I think they lost their mind.

Just FYI, 1984 was hardly about surveillance, though that’s the only thing people hear about (I assume on purpose). It’s more about how the government uses propaganda to ensure compliance and that they’re never questioned. It changes the meaning of language, manufactures enemies, and turns people against each other so you can’t trust anyone and organize. This is much more relevant to today too.

The one day ones are fairly pointless, but 40 is good. Give it a month and if nothing changes then you have a bit more time to try to extend it.
