Most likely actually non profitable. With crapton of Chinese cash, they can keep paying studios more of a cut than Steam, giveaway games, pay for exclusivity. Their goal right now isn't to make money, but to take market share

In the perspective of realpolitik, he's fucked anyways. He's down >10 points with young voters, and currently below Trump in swing states polling (just 1 so far, could be meaningless as a metric, but still relevant). DNC will support Israel because they're a major political donor. The Ds went too hard to fast early in this conflict and it's too late to backpedal. He'll have to try really hard to either try to win back the young votes, or appeal to the moderates and never-Trump Republicans.

This whole election cycle is bizarre, nobody wants neither Trump nor Biden. Their favorability is abysmal, one's about to go to jail while the other appears to be half dead. I honestly wish we had decent 3rd party infrastructure and rank choice voting, but I don't think we'll be breaking through this 2 party bs this cycle.

No, you don't get it. You know, there's all these details and context and it's so much more complicated than that. To put it the way you did is just so simplistic and misses the point. /s

Had to scroll all the way down for this comment. The only response to this article should be : "Thanks for making this happen"

Israel continues to expand their occupation of Palestinian land, though. Do you think Palestinians in Gaza have no stake in the well-being of other Palestinians in East Jerusalem and the West Bank?

Do you consider Hamas the aggressor in the overall context of the Israel- Palestinian conflict?

Can't make her own decisions so needed to give power of attorney to her daughter, but can make decisions that would impact millions of Americans and international politics

If France was in support, it wouldn't have been called the Coalition of the Willing since the war would've been approved by the UN. It was only named that since it was an illegal aggression against another country by the international standards, hence the need to get other countries involved to legitimize it.

Honestly, that what businesses want because it checks off a box in their cyber insurance application. They don't care as long as their ass is covered.

Another aspect of this conversation was what was posited by the Sapir Whorf Hypothesis. The experiential differences in perception of color can also be attributed to differences in culture / upbringing which influenced one's processing of the stimuli itself. I tend to oversimplify it to the firmware analogy. Sometimes you get raw input and the languages provide different libraries for comtextualizing this input.

Last time I used it, things like seeing who liked your profile and super liking other profiles (normally you get limited number of those and they indicate that you're really interested), and seeing who viewed your profile.

One major issue is that Tinder is full of bots. The company doesn't sanitize it cuz it's in their interest to have men feel like there are more women on it than there actually are.
