"Go woke, go broke".

Seriously, has this really happened to any company?

It's easy to claim Bud Light, but they were doing fine until they backed away from supporting LGBT, then they had trouble (from both sides), so it's just as easy to claim "Go fasc, no cash".

Because emulation is legal. It shouldn't have to be hidden. This was taken through the courts in 2001 with the Sony vs Bleem lawsuit.

What appears to be happening is Nintendo is abusing its power and money to make threats of legal action that these groups just can't afford to fight, even though they haven't done anything illegal. It should be coming as a surprise that Nintendo is coming for them, because this is completely legal, and not some fan game using Nintendo IP (which is what they normally shut down).

Welcome to nutritional science. This is common with just about everything in it.

When I had to take a course on it, this was quickly pointed out by the professor, with an egg as the example. Some years it's the best thing you can eat, others it's the worst.

Yeah, but they were just a bunch of Monkees

I think music staring going downhill when music was no longer an audio only thing. Once bands were expected to make videos, posters, and "act" on stage, suddenly a lot of musicians had problems getting into the business. They want to make music, not become pseudo-actors.

What's happened is GTA Online suddenly switched to using BattlEye for it's anti-cheating. And this broke Steam Deck compatibility suddenly. Now, this is bad enough but reports state that BattlEye will work with the Steam Deck, and all Rockstar needs to do is just send a message to BattlEye and it'll just work. But Rockstar doesn't seem to be interested in sending that email.

That would be a part of Telsa, as it calls out Musk's actions there.

Hate speech doesn't get protected under free speech. These aren't the same.

Problem is, the knife can't be found. So all we have are the polices word that there was a knife.

I think you might be confusing cause and consequence: it's not that the Brits and Dutch can't eat that stuff because it all gets shipped to France as the prices are higher there, it's that because the Brits and Dutch are not eating that stuff the prices are lower in Britain and The Netherlands than in France (were they do eat that stuff) so it mostly gets shipped to France.

I think you're confused. You literally repeated what I said.

You don't see much organ meats in the Netherlands and the UK much because they are shipped to France where the price is high (and being a part of the EU, the isn't any extra taxes for that). It's market choices, not dietary, combined with they were never a huge desire for them there.

I never said that they can't, it's that they didn't normally so they ship it out which now prevents people from developing a taste for it as it now goes out for a higher price.

As for the other part of why Portugal keeps it, it's for a local market and the issues that deal with it. Think like most Asian nations won't ship out rice for a higher price on the open market.

I've been to the USA, I've seen dessert pizza.
