YouTube comment of the decade:

Remember Foxconn.

I'm starting to view the tariffs as a form of gambling, a tactic that DJT seems to enjoy. They don't really generate significant wealth on the whole, but they can be used as a type of shell game with presumably DJT being the only one who knows where the marker is hidden. The real victim of the tariffs will be the public, through higher prices and more limited good selection.

2e core rulebook out in a week hope this launch go well

Does anyone remember this from 2020, somehow I doubt Trump and Bondi would be laughing at this now

Yes, I agree This deal wont benefit US car manufacturers by definition because imports provide alternatives to local goods And well priced imports now become competitive with locally produced goods But thats the nature of trade around exports and imports, its a balance and really a decision that consumers make Im sure none of us want to live in a country where you cant find any imported goods I buy EU imported cheeses all time, they obviously more expensive but you cant find the same type of cheese around taste in SA like Roquefort, Gorgonzola or UK mature Cheddar

Japanese car company stocks exploded while GM's dropped. Fairly easy to see who "won" the deal. US car makers aren't going to sell a single car more in Japan while their cars now have an advantage over others, and Japan can really use rice imports at the moment, rice prices are becoming a huge problem for the government. Not that the US is exporting or even producing a whole lot of rice anyway. Trump's really a master of negotiation and deal making. His tarrifs are now screwing over GM more than Mazda, Toyota & comapny.

I think I understand what you suggesting but here is better link around where and how the $500 billion from Japan will be invested and it raises legitimate concerns https://www.axios.com/2025/07/24/japan-trade-deal-trump-tariffs I do agree its uncertain and I can understand why anyone would think its a bribe but its also more complex and nuanced than that Firstly $500 billion is a huge amount if it is bribe, thats 14% of Japans GDP in 2024 End of the day Japan seems fine with this agreement and its because they know the benefit of access to the US markets Trump is not the reason the US is such a strong economy, this is an outcome of the decades of US economic growth and the overall success of its free market system But Trump can use this to his advantage and claim " wins " because countries want to export to the US so he can force transactional negotiations like with Japan and tariffs Thats the main point Im making, there was a general sentiment from many commentators that US tariffs wouldnt benefit the US or wouldn't be accepted by US trading partners But we not seeing that and every country that is significant seems to be folding and agreeing to some sort of deal that benefits the US China was suppose to be the best example of " standing up " to the US and Trumps tariffs but even they agreed to 30% tariffs and US exports to China are only 10% https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czx0ry7kdk5o

Comin' in about, uh... two weeks.

Maybe types like Rosey maple moths, poodle moths, or some others.

Can we get more species of moths in the new grounded? New colors and weapons and maybe even boss fights? I think that would be pretty cool.

remember the 2 trillion bribe gulf state was suppose to give to usa anyday now

edit: also, if anyone really believes Japan or Japanese companies are going to invest a single yen more in the United States than they would have anyway thanks to this agreement, I have this here slightly used bridge to sell you for cheap. It's a great deal. A fantastic deal. The best deal ever. The bigliest biggest deal ever. Don't miss out!

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/22/business/japan-trade-agreement-us Its not really a bribe, thats part of the negotiations in direct investment in the US. But they reached a trade agreement that benefits both countries. Japan will be charged 15% for exports into the USA This definitely benefits Japanese motor exports "The deal will see US importers pay 15% “reciprocal” tariffs on Japanese goods exported to the United States. But importantly for Japan, the 15% rate will also extend to automobiles and car parts - putting it at an advantage over other major vehicle exporters, which have faced a 25% levy on automotive sector exports since April. " Its interesting how Trump has been able to get countries to agree to these types of transactional trade terms and this is because of the strength of the USA economy and its buying power So we shouldnt use words like " vassals" because its about economics and if there were other export markets that could absorb the USA buying power countries would be using them It reminds me of our South Africa trade imbalance with BRICS, we have a trade deficit with BRICS of R230 billion and a trade surplus of R37 billion with the USA And yet now we facing US tariffs people are saying " lets just use BRICS to trade, we dont need the USA" But BRICS isnt buying our goods as much as they selling\dumping goods on us So BRICS is clearly not going to replace the USA as an export market But the main point Im making is no one is being forced to export to the USA, any country can decide who they want to trade or export with. If you can find other export markets then use them and just ignore Trump and his tariffs?

Scientists are developing artificial blood that could save lives in emergencies If it works in humans, this could be an amazing advance. Good to see.

Maybe cuter moth armour with fluff or something.

Can the moth armour come in different colors and can the headgear have moth antennae ontop of it instead of a headwrap? Also can we get a repeating crossbow the old game only had the slow crossbows and when getting swarmed by a bunch of small bugs it was kind of annoying waiting to reload each time while dealing with them all.

For me the game only loads my actual save while offline, anytime im online t puts me to a save i dont have from a month ago. i feel like ive tried everything from making hundreds of saves to uninstalling the game. i even went offline and midway through the loading turn on my internet thinking it would work but when i loaded another save nothing changed. if some knows how to fix this please help!!

I still need to watch Prodigy. I'm surprised I've liked LOWER DECKS as well as I have.

Wife couldn't stand what they did with her favorite captain so we never finished the first season of Picard. I think Prodigy was easily the best NuTrek and closest to old Trek in heart and feeling.

usa force japan to pay 550 billion as bribe for low 15 percent tariff wonder if eu will have to give much bigger bribe or will they actually be useful and shake off their vassal mindset

If it is possible to "delete" a character with a script like that, would it be possible to instead swap out a character for an exported adventurer / sidekick light as per Kvellen's prototype?
