    Those books were successfully banned, eventually the cases went to the supreme court which found removing books for simply having same sex couples but aren't sexual explicit to be discrimination. 

     

    That's not really the point, the majority of currently banned books aren't banned by woke leftist, they are banned because "adult themes". There are a few for racism here and there but more seem to be banned because conservative concerns than "woke" ones. 

     

    It's not an easy answer, there's no single - clear cut - up to date list but after digging through several credible sites that have cataloged banned or "challenged" titles, none of what you are saying is true or even close to it. 

     

    How about you just stop making shit up and lying? Why is that so hard for you? You have been clearly just making claims you feel are true based on how much you hate the left and woke people at this point. 

     

     

     

     

    Here's an idea. Both the left and right should not ban, rewrite, alter, remove any book no matter how offensive or inappropriate someone may say it is. It should not be up to someone else what I can read. I fucking hate that shit. I don't care if it's "outdated". If the book was written at a time when standards were different then leave it and maybe ad a disclaimer. It should never be removed. Same with removing statues or exhibits. We had our Royal Victoria museum fucking gutted for diversity reasons leaving barely anything in it because of an exhibit called "old town" which was a recreation of Victoria (capital city of British Columbia) in the early 1800s. Apparently it's out of touch and racist because because.

    Where the fuck is a harry potter book banned in Canada? Lmao

  3. Federal prosecutors accused the couple of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in cash, gold bars, a Mercedes-Benz C-300 convertible and home mortgage payments in exchange for using the senator’s position to benefit the businesspeople and the government of Egypt between 2018 and 2022. The two were charged with conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud and conspiracy to commit extortion.

    He's done it before and was still voted back in. American voters are fucking weird. Half the country wants Trump back in, New Jersey voted this guy back in. Like what the fuck?

    Not really, it’s how innovation and progression happens. Just because they aren’t releasing a console yearly doesn’t mean they aren’t actively building the next one at almost all times. I don’t even think this would result in more units being made. 

    Imagine if they put all that effort and money into releasing a phone every 3 or 4 years instead of 1 year. It wouldn't feel like you're buying virtually the same thing every year. You would notice more of a difference. There would be a substantial jump.  

     

    I have a pixel 7 pro. I had a pixel 6 pro prior to this. They look the same, they perform the same, they are the same except for a slightly better camera and slightly better display. Only reason I "upgraded" was my screen was smashed and it's so expensive to fix these stupid unrepairable phones now.  No removable battery, no easy screen fixes. I blame apple for how dumb this shit has become.

    Another lie. I looked up the most banned or requested books for banning in Canada and it's mostly conservatives. Definitely way less books than the US, but famously the Harry Potter books are high on the list, for witchcraft. The Golden Compass because of its atheist views.

     

    Most Canadian book bans seem to be due to offensive langue or drug use/sexual content. 

     

    There were only a few books for "racism", including the autobiography of Malcom... For being racially insensitive to white people.

     

    Why do you keep fucking lying and making shit up?

    Oh geeze, more stuff about teachers and their gay agenda... 20 years ago. @Mr. Housesee what I mean about this shit being cyclical? 

    They are not BANNED. There may be attempts at removing them from elementary school libraries. That is not a ban and they are never successful. 

  6. As part of Microsoft’s big, self-imposed FTC leak, a document outlining the company’s April 2022 gaming results provided a clear look at the respective popularity of the company’s two current-gen consoles.

    Notably, 74.8 percent of Xbox Series owners purchased the S, while 25.1 percent went with the X. What’s more, the S accounted for 65 percent of Xbox Series console sales that month. It’s worth noting that Xbox boss Phil Spencer predicted as much during the leadup to both consoles’ November 2020 launch.

    Tell that to the millions of gamers they will be leaving behind in developing markets if they go digital only. Unlike Xbox whose primary market is NA and UK, Sony is a worldwide brand and some of the regions they sell in will still have dogshit internet infrastructure and need for discs. The console itself may not have a disc drive built in but I’m betting there will be an option for external discs at the very least. No way they leave that money on the table. 

    Developers and publishers wouldn't bother if Sony is the only one making games on physical media for an add on device. It would be niche as fuck. The entire world has Internet now, and most games require internet to even play single player.

    I bet you’re wrong.

    I bet I'm not. You think in 2026 or whenever it's coming out they will still be using physical media? It's a waste of money and resources. Plus it's bad for the environment and governments are banning plastics and shit. Who knows how far they will go 🤷
