I got curious. This showing is in about 90 minutes, in one of the reddest counties in the country.
There is another show tonight that has about 10 tickets sold.

Well I’ve seen enough to know it’s not even worth a hate watch:
Security is a privilege, not a mandate. Nixon dropped his in 1985.
Becoming a fugitive from justice would count as voluntarily giving up lots of privileges, the very least of which would be a publicly funded security detail.
You want to feel really old?
It’s real:

Unhinged entry level employee screaming and swearing and threatening the CFO and spit in her coffee mug.
An email went out to the whole company telling us not to let him in the building before he even got back to his desk to be fired. This is a software company, not exactly the type of place that has armed guards, but the (ex-military) information security dude set up in the area packing for a few weeks after that.
A rather obtuse reference to removing the OtherOS feature well after purchase. I tried to adapt it to game terms, but admit it’s a stretch.
Out of all the boardroom discussions, raising the price was actually the most consumer-friendly suggestion from Sony. Others included:

Nintendo patents video game inventory system.
Not the onion.
(Not a patent lawyer, and I’m sure it’s more complicated than that, but come on)
Trademark is generally industry specific, so you are probably technically correct. That may not be enough.
You can bet every Tupperware lawyer would be opposing that mark. You better have lots of money to spend years in court. Even when you’re in the right, you can still lose.
The idea is that it gives moderate republicans a path to voting for her.
Without the endorsements, they would feel like they’re betraying their principles and their party to vote D. With them, they can make a choice: Lots of rank and file voters will stick with Trump, but if a few party leaders, recently respected within the party, can vote for Harris, maybe that isn’t such a betrayal after all.
Will it change the vote by 5-10%? Basically zero chance of that. But if it swings a few thousand voters in some strategic areas, it can make a difference. It’s not a strategy aimed at very many people, but those votes on the margins matter.
I haven’t pushed it anywhere near 10,000 km, so I should be good, right?
Right?
Sounds like just the publishing side was affected. Lots of other independent developers are kind of in limbo in the short term, which does suck.
Hopefully they can get out of any contracts and go to a publisher not associated with that family.
If the race were between The Literal Devil ® and Jesus Christ (D), the vote total would be 45%-55% just based on the letter they choose to run after their name.
Policy doesn’t matter when people base their entire personality on their political party identification.
They do point out that they will be monitoring how it’s used, and could adjust things later.
Sounds like corporate-speak for “if people abuse this, we’ll lock it down harder.”
Even if people are using it to share with actual family around the country, they may get caught up in future updates that remove that feature. Also note that any publisher can opt out of the sharing. If EA or Ubi or some other big company doesn’t like the lack of limits, they may be able to force Valve’s hand in changing the policy.
The idea is wonderful, but there are a ton sof ways this could end up worse than the old system.
Sony bought all the “Xbox is dead” talk (true or false doesn’t matter, Sony believes it), and has started the high-end gaming console monopoly pricing.
Old, but still mostly relevant:
There are things I disagree with Harris about, but this cycle, I’m a single issue voter.
That issue is “never having to experience Trump in any office ever again.”
Hopefully my politics can be a little more nuanced next time.
If we’re gaming the whole scenario out, I imagine it would go something like this.
None of his current convictions are expected to come with a custodial sentence, but say he loses the election, and the more serious trials are heating up. At that point, he knows he’s toast. 2028 is too late to run a fourth time; he’s got no more hail marys, so he dismisses his detail completely, retreats to Florida, and sneaks away to Saudi Arabia in the middle of the night.
He’s got a private jet, so getting out of the country shouldn’t be a huge problem. But I think you’re right that he has to set all this in motion before a guilty verdict is delivered. At that point, getting away from the secret service would be much more difficult.
