I am begging for a change to our voting system at this point almost as much as I am begging for people to actually read the election programmes. Look past the face on the TV, learn what they actually stand for folks!

Thanks! I’ll give it a go once the backlog gets cleared out a bit.
This is so high on my “should play list” and yes I haven’t gotten around to it. Is it truly as good as folks say? What are your experiences with it having played the original?
Ticket to Ride
It’s funny how Edge got lambasted for it when they introduced that feature, but it’s legitimately super helpful and non-invasive.
Yeah, I’m gonna go and suggest the GST vacation is probably a “costly political gimmick”. Honestly, I’m with her on not signing off on that.
“Trump just finished the first episode of Fallout on Prime, confuses it for a strategy” - better headline. Serously, if it weren’t for the fact that this clown is president-elect, we would have collectively ignored him a long time ago.
This would’ve been a better joke if you changed “lockdown lunacy” to “a restriction not imposed by the government they were protesting” or just “a wild array of conspiracies mostly regurgitated to them by social media”.
I was gonna mention Bugsnax, but you beat me to it. That game starts so innocent.
The DLC for that game was a trip too. Highly recommend checking it out as it really added to Alan Wake 2 for me.
I went into Oxenfree completely blind after picking it up for next to nothing on the switch store. Great story with choices that actually matter. OP, do yourself a favor and play this without a guide.
It’s almost impossible to have not been bombarded with the main story and setting of Morrowind by this point. But when this game came out, it was an experience and a half. Unlike anything I had seen before at least. Sure, Ultima, TES 2, etc all existed. But none of them had never sold their world so effectively if you ask me.
David Cage gets lots of shit for his games, but If you experience them blind without spoilers ahead of time I find they’re pretty good interactive movies.
And here we see the actual problem - Danielle isn’t the crazy lady holding the party hostage (like Kenny’s comment about the “inmates running the asylum” suggested), the whole party has gone off the deep end.
I don’t see how this has any chance of being fixed, unless the UCP suffers multiple crushing electoral defeats over the next decade or so.
I was already in favor of Trudeau stepping aside to let someone else run, but this has convinced me even more that this is the right direction for the Liberals. It would instantly invalidate the years worth of vitriol the conservatives have fomented towards Trudeau personally (see the “fuck Trudeau” merch) and send them scrambling to drum up the same amount of baseless hate towards whoever runs in his place. Personally, I think this is the best play the Liberals have, and a masterful way to make the Cons look like they have no platform other than outrage.
It honestly reads like the author dismisses the potential of foreign influence affecting both domestic actors and politics outright without proof. There’s ample evidence that Russian state-affiliated actors have worked with social media influencers to foment outrage, for example. That’s not a “new red scare”, that’s straight up proof of intelligence operations designed to undermine Russia’s geopolitical opponents.
“Big surprise” said everyone with half a brain.
Seriously though, this is working exactly as intended by the UCP - they want to have Alberta’s faith pinned to the petro dollar to stay in power. Hard times, global downturn? Blame everyone for ruining Alberta’s precious oil industry -> vote UCP to stick it to the federal government. Good times, oil boom? The UCP freed us from the green yoke the federal government is trying to force on us -> vote UCP to keep your heard-earned success.
Money well spent Alberta. Keep doubling down on propping up an unstable, temperamental, speculation prone, polluting industry with a great track record of improving the lives of all Albertans. If you’re in a hole, keep digging.
Having lived and worked in several countries, I think the concept of Jantelagen is rooted in the Protestant Reformation more than it being a specifically Nordic thing. Not only does it fit well with the general premise of the Protestant worldview, all countries that were early converts seem to have ingrained that particular perspective (under various names) in their collective cultures.
Exactly why I commented that. :-)
