It also didn't help that it was one of the first $70 games when the norm was $60.

I'm looking at the Full Volume, and on page 71 you can see
With about 2°C warming, climate-related changes in food availability and diet quality are estimated to increase nutrition-related diseases and the number of undernourished people, affecting tens (under low vulnerability and low warming) to hundreds of millions of people (under high vulnerability and high warming) ... Climate change risks to cities, settlements and key infrastructure will rise sharply in the mid and long term with further global warming, especially in places already exposed to high temperatures, along coastlines, or with high vulnerabilities (high confidence).
At global warming of 3°C, additional risks in many sectors and regions reach high or very high levels, implying widespread systemic impacts, irreversible change and many additional adaptation limits (see Section 3.2) (high confidence). For example, very high extinction risk for endemic species in biodiversity hotspots is projected to increase at least tenfold if warming rises from 1.5°C to 3°C (medium confidence). Projected increases in direct flood damages are higher by 1.4 to 2 times at 2°C and 2.5 to 3.9 times at 3°C
Global warming of 4°C and above is projected to lead to far-reaching impacts on natural and human systems (high confidence). Beyond 4°C of warming, projected impacts on natural systems include local extinction of ~50% of tropical marine species (medium confidence) and biome shifts across 35% of global land area (medium confidence). At this level of warming, approximately 10% of the global land area is projected to face both increasing high and decreasing low extreme streamflow, affecting, without additional adaptation, over 2.1 billion people (medium confidence) and about 4 billion people are projected to experience water scarcity (medium confidence). At 4°C of warming, the global burned area is projected to increase by 50 to 70% and the fire frequency by ~30% compared to today
However, if you really want to get into it, you can read the Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability Full Report. It has a lot more details about the effects of climate change on all parts of the world, but it's also a 3,000 page pdf.
“Driven” suggest more than half of total pregnancies,
Less than 20% of a total is “significant”?
The amount the percentage represents is irrelevant. A billion people could be involved, but if the total is 7 billion, it’s not going to be a significant part of the total trend.
In the terms of your analogy, this is about 3 people out of 20 pedaling a (weirdly long) bike and steered by all of them (somehow). Would you say that group of 3 are driving? Or would you concede it’s the two groups of 6 that are mostly driving the bike?
Your "words wholly" includes more than whatever you think it does.
My point has always been about this study
Has it? I think you're far less clear and careful with your words than you think you are. You've been arguing from the start that less than half of something isn't and can't be significant. We aren't even discussing the text in this study that you can read in the screenshot:
More than half the drop of America's total fertility rate is explained by women under the age of 19 now having next to no children.
What you're saying now about “the traditional driver of USA birth rates” isn't reflected in your other comments.
Your numbers are all over the place and don't really make sense for what you're talking about. 3 plus two groups of 6 would only be 15 out of 20, so where did the other 5 people go?
But more to the point, if those 3 stop pedaling, or pedal harder than everyone else combined, or apply the brakes, or tip the bike over, any number of other things they could absolutely change the speed/direction of the bike.
Yes. For example, 60 million people in the US (less than 20% of our total population) is a significant amount of people.
I may not be good at giving it a number, but I can usually see how far apart two things are.
I really don't think CSAM is a fake crime, but we can't all be libertarians.
Trump should be caught up in too many legal battles from all the crimes he's committed to have any time to campaign or be relevant in the election. The fact that he's not is already a massive failure of our political system.
It's hard to say for sure, but China’s record carbon emissions expected to peak due to clean energy push, report says so I sincerely hope their yearly CO2 emissions start going down soon.
They still have less total emissions than the US and EU, but I doubt it'll stay that way for long.
You're definitely wrong about India, and famously China Added More Solar Panels in 2023 Than US Did In Its Entire History, so I don't see why we can't be trying to reduce emissions too.

proportional representation
I thought you were conflating these two. If not, then I have no idea what you were talking about when you said
I think thats what they meant?
If you're thinking about proportional representation, that's a separate thing

Youtube says there are only 441 videos in the complete series, I'm sure you'll find your cousin eventually.
Although it is weird, wikipedia and archive.org are telling me there should only be 65.
They're paying for an apology for not voting in 2020, there's no obligation to vote in 2024.
They're paying people to apologize for not voting in 2020, which does not include them voting in the next election.
A decent number of titles I’ve seen on there don’t have DRM.
Which games on GOG do you think have DRM? GOG's whole deal is they sell DRM-free games.
Wouldn't you know it, there's a wikipedia article for that. I personally have used 7digital and bandcamp, but qobuz has been mentioned several times in other comments and hdtracks seems like it might work after you create an account.
They might be the most common because they're the easiest, but there are also still plenty of people actually paying for the games. I'll never be convinced that piracy is an actual threat to making money. Piracy has never been easier, just see /c/[email protected] for proof, and yet pretty much all forms of entertainmment are as profitable as ever.
