What happens if he says yes? Then you are trapped alone with him. Seems worse lol

Tbh I think that data is incredibly misleading. Every single generation of PlayStation has outsold the Xbox of the same generation(yes even the ps3) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_game_consoles.

Additionally looking at the faq for that site it appears to get its data via page views. What % of console users actually use the browser? Is bet very few. Especially when you consider the ps5 has no built in browser.

Got 248 hours on record. It’s probably my top city builder at this point.

Others have given direct context but general context within Canada is that the federal parties and provincial parties are only tangentially related. However I would say historically Ontario has had the provincial parties most closely aligned to their federal counterparts.

Ontario also had a very odd habit of always voting in opposition to the federal party in power. (IE feds are liberal so we go conservative). Ford actually recently called an early election precisely because he was worried that PP would be in power federally which would have drastically harmed his performance if Ontario had its election as planned.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned here but is in the article is how odd it is that he turned down P but met personally not just with our new PM Carney of the liberals, but with Christia Freeland one of the most prominent federal liberals. She is also now the minister in charge of internal trade. Something currently both (if not all) parties are closely aligned on solving.

I don’t think it’s an issue of his image, but of what he can personally benefit from it. He sees a sinking ship, so he’s distancing himself from PP

completely agree. Ford is a populist cut from a different cloth than PP. He realized a lot quicker that Trump style conservative rule isn't going to fly here yet (hopefully never). He's also a lot more open to backing down when he realizes he read the room wrong instead of doubling down.

Ford’s far more slimey than you’re giving him credit. It’s obvious when you consider that he widely advertised the 25% energy surcharge, then backed off of it quietly when the US gave him some compliments and offered him a seat to a talk without a single promise, and he went around claiming he “did something” despite nothing coming out of it, all being paid for by taxpayers.

I will disagree with this however. Between Ford's meeting with Carney and other Feds from when the surcharge was added till now it feels more like he was asked to get onboard with a new tact. I honestly think he was better at being the blowhard but I'm willing to let this cook for a bit and see where it goes.

You can access locally when the internet is down. You just need to set the login bypass for the local network. IMO it’s kinda a stupid step needed in setup but it is available.

In an interview post video release he mentions only using the Tesla as is the only one he’s aware of only using cameras. Luminar wasn’t named as a car brand or anything really as this was not intended as a promotion for them.

He even said during the interview he loves his Tesla and will more than likely buy another. Which tbh was a bit disappointing. But I do think highlights most of the criticism here is largely unfounded and fanboy antics.

The fall of civilizations - it tells the story of the rise and fall of different groups of people through history. Often with readings in the original tongue.

From the same creator “vaccine” is the history of the creation of the works first vaccines. Neither podcast has any ads which is awesome.

Lastly factually with Adam conover is great. Comedian discussing often political issues.

Trying to be honest with myself here. I’d say probably 80. I’d struggle hard if it went away, but breaks while rare aren’t too much of a struggle.

Fundamentally do not understand why they wouldn't be appointing judges.

Exactly what I was thinking. This just sounds like it would be a victim impact statement which serves very standard.

I also fail to see how it could possibly be considered irrelevant.

My Godfather tried to read that to me in it's entirety when I was 4 lol.

You miss the part where they were blocking roads while honking? Hell there were splinter groups blocking the border crossings. lol

Im in basically the same position since realistically the change needs to be at an institutional level. I can't really change anything by myself without excluding myself from most modern services.

We need laws and regulations. But like you I fear it's too late.
