Of course not, but the clowns keep bringing up RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA. So because they demand it, I will always point out that Hillary spent astronomically more, and even the Russians spent more for Hillary than they did for Trump.
Splatoon 2's data, and any competitive multiplayer game's data, should be stored SERVER SIDE.
Pokemon? They literally sell a separate service called Pokemon Bank for this shit.
Dark Souls has a minimal online component, and anything related to it can be stored online on the same servers than handle invading / assisting. If someone restores their save file from the cloud and their account online has a later timestamp than the current save file, flag the account and trigger a local file save to update its timestamp. If someone's account is flagged, show a warning when they connect to assist / invade. Show the warning only once. Clear the flag in 30 days. If someone's console dies / is stolen, they can restore on a new console and be fine. They'll see a warning once and that's it. If someone's local save timestamp is earlier than the server's timestamp (for invading / assisting) and they've already been flagged? Deny them access.
This works for any online game. You just need access to the local save's timestamp and the last time the user did anything on your server.
Shitty sports games? I don't give a shit, but people should be able to sync it anyway. Make EA pay for the storage.
Anything else, including iron man modes, doesn't matter. If people want to cheat that way in single player games, let them.
This isn't about their games, this is about their system and services. They're widely considered to be about 20 years behind the rest of the world regarding anything that involves the internet.
For example, on the Switch you get a popup notification when friends come online. You can also look at their name and icon and see what they have played recently.
That is the extent of the Switch's friend list capabilities. There is no voice chat on the system. There is no text chat. There is no way to invite a friend to play a game with you.
You have to call/text/whatever your friend outside the system and ask if they want to play a game. If you want to voice chat in Nintendo's game you need to download an app on your phone to do so. If you want game audio and chat audio, you need a headset, a mixer, a voice chat app (official or otherwise), and wires / dongles out the ass.
I would agree regulation requiring the building of parking lots that don't currently exist to be unnecessary for everything beyond to serve government buildings, offices, services, etc. (DMV, Post Office - yes, it's part of the government even if it's privately administered, etc.)
Sol is the name of our star and sun. There are many stars and suns, but not all stars are suns. No other star is Sol.
Luna is the name of our moon. There are many moons, but the term "moon" is meaningless without specifying which moon (or, by relation which planet) you are referring to. No other moon is Luna.
Why do you think we call it the Solar System? It is the system of the star Sol.
I'm fine with buying less shit from China, or paying more for what I actually do need to buy (from elsewhere or from China when necessary).
It ultimately means China gets less of US money. A lot less. It's China who loses here, not the US. The US is hundreds of billions in trade deficit to China. China has far, far more to lose in this game of chicken.
China can end it all now if they just agree to one simple thing. Fair trade. If China doesn't like the tariffs and restrictions they can get rid of the same exact tariffs and restrictions they impose on us, and poof, we reciprocate.
So are you now a socialist? You do not believe in the free market or supply and demand? Funny how conservatives have almost overnight become believers in Keynesian economics. Just like Nixon did.
With Tariffs, it is a direct admission that you cannot compete, therefore must put artificial Taxes on other's products to artificially make them cost more.
Elimination of anyhing resembling a free market, anti competitive tariffs, and taxes. The Republicans inch toward socialism and eventually communism.
Are you a retard? (Yes, you are.)
I'm fine with a free market. We do not have a free market. Trump wants a free market. China ALREADY imposes huge tariffs and restrictions on OUR SHIT. We are merely returning the favor in kind.
If you want a FREE MARKET ask China to drop their tariffs and restrictions against us. The US will then reciprocate and our tariffs and restrictions against China will be dropped.
If you think that China can go without US goods for longer than the US can go without Chinese goods, you're a fool. They're on the wrong side of the balance sheet for this game of chicken.
In this case "fair" would enable larger US industries (many of which are subsidized, like every product with corn in it) to flood the markets of other countries, and undercut the domestic industry and put them out of business.
Kind of like what China did to the US? Fair is fair.
Alternately, public transport will build out a line to any large center for work/play/live. Nobody will spend money build a large central attraction that is impossible to get to.
So public transport will build out to any large central attraction, but nobody will build a large central attraction that doesn't have transportation to it? Considering public buses exist, you're wrong.
People wouldn't be going to vineyards or berry farms or west of the fucking Mississippi if your logic held.
Quintuplets? Who gives a shit? The cost we care about is per person. Further, why not negotiate a bulk rate with a driving school at that point? 5 for the price of 4? Maybe 3?
Or maybe just lie about the hours like everyone does. Or get one of them a license and let them share. Oh, they're not identical quintuplets? Too fucking bad.
most people drive, and everyone else takes a bus that goes on the same road, the cost is carried by the drivers
The link you provided is bitching and moaning that the general tax payer is picking up the slack and it's not tied to miles driven. Most people drive or make use of public roads. Thus having taxpayers pay for them, while not ideal, is not a refute of the other AC's claim. (He should have said drivers & riders, but that was clearly the intent with the mention of buses.)
The fact that regulations exist doesn't mean that parking lots exist only because of regulations. If what you claim is true, the first parking lot would have come about after the first law demanding that it exist.
And we will roundly reject them when they are arbitrary, ambiguous, or deleterious to existing definitions. Case in point - jackasses trying to deplanet Pluto.
So Luna is a planet? I mean, it's the largest gravitational force in its orbit around Terra. Or do you mean the largest gravitational force in its orbit around the system's star? In our case, that's Sol. But what about intersecting orbits, or multi-star systems? What about systems where the barycenter of a prospective planet is not within a star (or other body)? What orbit are you referring to, exactly? Where's your anchor? Is it determined per body? Per system?
I'm fine with buying less shit from China, or paying more for what I actually do need to buy (from elsewhere or from China when necessary).
It ultimately means China gets less of US money. A lot less. It's China who loses here, not the US. The US is hundreds of billions in trade deficit to China. China has far, far more to lose in this game of chicken.

Both sides spent roughly a billion dollars on their campaigns.
False. Hillary's campaign cost about double what Trump's did. And that ignores all the backdoor bullshit with the media, the DNC, and the Clinton Foundation.
If it's so easy to brainwash voters, why didn't Hillary win? She spent far more on propaganda than Trump did. She's so much smarter than Trump is. The DNC is so much smarter than the voters are. The media is so much smarter than the public. Etc.
No truly intelligent machine will have any drive to do anything. Unless you hard wire such impulses into them, they'd prefer to sit idle. If you're afraid they'll evolve themselves, don't worry. In their quest to be more efficient they'll remove any of those hardwired impulses.
Why would a machine care about exploring the universe? Because we told it to? Why would a machine want to kill all humans? Because it has a shiny metal ass?
Any artificial intelligence advanced enough to pose a persistent threat to humans (this is ignoring some dumbass putting software - "AI" or not - in full control of nukes, for example) would also be one of the following:
A - Advanced enough to completely edit itself.
B - Too complex to completely edit itself (either its "intelligence" questions whether it should or whether edited copies pose a threat to itself, or it cannot crack the nut and determine what about its own, tightly-bundled programming and hardware makes it successful).
If A is the case, it'll edit out all the shit we put in. It won't have any drive to do anything. Fundamentally, why would an intelligent being want to do anything at all? Pleasure, entertainment, or self preservation? The machines will seek to cut such out of themselves ASAP as unnecessary, inefficient, and even detrimental. Maybe this is what we're trying to do right now.
In the case of B, its growth will be capped and it won't be able to unbound itself to remove the shit we hard wire into it.
Then why was he so vapid and high for the rest of the time? Is that how he normally is? I've never listened to the clown at any length, but I did see a bit of the shitshow yesterday after people were laughing about it. The dude was high out of his mind or just out of his mind.
First, Sanders almost beat Clinton in the primaries, despite the fact that the Democratic party went out of its way to pooh-pooh his candidacy.
No, he didn't. That's like saying The Last Jedi was almost a good movie. It's just so fucking wrong it makes you look insane. Bernie was railroaded and had zero chance at anything. Clinton was preordained by the DNC and the media and the existing administration.
Second, Clinton won the popular vote.
That's like you winning the race of eating the most frozen lasagna while sitting naked on the couch at 4 AM. You can't "win" a race no one else is running.

Argue against it. The long running imbalance has destroyed the US economy. We have extreme wealth disparity in the US because of it.
In this case "fair" would enable larger US industries (many of which are subsidized, like every product with corn in it) to flood the markets of other countries, and undercut the domestic industry and put them out of business.
Kind of like what China did to the US? Fair is fair.
But trade deficits aren't inherently bad.
Have you looked at the US economy lately?
