Federally, Canadians flip flop. I don't think they understand politics and just vote based on feelings, just like Americans do.*
They get pissed at party 1, and then go for party 2, eventually they get pissed at party 2 and go for party 1.
There's Trump lovers and fascists all through Canada, too. We might have some people who are educated, but there's still more that are stupid as hell. Don't trust us to know what's right.
*I could be wrong. I could be the stupid one here. I'm basing this entirely on voting patterns for the past 30 or so years.
Currently, Canadians are upset because of the cost of living and housing issues. The Liberal party did not deliver in many ways that they either promised or that people hoped they would.
The logical conclusion would be to vote for a party further left such as the NDP or even the Greens, but instead, they will vote concervative or the dreaded PPC party(which is further right). I would bet money on that for the next election.
Nah man, don't give up hope yet. People are maybe screwed short term, but collectively, we've kicked nazi ass multiple times. We've done it before, we can do it again.
My parents are finally getting rid of it. The one thing I've noticed, though, is that not having a subscription service means I'm very unlikely to get off my butt and watch tv/movies. Which isn't a bad thing, I guess I just value other entertainment more?
I've wanted to watch the boy and the heron for a while. Maybe I'll get to it eventually, lol.
Just found out I might need to attend my girlfriends grandmother's funeral, but she didn't really know her very well so we're both kinda like damn thats awkward. Anyone know how to mentally check out around a bunch of distraught people?
I don't want to be sad but I tend to get like...empathy for people. Lol that wording is horrible but I hope it makes sense.
I feel bad but like...I don't want to be sad either lol. Does this make sense?
Damn that's actually the good outcome. Idk, maybe I'm just expecting the worst, but I was expecting them to put her on a hit list. When I saw her speak, I thought it seemed like a historic moment.
She looked them all in the eyes and said what all rational people are feeling. She did it with far more compassion than any of them deserved, too.
I have been playing fortnite. And I'm kinda digging it. I completely despise their monetization, but I've been enjoying the gameplay loop. It's a solid Battle Royale game. I find the pacing is pretty good in terms of how long you wait to engage other players.
I also like that they update it semi frequently. Usually, I don't* like when games do that. But the core fundamentals stay the same while the extras (like the map and weapon/tools) change.
I didn't think I would ever enjoy it.
I've also been playing Persona 3 Reload, and sniper elite 5. Both of those are pretty solid too. Sniper elite 5 felt weird at first because the game felt extra punishing until you unlock more options for stealth. I might have been playing it wrong.
Persona 3 reload is fun, but I feel like the two styles of gameplay don't exactly mesh perfectly? They just don't feel like they're as robust as I want them to be (but the game has a decent amount of depth so idk how they would do that without overwhelming the player). I realize the game is a remake of an older title, though, so I'm assuming it'll just get better as the series progressed.
This seems like a fundamental failure in education systems. People need to be taught how to research and find accurate information for themselves. I know when I was in school, we did that, but I have doubts that it's being done globally or properly overall.
This just seems like weird censorship/control to me. Unless they can come forward with hard evidence that TikTok is working for the Chinese government.
I just think of all of the actual hateful and concerning websites out there that stay up and nobody blinks an eye.
I've never used TikTok and I don't really like what I've seen from it, but a ban seems unnecessary
That's very interesting. I'm not sure, to be honest.
I had assumed it was the weight as it feels heavy after a while. But it could be due to the lack of a secure grip with the joycons. I know the 3ds had similar issues where, after a while, it didn't feel comfortable either. But I felt like I could use it much longer.
I didn't realize valve went through so many iterations. That's a really cool image. I'll have to see if I can find better shaped joycons when the switch 2 releases and see it that helps
I think it's cool that people can interact with each other. But damn it feels so dystopian that they're reminding people to follow china's policies. It's just really sad that people around the world don't have full freedom. Like damn I don't even feel like I'm fully free, but at least I don't have the government breathing down my neck 24/7.
Or at least not yet, I suppose.
This is a good reminder on how lucky I am, I guess.
It looks pretty cool! It might be too big for handheld. I get sore from the regular switch. But I'm excited for new games. Just gotta wait a lil longer
Dude high five. I have big hands, but even the regular switch feels uncomfortable after an hour or so. I have no idea how people are managing with the steam deck.
I was sad to see the new switch is larger lol. I'll never use it handheld. It really makes me wish they just made a lighter NEW 3dsXL with better hand grips. They could call it the NEW NEW 3DSXL.
Usually, when it comes to these kinds of upgrades, I either do one of two things. If the two consoles can play together, I usually will keep the second. With Nintendo consoles, I will keep one and sit on it (usually until the next generation) and then mod it.
Or alternatively I'll once in a blue moon, sell it to someone else for a fair price. It can help offset the cost of the new thing, and you know that your old device is still going to get used by someone else who can appreciate it.
I swear they make applying for jobs annoying on purpose. It's like they actively don't want to hire anyone lol
