I don't actually play GTA online, but they are very successful with their online offering, their daily low looks to be >60k concurrent players. I suspect it'd be VERY hard not to continue with the online bit.

This shit happens all the time. Look at car settlements, it starts at the top. I'm not against a whistle blower framework at all, but it seems like executives get all the pay and none of the culpability (see headline).

To my limited knowledge (reading https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/1551870) this seems to be the Canadian norm: you don't own the land under your land

I haven't read the article...yet (after a skim I agree with the article). I really don't know how to feel about the gay/trans issue as I'm fine with my kids being gay or trans, but I don't want anyone dictating to me what religion or philosophy I raise my kids with, so I feel like I shouldn't get to say what the nut jobs believe it what they tell their children (to a point)... This is tough

You aren't a parent are you? Cause children will actually hurt themselves badly, and really do need active care at an early age.

For older children setting boundaries for your children so they aren't assholes is "determining best interests".

I don't want people telling me what religion or philosophy to raise my kids in, I kind of think of this as parents rights. Of course as kids get to be adults those go away.

If your product or treatment of customers is so bad they'd go to the trouble to create multiple accounts to give you bad reviews. Maybe you deserve it.

Maybe just maybe they are saying review bombing but they just mean bad reviews. There is no evidence in that article that stream has detected review bombing meaning single person or bot flooding their page with bad reviews.

If you described what a "systems engineer" did that'd be a big help.

Please don't attack MAID I want it there for when my time comes.

Yes the same grocery store owners who have been making record profits will pass the savings on to us.

We have 40 years of evidence that lower taxes aren't better for anyone but the most wealthy.

On top of that you want to ignore climate?

Please reconsider this vote.

I'm all for women's right to choose. How would we make money, I think we'd essentially be funding US medical treatments, which I'm ethically fine with, but would prefer to have my taxes go towards things for Canadians.

My understanding is that we can't have a private system along side the public system without "funding" the private system by WTO rules. Besides the fact that running a private system beside a public system is parasitic (i.e. we are assuming an infinite supply of doctors and nurses).

I think we should probably focus on paying our existing nurses and doctors better, and getting our hospitals back in working order.

I do what the linter tells me to: https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck

I think it is hard. All their platforms look the same, it's difficult to find their voting records. Even their promises can't be trusted.

And since the candidates you hear the most about tend to be the leaders there's a bias to vote for a party, rather than your representative.

Beyond that issues are often things I'm not particularly knowledgeable about, so I don't know say how bad bringing in pay for healthcare would be for the public system (you've got to read studies to know that shit).

In make believe land I think that only impacted and experts would have a say. So corporate interests wouldn't get quite so much say, and distribution would be better. And farmers would get more say on ag related issues and technical people would get more say on things like DRM... But really that also probably just turn to shit.

That language theory imo is pretty well shown to be very small via tests described well here:the language hoax.

Sort of with you wrt computer languages though
