From the games listed.

And yes, now I see it’s 80-90€ / 70-80$.

Although funny how for once Europe might get the cheaper game price vs the USA (ours has tax built in, US will vary by state)

Only some 3rd party cartridges have a download key on them, and they’re significantly cheaper than the ones that don’t.

Also where is the 90 price I keep seeing on here coming from? I’ve only seen 70-80 prices for first party titles. Bravely Default (which is a download key tho) is only 40 isn’t it?

There is justice. Many just don’t want to administer it themselves, which is understandable.

I’m sorry, do you genuinely think that burning some random guy’s car is actual retaliation?

When that car has become a symbol, definitely. The car being burnt isn’t random after all.

Otherwise your statement has the same energy as saying we shouldn’t burn some random guy’s work uniform. It omits that this is the uniform:

You really underestimate how many people buy above their means for cars.

As far as I’ve seen, most Teslas being scorched are dealership ones, not personal ones. But even if it were a personal one, isn’t insurance mandatory in the USA? Probably would get a bigger payout if someone did torch it rather than trading in at a dealership. And would definitely probably get more out of it than if it were just keyed and the tires were punctured. Bonus, one less swatsicar in circulation.

Unfortunately due to how insurance works, damaging Teslas is yet another way to raise premiums.

Also, this isn’t about joining a cause anymore. This is about the only method of retaliation left. I assume most who could afford a Tesla (which was always on the higher priced side of things) are also those who could have by now afforded to do a trade in for basically any other car for months by now.

If I myself somehow still had a Tesla, I’d get rid of it for a used car if I had to. If I could afford it though, I’d pay for a punk band to create a song against Elon and Trump, and shoot a music video of said punk band and friends destroying the Tesla in slow mo and lighting it on fire, ending it with the car blowing up.

Actually, how about you find poor people who own a Tesla and reach out to them. I’ll crowdfund for them so we can make this music video happen, and the proceeds will go for them to buy a new car. Find me more than one and I can do different music videos - maybe dubstep or electronica while this guy shoots his plasma cannon at it. Or Classical music or an orchestra as we destroy a car with icicles and rust for example.

Actually even if somehow all environmental pollution stopped at once, assuming it stops before a runaway event too, it would still take a long time for some greenhouse gasses to not have an effect. And that’s not even getting into PFAS and adjacent chemicals and microplastics as macro plastics break down.

So either way, should still expect things to get worse for a while even if somehow everyone actually banded together to make things better.

PS: the math is pretty certain on some of this stuff too.

I get the sentiment, but wouldn’t you be more effective at that point from attacking within enemy lines?

Yeah, basically a defense mechanism to the world going to hell between the rise of authoritarianism, stupidity, war, feudalism 2.0, microplastics, and the increasing severity of climate change that will only worsen much more.

I think that’s what they do in the frog and toad story too

Oh right, I forgot they mostly do that in the USA don’t they? Don’t know if France does, but Finland has multibrand dealerships

Why did the dealership buy more Teslas with that money instead of a different brand?

If you get rid of the building only though and not the cars, that’s double damage.

Yeah, that’s… The Democrats. In particular the leaders of the DNC.

They’re just standard liberal oligarchs instead of full on fascists

You had me until you said “moderate republicans”.

That’s just a standard Democrat like Pelosi.

Having been near death a couple times, I can say the human body seems to have mechanisms for physical trauma death more than advanced synthetic techniques.

Bleeding out really just gets you very cold pretty quickly, and then very, very sleepy. Also a warm, cozy feeling the closer you get to falling asleep. Drowning is similar, and so is asphyxiation but there’s a bit more panic and random colors first with asphyxiation before the void kicks in. You’d think it’d be the same as drowning but no - maybe with water there’s some primordial memory of the womb that activates?

If you do have a chance at surviving tho, make sure you stay awake.

Why do you think he wants to be right all the time?

Scrap probably has some value.

Alternatively, make money off a YouTube video of blowing it up

I don’t think it is. I’ve lived there, and I get it. And if you’re not paying taxes to the US government, you’re technically doing more against them than probably 90% of Americans are.

Oh yeah I already pulled a lever, but I pulled one many years ago by choosing to move to another country. And getting rid of my American citizenship (they charge taxes even if you don’t live there anymore).

This lever is now for Americans to pull.

That said, systemic assassination has been proven to be very effective at changing things in the past. Sometimes for the worst, sometimes for the better. That’s the gamble.

The issue is that such a tactic is really hard to pull off, because it needs to be focused more on those already in power rather than those who are power adjacent. Power adjacent people are best removed once power has been transferred.

Of course, this isn’t the only lever for people like you to pull. You can choose a peaceful option, like not paying taxes anymore, therefore not funding a fascist regime. Of course, regardless of your choice, the state will use some form of violence against you.

So no matter what, you’re choices are to risk your comfort, or to be complacent. Even something like leaving is sacrificing comfort. So, what will you choose, FlyingSquid? Or had you already chosen long ago, like I did?

I hate to admit it but damnit, they’re kinda right. At the core this really is a trolley problem. The whole point of the trolley problem is that it’s a moral dilemma.

It’s just feeling harder on y’all now, because now it’s more real. Sure right now it’s easier to not pull the lever, but if Trump and other oligarchs end up doing much worse things, would you regret not having pulled it?

The trolley problem was really always about revealing your values, and specifically if your morality chose the possible wellbeing of many over the few - even in tough situations. Because in real life, the choices aren’t usually “1 vs 3” random people, but something like “1 terrible, 1 innocent, and 8 bad people” vs “society at large”.
