It would probably just result in games not being for sale in Canada.
Maybe a progressive tax, not a ban, eg if your game grosses say $1M sales in Canada you pay a higher tax rate if you don't attest that you've set aside enough cash to do this when you sunset the game. Then if you said you'd do it but don't, the CRA can come after you. Revenue from this tax could be earmarked for computer education or indie studio grants or something.
I was about to say that slave 'ownership' doesn't make him a terrorist, but yeah it does because i don't think it's possible to enslave a person without terrorizing them.
The developers of a game similar to Among Us would be forced to update the game with bots to be compliant?
I'm not a programmer or IT specialist or anything but I think the ask would be more like,
when discontinuing multiplayer service they must roll out an update to allow gamers to specify private server addresses
They don't need to program bots, they need to open the code enough for fans to keep the game functional. Like when I was a kid I could play multi player games with my friends by typing their phone number into the game. Our computers would connect through the phone lines and we could battle for the fate of Azeroth. I still remember the phone number of the friend I did that with.
I don't think Google can be blamed too much for presenting an article from a relevant, generally trustworthy site, that has the search query as the article title.
As a parent with a kid in child care, my feeling is that it's more efficient to make programs available to everyone, and manage wealth disparity with effective taxation.
I think people are more likely to support the funding of programs that they can use. And it's better to avoid segregating children by economic status.
The person you asked your question of claims to be a biologist, but you dismiss the relevance of biology.
...basing on biology is clearly flawed...
It sounds like you might be more interested in an answer from a sociologist. Or are you asking the biologist to argue that basing it on biology is not flawed?
I don't know what "stop colonizing the west bank" would look like, but I don't think it would be as simple as withdrawing an army. Which imo makes peace in Ukraine more achievable than justice in Gaza/Palestine/Israel.
This post is about Ukraine so let's not get into it.
Calling it "the party jug" pretty much tells everyone exactly what it's for...
...sharing with a large group of people?
this is obviously directed at quite a young audience
To me it seems aimed at people that want to buy a lot of alcohol for not very much money, which tends to be young people, but they don't seem to have done anything in particular to target young people.
1 liter of vodka is more than enough to kill a healthy adult by alcohol poisoning. It's not the size of the container that prevents that. Are these 4 liter jugs less expensive than 1 liter bottles?
If you want to prevent alcohol deaths you should focus on addressing the causes of alcoholism (I'm not an expert but shooting from the hip: loneliness and hopelessness) and drunk driving (again, not an expert but: transit infrastructure).
I grew up with bagged milk but don't have it where I live now. With my two kids and I enjoying breakfast cereal regularly, our recycling bin fills up fast. I miss milk bags. So low waste. I remember we'd slit the end and use them for sandwich bags in our lunch bags. Or use them to wrap blocks of cheese.
I swear I remember my mum freezing sealed bags of milk for the cooler to keep meat cold on the way to the cabin.
I don't think Jesse Owens was tainted just because Hitler congratulated him.
I don't think people that resisted the Nazis are tainted just because Israel thanks them.
That's why I disagreed with your initial comment.
Just as we shouldn't consider Jesse Owens to be tainted by Hitler's endorsement, we shouldn't consider anti-Nazi movements to be tainted by Israel's endorsement.
That's all we seem to disagree on.
Yes, we should be skeptical of Israel positioning WW2 heroes as champions of Israel's interpretation of Zionism.
Also for clarification: I'm opposed to Israel's apparent genocide of the Palestinians. I think Israel's crimes are more similar to the Americo-Canadian genocide of North America's first nations than with the Nazi genocide of European Jews and other marginalized minorities. Ie Israel isn't doing "murder factory" genocide, it's doing "encroachment and suppression" genocide (and starvation, and persecution). Also similar to what Russia is doing to Ukraine.
The messaging could have been clearer but I'll spell it out for the dumb.
Phase 1:
Don't panic buy medical supplies expecting them to protect you. We don't have enough, and frontline healthcare workers need them to protect themselves and others, you don't know how to wear them and they probably don't fit you properly.
Phase 2:
We still don't really have enough medical grade masks but just fyi: any sort of mouth covering will reduce the risk of a contagious person sneezing into the mouth of a vulnerable person. If you have to go out, please wear something over your face. Cotton is better than nothing.
Phase 3:
A tight fitting mask really is best, it limits a contagious person's generation of aerosolized clouds of viruses, and limits a vulnerable person's exposure to clouds of aerosolized viruses.
Look mate I agree that Israel is probably committing genocide against the Palestinians. But that doesn't mean that everyone that Israel has ever liked is tainted, that's idiotic.
I live in Canada, it's illegal in Canada to carry anything outside your home for the purposes of defense against humans. (But if you have something with you for a different reason you're allowed to use it). This makes my personal preparations somewhat irrelevant to Americans.
My question is for someone passionately arguing against keeping a gun for self defense, with the implication being it's law, and so regardless of training and care and personal circumstances.
That's not really me. However, I do think that guns aren't a very good defense investment. I think a lot of other, more practical, preparations get overlooked because guns are fun.
I have a colleague that lives in Buffalo NY. When the pandemic hit, he and his wife bought 10 guns. When I spoke with him in 2023 they had never fired any of them.
The pro-gun crowd doesn't just blanket recommend guns for everyone in every situation either, so my question is specifically about how those worst case defensive scenarios are envisioned by people who eschew the idea of personally owning guns.
What you're saying about blanket recommendations is not really true. My boss, a real actual person that I respect (for other reasons), believes that every adult in the country ought to own a gun.
But again, I'm not who you're looking to engage, I'm not opposed to the idea of personally owning a gun.
Doctors are people. People value more than just money. If you start paying doctors more they are likely to work less, so that they can spend more time with their families.
I'd concede that this is less true for doctors near the beginning of their careers that have: student debt to pay down, mortgage down payments to save for, and fewer kids (in aggregate).
But if you want to know how to attract that sort of doctor, you shouldn't be surveying doctors, you should be surveying 3rd & 4th year med students.
