Ok, now listen to me. Please, PLEASE, never again say something like

it’s a very stupid take even in its own framework

You never know who’s reading this and I guarantee you that there is always someone ready to take that as a personal challenge.

My experience with Animal Crossing started on the DS with Wild World, as I’m sure it did with many others. The game drew me in with its colorful villagers, daily routine, and slice-of-life feel. Years later I got back into the series with New Leaf on the 3DS, putting hundreds of hours into it. The progression system felt just right, and the level of customization for my villager was a real treat. However, when I finally got a hold of New Horizons on my switch, I couldn’t help but feel let down. Rather than a town that felt like it moved on when I didn’t play, I felt like I was in total control. Villagers would have to beg me to let them move out, rather than just leaving on their own. Everything felt a bit too… Doll-house in its design?

Are you me? No, wait, I started with the gamecube game back in the day, but for the rest… are you me?

I got new horizons expecting it to be just a better new leaf and it was a huge let down. I spent hundreds of hours in new leaf, I barely made 40 on new horizons and only because I had friends to “play” with (if you can call it play, the game was so empty of everything!). Even the upgrades to shops and the house were a letdown.

I will definitely try the mod, because I miss the old animal crossing a lot!

I find it funny how it’s been a couple of days that we are seeing “this is the last straw” articles.

There shouldn’t be a “last straw” because in a normal functioning country, the first straw would have gotten him in prison for high treason.

And that first straw is not even from the last year.

America, you fucking elected a child rapist that 5 years ago orchestrated an insurrection and even publicly rooted for the people that invaded the capitol!

If only someone would have warned them he’d do exactly that (among the rest of terrible things he’s doing)…

But alas, only half of their own country, all of europe, most of asia, whoever watching from oceania, almost everyone in south america and anyone following from africa told them this would happen, so how could they know he would do it?

He owes us money because a paper says so. If we decide that paper has no value, we can simply act as if the money he owes us is ours again, since it’s just a contability annotation.

Why would you want to see a circle?

You don’t even need to add them. After all, that money doesn’t physically exist. It’s just an annotation on a contability book. Just erase it and the debt is no more. If the world decides to “erase” those debt annotations on their contability books, the US debt stops existing.

The billionaires are the ones paying for it. The democrats… they are getting paid to let it happen.

Yes, because until not long ago, the US were a country with shit stuff but somewhat reliable.

If you remove the reliability from the equation, one of the parties will most probably stop lending money to the other.

High doubt. Musk and other billionaires don’t have that money. They have shares of companies that are worth a lot… today.

They are rich, they do have money, a lot. But most of it comes from those shares. Is tesla’s shares drop to near 0 value, musk will have shit.

Also, the us can’t make any primary goods on their own. Whose iron are they gonna buy? Whose aluminium? Rare earths? Hell, even the oil will be a problem. Not to talk about electronics; do you think china won’t take taiwan if all this happens?

Yes! This is absolutely the last one! After all, in the last 19 days of the current year, he’s behaved as a totally sane and not-unhinged person, right?

At a certain level, economics are just about good will.

If the whole world sees that the US don’t want to pay, on mutual accord, we can decide that they don’t owe anything to anyone, effectively cancelling the debt.

After that, the US will remain out of the rest of the world without the possibility of borrowing any money at all.

They have to eat. They need to buy guns, gear, ammo… an army is expensive af.

An army of “free patriots” will last more or less a couple of months if lucky before they realize they need money to eat.

The way he’s pushing his shit, I’d be surprised if the states are still united bè the end of the decade.

I’m dreaming with this. Burgerland stops paying a loan and not only they stop getting any more loans, they simply could close the binders and say there is no country anymore.

The internal chaos that would ensue would force us to invent a new term: fourth world, for a country that fell so low that even third-world sounds too good for them.

how long can an army obbey orders if they are not paid?

it would be the bank’s problem if burgerland stopped borrowing money. Instead they keep going because they can’t fund themselves. I wonder what could happen if nobody lent them any more money.

Search “trump letter to norway”.

This.

The manbaby is not smart enough to understand politics. He just understands force. By not doing anything “by force”, he just keeps being a manbaby while the world drifts away from him without him even realizing.

What’s going to happen here is that one day, the turd will start another tantrum and, instead of saying “yes, sir, you are right, now let’s keep being friends”, the same people will just look away the same way a parent ignores a kid throwing a tantrum over a snack they did not get.

I’m not sure it will be unfuckable to be fair. The amount of damage (reputational and whatnot) is so big that the country is right now a banana republic with a toddler autocrat. The only reason people still cater to him is his army. But even for that to keep working, he needs money. And there’s a limit to how much other countries can tolerate.

He’s dumb enough to not realize the US is drowning in ever-growing debt that other countries could simply cash in and send the whole manbaby imperialist fantasies to hell in a month or less.
