  • I want to really know how often this works. Has there ever been a single instance where someone says....."let me read this popular. Oh my! I really should get am extended warranty. Let me just click accept."

    And even if they do accept it, what then? Does Dodge expect the person to continue reading the terms of service and enter their credit card info....in their car?

  • Completely agree. BioWare started it's downward trend when it thought it could cash in on MMORPG billions by creating Star Wars: The Old Republic. Don't get me wrong, Bioware made awesome games until ~2010. They were bought out by EA in 2007, and that is where we can clearly see that passion was lost. Good games still came out, but they weren't great.

    I will always hold a special spot in my heart for the Elder Scrolls. I've played since Daggerfall in the late 90s. I got into Fallout later, but went back and played the originals (except for tactics). A lot of people hate on Skyrim as being janky, but I was there for the original release. Did it have issues? Of course, and it still does. But this was 11 / 11 / 2011 we are talking about. Skyrim was doing things that no one in gaming was doing well, and they told a good story to boot.

    The issue that I have with most studios is that they step away from the ideas of furthering or completing a story just because they can't think of a new gimmic or mechanic to make it hugely profitable. They need those profits to justify the staggering wages paid to the CEO's. Not to the writers, programmers, or artists.

    So Bethesda lost a lot of love when they (like BioWare) attempted to cash in on MMORPGs with Fallout 76.

  • The main issue I see comes from regular headlights being replaced with LEDs and other High-Intensity bulbs. Don't get me wrong, Bubba with his lift kit is just redneck high-beams, but I get more frequent glare from someone in a Sentra who decided to put LEDs in her stock headlight assembly that wasn't made for LEDs.

  • Plus, think about the logistics of that.

    Goods produced in the US are categorically more expensive due to infrastructure, cost of living (and therefore wage expectations). If we could wave a magic wand to transplant an effective manufacturing facility from Pakistan and place it in rural Mississippi, hire Americans to do the work, and begin pumping out goods, the price to produce the goods would increase substantially.

    Americans wouldn't be able to afford American made goods, which is true even now. Many Americans try to buy American "when possible", but cost quickly outweighs patriotism.

  • Spotify gave $150k to the Trump inauguration. I believe that is what OP referred in the previous statement.

    It probably should have read "I switched to Deezer when I found out that Spotify donated to our Lord and Savior Trumpus Christ."
