It's still crazy to me that when a game studio had a bunch of users reporting crashes they blamed Intel for making bad CPUs and they were right!

Clinton and Obama seem like they'd be cool.

I don't use twitter so can't verify, but here is the apparent post people are making fun of him over. The claim is that the words "woman" and "dolphin" being bolded are signs that he searched for those terms.

So are they lovers or something? Oh, it says Pikemaids...

Everyone I know who has went on a cruise has told me the same thing: you will be propositioned by swingers.

I haven't used Reddit in a while, but back when I did, r/canada was alt-right and I doubt it had real Canadians on it. It seemed like a Russian troll farm like r/the_donald. The actual Canadian subreddit seemed to be r/onguardforthee. The media is also mostly privately owned by wealthy conservatives so there's a clear bias. I personally don't read or watch anything that isn't put out by the CBC, which has a mandate to be politically neutral.

Even Canada's right wing party doesn't hate immigrants, as they make up a large part of the Canadian labour market and are a source of tax revenue. The only valid criticism has been over student visas, which were essentially temporary visas given to people with lots of money. A lot of these "students" were middle aged, already had advanced degrees, and spent more time working a high paying job, or simply just living in Canada, than attending school. The conditions of a student visa were mostly "do you have $100,000 per year?" Nobody had much reason to put a cap on it, since it was a large revenue source, but once there were over 1 million active student visas it might have attributed to actual issues. The conditions are changing and there is now going to be a cap on the amount of active student visas.

The Conservatives are blaming Trudeau for everything though. That's definitely real. Their current leader is Pierre Poilievre who spent most of his 20 year career as an "attack dog". I don't think he knows how to do anything else besides trash talk people. It used to get him in a lot of trouble, but now it's gotten him party leadership and is probably going to get him the title of Prime Minister. Not because Canadians aren't friendly, but because this is Trudeau's 4th election and Canadians don't like voting for the same person 4 times in a row.

The "duress" part comes from the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) which are laws governing all commercial transactions within the US. It still doesn't apply because getting a ticket isn’t a commercial transaction, but SovCivs believe everything is a commercial transaction including interaction with the government.

UCC 1-308 is a section that says a party can partially fulfill a contract without agreeing to all of the contract terms. They must do so by explicitly stating they are completing part of the contract "without prejudice" or "under duress". That's why SovCivs write these words on everything.

It’s not undemocratic for people to be uneven

Spoken like a true American!

Is 4chan's vtuber board part of that 85%? Asking for a friend.

Kind of like what happened with McAfee! Just don't look up

Excuse me, but my waifu has plenty of assets!

See that mountain? You can fast travel to it!

Did you know that Ohio fries originated in Canada?

Police want me.
Drivers fear me.

I used to be a funeral director in Ontario. This situation is unfortunately not uncommon. At least once a month I'd have a family that couldn't afford even the cheapest option ($3,500 at my last place). Local social services offices would cover the cost but only if the deceased was a recipient of local social services which, in my area, did not serve anyone over 65. That meant anyone who died after 65 automatically did not qualify for benefits. You're fault for living old!

The most common solution was for the family to leave the body unclaimed. The coroners office would eventually get around to writing a warrant to bury an unclaimed body. We would take that warrant to the local social services office who would then pay for the cost of burial.

Do you see the issue? Social services wouldn't pay for a burial unless the family left the body unclaimed, in which case, they would then pay for a burial. Not only does this cause extra pain and suffering, since the family no longer has a say in when and where their loved one is burried, it's even more of a tax burden to do it that way because the coroner's office needs to get involved.

The president can do that, but states are still allowed to have their own drug laws. States can't make something illegal if there is a federal law saying it's legal. States can make something illegal if there is no federal law regarding it. It's why states can make abortion laws since there's no federal abortion law.

Descheduling cannabis is essentially the same thing as having no federal law and letting the states decide. It's not the same as legalization.

the minimum wage can’t support a family. But minimum-wage jobs are important stepping-stones, allowing workers to gain experience and move up to higher-paying jobs.

The article is suggesting to just stop being poor by getting a higher wage job. What if the person can't? No family for you?
