Civvie? No, I'm the other guy!

Well played. Especially since these two are about the only youtubers I even bother to watch.

Should just be Xen anyway.

All the major cities are majority Democrat. All the major industries run business out of the major cities.

As much as the wealthy are short term thinkers, do you really think they'd be okay with tanks and guided bombs absolutely wrecking their cities and making it impossible for their laborers to get to their dayjobs?

Tanks in the streets don't usually make people feel safe enough to leave their homes. Indiscriminate bombing doesn't either. Having your city bombed to smithereens ain't good for business.

You're forgetting that they would be occupying the US itself, and in throwing down like that would absolutely terminally wreck what is left of the real economy. If bombing your own major economic centers to hell and back is "holding your country militarily" then you've made a huge tactical error.

it was a way to support the film

No shade, just throwing this out there.

It's one of the most popular films ever on Netflix, it was produced by Sony Pictures Animation, and animated by Sony Pictures Imageworks. Neither Netflix or Sony are exactly hurting for money.

The soundtrack is released by Republic Records which is owned by UMG, which is one of the "big three" record labels (along with... Sony Music Entertainment, kind of surprised it wasn't released by Sony honestly).

These giant corporations and the suits who run them will receive way way way way way way way way more of the money you put into their pockets than the artists who made this great music (and film) will ever see.

I'm glad you're enjoying art that moves you! Just... putting this in perspective.

For what it's worth, Sony Corp at least generally supports Democratic candidates when it comes to politics, at least more often than Republicans by far.

Dug in a little bit and ended up here:

Which was linked to from here on the original Yuzu site:

The flathub manual installation via command line still works. Unless flathub has been hacked (which there is currently no evidence that they have), it's the same Yuzu. Seems to be version 1734.

flatpak install flathub org.yuzu_emu.yuzu

The response from the server indicates this is the same Yuzu.

I am happy to build from source, but I don't have the source.

No, but he literally does not control elections, as they're run at the state level. It's why he's going for more work-around ideas like working to villainize things like vote-by-mail. It's the same play as it ever has been for Republicans, make it harder to vote so only the rich who support them can actually make it out to vote. Make it increasingly difficult for the lower classes to have their voices heard. The dumb yokels may be the loudest Trump supporters but one of the biggest blocs of Trump voters were business owners and other relatively wealthy citizens.

Yeah it's way more likely ICE will be used to occupy cities in general. For one, they don't have the same rigorous health standards that the military does, and for two, they just massively ballooned the budget of ICE for the specific purpose of recruitment. A lot easier to get dumb easily controlled thugs that way then trying to get the military deeply involved. The military being sent out is just Trump trying to pretend he's swinging his big dick around when it actually shows how weak he must be to be doing it.

Except you will actually lose a significant number of your military force to do that. Who is going to replace the ones who leave? The majority of MAGA die-hards aren't actually physically fit enough or able to stop using meth long enough to actually cut it in the military. To keep troop levels what they're at (which is definitely not enough to wrangle the whole nation) they'd have to drastically reduce physical fitness and drug abuse standards.

Germany took Europe with about 18 million soldiers throughout the entire war, and Europe had about 540 million citizens overall before World War 2. US has around just over 2 million soldiers (with only 10% in "boots on the ground" combat roles) with about 350 million citizens, all of which are far more spread out over the US than they were in Europe.

The ability for the US military to occupy and hold it's own nation is absurdly low, honestly, imho.

Evidence to support my assertion: https://www.military.com/daily-news/2022/09/28/new-pentagon-study-shows-77-of-young-americans-are-ineligible-military-service.html

Pentagon study from 2020: "A new study from the Pentagon shows that 77% of young Americans would not qualify for military service without a waiver due to being overweight, using drugs or having mental and physical health problems."

The new Naked Gun film has one joke only seen by those watching with subtitles on. It's pretty late in the movie, too.

Do you know where to get that final build of Yuzu anymore? Asking for a friend.

EDIT: Flathub still works:

flatpak install flathub org.yuzu_emu.yuzu

Same thing works for final build of Ryujinx:

flatpak install flathub org.ryujinx.Ryujinx

ICE is "Immigration and Customs Enforcement" which, yes, is a Federal-level law enforcement agency. They are absolutely considered "police" or "cops."

FBI definitely isn't the only Federal law enforcement agency. Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) is also law enforcement, for example.

I'd wager it's the same type of people as it was in the 1970's when oil companies knew about climate change and were denying it as well as cigarette companies knew about the links between their products and various cancers and were also denying it.

In short: People willing to sell out the future for their own gain now.

They're no different than drug pushers on the street who don't care who overdoses on their drugs as long as they get their bag.

I felt a great disturbance in the Steam Statistics, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly reinstalling Skyrim. I fear a new mod has dropped.

She got that Dreamworks eyebrow going on.
