Pyr_Pressure,

I wouldn’t imagine even a privately owned business would qualify for privacy. I don’t expect any privacy when I’m walking around in Walmart.

Pyr_Pressure,

Lots of healthy, happy people with disposable income.

Pyr_Pressure,

Definitely think owning dogs should require a license and a test of some sort like driving a vehicle.

Can’t control a 120lb dog? Class B license instead of Class A license.

Only allowed to buy dogs under 100lbs.

Don’t understand how feeding and training works? No license for you.

Licenses for being able to own non-fixed animals as well. Being able to breed dogs and cats needs to come with way more responsibility as well.

Pyr_Pressure,

Yes

Pyr_Pressure,

It doesn’t cost anything to have less people. It costs lots to build houses and infrastructure to support those people.

Pyr_Pressure,

It’s important to have proof, but it was pretty silly to ask in this situation where it’s pretty much impossible to prove.

Taps will be turned off if water rules are defied: Merritt mayor (www.cbc.ca)

Extreme drought conditions and the likelihood of another challenging fire season have prompted a community in one of the driest parts of the province to start managing its water supply early — and turning off the taps for people who don’t follow the rules....

Pyr_Pressure,

It’s unfortunate that we can’t limit water by litres, so for a family of 4 put a limit of say 100L or something. People do still need to drink and cook unfortunately.

Pyr_Pressure,

It’s an outdated expectation but shouldn’t be an outdated goal.

No one should need to work after 65 years of age if they don’t want to.

There’s hardly any chance of that happening nowadays though.

Pyr_Pressure,

I’m curious how they came up with 3.48 hours. Does rounding it up to 3.5 really make that much of a difference?

Pyr_Pressure,

I don’t recall any of these errors happening when you just had to actually roll of the rim of your cup.

But they decided to go digital so they can steal customer data and force people to create unnecessary accounts and download their app.

Pyr_Pressure,

Makes sense, you want homes empty and prepared for people to move into rather than full and waiting for the house to be built before you can sell it to someone needing one.

Pyr_Pressure,

There’s not plenty of land with infrastructure to support people. That many houses also needs more schools, hospitals, roads, gas stations, grocery stores, etc

It’s not just houses we need to build.

Pyr_Pressure,

Schools only have a set amount of space and hospitals a set amount of beds.

Bulldoze a neighbourhood of 500 detached units housing 1500 people, 500 of which are children, to build towers which can house 6000, 2000 of which are children, you will then need to bulldoze the school which was there to be able to build another school 4x as large or find vacant land to build extra schools.

More people = more infrastructure not just houses.

Pyr_Pressure,

Why make a new game when you can just make a glove for fools with money?

Pyr_Pressure,

Obviously he should just kill his adopted kid

Pyr_Pressure,

Better than not preparing for war. I can’t see how Trudeau would be responsible for Russian aggression and Israel antagonizing every Islamic country around them and just goading them to strike back, or China’s ambition to retake Taiwan…

We don’t need war but it would stupid to just stick our heads in the sand. It’s not like we can send out diplomats and pray for world peace.

Pyr_Pressure,

Is there a valve index 2 on the way?

I would hate to finally get it only for the 2nd version to release a year or two after.

Pyr_Pressure,

Even if it weren’t their idea I don’t think it would apply to them. If they fish in their recognized territory I don’t believe they have to follow federal fishing limits.

Pyr_Pressure,

It’s better to have expensive salmon now because we can only harvest so many, than to have expensive salmon in 10 years because there are hardly any left.

Pyr_Pressure,

I mean, she’s right and wrong at the same time.

People shouldn’t have to get over it, but Democrats don’t give a shit what voters want. They are using Trump as the big bad monster to force the candidates that they want, not the ones that the people want or deserve.

Biden would likely lose against any other candidate, the only reason he might win is because Trump is so terrible. They’re exploiting their voters to get what they want.

Pyr_Pressure,

I believe in rehabilitation, but I also believe there are some cases where rehabilitation is a lost cause.

Pyr_Pressure,

Personally I feel that forcing someone to live out the rest of their life in a steel and concrete cube with no chance of ever being released is more cruel than executing them but I can see how not everyone would agree with that.

Pyr_Pressure,

At least the housing crisis will be fixed

Pyr_Pressure,

Typically the rules have been that they can use the weapons on occupied Ukrainian lands, but not pre-2014 Russian territory.

They can use the aid to take back what has been stolen but can’t use missiles to bomb Moscow for added pressure to stop the war.

Pyr_Pressure,

Happens all the time dude. What makes you so special?

Pyr_Pressure,

If you’re young, pretty much everywhere is a shit hole nowadays.

Pyr_Pressure,

Canada at least.

I can get a mortgage for an apartment for $1400 a month. Rent in the same spot would be at least $1800 if not $2000.

People buy housing to rent out because it’s profitable right away, they aren’t just “taking the risk” that the house might not go up in value.

Pyr_Pressure,

There’s a difference between addictive and entertaining.

I wouldn’t call nicotine entertaining.

Opening lootboxes you paid $5 each for is not entertaining.

Pyr_Pressure,

In the case of Minecraft the issues you listed are pretty much present in almost anything entertaining, video games or not, including in-person events and social functions.

As with anything moderation is key and people just need to learn not to let it control them. Some people are incapable of that though.

There are definitely certain things that game companies need to avoid doing but multiple goals, a little bit of luck, and online cooperative play is not it.

Pyr_Pressure,

The thing about older games and Minecraft being addictive is that it’s sort of fine, because they don’t benefit financially from it so obviously it was unintentional and just because of the entertainment.

It becomes a problem with these new games when they are subscription based or have lots of microtransactions because the more addictive the game, the more money the company makes.

Pyr_Pressure,

Eh, imo if you decide to risk your life unnecessarily climbing a mountain, plan to take your garbage out because you shouldn’t be let back down without it. Freeze up there with the garbage.

Pyr_Pressure,

Wonder how much it would cost to install some sort of tube system where you carry up cylinders and can send them down the tube periodically as you climb with your shit and garbage inside and it just slides to the bottom where you take care of it later.

Pyr_Pressure,

The fine should be enough to pay someone to go up separately and collect the garbage.

If someone is willing to do that for $50k then the fine should be at least $50k if not more.

Pyr_Pressure,

I mostly wish that companies were upfront about how long the service will last.

From day of release can they guarantee at least 3 years of server time? 5 years? 10? It would factor a lot into whether or not I think a game is worth the purchase. Especially if you’re buying it 4-5 years after release and it can shut down any day.

Pyr_Pressure,

Thumbnail makes it look like a warzone

Pyr_Pressure,

That’s what happens when huge social change happens with absolutely no planning or preparation.

If we have 6 more years to prepare for another lockdown then I’m sure any of those issues can be more than accounted for.

Pyr_Pressure,

Kind of inherent in the term “conservative”

Pyr_Pressure,

You can choose to have a Lemmy account or not. You can still use Lemmy without an account.

Quest can function without accounts, but they force you to make one.

The difference is freedom of personal choice.

Pyr_Pressure,

The difficult part is it’s tough to actually measure pollution emitted by an entity accurately and fine accordingly.

You can guess how much CO2 output there is from a refinery, sure, and fine them for it, but they will just raise the prices of end products to compensate for it.

In the end gas goes up the same amount but the less affluent people dependant on it won’t get rebates. They’re money just goes to the corporations anyways in order to pay for the fines.

Pyr_Pressure,

If no one bought PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo games they would eventually just make those exclusive titles into PC games. They aren’t going to toss those massive profits from IP.

Pyr_Pressure,

They don’t have much choice in having kids in Texas 😂

Pyr_Pressure,

I’ve never had an issue with Scotiabank, but my parents switched to envision a few years ago and have had nothing but trouble. Now they’re in the process of moving everything back to Scotiabank.

I get the same rates, but more features and easier access.

It takes my mom 3-4 weeks to get an appointment with an advisor at envision whereas I can get one in two days at Scotiabank.

Pyr_Pressure,

In BC there are still crazy people who stand on the overpass on highway 1 with various signs like Trudeau is a liar, or vaccines are fake, etc. changes every week what the theme is.

Can’t imagine how they have nothing better to do with their time.

Pyr_Pressure,

All of this crap to avoid paying for a few cashiers.

Pyr_Pressure,

Does that still apply to vehicles that weigh 6600+ lbs?

Pyr_Pressure,

Just what Trump and the GOP is doing with immigrants in America.

Pyr_Pressure,

Do they not give out laptops with an Ethernet port? Or is the extra 2lbs too much?

Pyr_Pressure,

I have a junk Visa Gift Card that I use for many online subscriptions and purchases. You load it up with the money you expect to spend and if anyone gives you trouble with not cancelling an account you just stop loading money and get a new card. They can’t do fuck all.
