I'mma say from personal, and ongoing experience: Nature, exercise, and socializing does not make me happier. What it does is it disrupts my emotional state and gives me a different one. It's not happiness, but it's not unpleasant either. It, however, also doesn't give me the motivation to seek it out of my own accord.

I totally forgot that some people are trying to privatize it. Ya, as a private business it'd be abysmal. It cannot be operated with profit in mind or else Canadians will suffer.

Is there a non-necessary reason that Canada Post is losing money like this?

2023 + BC ≥ 3000

Oh 100%. None of them authentically believe in the message of either song, and even Oliver Anthony can realize that despite the money they're bringing in.

I saw someone the other day conclude he was probably a conservative plant, and i think there's some truth to that, but I doubt he actually knew about it. Unfortunately though, he runs into a similar issue that a lot of poor conservatives do, thinking that those with even less than them are stealing from them their crumbs, but unlike them he also acknowledges that we only get crumbs in the first place.

Every time these conservatives start using someone's music, it seems to always turn out that the artists actually really heavily oppose them. Funny how that is.

Why what?

That's pretty explicitly antisemitic...

OnlyFans announced it too, but walked back on it later.

Arguing is a large part of discord.

Fuck him, not for trying to get the game out there, but for trying to make a profit off it.

Fr you're a mod, you're not allowed to be a human with feelings and ideas and opinions! Just blindly care about the community, don't contribute to the discourse!!

The strange aversion to moderation by means of defederation.

Steam and GOG also take 30%. Nintendo, Microsoft, Google, and Apple too for that matter. The only exception is Epic who takes IIRC 12%?

This is great news. Glad to see Xbox players will get to play this fantastic game!!

If they go against that now, then they’ve engaged in false advertising and will immediately get slapped with a huge lawsuit and/or fine,

No they won't. Companies aren't beholden to their commitments from advertisements in perpetuity. In the first place, someone would need to sue, or begin a class action. That'd drag out for years, and almost certainly lose.

If your political beliefs are tied to race, religion, or gender, they'd be covered by Title VII of the CRA. If your political motivations are driven by a desire for better employment law, they may be protected by the NLRA. Beyond that, laws protecting political speech and beliefs of employees would be potentially state antidiscrimination laws, off-duty conduct laws, and coercion laws, but of course that varies state-by-state.

It's a regulatory body for psychologists in Ontario Canada. All Psychologists must be registered with them to be licensed.

that would be covered by the 1st amendment in the US

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.[4]

This only covers what speech congress may abridge. Nothing of your employers or other entities. It would be different if your employer could send you to prison over your speech, but that's not the reality.

I'm not sure increasing punishment is actually an effective manner of combating this. The social implications of being a child predator are likely to have a more deterrent effect than the penal system imo (I don't have data to back that).

I, personally, am an advocate for making treatment for pedophiles freely, easily, and safely accessible. I'd much rather help people be productive, non-violent members of society than lock them up, if given a choice.

Neither. I would have mental health supports that are accessible to them.
