Child rearing? Single mother households are a plague on society.

With that said, there isn't enough data on single father households, since judges overwhelmingly award children to the mothers.

Moral qualms? Can't we all just agree not to play Far Cry 6 because it requires a Ubisoft account? I gave up on Ubisoft back when it was called uPlay.

Bought cyberpunk and didn’t have no where near the problems people reported on it.

I had one pretty serious issue: During a quest, the game would crash shortly after I entered a certain building. It took me several tries to do it fast enough to get in and out before the game could figure out it was supposed to crash.

I still had a good time with the game in general. Could it have used more variety in quests? Absolutely. But colour me easy to please, I suppose.

I had an Atari - and yes, the ET game - as a kid. I learned at a very young age that video games could be bad. (I didn't learn that movies could be bad until much later. Thanks, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace!) It's a hard lesson, but it does build up critical thinking skills.

A lot of PPC supporters and candidates got caught up in fairy tales. I know a guy who was convinced PPC would get 20% of the popular vote

I spoke to my riding's PPC candidate. I asked him what his expectations were (is he aiming for 1% of the vote? No vote goals, just get his name and the PPC name out there?) and whether he would be trying hard in the campaign to become a presence (because in my riding, even the Conservatives have stopped trying. At the time the Conservatives didn't even have a candidate and he could have struck while the iron was hot.) He simultaneously expected he would WIN (despite our riding not having elected even a conservative in 40 years) and also decided he would not have cardboard signs, but rather allow people to PRINT HIS SIGNS ON PAPER AT HOME to put in their windows. He said he wouldn't go door to door(!) but would hold events in public places for people to meet him. I mean, the dude had never been in politics before, but wow.

Triangle Strategy looks dope.

Shame about the name. It sounds like a Game Jam game or a proof-of-concept. Also, hearing that they added basic gameplay features after demo feedback is worrisome. Cautiously optimistic.

I really liked Rune Factory 4. I think 5 is being developed by another studio so I'll wait for more info.

I saw a bit of Japanese gameplay. The graphics look great, but it has changed to third-person 3D. So you may have to get used to slightly different combat mechanics.

This literally happened in Canada, except it was an official government commission, for "murdered and missing indigenous women." They were asked to look into "who's murdering and disappearing them?" The commission had a revolving door of members (presumably because they were getting disenchanted with the process.) The end result?

"THE SYSTEM" killed them! It's GENOCIDE!

I took that to mean that they discovered indigenous men did it but they couldn't say that.

Reminds me of a crazy story from my country. Dude was arrested for possession, found an American passport and tried to deport him but the States said it was a fake passport. The dude then came up with a bunch of other names and countries of origin, all fake. He stayed detained for nearly ten years (why he kept lying is unclear. Presumably because a Canadian detention facility is still better than the shithole he was from?) They eventually determined said shithole was Cameroon and off he went.

Remember when they tried to program an AI to detect racism in social media posts, then had to try and RE-program it because the majority of racist posts it detected came from black people?

TL;DR : A PPC victory is possible,

No. It's not. The electoral system isn't the same as in the States. Allow me to put it in American-style terms:

Canadians aren't allowed to vote for a President. They vote for their Congressman, and the Congressmen install the President. So in each district, it only matters who won. 5% of the votes do not mean 5% of the congressmen. It's not uncommon for a party that got 40% of the votes to get 60% of the congressmen, and a party that got 10% of the votes to get zero congressmen.

What the PPC are hoping for this election is to become a PRESENCE. (Meaning, to get sufficient votes for the media to stop ignoring them, to get into debates, etc.)

So much money is spent on repeating everything in 10+ other languages.

I know it's a day late, but... Canada has two official languages. It doesn't stop the governments from making documentation available in 10+ others.

Long story short, because he owns the omegacanada dot win domain. The site admins can't kick him off something he owns. They COULD disconnect OC from the dot win communities (effectively leaving the communities without a dedicated canadian community) but appear reluctant to do so.

Well she's not in power. Doug Ford's in power in Ontario. He's the only one not pushing vaccine mandates... you know, this week.

Horwath thought backing liberty was a smart campaign strategy. Then she decided a boot stomping down on a human face forever was smarter.

At first, she wanted to back the rights of the health and teachers' unions, who like to support the NDP. But it turns out leftists don't give a fuck about rights, and she flip-flopped. Now she fully supports stripping healthcare workers and teachers of rights.

The only place nearby that openly defies the mask mandate is a church.

Up here, I wish. Church here requires masks and you have to sign up to attend church ahead of time (for contact tracing purposes... apparently.) When church gives me my religious freedom back, I'll return.

Offspring? Punk?

Pretty Fly for a White Guy? THAT Offspring? They seemed like the mainstreamest of mainstream rock.

Tencent is owned by a billionaire(s?) who pissed off the establishment.

Oh, here I thought it was owned by the Chinese State. Thanks for clearing that up.

Typically the first thing mentioned is surviving kin

In my experience, surviving kin is almost always the LAST sentence.
