My intuition says it’s probably LLM training. AI companies have been increasingly DDoSing the entire web for a while now.

Uhh, what timezone are we talking about here?

From the library of Jurgen Leitner, no doubt.

“Just let me pander to these fringe extremists so they stop wanting to leave my party”

Better idea. Don’t do that. Tell the fringe extremists to kick bricks, set the UCP on fire, and let the rest of us have 4 years of actual prosperity under the NDP.

Imagine basing your appeal on the equivalent of a courtroom seance. This is the world we live in.

It would be exceedingly rare for one party to get enough votes to form a majority under PR.

But beyond that, we have the non-partisan senate, the governor general, and the Charter (via the judicial branch) to all act as obstacles to unjust legislation. Canada is no stranger to majority governments under our current system, and the checks 'n balances have worked pretty well so far, for the most part.

Barring a trump-style lunatic jacking up the executive branch (which can absolutely happen, that’s something us citizens have to be careful not to vote for), PR should make it slightly harder for tyranny of the majority to happen. Take a look at New Zealand in 1996 for a relatively recent example of PR adoption and how their voting patterns have changed after the switch.

Odds are pretty damn good, I’d say.

Still, it’s a distinction barely worth making. Garden varity pigs doing this shit are equally as unjust as brand name Pigs doing it.

I’m interested to know how that works. Can amazon not treat the addressee as the “importer” like Canada Post can?

Jesus christ. Ford’s idea of a “nation building project” is a half-baked scheme to hide some of Toronto’s traffic underground.

If Carney treats that as a serious proposition, he might as well give the western separatists what they want, too.

“Do people really use it for that?”

“Yeah, it’s mostly that.”

The referendum thing is an unmistakable nod towards the separatists. It basically halves the number of ultraconservative fanatics she needs to round up in order to make her “national unity crisis” momentarily appear like it wasn’t completely made up.

They’ve got sliced memes. Sliced. Memes.

If it’s through steam, I wouldn’t expect there to be any issues.

Just make absolute certain you have a backup copy of any save files before deleting your current OS, for the sake of your relationship… I can only imagine how many hours someone might have put into a game that came out in 2009. Definitely not speaking from personal experience haha

The more it hurts the more it shows you really care, right?
