How does any empire crumble? It's always from within.

Icarus is about to realise that the wax wings melt...

It's such a dumb name, that it makes me genuinely furious there there are people out there who have lied and impostered their way into positions where they can make such decisions, while having absolutely no clue at all what they're even doing in the building.

Apple intelligence makes sense, because the abbreviation is AI. Pretty smart and simple if you think about it.

But Copilot is the kind of name Apple would choose for its product. Things like centre stage, launchpad, facetime... They're all very descriptive and cool sounding names of their software products. Copilot is a great name that they're throwing away along with Cortana because their crappy practices are crappy.

Yes exactly. A large number of their older titles exist on other platforms like the Switch and of course, the PC, where gamepass lets people play those titles for a very affordable price.

All the more reason then to make games like Starfield and Halo infinite the absolute best games they could be

Indigenous population scared about their wellbeing? Wellbeing from what? What possible threat has the indigenous population faced recently that you need to be all up in arms about it?

This is a report on Gov.uk

In 2022/23, white individuals accounted for 78% of arrests, 8% were of black individuals, 8% were of Asian individuals, 4% were of mixed ethnicity individuals and 2% were of other ethnicity individuals

In 2022, 77% of all males prosecuted for indictable offences were from the white ethnic group, compared to 86% of all females prosecuted

Since 2018, white defendants have had a consistently lower average custodial sentence length (ASCL) than all other ethnic groups combined for indictable offences.

Black prisoners served the greatest proportion of their original sentence in custody.

What is your point? What are you up in arms about exactly?

Ok, let's compare, shall we?

Millions of people out protesting over the murder of thousands of children in Gaza, and protesting the UK's complicity in those crimes by directly sending weapons to Israel. No crimes committed, no riots, no disorder. There were a couple who held up flags and inflammatory symbols or shouted crude slogans and they went peacefully when they were arrested.

Thousands of children murdered, peaceful protest.

In contrast, a far-right counter protest against the Palestine march in London ends with the thugs clashing with police, being violent and causing damage https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-far-right-football-hooligans-blamed-violence-pro-palestinian-march-london/

Recently, 3 girls brutally and abhorrently murdered in Southport, but EDL thugs who honestly couldn't care less about the victims and just wanted a scrap, took to the streets and torched police vehicles, injured many offers. The perpetrator ended up being a Christian, and yet the EDL mob went and targeted a mosque.

3 children murdered, outright anarchy.

EDL have proven that they're just in it for the fight. They just want blood and they don't care what the trigger is. Absolutely pathetic. They piss about in school, get bugger all in the way of grades and end up at the building site, blaming immigrants for their troubles. Spineless knobgobblers, the lot of them.

Halo Infinite - failed
Starfield - failed
Forza Motorsport - terrible launch
Redfall - failed

Out of curiosity, I googled exclusives for Xbox series exclusives. They've got things like Forza Horizon 5, sunset overdrive and Ori. Like, sure, but you can't say proudly that your console is being held aloft by 4+ year old titles when the competition is releasing banger after banger!

They just missed the mark. You can spend billions on R&D and marketing for a new console, billions on buying up game studios to make new games, but if your games suck on launch, people won't play on your console.

What XBox has done this generation is borderline suicide.

The right answer in this case

Trump promised he won't open the Epstein files if he gets re-elected. Suddenly Musk started throwing money at him and breaking any rule to censor the opposition party and smear them.

This has little to do with the lying orange Turd. Musk cares about his own pedo past and is desperate to not have that info leak out.

Fair point, makes sense. Thanks!

Why are they still saying "suspected" shooter?

How much evidence does one need before they can definitely say something?

The entire world agrees it's a Genocide. The whole world also agrees that the US is an accomplice in the Genocide.

US bombs are constantly found among the corpses of women and children sheltering in tents. If Biden isn't responsible then you're as deluded as they come.

Also, I'm not "ignoring everyone else's concerns", I'm ignoring your concerns. Some random dude on the internet

I've realised I'm talking to a literal child. Grow up and take this seriously. I'm talking about the citizens of Gaza who are suffering here as a result of Biden's insistence on supporting this war. I'm not interested in exchanging one liners with an internet goblin.

Look, I am just as anti-Trump as the rest of the sane voters but your arguments don't do you or the Dems any favours whatsoever.

Biden is the one responsible for thousands of deaths in Gaza. He said he's a self proclaimed Zionist, effectively saying that he supports the Israeli war on a personal level.

OP was right. Biden has been allowing this to go on and without US' support, this would have ended long ago. And not only denying that what's going on in Gaza isn't a genocide, but flat out rejecting that there's no famine, even when you're able to count the ribs of children is pathetic.

So what was the solution? Biden should've said he won't run for another term. It's too late for that now and Dems may pay the price.

Biden really is going senile and he really isn't fit to lead another 4 years. Yes, you absolutely can't have Trump return, unless you want the US to become an autocratic dictatorship and spark a civil war, but letting Biden run with this much baggage is suicide. I'd be happy if Dems win, but let's wake up and stop kidding ourselves. We should not be surprised if Trump wins. The Dems have never been this fragmented and we needed everyone to come together last time to beat Trump (and even then it wasn't a landslide!)

If your best argument for Biden is that we can't have Trump, then you're just ignoring everyone else's concerns about a guy who has presided over, and actively and consciously encouraged a genocide. It's not enough this time to simply avoid Trump.
