if StopKillingGames met the goal, Thor would brag how his video and the drama that happened since was all part of his 5D Chess move to get people to vote, and he was responsible for the success.

I'm a little new to the Maldverse, but I doubt it. He's never once admitted he had a bad take, or that he was grifting, or that he was lying, or anything of the sort. It seems more in character to smugly boast about how he caused it to fail, and to ban anyone who dares to bring up the fact that it did not fail.

Here's my thoughts on Louis's complaints:

Ross is not a politician.

I don't mean that in the obvious way. I mean he doesn't want to be a politician. He's the definition of 'I just wanna grill' jokes. He probably was never class president or worked on even pseudo-political jobs. He's fairly non-confrontational and prefers to live and let live. He doesn't want to be doing this. He wants this done but his hope was that he would get someone to do it for him - you know, just like how everyone does. That's why most people don't bother trying to be a politician, because they don't want to actually do anything to change their lives that will require serious work.

So because he's not a politician, he doesn't want to think like a politician or act like a politician. More power to him, that shit sucks. It kills your soul gradually because a politician Ross would've not just taken Fagtree's shit, he would've used it as soon as he had an opening. He got overwhelmed by all the possible opportunities like GOG and Heineken to try and do both things. Politician Ross might have been able to get this boost much earlier, but it would be so much easier to see him as a piece of shit because he'd feel slimier and less honest, likely. Because that's the thing, isn't it? Politicians are untrustworthy to most of us because they don't make our lives much better. At the same time, a politician makes 'managing people's lives' their livelihood, because that's what they do.

So Ross fucked up this campaign enough because he's not a politician - because he doesn't have the mindset required to make this his life. He doesn't want to do this, he hoped that complaining about it for long enough would get some viewer of his who would be entering the political sphere to go 'hey, this is a sensible thought' and actually start making an effort, but we all know video games are not a priority to politics compared to health, finances, military, etc. - except, of course, when it comes to what is dangerous for children.

Ross has said before he doesn't see himself as the best person for the job but he was the only one he had, and he only had one shot to make it when The Crew was shut down, which was maybe before he felt ready. And he never disclosed any such plans of 'I have a trustworthy person who will handle this and I will be the spokesperson' because, by all accounts, there was none. He hates doing this and he hates that he has to do this, which is why he said he was done with Stop Killing Games directly if it failed and why he still probably wants to pass the torch on to someone reliable after it succeeds. Because all he wants is to grill.
 
I feel these pics from the OP is not getting the attention they really deserve
Together with this article this is who he been the whole time. There never was a "mask off" moment for mald, just a surprisingly long "mask on" moment. Long enough to fool the masses.

Just like the matpat vid, he Constantly tell on himself non stop.

One of them wants the EU to ban the slaughter of all animals for food, and it's actually on track to get enough votes, it's 90% of the way there already and only expires in September. (Sauce)

I'm not quite sure what they're trying to accomplish here, do they legitimately believe that the EU has the authority to close down all farms and completely ban the sale of meat?

Ross pointed out that if you pull too far in one direction with no concessions whatsoever to the other side, this shit is just going to get thrown out or earn a response akin to the UK petition upon achieving 10k. A realistic, deeply concession-based path forward is the only actual way to get something like this through I.E. "Ban factory slaughter houses" or something akin to that. If Ross had demanded software devs give up all their source code and have said games also enter the public domain, it'd get scuppered, 1 million signatures or 10 million. The EU mandating that its members risk fucking their political situations up by just soft-abolishing meat consumption isn't going to fly, even with the green-minded commission.

Also, these people generally overestimate the capabilities of the EU. Yes, they genuinely believe the EU is capable of forcing it.

You make a good point, at the same time it's worth considering that a number of notable people in the EU (or just Europeans more generally) have talked about the petition within the last 48 hours. It's not impossible that this is all entirely natural, but it feels a bit odd. It seems mostly to be coming from Germany, Poland, France, and Spain within the last 24 hours, which are all countries with large non-English speaking populations.

We ultimately can't know just how many, if any, of the signatures are false. At the same time, it would require Mald's people and anyone else potentially looking to fuck with SKG to be fairly good at what they do. It's not outside the realms of possibility, just unlikely.

But we will have to wait and see, nobody knows what the future may hold.

If it's worth noting, there's sites where the userbase speaks English yet comes from those said countries. Being able to pass links to them about other things as well has helped.
 
Someone brought up the inconsistent signatures per capita requirements earlier and now it has me schizzin out. Luxembourg currently has less than half of it's signatures required to pass it's threshold and it's signatures per capita is 0.3%. So, the required signatures would put it's signatures per capita over 0.6%. That would put it closer to Finland's (the first place country by signatures per capita) than it would to Sweden. It is strange to say the least.

Second to last place:

Just getting enough signatures to pass it's threshold, Luxembourg would be in second place, and with a huge margin above third.

My pet hypothesis is that the EU lawmakers somehow cooked a system into the signature per capita requirements such that countries that are considered more important have a higher requirement. Then, when initiatives pass in those "important" countries with higher requirements, the lawmakers put a higher priority on solving that initiative. The reason I say this is because, you may not know but, Luxembourg is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. But that's just my schizo brain. If someone more autistic than me wants to look into it further be my guest.

Everybody think about this for a second: We can draw a direct connection between Mald running away in a WoW raid, and SKG passing. :story:

I've never seen anything like this on the internet, and it's fucking hilarious!

It's perhaps overly optimistic of me but looking through successful initiatives, and thereafter the measures the EU took in response to said initiative, they consulted 3rd party experts or made the determination on their own (in comparison, the ones that weren't researched sufficiently, like the ban on pesticides, was pretty much just thrown out). I think what you fear is unfortunately the result of how such a process would be carried out in America, where they ask the corporations themselves if they do shit wrong and take them at their word. For better or worse it appears the EU will determination will be made with very little input from the companies themselves that get hit by this. The worst-case scenario is what you describe "year in advance announcement", but their conclusion will be arrived at utterly independent of corporate suggestions. If Ross is argument is self-evidently true (or is compellingly argued), and the concessions already present, there's very little reason for the EU to veer away from with what SKG proposes, especially since the most of what Ross wants can be done entirely though digital means with no hardware or extravagant cost necessary.

Unified Charger Design Legislation.
Today, the Commission is proposing:
  • A harmonised charging port for electronic devices: USB-C will be the common port. This will allow consumers to charge their devices with the same USB-C charger, regardless of the device brand.
  • Harmonised fast charging technology will help prevent that different producers unjustifiably limit the charging speed and will help to ensure that charging speed is the same when using any compatible charger for a device.
  • Unbundling the sale of a charger from the sale of the electronic device: consumers will be able to purchase a new electronic device without a new charger. This will limit the number of unwanted chargers purchased or left unused. Reducing production and disposal of new chargers is estimated to reduce the amount of electronic waste by almost a thousand tonnes' yearly.
  • Improved information for consumers: producers will need to provide relevant information about charging performance, including information on the power required by the device and if it supports fast charging. This will make it easier for consumers to see if their existing chargers meet the requirements of their new device or help them to select a compatible charger. Combined with the other measures, this would help consumers limit the number of new chargers purchased and help them save €250 million a year on unnecessary charger purchases.

Background​

In 2020, approximately 420 million mobile phones and other portable electronic devices were sold in the EU. On average, consumers own around three mobile phone chargers, of which they use two on a regular basis. Despite this, 38% of consumers report having experienced problems at least once that they could not charge their mobile phone because available chargers were incompatible. The situation is not only inconvenient but also costly for consumers, who spend approximately €2.4 billion annually on standalone chargers that do not come with electronic devices. In addition, disposed of and unused chargers are estimated to pile up to 11,000 tonnes of e-waste every year.

To address the challenges for consumers as well as the environment, the Commission has supported a common charging solution for mobile phones and similar electronic devices since 2009. The Commission first facilitated a voluntary agreement by the industry in 2009 that resulted in the adoption of the first Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and led to reducing the number of existing charging solutions for mobile phones on the market from 30 to 3. Following the Memorandum's expiration in 2014, a new proposal by industry presented in March 2018 was not considered satisfactory in delivering a common charging solution or meeting the need for improved consumer convenience and e-waste reduction.

The thresholds correspond to the number of the Members of the European Parliament elected in each Member State, multiplied by the total number of Members of the European Parliament.
