It used to be a lot better. For the SNES they made a collection of all super Mario games (literally all up to that point) as a single game for the SNES “Super Mario All Stars +”.

I think the biggest issue with the Mario galaxy bundle, is they had released the “3D All stars collection” a couple years back (which got flack for not containing Super Mario Galaxy 2). So if you bought that game, you now have to pay $70 ($100 CAD) just for Galaxy 2 (Making the re-release of the game more expensive than the original).

Yeah, looking into things like BYD you can clearly see that China was willing to pump a lot of money into their fledgling EV companies (not that Tesla didn’t get money through loans/car subsidies, but seems like a different scale).

Hmm, looking more closely at my original source it doesn’t really state in clear terms. Looking online it sounds like they’re making a net profit in 2025, but I can’t find any sources older than that.

I’m not saying they solely created the market, but they did play a role in making the current EV landscape.

If you just go by sales numbers, I think they had the top selling car from mid 2010s-now. Given the EV market is still growing, I think it’s fair to call them a first mover.

For comparison BYD, another long term player and leader in the EV space, took 17 years to turn a profit (if I’m reading their wiki right).

That seems like an unfair comparison. Tesla played a huge role in creating the consumer EV market and I imagine had to bear the burden of a lot of R&D costs. I’m sure Xiaomi is doing R&D, but they’re entering a more mature market with existing supply chains and known paths to success that they can lean on.

Had friends who recently had a kid, during the pregnancy they had a list of states they wouldn’t travel to for this specific reason.

People seem to forget that abortions are part of Healthcare. Making them illegal means youre preventing people from being treated properly.

Sorry to disappoint, but Velma is Indian in the reboot, as Mindy Kaling is Indian.

You’re not wrong, the title is misleading and click-baity. The actual content isn’t too bad at first, but by the end it’s just a random physcologist speculating about her state of mind.

Yeah, everytime I hear her age I do a double take. First that’s just a young age to be dealing with all of that, but also it seems to have aged her by over a decade.

Bakery/the smell bread makes while it’s rising.

The qoute says the “authors”, so this law is not exclusively tied to actors, but generally works of art and the people involved in creating it. Thats why I called out things like remakes.

And while you are right that in many of my examples there would probably be contracts to avoid these issues, my point was to show how easy it is to break this law (and that copyright owners do it all the time themselves).

Also, fair use for parodies is not a thing in all countries - not sure if it is in Denmark.

Yeah, it also seems weird cause things like remakes, parodies, trailers, etc. all would technically violate that law.

I mean, you don’t get paid everyday, missed paydays are the metric of pain people are feeling.

Surprisingly, actually two different agencies. You have CBP (Customs and Border Patrol) which do - customs and border patrol, and ICE (Migration and customs enforcement) which do - mostly immigration stuff.

Yeah, just imagine what would happen if he had gotten in an accident. Even ignoring abducting the child, can you imagine what a mess that insurance report would be?

I’m sorry, you think it’s normal for federal agents to drive away in a citizens car WITH a child in it?

Not to mention it was a 1 year old, and the family doesn’t know what happened with the child during the HOURS they had here I their custody.

I imagine that it would be a decision that just affects things going forward to avoid all of that.

~~~~The fact they got a case at all says that people were still willing to allow a case.~~~~

Edit: I was wrong, apparently they dropped it down to a misdemeanor so they didn't need to get it past a grand jury.

As Avenue Q says - Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist.

But also, I never said anything about racism. To me it seems like there is a large part of the US that is willing to give up the ideals of our country (due process, free speech, voting rights), if they can get the policies they think they want.

I mean, I’m not the original commenter and I don’t think they’re literally nazis myself. But ~39% of Americans have stood with Trump through both presidencies. When every poll (popularity, opinions on ICE, shutdown, etc.) seems to land around that same number, it means there is some consistent cohort there.
