IIRC, one of the critical things that caused the Sandy Hook families to get such a high payout from the Alex Jones/Infowars suit was the tearful testimony of one of the Sandy Hook victims, who was injured in the shooting, explaining to the jury that their own father accused them of lying and being a “crisis actor” because of Infowars bullshit conspiracy misinformation.
So yeah, it works. Shockingly well, even in situations where people have every reason to know better.
It wasn’t even originally an American thing, it’s from the UK.
So many column inches and yet all the American articles dodge the real issue. Tariffs are bad and threatening the economy has made them a lot of enemies, but that isn’t why Canadians suddenly did a heel turn on our election and are united across provincial, social and political borders in opposition to the US.
It’s because Trump repeatedly threatened our sovereignty, belittled our government and insulted us. We can take jokes on the chin, nobody cares being called maple syrup drinking hosers that live in America’s hat and only care “aboot” hockey.
We care that our existence as a country has been threatened, repeatedly and specifically. It’s hilarious reading American articles deliberately ignore this, when it’s all the Canadian media can talk about.
When your biggest ally can’t even commit to not using military force to invade you or annex you, you fight back. When foreign oligarchs think they can put their finger on the scale in your election, you fight back.
People are fucking pissed & united, in a way I’ve never seen before in this country and if they think we’re just going to lie down they have another thing coming. Put that in a goddamn article.
Yeah I really tried with DDG, switched my phone to it for 2 months. I was using !g so often it made the whole thing pointless.
Google sucks, but right now nothing is better. This is why they’re able to push their AI bullshit results so heavily, because just like with YouTube, ultimately there is no real competition.
Yep, all the pain and no gain. Already cancelled my Walmart Delivery Pass and swapped to PC Express. Now I’m locked in for a year. That’s a year of groceries Walmart lost over this.
Personally I’ll be operating like this until the threats are gone, not just delayed, and even years into the future I’ll be much more cognizant of where my goods are coming from.
Bought a bunch of BBC Planet Earth 4K BluRays direct from them because the only other reasonably priced option was Amazon and I’m avoiding them if possible.
BluRays using technology from Japan, pressed in China, containing a documentary series from the UK, purchased in Canada in CAD direct from the UK distributor.
Should be fine, right? Shipped from the US. Such nonsense.
Imagine writing this about the civil rights movement or women’s suffrage were they unpopular and maybe you’ll see how ghoulish you sound.
Also, they are threatening those things as well they’re just calling them “DEI” so you basically are writing that right now.
I think you forgot the question.
If it’s something along the lines of “is this why he’s still in power” I think the answer is yes. For all of Doug Ford’s faults, and there are many, he stayed out of the convoy thing, handled the COVID response OK, has mostly stayed out of social and identity issues compared to the other right wing leaders in North America, and immediately distanced himself vocally and significantly from Trump when the tide turned with the Canadian right.
Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t me espousing support. I wouldn’t vote Con if I was paid to (and we were). But I think he’s savvy enough to know that social politics isn’t going to bolster his support with his base it will just lose him votes in the GTA. If the goal is cronyism, lowering taxes, privatization, and making sure he can drive everywhere then those other things just distract from the goal.
Brexit, probably. That lost a lot of international respect.
How is it a dick move to remake their own game? I would love that and buy it day one, Oblivion is amazing and it’s very constrained by its PS3/360 era memory limits.
A dick move would be sending a C&D to the Skyblivion team and not letting the remaster/remake stand on its own. Attitudes like this are why most developers don’t even bother with modding support.
My PS5 will probably be my last non-Nintendo console. I use my Gaming PC for everything, Steam Deck for portable, and Switch for everything Nintendo.
I haven’t turned on my PS5 since Rebirth and my XSX for… Goldeneye? I don’t even remember it was so long ago.
There have been like 3 PS5 exclusive games that I wanted to play and they’ve all come to PC. Just don’t see the point anymore.
AdGuard DNS blocks all of the ads in Apple News. Made it way more usable for me.
It’s not that weird:
https://cooking.nytimes.com/ https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/food-and-wine/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/ https://www.theguardian.com/food
Recipes are actually quite common for a lot of papers, and Apple News+ has a lot of those as well as almost every recipe published in a magazine.
God I wish the worst thing this timeline had was Gen Z cringe, sounds like heaven.
Don’t blame me, I voted for jlkmm . …
Apple had a strong relationship with Pangea at the time, who developed that game. From 1999-2006, most Macs shipped with some sort of game (usually Bugdom). Reimaging a Mac didn’t really exist at the time, most of the time they were just rolled out to classrooms as is with a few extra programs installed.
My 2006 Mac Mini had Marble Blast Gold from Garage Games, that was the last one I was aware of.
Features: Tablet layout on iPad, GIF scrobbling with swipe.
Bugs: Database error, UI missing requiring quit and restart.
Overall though, Voyager is amazing & indispensable. Great job :)
Love Voyager but this is the biggest downside. Would be happy to join the TestFlight when it’s up. Good luck!
Or, he did a Nazi salute because, and I know this is some outside the box, crazy thinking: He’s a Nazi.
I know, right? Racist, apartheid profiteer, open supporter of racist far right parties across the world, frequent promoter & amplifier of far right wing and openly racist & anti-Semitic voices on his social media platform? The guy who just bought his way into power and has funded the rise of mask-off fascism in America? That guy is a Nazi? No way.
Oh I’m stuck on gold stake on that one, have been for a while. That would explain it, for the first few decks I never even really looked at the deck attributes, didn’t really matter for most basic strategies.
