I got in some hot water a while back for admitting I was relatively unconcerned with Republican villainy these days compared to other worries.

Hate to break it to you, buddy, but Canada has never embraced completely free speech, even with the caveat of yelling “Fire!” in a crowded theatre. You might be thinking of laws and a constitution originating a little farther south.

Sue them in small claims court. It’s $1.50, will cost them hours of their time if they don’t default, the judge will just love seeing that NDA, and you will get your small financial victory with a greater moral victory. Then you take it to the press again so everyone gets reminded to check their bank statements and maybe do it dozens more times.

Not Risa, the vacation planet, nor Cardassia, the snake boi planet. This is a one-off where everyone was a little disappointed because Wesley Crusher was both killed and brought back to life for trampling some flowers.
If you can’t make a plan to get home safely while you’re sober, maybe you should go to a different bar, or not go altogether. Your right to get shitfaced doesn’t cover being a danger to the public.
Yes, I’m the guy who would go to the bar with his friends, maybe have one drink at the beginning of the night, and make sure they got home safely.
This looks very much like an upgrade. Components of the VR system are not included, such as controllers and a base station. Buying those from Steam to go with this headset adds $570 CAD to the price for a new setup.
It’s a link to an article about a legal case where the courts specifically stated this was not the case. In the legal realm, that is the equivalent of a peer review. And absolutely, unfettered capitalism pushes towards this outcome. That doesn’t make it a legal requirement.
People often imagine things they don’t do can’t be that hard. Marketing is important because no one will be interested in your product if no one knows about it. Being able to envision products that the average person will want is another one that good business leaders often do.
Steve Jobs, for example, was very good at envisioning what people would be interested in. From the Apple to Macs to the iPod to the iPhone, he hit a lot of winners. This isn’t an endorsement for him owning the company, or even as a person, but he undeniably had a skillet that others around him often lacked.
Steve Wozniak was an amazing computer geek, and designed an incredibly useful computer for the time. Steve Jobs popularized and marketed the idea. He didn’t do a lot on the technical side. There was the Blackberry and resistive touch phones before the iPhone, and they had serious problems. Anyone could have made the first smartphone - Windows Mobile was released in 2003 and certainly had the money to take on this project - but Apple did. And yes, Apple did a lot to make it painful for their customers to stray from the Apple ecology to the company’s benefit, and the detriment to the market as a whole, which is pretty on-brand for Jobs.
The first step is to get charged, the second is to be convicted. There are plenty in Trump’s shoes, who have only been criminally co evicted once and got a slap on the wrist. The smart ones pull the correct strings and don’t even get charged, and certainly don’t have their misdeeds reported in the media if they can help it.
A recent survey shows not all Canadians are ready to make the switch to an electric vehicle as they have concerns about charging stations, cold weather and battery life.
Even if money was no object, and I could buy a regular car or an EV, I still would hesitate to buy an EV. They are spy boxes, and I will absolutely not pay money for a car that spies on me.
You do realize that link says it’s a problem with all cars, right? If you’re buying new (or recently used), this isn’t a valid excuse to avoid EVs. It is certainly a good reason to be pissed off at auto manufacturers.
I agree with this in principle, but if you include wealth as power, it gets very messy. “Would you date Jeff Bezos?” “Sure!” “Would you date Jeff Bezos if he wasn’t a billionaire?” “Well…” Sure, he could use that money to coerce people into sleeping with him, but him expressing interest in a person, them turning him down, and him just moving on doesn’t sound like coercion to me.
And, yes, I think Clinton crossed that line, simply because he could fire her if she turned him down.

“On the grounds that it will be devastating to my case!”
“Overruled!”
“Good call.”
I get the feeling it will cause irreparable harm to their bottom line. They may have to pay employees more instead of paying them in optimism the company will be wildly successful.
“Christians today have become the most vitriolic tribe,” said Ritchson, who himself identifies as a follower of Jesus. “It is so antithetical to what Jesus was calling us to be and to do.”
If you’re the only one, could you please retire your other accounts? I don’t overly have a problem with you voicing your opinion, no matter how poorly thought out I may believe it to be, but I don’t need to see it from all these different accounts.
“The last thing I want is for our politicians and government agencies to be accessible to the public or, even worse, to be able to reach as many as are interested in hearing what they have to say!”
I’d far rather they be on the fediverse, preferably on their own instance(s), than on Facebook or Twitter.
Unlike if you’ve been subpoenaed to testify in court, you aren’t required to run for office. If the prospect of your criminal activity being exposed makes you not run, well, that’s just an unintended benefit.
And nothing grows the economy more thanlower-income people having more money to spend, so we’re advocating for increases to social security and welfare…
The federal housing building program ended in the late 80s. Since then, we have had a trend which has culminated where it is today. Here’s just one link that discusses it.
