Zagorath OP ,

Trump is so desperate to get the Peace Prize, just because he's an incessant narcissist. He got his start running for politics because a few jokes from then-President Obama hurt his feelings, and trying to beat Obama at everything he had done really stands over Trump.

Zagorath OP ,

I'm not sure I see how your argument fits together. Nothing you said is wrong, but it doesn't dispute the point I make. It doesn't really even try to, apart from the words "I disagree" at the start.

Zagorath OP ,

I mean it's pretty obvious that Trump does care a great deal about the Peace prize. He was going on and on about it last year, and even convinced FIFA to give him a Temu Peace prize instead.

And Trump's insecurities surrounding Obama have been much documented since the beginning of his 2016 run. Those insecurities provide a pretty significant motivation for his desire to get the Peace prize.

Honestly your first picture could also be a good example to demonstrate ring species, which are a great countertexample to the "reproduce to produce fertile offspring" definition of species.

What companies actually make decent mid-range laptops these days?

Zagorath ,

How is their site (and product) as an option for your non-techy mum? Also does shipping end up being exorbitant if you're not in the same country they're based in?

Zagorath ,

If you'd had it on your bingo card at the start of the decade that'd have been a shocker. But after Trump openly suggested the possibility early last year, it's hardly a huge surprise if someone predicted it this year, even if he did quieten down on that front towards the end of the year.

Zagorath ,

Stupid scare "quotes".

I highly doubt they’d do it this blatantly if they were not confident this is an easy sell

I mean, I would have agreed with you, except we've also just recently seen even more blatant and indefensible union-busting from Rockstar in the UK, another country with good labour laws, and another country with more than adequate legal resources.

I think you're probably right that Ubisoft has sufficient legal cover to win this case, but that's because of the merits of this case, not because a big company from a country with good laws could never do something stupidly illegal.
