With the tariffs, prices aren't going down across the board. Besides, $450 is still cheaper than the competition.

1) I'm not from the US, its around the same price or more expensive in EU/UK/Canada (cheaper in Japan tho)

If it was like especially expensive only in the US then I'd agree its only down to tariffs

2) I'm not actually bothered by the console's price, it's a lot but I mean ps5 Pro was like $700, switch is claiming it can do 4k 120fps this is what consoles cost

But when I say "switch 2 is expensive" it's not just the box itself. Ppl expected the big games to go up to 70 dollars but $80 for Mario kart?? In this economy???

Not to mention how many new features are only useful if you buy Nintendo switch online, the requirement for special SD cards, the paying to upgrade your switch 1 games to the switch 2 version (I'm not as bothered by this one as long as the price isn't too high but like it adds up...)

Also that switch 2 tour demo thing costing money at all??

[Insert the section of the Jenny Nicholson Star Wars Hotel video where she explains that you shouldn't charge luxury prices if you're going to use the Spirit Airlines nickle and diming approach to pricing]

I don't even remember if the Nintendo Kinect camera is sold separately or not

3) what they showed us was cool but tbh there's nothing i couldn't live without (especially if you don't have NSO like me, so even that cool looking Mario kart wouldn't be something I pick up)

It looks good... if you pick it up in a year's time when there's more games

I'm not an economist or trying to suggest a grand protest

I was just giving my thoughts on the direct "that's neat, now let's wait until its a better deal"

found out my coworker who believes very strongly in astrology and always plans his day around his daily horoscopes just got fired for swiping probably about a hundred bucks in cash from his boss like five feet away from a security camera pointed right at him. bestie the things that affect your daily life are much much closer to you than alpha centauri. like that security camera, and your boss

Once you start thinking about humans as a species in a biome, it affects your entire way of looking at normal things.

The other day I referred to female morning joggers as an 'indicator species' in that if you see women jogging in the dark it means that the environment provides migration pathways (sidewalks, clear signs) and doesn't have any known predators of female morning joggers (guy with knife, bear, BigTruck, male morning joggers).

Though, I think that people consider framing humans as animals reacting to their environment as rude.

this is perhaps evil but I can boost my mood in almost any situation by playing a game called "what was my mom doing at this age?" like rn for instance I'm sleepy because I had a 12 hour work day + stayed up late, and my stomach hurts a little from the enormous chimichanga I smashed for dinner, and my head hurts a little bit from the fat margaritas I had with the chimichanga. and it's like hmm, okay, not optimal, but when my mom was this age she had a 2.5 year old to deal with. can you fucking imagine. can't stay in bed decadently bemoaning your overindulgences because there's a goblin in the next room that's utterly dependent on you for food and hygiene and social needs and if you drop the ball you've fucked up a perfectly good person. and I'm pretty normal so shout out to her for keeping it together but god that couldn't be me, I like fucking around way too much.

Some women are conditioned to be fragile and weak, and to believe that it's a sin to outperform a man. Her feminism would involve allowing women to be strong.

Some women are expected to be strong at times when they can't. Her feminism would involve reassuring her that it's okay to not be strong.

Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're too stupid to ever amount to anything. Their disability activism would involve reassuring them that they're capable.

Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're smart and gifted, and are expected to live up to impossible standards. Their disability activism would involve allowing them to fail, make mistakes, be stupid, etc.

Some children are constantly reminded "you're the child, I'm the adult" in order to deny their autonomy. Their youth rights activism would involve treating them like an adult at times when they feel ready for it.

Some children are treated like adults in order to justify increased expectations or to downplay abuse against them. Their youth rights activism would involve allowing them to be a child.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to oppression. Each individual person's experience is different. Whatever trauma is caused by their oppression, the activism should focus on undoing it.
