Aidinthel@reddthat.comto News@lemmy.world•How flesh-eating screwworms in cattle could raise US beef prices22·1 month agoEradication =/= extermination. The latter means zero left alive on the whole planet. The fact that the US stopped at clearing screworms from only North America while leaving them alive in the south (and Cuba) always left the possibility of this happening.
Aidinthel@reddthat.comto News@lemmy.world•How flesh-eating screwworms in cattle could raise US beef prices19·1 month agoThis is really bad. The US should have put in the funds to exterminate this thing while we still had a functioning government. I dislike the article’s focus on prices as the main consequence here. Screwworms are fucking horrifying, and they can affect humans, too.

Aidinthel@reddthat.comto World News@lemmy.world•Airlines prepare for nuclear war amid India-Pakistan conflictEnglish14·2 months agoYeah, that’s all true, but on the other hand there’ll probably be a lot of money to be made for a while there, so who’s to say whether it’s bad or good overall.
Aidinthel@reddthat.comto Games@lemmy.world•"I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox gamesEnglish13·2 months agoI’m not sure where you’re numbers are coming from, but the inflation calculator I found through Google says that $59 in 1992 is more like $135 today. That’s still a significant increase of course, although I wonder how much publishers benefit from not needing as much physical distribution. After the initial investment selling digital keys on a third-party storefront like Steam should be pure profit, no?
Aidinthel@reddthat.comto News@lemmy.world•Trump ready to bail out farmers amid trade war squeeze, Rollins says14·2 months agoSocialism is when the government helps people with a different skin color than me.
Well, you could just change all the names and remove all explicit references to the original and then sell it. I was just looking at the new game Tempest Rising, which is extremely obvious about copying the plot and design of Command and Conquer, but it’s been changed just enough to avoid copyright.

Aidinthel@reddthat.comto News@lemmy.world•The dollar is spiraling amid a 'confidence crisis' sparked by Trump's trade war37·3 months agoThe market may question the extent to which a sufficiently structured planning process for major economic decisions is taking place," Saravelos said.
This is a joke, right? There very clearly is no planning process at all other than Cheeto Benito’s unhinged whims.

Aidinthel@reddthat.comto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does anyone have a sign (or the ability and desire to make a quick one) that i can flash at Tesla drivers I pass to shame them for supporting a Nazi?5·5 months agoAgreed.
Cybertruck owners, though, they’re a different story.

Aidinthel@reddthat.comto News@lemmy.world•Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps21·5 months agoThere’s a simple explanation for that: they’re more committed to fascism than to their own self-interests.
The fundamental basis of conservatism is that freedom means having power over other people. Therefore they believe that any attempt to extend freedom to others means taking it away from them.
