> This doesn't affect me therefore I don't care about my fellow citizens.


Wild speculation about the future doesn't affect anybody.


Exactly how is it wild speculation when they are outright admitting that they want to do it, and they have enough far-right reactionaries on the court to do it?


Are you kidding? Republicans vote in lock step according to The Great Leader. They would send us back to the 1800s if they could. I have no doubt in my mind.


Last time I went to the dispensary near me in Michigan, the budtender started off with the 100mg gummies when I said I was looking for edibles.


> 60k is just a bit more expensive than your average car

If by "A bit" you mean about 30-40k

30k more expensive: Than your very-low-end-"average" car.

40k more expensive: Than your average used car.

AFAICS. All in what one sees as an "average" car, I suppose.


Ah yes, the myth of the swing voter.


Well I'm one.


> Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos did

Elon Musk was born into an already wealthy family and failed his way upward.

Jeff Bezo's wife was already a millionaire when he started Amazon

Neither of them had "hard work" or "grit", despite the whitewashing both of them have done of their rags-to-riches story. They are where they are because of generational wealth and familial connections.


There are a million and one rich kids with generational wealth and familial connections. Yet not all of them turn into Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos. Luck is assuredly a big component of success, always, but saying things like Musk "failed his way upward"... lol no


Take your meds


Hey, thanks for the advice, how much do I owe you, how do I pay you for your services? Do you have a bitcoin address?


Me me me! What about me!?


It is a case of "me me me" indeed. This is why people support canceling existing loans instead of changing the college tuition/loan system. They don't want to fix things for future generations, they want to fix their own problem with their own student loan and move on.


Neither of those solve any real problems. This is literally the classic crypto "Solution looking for a problem"


Albeit with a limited library (Although I'd say nearly every game worth playing is already on there, besides a couple N64 games). For reference, with the Switch Online subscription you get

* NES

* SNES

* N64

* Sega Genesis

I guess you could argue that Gamecube isn't represented yet, but that's the only major out of date system that isn't included (Understanding that almost any game playable on the WiiU is also on the Switch).


You don't get N64 or Sega Genesis with the basic Nintendo Switch Online subscription, you need to go for the more expensive "Expansion Pack" subscription to get those.

The N64 library is quite small, and only has a handful of games. I mean, the ideal N64 library is also quite small: only 306 North American or PAL (~English language) games were ever released. But 306 seems so eminently achievable that it makes the small selection of games on the service that much more dramatic.


> Although I'd say nearly every game worth playing is already on there, besides a couple N64 games

I'd say it takes a very narrow view of what's "worth playing" to say that.

To me, the Switch Online emulation services are defined by what they're missing.


What would you say they're missing? I mean, all of the NES, SNES, and N64 Mario games are on there, along with all of the Zelda games on those consoles. Nearly all of Nintendo's IP's are on there. I can't really imagine anything that it's truly missing.


(edit: This comment speaks to the N64 only)

Nintendo IPs: Donkey Kong 64. Diddy Kong Racing. Kirby 64 (Crystal Shards). Any of the Pokemons. Any of the Bombermans. Excitebike 64.

Non-Nintendo IPs: GoldenEye. Any of the Tony Hawk Pro Skaters[1]. Either Duke Nukem. Doom 64[2]. The second Banjo-Kazooie. Wave Race. Earthworm Jim.

[1]: Pro Skater 1 & 2 have been released for the Switch separately from NSO; $40 for both of them as a bundle. 3 has not been released for the Switch.

[2]: Doom 64 has been released for the Switch separately from NSO; for $5.


The non Nintendo IPs are necessarily Nintendo’s to use.


The $40 THPS 1+2 isn't emulated, though, it's a full remake.


I had been lead to believe that it's a source-port + remaster, not a full remake. But IDK.

Likewise, I assume the Doom 64 release is a source-port, not emulated.


> all of the NES, SNES, and N64 Mario games are on there

Super Mario RPG isn’t.

Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy 6, Mega Man X, TMNT. I’d even pay a couple bucks to waste an hour playing Bart’s Nightmare again.

Pokémon is a nonentity.

It’d be a hell of a nostalgia trip to play Rampage, IronSword, Monster Party, Linus Spacehead, Treasure Island Dizzy, Super Robinhood, or Boomerang Kid.


Chrono Cross and FF6 have rereleases out now (don't remember the platforms). The issue with that being you have to play Chrono Cross, which you probably don't actually want to do.

It does have Radical Dreamers though.
