stopthatgirl7 , 1 year ago to gaming in PlayStation 5 Pro ‘Project Trinity’ Details And Release Date

It's ironic - I was a playstation gamer, but bought a gaming PC figuring I would mostly use it for xbox exclusives after they bought up all those companies before this console gen started. Then it was so impossible to get a PS5 where I live that I got so frustrated I've written off getting one and have started PC gaming exclusively. I'm so fed with Sony and their BS that when a friend asked if I would get a PS5 now that they're somewhat available, I was like, "lol nope."

Meanwhile, not a single thing I'd want to play has come out yet on xbox, which was the whole reason I got a PC to begin with.

The price hike happened after they reduced the amount of metals used so production costs went down and after they dropped the weight so much that shipping costs also dropped. They just wanted more money after seeing how much the scalpers were getting.

I assume it means for nursery school workers to report it to their bosses at the nursery schools, who would then report it officially.

I kind of love Frakes having to take what he'd previously dished out to the directors. That's hilarious.

People have been telling him that since the late 90s early 00s when he was trying to change PayPal’s name to X. He refuses to listen.

Not nurseries, nursery school. It’s for kids too young for elementary school, so about ages 3 to 5.

I’m not sure what you’re not understanding. Can you clarify?

If you are a sha-in worker, yes. For other workers, not so much. I’ve also been working in Japan a good 20 years and my wages haven’t changed at all the last several years and the recent jump in food prices and energy bills is hurting. And that’s not just me; everyone I know feels like they’re slipping behind in ways they haven’t before. Wages have stagnated for a lot of people, and most folks working contracts are not getting those increases you may be.

Oh, it is so much worse than the article says.

In the section called "Things My Wife Does That Make Me Happy," it lists:

1. Chores
   She packs my lunch every day.
   She keeps cooking for me after giving birth exactly like she did before.
2. Raises the kids
3. Gives me massages

....like. TF are these men.

This is a follow up on a story I posted here: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/247020/Human-head-found-at-home-of-suspects-arrested-over-Sapporo

And this story just gets wilder the more information that comes out. The mother got arrested, too. The whole family planned this, seems like.

I do not get the rush. He’s clearly not thought any of it out, which is obnoxious by how piecemeal the rollout was.

The second largest market for Twitter is Japan. The legal entity for it in Japan is Twitter Japan. So, seems like they’d charge it to X Japan, right?

Well, no. Because the trademark for X Japan is owned by the very famous over here rock band X Japan. One of the founding members, Yoshiki, already tweeted in English and Japanese that the name is trademarked. So what are they going to call it? ¯_(ツ)_/¯ That’s something so basic even a rudimentary Google search would have said the name was unavailable in the second largest market, but Elon couldn’t even be bothered to have any of the grunts still stuck working for him look into the actual logistics of using the name he’s stuck on.

The only reason I can think of that’s not Elon’s manic drug bender wearing off of the idea I’ve seen floating around that he’s trying to force through the face charge to get out of legal and contractual problems by making it so “Twitter” as a compact doesn’t exist so greed not on the hook for any payments Twitter owes. At this point, both ideas seem just as likely.

Ffs. That’s a thing you finalize BEFORE pulling the trigger on it.

This is just more proof of the ad hoc nature of things over there, and how everything is dependent on his protean-ass will. And he thinks folks are actually gonna trust him with their money?
