I had to stop Picard’s first episode because I burst out laughing when the superhero jump up the stairs happened.
I finished 2 seasons of Discover before I stopped watching.
I don’t think I’ll go back and try to finish either series, but I could stand DISC way longer.
Chick tracts are a very conservative cartoon series.
University is the first time a lot of people are away from the influence of their family, while also being exposed to other ideas. A lot of people leave the ideas that their parents try to instill in them once they run into people raised with different ideas than them. It kinda clicks that what we are taught as children in our small communities may not actually be correct.
I remember as a child, churches praying for kids going to university, and their parents being upset after the church services that their kids have “fallen away” from the faith. After the services is key point because women aren’t allowed to speak during the services, so a mother being upset that her daughter wasn’t a fan of that is bonkers.
Japanese game publishers making Steam releases unavailable for their countrymen has been a thing for years, but Steam’s recent popularity boom in Japan may be nudging things in the right direction.
You are likely right for most people, but I work with people who drive to the Tim Horton’s that’s 2 blocks away.
This takes longer than walking because of parking lots and one-way streets. Not everyone acts logically
I agree that it’s not the year of the linux desktop, and that people who think it is are very naive, but you don’t need to tell anyone to use the terminal for anything for many distros.
Ooof. Reading the reviews makes this game look like it’s not worth free.
However. Every time I open the research menu I see parts of my army locked behind a paywall. I can stomach an entire faction like Tau being DLC but the Chimera? or the Landraider? You gotta be @#$% me! Here is your spaghetti but the sauce and cheese cost extra! Get that outta my face!
Oh its just 1 DLC to complete your army. NO! its 3.
Reinforcement, Fortification and Assault. Nearly $6CAD each. I don’t mind that there are only 2 ways to win a game. Kill everyone else or quests. I can’t recommend a game that splits your army and puts part of it behind a pay way.
What most game developers would a call an update Games Workshop calls Micro transaction.
Personally, it seems stupid not to have a liaison in high schools. This is where teens establish “bad” patterns, and every single one they manage to save early is one less problem for decades in the future.
If an officer is present, the highschool student is more likely to be charged for offenses that happen at school, which means they are more likely to get a criminal record, which means they will have a harder time finding employment, which can ruin lives.
An idiot giving/selling drugs to their friends becomes a life-long criminal or homeless.
Dealing drugs in a school counts as an aggravating factor. Add a knife in the backpack, and you’ve got another aggravating factor.
You start seeing mandatory minimums of 2 years, which is fed time. That doesn’t get removed from your records until at least 5 years after your sentence is over, so at least 7 years. This gets extended if you commit other crimes, which you might, if you can’t get a job. That’s into “ruining lives” territory, and we’re created a lifer.
This isn’t necessarily someone who “needs to turn their life around.” This situation applies to someone who wanted to try ecstasy or shrooms with their friends and listen to EDM, or made a tray of pot brownies.
I am not pro 16 year-olds doing drugs, but lots of kids do drugs without ruining their lives. Most people try something other than booze before they hit 18. Having police in the schools to just hang around is more harm than good.
They only think that spending public money on social issues is literally the devil.
I thought that I’ve seen Natpo take money from the rich to post ads disguised as articles about how good those rich people are for donating to things, but it was hosted content from other “Post Media” outlets. So, it’s still basically them, just not them-them.
If you look at the communities tab and sort by new, more communities there have 0 posts than have more than 10 posts.

For others, an empty community owned by one person is a deterrent to posting. I’m not taking about situations where you made a community and you’re the only person to have posted in it.
There are some users who have created 30+ communities without making any posts in them, and it is very clear, especially when the communities are region specific, that they don’t actually plan to ever post. Best case scenario, it’s spam that makes it harder to find legitimate communities.

Because that’s how capitalism works without strong enough regulations. You need to grow every year, and at a certain point you can’t really do that without expanding into a new market or buying a competitor.
In exaggerated capitalism, one company grows until it owns everything. Its goal is to extract as much as possible from the population.
