It's not even limited to the poor, anyone who is not in the ruling class gets fucked over. A lawyer making a few hundred thousand a year is getting fucked over and thinks they are on top. People with money don't notice that they are getting fucked over because money makes problems go away.
You are talking like you can get anything out of Google these days. I seriously am using Bing at work. Everyone laugh but do you know who does have their first page full of paid links? This guy.
Not going to lie. I have made it really far using Google sheets as a database until I had to move to a full DB. Google Sheets is just an interface to a Google run DB anyways. A lot of the time I would just load sheets(tables) into data structures from a SQL library and use it like a regular database.
The bills objective is to give journalists compensation for their work. I think Lemmy actually promotes this because people click on the links to try to read the article directly, instead of viewing them through a social media platform acting as a middleman.
Samsung manufactures around 300 million devices a year. They do 6 million in a week. And you believe that 6 million is the number they will make it to too?
In light of Nexus Mods and Mod DB banning the No Pronouns mod for Starfield, I figured I would look around for alternative sources and collect them in one place for others' convenience. This seems like a good place to put them....
There is a prominent movement where people don't want to see LGBTQA+ people anywhere. They don't want queer people to exist in their world. It makes them very mad to be exposed to the existence of LGBTQA+ people.
I personally think that they are just some queer people in denial, thinking they are going to catch the gay. Those gay thoughts aren't going to go away for these people no matter how they cater their reality.
The Unity pricing debacle has taken an unfortunate, dangerous turn. In a new report from Bloomberg, the company has reportedly canceled a town hall meeting due to what the publication called credible death threats. According to Bloomberg, Unity CEO John Riccitiello was set to address employees Thursday morning, but the...
Unity is done for. Nobody is going to start a new project with their product. Devs are risk adverse. Making a game that is original is already a big enough risk for any studio. Why add an infinite amount of risk but building your game on an engine with unstable management. It is even worth retraining people to use a different engine.
I have no idea where people get these unreal expectations from. The game is overall good. With one big 'but'. The engine is very outdated. If it looks this bad on release, just think about how it will look compared to other games 1 year from now.
It is just awful for a game released in 2023. The character model quality is the same as Fallout 4.
As the criminal trial of 'Freedom Convoy' leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber continues, the Crown has released never-before-seen video evidence showing what the occupation of the nation's capital was like from the police perspective.
The issue isn't that "there are a few bad apples" but half of the basket is rotten to the core. Until the police and systems that regulate police are completely overhauled, we the citizens should not trust the police. The number of "bad apples" is too high to allow the citizens to have confidence in law enforcement.
If three people came up to you and told you a slightly different story but you know one of them is lying. With that risk, do you think it is safe to bother to believe any of them? Even worse is that the other two might be going along with the lie to keep their jobs or not be ostracized by their colleges.
I am very annoyed at spaceship controls. Some attempt at realistic momentum is desperately needed in the game. It just feels so wrong. No magical force should apply inertia to a moving object in space.
This is the first mod I want.
There appears to have been a large and possibly record-setting number of temporary ER closures or service interruptions across the country in 2023 so far, with CTV News finding hundreds instances where a hospital emergency unit, usually in a rural community, has been shut down for hours or days to Canadians seeking emergency...
That Possible Solutions section is a crock of shit. The real answer is to stop "starving the beast" and fund healthcare. This isn't real journalism. It's a propaganda piece.
Earlier this year, the federal government gave the provinces and territories an immediate, unconditional $2-billion Canada Health Transfer on top of a record $198.6 billion to address immediate pressures on the health care system. But there were no strings attached on how it would be used....
Who knew that severely underfunding healthcare would cause bad healthcare
Now let's finish the paperwork to create private healthcare companies. Start building some clinics, making sure our friends get all of those sweet government construction contracts. We can even use taxpayer money to fund all of this.
Unfortunately, totalitarian and oppressive governments have the ability to do whatever they want to their citizens. Expats with relatives living in an unfriendly totalitarian nation are vulnerable to state sponsored extortion. Do you want someone that has a high potential to be exploited in a senior government position? This is an example of the least sinister reason why you would fail a security check. For 1 or 2 years after my divorce, I couldn't get NATO security clearance because people in tenuous financial situations are vulnerable to exploitation. It's a pretty simple concept. With security clearance any risk means you get denied.
Does the CPC have any intentions of making policy and doing something for Canadians? We have a housing crisis, crazy inflation, and climate change that should be areas of focus for any government, but they want to get off attacking trans people. He is not a leader, he is a snake oil salesman and 30% of the country is too brainwashed to act and think like human beings.
I remember when parties had their platforms in a book that they would make before every election. Now some parties don't even bother having a platform and win elections. People are voting for representatives that not only don't care about representing them, but in some cases straight up have comptent for their constituents.
I don't know if that is a great descriptor for Guelph. Guelph is an answer to the question "what if you took all of the bad parts of Cambridge & Waterloo and make a city with that." Just gross.
Two years after Valérie Plante’s administration said a new housing bylaw would lead to the construction of 600 new social housing units per year, the city hasn’t seen a single one....
Developers are the sleaziest slimmest sub-human peices of shit you will ever meet. I used to work in the industry, they are all the same. You could fine them half of the net revenue, and they would still pay the fine over doing anything to help society. It is so lucrative the fine would have to be absolutely enormous to make them not just pay the fine. The fine doesn't really matter anyways because everything is done in credit leveraged against previous projects.
When you read up on U.S. political basics, you can’t help but come across the detail that many of the people in cities in the U.S. seem to lean left, yet what isn’t as clear is why and what influences their concentration in cities/urban areas....
This is a huge factor. Rural people pay all of their taxes but from their perspective, they are getting nothing back. There is no point in building a huge new Hospital 50 miles from any settlement, nobody can use it and it will be a complete waste. Why would they ever vote for politicians that plan on spending taxes to fund services, when another group is saying they will cut taxes?
Hear me out. Instead of bailing Air Canada out every 15 years, we should be buying into the company. They frequently do share buy backs, they should be buying shared back from us. Why are my tax dollars helping a company that does business unsustainably.
Given the huge success that the first installment ended up being, we can't forget that Cities: Skylines 2 is just around the corner and is, in its own right,
I got my pitchfork out and started to sharpen it.
Cities Skylines is one of my top games, even with loads paid DLC. The modding capability and community make up for it.
I always loved atomic purple casing. It looks so good on the steam deck. I want to swap out the casings for my Switch joy-cons but have yet to dive in and buy some casings.
