Which books would you recommend? I know very little, the part I'm most familiar with is instilling distrust in public institutions is one of the early steps towards fascism.

I've also naively connected the Canadians right's insistance on stirring distrust in CBC, statscan data, Health Canada, PBO, etc as a step away from a free democracy towards fascism or one of the other forms of governments that depends on lack of information.

Yes, when combined with the switch 1

I keep retyping what I want to say, but I think my feelings come down to:

  1. There are 150 million switch 1's in the wild, that's going to continue to be a massive pull for developers when porting new games.
  2. Many families may already have the switch 1, are the exclusives enough of a pull to encourage those people to upgrade?

I do think the switch 2 will do just fine, but I also think there are a lot of people who loved their switch 1 who might look at the games they played, and look at upgrading to a steamdeck instead of the switch 2.

When did lies become hyperbole?

You said something untrue and then tried to continue to justify it as if it were true. If you were indeed trying to make a joke by exaggerating that should have been your initial response to my question, but instead you run into it.

You don't have to dumb anything down, if anything you need to step it up a notch if you're trying to pass off lies as truth 😛

Edit: if you're curious, what you did isn't hyperbole at all. Hyperbole would be suggesting that Brookfield will own all the rental properties, or something along those lines.

Trying to state that the government is planning to work with Brookfield to do this program isn't hyperbole unless there is a grain of truth to exaggerate, which there isn't. You can't exaggerate a lie and turn it into hyperbole.

It doesn't matter what carney was the president off. You said that Brookfield would be the owner of these houses, and based of the evidence we have and you provided, there is zero proof that that's the case.

There is nothing else really to discuss. You made something up and stared it as fact, and you acknowledge that it's at best a guess based off weak connections.

I thought they were meant to be sold off to the private sector for short term gain

Where did you read that?

I played this a bunch back when it launched. I did enjoy it a fair bit.

This didn't work in Canada. That is the carbon pricing system we have and still the opposing party has made it so unpopular every party has said they will remove the system in the next election.

Despite lots of evidence that the carbon pricing system we have was a net positive for most Canadians, people still are convinced it's the cause of inflation.

What is considered an unnecessary expansion? Is this just when they add more variety of classes or start teaching new programs that there weren't enough people to support before?

I think uptime Kuma can be configured to look for expiring certs

What is aegis in this case? (It's way too generic to successfully search for)

So if I'm following this correctly. The US government gave TikTok a year to sell their US operations, they did not and were blocked. Trump came in and gave them a 3 month grace period, to allow them the opportunity to sell their US operations again...

Why does he expect this is going to go differently? TikTok already showed they would rather go dark than sell.

 

The arguments being made by opponents only make sense if you ignore some awkward facts

 

If Canada axed its carbon tax– and rebates- this is how different households would gain or lose.

High-income households would tend to be the biggest winners, lower-income households hurt the most
