  • 2 things to note: They want to deport him to Syria or Algeria and not to El Salvador so hopefully he remains free at least.

    The judge making this assessment is part of the executive branch and not a federal judge and made it on very literal terms (spineless and ethically bankrupt but not the final decision). Secretary of state said hes is a threat to US foreign policy in writing therefore he can be deported as the law states that he can be deported if the secretary of state says he is a threat to US foreign policy.



  • Yeah, it is a fight but I think you’re misunderstanding the sides involved. A small company with like 5-15 employees (just an example) also has mouths to feed. Larger multinational corporations can and have passed American tariffs costs along to buyers from other countries to “soften the blow” for American buyers and are usually better equipped to weather the storm by taking a hit to profits over the medium term than small businesses. At the end of the day, only business logic applies because the unfortunate reality is that no one cares if you can’t afford food or housing in most countries so benevolence is not an option for most.


  • I don’t love exploitative companies either (this one seems to be on the smaller side and exploring all avenues) but why would they willingly lose income that they probably rely on to live for some sort of greater good when they can just advertise in different markets especially when they’ve already done the legwork of setting up production in China. Even the most ideologically comitted business owners wouldn’t willingly lose money unless they were doing it for PR (We’re not just talking about losing out on profit at a 104% tariff rate)













  • It refers to either a limited time reward structure where you pay for the ability to earn rewards such as cosmetics or other perks in multiplayer games such Fortnite and Valorant (If you don’t earn the needed XP within the designated timeframe then you may not even get those rewards you paid for) or access to DLC content in general for both single and multiplayer games where some functionality/maps/modes are gated behind a single or recurring payment.


  • Some RNG manips are straight up harder than just hunting them in SV tbh. Anyone can get/buy a Pokemon Home account with 1000 genned shinies if they wanted to so it’s up to you to determine what you consider “legit”. I enjoy hitting timing required to get shinies through RNG manips so I do it. Some people think gen 9 shinies are too “cheap” and others don’t use shiny charms and only hunt full odds (but still hunt on multiple systems at once for whatever reason). It’s a weird rabbithole to go down so just do what you want. No one is going to grade your shinies.
