@rotciVArt I think Nintendo misunderstands. I think most of us would be happy to have anything sprite, 8bit, whatever style game that we got for FireRed, Gold Silver, Emerald, etc. We don't always need them to push some graphics boundary to impress us and have sales.

chega a ser inacreditável o quanto os sprites 2d eram mais bonitos e dinâmicos que os modelo 3d de Pokémon

U.S. official to Al Jazeera in 4 weeks: the military operation in Iran is “‘now expected to last months, not just weeks”.

@tim_sandsquid63 @amlivemon Britain and France famously disinterested in the rest of the world from their homeland
English
@amlivemon There's an advantage to madman theory of IR. We're the Nazis, they're Britain and France.

Serbia? Absent
Iraq? Absent
Iran? Absent
Venezuela? Absent
When is this multipolar world going to act to protect allies? Just curious. 🧐
Live Monitor@amlivemon
Multipolar world? As the U.S. does whatever it wants to Venezuela while China and Russia are absent?

@friendly_gecko @DeepDishEnjoyer Don’t agree with them, but I don’t think Kamala was advocating for price floors lol

@DeepDishEnjoyer Remembering when price controls was the Smart Reason not to vote for Kamala.

Two possibilities:
1) China is overconfident, is overplaying its hand, despite having a weak hand overall and a weak economy;
2) the US is overconfident and underestimating/misunderstanding China’s moves as desperate power moves to gain leverage rather long planned tit for tat that only activates upon perceived US provocations.
Overall, I find what the FT article portrays to be the US officials’ thinking to be quite comical. China’s govt is much more top down and centralized. The idea that finance and commerce depts would fight and one would step in front of the other sounds much more like the US rather than China, a constitutional and cultural difference I had discussed over the weekend.
In China, no such serious policies are released without approval at the highest leadership levels. In the US however serious policies can be drafted 20/30 year old genius staffers or, many of whom hang out on this platform. Policies are often not fully coordinated across depts and agencies, which represent different centers of power and ideological spectrum or hawkish/dovishness. I can see a scenario in which one is used to such ways of operating in the US also projects such imagery onto China, which doesn’t operate this way at all.

@jcarterwil @scottlincicome The difference between a soy stockpile and a mineral stockpile. Is that minerals don’t rot
English
@scottlincicome Military does stockpile a great deal, on the DL. Also as EOL buys in certain chip technology.
As does China. We still are not sure how much Soy China has stockpiled.
English
Stockpiling is a smart move, though I wonder why the Pentagon hasn't been doing this for a decade - especially when prices were low due to ample supply and calm geopolitics

@BlakeJefe @meta_x_ai Fair enough I just don’t think investment vehicles are the best at representing purchasing power. As they’re effected by macro events. Big Mac index chooses a product that pushes towards break even cost, and people only buy the product to consume. Only price increases are inflatn
English
@LZIMR @meta_x_ai In relation to the big mac index lol.. its effective, doesn’t really bridge the concept to the rookies. 2 charts dont tell the whole story. You know that
English
Hellavu job breaking down the concept of purchasing power and income..
Institutions have confused the people. This post should have 1m retweets

The stock market isn’t growing If you price the S&P 500 in dollars it looks like it’s a great investment If you price the S&P 500 in Gold you’ll see the true story The goal is to grow your purchasing power not just have “bigger numbers” Once you see you can’t unsee
English
@BlakeJefe @meta_x_ai Golds not a good item to use for purchasing power since it’s fluctuating good that is a store of value to be traded against inflation. Big Mac index is a much better measure of purchasing power erosion. Since the good is the same across time periods, and isn’t a store of value
English
@meta_x_ai You’ve missed the concept of the comparison. You may be a bot tho, so your fluffing for engagement

@GordonGekko420 I can confirm (1) lack of self-control is not limited to your generation and (2) not all sober folks post. (Some of us go out of our way to hide it.)
English
I don’t think this generation has any self control at all so instead of just having semi regular casual drinks with your friends they all have to posture and post about being sober because if they touch alcohol they’ll black out

U.S. ADULT DRINKING HITS RECORD LOW, GALLUP FINDS Alcohol consumption among U.S. adults has fallen to its lowest level since Gallup began tracking in 1939, with 54% reporting they drink — down from 58% in 2024 and 62% in 2023, and below the previous record low of 55% in 1958. Gallup’s annual survey found fewer Americans drink regularly: only 24% had a drink in the past day, and 40% went more than a week without — the highest share since 2000. Average weekly intake dropped to 2.8 drinks, the lowest since 1996.

@grimywaifu1025 I might try this, that's a good til thank u. but tbh between finding autistic friends and overall just learning to be myself comfortably I think I don't need help with it that bad

Did we ever find out why Snake said this lmao was it some kind of inside joke at Nintendo?
Like, I know Sonic is Sega, but Snake isn't Nintendo, so what beef would he have with the blue blur?

@DeepDishEnjoyer It’s because bears are wicked. They only win at the expense of others, and inversely curse the world for succeeding at their expense. Bulls are pure of heart and celebrate with the world when they succeed, and mourn with the world when they fail.
