I'm going off headlines. So maybe the reality has been distorted. But as a non-Canadian looking in this is how it's been presented to us

Carney just won for his anti-Trump stance. And now dude's making deals with him just a couple weeks later.

Canadians, are you pissed off?

She's said in the past she's no longer interested in it. I believe there was already a little back peddling a few weeks and she gave the impression she had moved on.

But she could always change her mind I suppose

How many 13 year old gen-Z do you know though? A fifteen year time band encompasses a lot of people (because these are just marketing tools in reality)

They gained their stranglehold from 20+ years of systematic takeover. The Tea Party became MAGA. It didn't happen over night

Statistically when you don't vote, you are effectively voting Republican. When turn out is high Dems tend to win, and when it's low the GOP wins.

Not voting is definitely not going to change anything

I know a number of Gen alpha kids. None of them use those phrases. They are Gen Z terms.

The oldest Gen Alpha kids are 11 and turning 12 this year

When I moved in with my partner her ex had left Amazon devices all over the house. And one of the first things I did was get rid of them all.

My phone and tablet are the only ones I'm willing to take a risk on, and I just have to hope they respects my permission settings. I have to actively press a button before Google Assistant starts listening.

But I have a ton of developer/tech friends that act so unworried about it all, usually Apple users primarily just like the author talks about smh

I see HL3 as the perfect launch title for a new attempt at a SteamMachine console. And that would not work well as a shadow drop

This was the best moment of the show. I'm gonna miss Michael Che

Style and aesthetic only go so far. The low poly counts and blurry textures will still drag it down for anyone not already enamoured with legacy 3D graphics.

Pixel art games seem to have much more longevity than early 3D

My main prediction here is Trump and his crew will continue to ratchet up the authoritarianism. And when he starts invading other countries, the markets will react
