kbin_space_program,

Don't forget increased intentionally fucking over BC.

• Harper and PPs complete capitulation on the softwood lumber agreement to the US, multiple times decimated rural BC.

• They moved harbour control for the 2nd busiest port on the west coast of the Americas, out of Vancouver and have them remotely operating out of Comox.

• They illegally forced the TMX expansion pipeline through, and overrode concerns of the city of Hope that the new line runs over their watershed and they ignored native issues with the pipeline. Note that it doesn't run over Nestles well. They moved the line for fucking Nestle, not a city of people though.

• They shut down the coast guard facility for the Vancouver harbor and forced them to operate out of Richmond. So in the recent issue of a boat running into a seaplane, where the coast guard took under 10 minutes to respond, if Trudeau had not repurchased and opened the facility, their response time would have been in the range of 40 minutes to an hour.

Not to mention a return to "balancing" the budget by selling off assets to developer friends and scandals like taking the G8 security budget and using it for graft and bribery in your own ridings.

kbin_space_program,

Singh never had a prime.

Dude moved himself into one of the safest NDP ridings in the country and still almost lost it.

kbin_space_program,

My non-legal reading puts BC Hydro's latest natrual gas ad at odds with it.

They not only call it "not a fossil fuel" but also claim its a "renewable resource."

kbin_space_program,

Except most of BCs natural gas is extracted, not biofuel.

He could paint it as taking down the "ivory tower intellectuals"

Since the goal they(the far right) achieved in Canada under Stephen Harper was the suppression of compensation.

To the point that a field requiring a job earns half the value in Canada that it does in the US.

kbin_space_program,

Obligatory Fuck EA for the bullshit they pulled.

They buried the game launch intentionally behind Battlefield 1.

kbin_space_program,

Bethesda can't do it. They aren't capable of a decent storyline. Their games are frankly beautifully done mostly empty boxes for people to create their own stories and mods in.

Hell, the Skyrim map is just masterfully done. If you follow the roads it seems big and expansive, and the cliffs/mountains exist to force the player to move around them. But there are lots of little paths and ways to shorten distances.

But a narrative driven experience like fo1 and 2? They don't have the skill.

kbin_space_program,

They screwed up before with automated map generation, and admitted as much.

For Oblivion, they admitted that the Aelyid ruins were mostly computer generated, as well as a lot of the map. Which is why the ruins in particular were so forgettable.

kbin_space_program,

It would have to be more melee based, maybe in a northern area of Europe with a heavy scandanavian focus.

Maybe the radiation gave them magical abilities. Have a sorry redneck excuse for a magical college up in the north east of the map in the remnants of a ruined city.

kbin_space_program,

(I was making a joke by describing Skyrim. The college is Winterhold.)

kbin_space_program,

Except steam doesnt abuse their monopoly.

If they did, Epic wouldn't be allowed to use Fortnite and CCP blood money to bribe games to their shit store.

kbin_space_program,

That would be the Windows Store that is taking advantage of things.

Steam, for its faults, is where it is because it is the best application to do what it does.

Yes others exist, and they're all vastly inferior.

kbin_space_program, (edited )

Its not one per trigger pull, since the action of the machine results in another round firing unless you move your finger off the trigger.

kbin_space_program,

Putin is said to have commented, before the invasion, that Russia has a population of conscription aged men of 25 million, this seems to have been their design philosophy of just grinding Ukraine into dust, even if it took millions of Russian lives to do it.

However, that theyre already pulling women prisoners into the meat grinder suggests that number may have been wrong.

kbin_space_program,

There is a reason she forged the Green Party into a federal Party. She's an actual leader. Unlike all of the other clowns and the nazi on the federal leadership stage.

Of course, the subsequent leader then used the party as her own damn piggy bank and had the balls to hide behind "discrimination" when caught.

kbin_space_program,

Simple, the original team that made DA:O went off to do other things or was promoted into management where they did well, but couldn't replicate the magic of their OG team.

kbin_space_program, (edited )

As far as I am aware, most of the game and sofrware companies get around it by stating you're no longer buying a thing, but buying a non-transferrable licence to use the thing but you never actually own anything.

kbin_space_program,

Its in the standard terms of service now for the big AAA publishers.

kbin_space_program,

Yes. Absolutely.

However, no one has taken the companies that started doing that to task, and now even companies like John Deer have been pulling that shit.

Hell, Monsanto actually took farmers to court on that principle for growing crops that had been naturally cross pollinated with "their" GMO crops using that principle.

I am not disagreeing with you. I am stating what we have allowed the rich fucks to get away with.

How to fix Korea's birthrate? Put girls in school earlier, controversial report argues (koreajoongangdaily.joins.com)

“Notably, Chang’s report claims that biological females develop earlier than males do, so requiring girls to enter school at younger ages will create classes in which the two sexes are of more equal maturity as they age. This, the author posits, makes it more likely that those classmates will be attracted to each other, and...

kbin_space_program,

The best way to increase birth rates in advanced countries is:
Work life balance.
Restore the traditional tax rates on the rich.

State of S3 - Your Laptop is no Laptop anymore (blog.jeujeus.de)

In this article, I aim to take a different approach. We will begin by defining a laptop according to my understanding. The I will share my personal history and journey to this point, as well as my current situation with my home and work laptops. Using this perspective, we will explore the current dysfunctionality of the standby...

kbin_space_program,

In windows 10 you can reenable it, but you have dig a bit in the power management control panel to do so.

Its unfortunate that this thinking has bled over to Linux.

Russia-China gas pipeline deal stalls over Beijing's price demands, Financial Times reports (www.reuters.com)

Russia’s attempts to conclude a major gas pipeline deal with China have run aground over what Moscow sees as Beijing’s unreasonable demands on price and supply levels, the Financial Times reported on Sunday citing three people familiar with the matter....

kbin_space_program, (edited )

When they did a deal before, China was getting the gas below cost to Russia. ( https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/21/russia-30-year-400bn-gas-deal-china )

Putin is finding out that China doesn't have allies, it has victims.

kbin_space_program, (edited )

Ah so theyre too ignorant and uneducated to realize whats at stake.

To clarify: "We're teaching the democrats a lesson by voting for Trump."

Bitch if the Orange rat gets elected, there wont be future elections.

kbin_space_program,

This isn't new. Also, this is a false narrative that the invasion of Iraq was ever about retribution for 9/11.

It was started because the Dubya administration insisted that Iraq had WMDs and implied that Saddam was planning on using them relatively soon

kbin_space_program,

Yes, the WMDs was the public reason.

kbin_space_program,

Exvept when it comes to die hard support for whatever insanity Israel's Likud party cooks up.

kbin_space_program,

Or Putin is trusting that Nato will hold the baltic countries back and he'll be able to do what he wants to them, provided no invasion.

kbin_space_program,

*Slava.

kbin_space_program,

Allegedly he started to sing Louie Louie.

kbin_space_program,

Hell, starcraft created the concept of a professional gamer being a thing. To say that RTS games dont have popular appeal is just outright wrong.

3D isnt a bad thing though, C&C Generals did it fantastically.

kbin_space_program,

Starcraft 2, at this point, is 2 years Older than Starcraft 1 was when it was released.

kbin_space_program,

Given that the Hindu population of India is actively trying to assassinate peaceful Sikh leaders worldwide and oppress the Sikh people, you should care.

kbin_space_program,

Playstation won with the PS5 because MS realized PC players have more money and went back to them.

MS left the game because they found a better game.

kbin_space_program,

Includes British Columbia in "easy mode".

Nah, BC looks pretty, but if you unprepared off the beaten trails/roads, they'll never find your body.

kbin_space_program,

You say that, and yes, if you know what you're doing its fine. Same applies to Australia.
We have thick rainforest vegitation so dense you can walk off a cliff and not realize it until you fall through.

Well no, before the British arrived the land belonged to the Ottoman Empire. Before that it belonged to the Byzantine/Eastern Roman empire, Roman Empire, Greece, Persia. It hasn't been a "free" land since at least the mid to early Iron Age.

Edit: Even then, it was only free from the end of the Bronze Age, where it was a smattering of city states either part of or beholden to primarily the whims of the Hittites, Egyptians or Assyrians.

kbin_space_program,

I can also add that in the Bronze age there was a critical trade route used to get Tin from now-Afghanistan to the eastern Mediterranean, and a lot of the city states in that area were basically stopovers on that larger route or between the big empires in the region.

Also going further back into the stone age, the entire area was considerably less of a desert than it is now

kbin_space_program,

Trump was saying Biden was too old in 2020.

kbin_space_program,

The difference the physical breakdown of the body that happens in old age. Neither the chucklefuck fascist or Biden should have been allowed to run.

kbin_space_program,

Eastern motherfucking Ukraine has had multiple cities and towns razed to the ground. Ap news there needs to get its head out of its ass.

Yes, the Gaza situation is horrible. So is what Russia, Iran and China are doing to Ukraine.

kbin_space_program,

Russia was the one that broke the agreement and invaded.

kbin_space_program,

Part of journalism is to determine and report on the facts, not just parrot a press release.

kbin_space_program,

It was, now Take two can claim its just review bombing and the game is fine.

Fdroid app store has a lot of frankly amazing indie games.

Pirate freecell Solitaire. is fantastic.

Also, Warframe has an iOS version(not a port), is working on an android version, and its now fully crossplay compatible.

kbin_space_program,

Yeah that's what i meant.

kbin_space_program,

He was booted out for the rest of the day
for refusing to apologize, retract or rephrase the statement.

ALL media surrounding this is a nothing burger designed to forment unrest and get a far right, even more pro business leader elected. And he's already fundraising as if he's the victim of a dictatorship.

kbin_space_program,

Now they're attaching pretend numbers to the cancelation.

kbin_space_program,

That never stopped any previous Bethesda title from being modded.
