Nintendo cares a lot about killing off emulation and ROM hosting wherever they can, actually. They send out cease and desist letters all the time and many projects and websites have been killed because of it. Thousands, I think, from single-person projects like “Another Metroid 2 Remake” all the way up to Team Xecuter. I think one of the Switch emulators that was in progress a couple years ago got killed off by the lawyers.

The catch is that reverse-engineered emulators being made without any Nintendo code, and made without the intention of profit, are not a violation of copyright law or Nintendo licensing and Nintendo has no grounds to sue the makers. But they’re always keeping an eye on such projects waiting for something actionable.

This is why any given Nintendo emulator website or Github repository you can find will have zero links to any ROMs or any sources for them – because anything like that will get an immediate letter and possible lawsuit.

Edit: I remembered right, Yuzu actually got sued and had to pay Nintendo 2.4 million USD. It’s also dead in the water. https://www.pcgamer.com/software/nintendo-v-yuzu-switch-emulator-shut-down-settlement/

Bernie Sanders consistently polled better than anyone else against Trump in 2016

The US government banning anything based on suspected use of forced labor is laughable. Pretty blatantly anti-China, and very hypocritical when a lot of US states use glorified slave labor. It is quicker to name the large US companies that don’t use prison labor than the ones that do.

That is a horrific endorsement and Dick Cheney is a monster.

I don’t think Israel’s government cares.

Classic playbook for him and his successive governments: constantly trading human lives for political power and votes.

“TikTok does what every social media company does but this time it’s Chinese so it’s bad” is what this headline should really say.

The US Army says tampons are fine for patching bullet wounds in an emergency.

This is exactly what I was thinking of. American liberals are almost entirely ignorant of how much violence their government exports – and especially how much of it is targeted specifically at leftists. Marxists haven’t gained power in the US because any time they started to build working-class support they got murdered.

Not really a surprise; the political establishment of even the Republican party got really sick of Trump during his time in office because of the chaos. He didn’t behave like the typical useful idiot President and torpedoed a couple of easy legislative victories by tweeting in rage when they were almost through Congress.

“Marxists have failed to gain power because they think too much” is one hell of a liberal elitist take from the author of this article.

When “we have a right to defend ourselves” is the excuse given for genocide it’s completely unreasonable

Isn’t this literally two days after she parroted the Zionist mantra “israel has a right to defend itself”?

I’m a Trump hater but this sounds like serious exaggeration

Every foreign government at this point knows Trump is really easy to bribe and influence, so they want him back in charge. Certainly not unique to China.

This is never a popular thing in any country when it’s attempted.

Why did the RNC invite a union president to speak in the first place? Seems very out-of-character especially considering what he said on stage

Looks like even Chinese citizens aren’t immune to “Murica best freedom” propaganda.

The Supreme Court idea of judicial review was, essentially, created by an early Chief Justice using the classic children’s excuse “the rules don’t say I can’t do this so therefore I’m doing it and you can’t stop me”

Edit: I had this somewhat wrong. After reading, it seems a lot of the people who wrote and debated on the Constitution wrote strongly in support of judicial review, and it was in fact voted on and approved by multiple state legislatures after the Constitution was adopted. It simply wasn’t worded explicitly into the Constitution. Chief Justice John Marshall did issue an official ruling that made it a standard practice but it was not a new concept.

I’m referring to this, in the article.

The conservative justices appointed by his rival, former President Donald Trump, are “already gutting voting rights, overturning Roe, decimating affirmative action, and so much more,” Biden said. “Are we going to let that happen? We can’t.”

The Democrats are, in fact, letting it happen.
