I see this as a move to keep illegal, democratic votes eligible.

Similarly here in communist Canada they generate voter eligibility lists from government access sites (our version of the DMV) if however there is some mistake made and you don't appear on the list at the time of voting you need only present your vailed government ID and you can be added on the spot.

I understand that in some states they have started handing out driver license to non residents however, a simple indicator added to these licenses could indicate their ineligibility to vote.

No jail time for man who fatally stabbed senior in Vancouver by xoenix in canada

[–]HiddenFox 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Despite his confession, Woods was released without charges or conditions after the interrogation. He remained free for nine months until, on Sept. 10, 2021, a manslaughter charged was approved and Woods was arrested on a warrant later that day, the judge wrote.

God bless this fucking country, god fucking bless it! When a man can stab another man over a minor altercation, admit to it and then be released back into the public for nine months you know your in a shithole!

The judge excused his behavior based on

1 - "Mr. Woods's direct and indirect experiences as an Indigenous person," - What the fuck does that even mean? Think about this sentence, does it even make sense?

2 - "his significant cognitive deficits" - Seemed cognitive enough to carry a knife and stab someone who pissed him off. He fled from the scene so he clearly understood he did something wrong.

3 - "his ADHD" - Lots of people have ADHD and don't kill someone.

4 - "and to a lesser extent his state of intoxication" -...Pretty sure that would in fact be a major if not the most important factor for his actions that night. If you are already suffering from issues alcohol and drugs are not going to improve your decision making abilities.

My beef here is with the judge. This is what happens when you let idiots get into positions of power. This judge should be recalled. People need to have accountability. I can understand leniency for this person but he should have got 2 years less a day to keep him out of federal jail. He should also have a long 5 years probation to ensure he does not go back to drugs or alcohol.

Now feels like a good time to remind people that many indigenous communities consider photographing the northern lights to be disrespectful and viewing pictures of the lights is avoided. If you’re going to post pictures of the lights, warn people by xoenix in TumblrInAction

Canada’s Carbon Tax Faces the Axe by Questionable in environment

[–]HiddenFox 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

10 of Canada's 13 provinces or territories have adopted the federal plan

If a province did not adopt the federal carbon plan or create it's own version (which had to look a lot like the feds version) they were threatened by the feds by withholding federal transfer payments. So not adopting a plan was not an option. They were forced into it.

The Niskanen Center reports that 80% of households come out ahead when receiving the rebate.

The Parliamentary Budget Office deeply disagrees. Published June 17th of this year from the Fraser Institute it shows, using the governments own data, that Canadians are worse off.

I also wanted to talk about public transportation. Not sure about the rest of you but it sucks balls everytime I use it. It's only advantage is cost.

Almost always there is an inconvenience issue like wait times and weather, over crowding during peak hours or weirdos / groups of obnoxious teens.

I have a mother in law who uses the bus for work. If she is late at all at then end of her shift (9:00pm) she's in for a 25 min wait at night, after hours... Maybe there is a parade going on like at Christmas or Canada day or LGBT... oh well no buses...but works still on. She has had times were she went to work at noon only for the weather to change and they take the buses off the roads...guess it's time for a 30$ taxi...

Edmonton Council Passes Plan for 15-Minute Cities in 14 Districts by HiddenFox in news

[–]HiddenFox[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

The idea of the 15 min city (aka a neighborhood) is not a bad one. It's when they start forcing people into these zones by limiting movement that the issues takes a very serious turn.

They have already stated that

The Edmonton City Council in June in response to those concerns voted to add an amendment stating, “The District Policy and the District Plans shall not restrict freedom of movement, association, and commerce in accordance with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.”

But I see this as a stop gap to appease critics. Once established how had would it be to chip away at these freedoms until the average person couldn't afford to leave.

I've always agreed with Quebec on protecting their culture. They are surrounded by English and with out these laws they would have been assimilated by now.

That being said, I make every opportunity to avoid Quebec. My buddies never believed me when I talked about the French shaft until we took a trip and had to pass though Quebec. If you speak English they treat you like shit (with the exception of Montreal and Quebec city) it's a real thing.

The games industry is undergoing a 'generational change,' says Epic CEO Tim Sweeney: 'A lot of games are released with high budgets, and they're not selling' by hfxB0oyA in Gaming

Man there is a lot wrong here...

1st it's people like him. People who make products not games. Their goal is money and profit not making something people want or enjoy. It's the quick nickle over the long dime. Fuck them and their games as live service model.

2nd people have wised up. Strapping a "star wars" on your game used to be a sure-fire way to a hit game and lots of cash but thanks to companies like EA they have burned that bridge one to many times and I truly believe people are waking up. Don't get me wrong, I know the hardcore fans will buy anything but there is a good chunk now that just say fuck it and that chunk is what's needed to push games out from underperforming.

Along this line of thought is the state most games are released in. Broke , big ridden and a 20gig day one patch... Your buying betas and they are fixing them after the fact. This is really pissing people off! Diablo 4 was a game I was considering buying day 1... Me, my brother and friends all agreed let's wait and see. We were all glad we did. .my brother has since picked it up but me and my 2 buddies who I played D3 with have still yet to bother with it. The hype has passed and we have moved on.

Last, what's this social bullshit? First there is a huge single player market. Second, we had this shit since halo 3. I remember day 1 me and my buddy who live 1000+ miles away picked up halo 3 and took the next day off work. We popped in the disk, quickly connected to each other and went on to play the campaign together for like 5 hours before joining up with other friends for some multiplayer. IT JUST FUCKING WORKED! No bullshit, no downloads, no connection issues. That same night we figured out that it was recording all our matches and we could altogether go and watch them! It was insane at the time and we played from midnight till around noon the next day, took a nap and we're back at it that evening... Haven't had a game release like that since... Instead every halo since has striped features not improved or added...you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out why these new shit games are not selling...

Microsoft's new Outlook client quietly moves your email to the cloud by HiddenFox in technology

[–]HiddenFox[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

This makes Microsoft an in between for any E-mail service you use when using outlook. If say, you used Yahoo or your ISP for your E-mail, before it was - Outlook: Were is my mail? -> Yahoo/ISP mail server: Here you go!

Outlook may send some data back to Microsoft but it's limited in scope. You still have a copy of your files on your computer.

Now it's - Outlook: Here is my login info! -> Microsoft: Thank you! -> Microsoft: Here is Joe Blows Login info give me his mail! -> Yahoo/ISP mail server: Ummm okay.... -> Microsoft: Thank you, lets just take a peak here.... looks interesting... sending to Joe Blows Outlook Client!

This puts Microsoft in a position to read all your E-mails and scrap them for AI, advertising, whatever. Would also allow them to filler or even rewrite Emails and you would be non the wiser. We have already seen tactics like this with google deleting files from Google drive they deem "misinformation."

Key take away here is this:

a user might reasonably assume that the email client they're logging into will continue acting as an email client and that the client might send some limited data for processing in the cloud. However, that's not the case. Instead of your email client authenticating, your credentials are passed to the Microsoft cloud, which authenticates on your behalf. From this point, all processing (including the fetching of your emails) is handled in the cloud. We could not observe any traffic traveling directly from the client to our email provider.

The problem is that publishers have long since stopped caring about the wants of the people playing their products

Totally agree. People with business degrees are now running the show not game creators. Your totally right, it's profit oriented now. They don't make games any more they make products. That mind set lacks and passion for the work. An ingredient that is key to make a game both fun and good. Over the last 2 years every game I have spent time on (and bought) was from an independent, small studio. The only exposer I have to AAA games comes though Microsoft game pass. (I used the Xbox gold hack to get three years for $150!) That runs out in mid 2025 and I won't be renewing.

And you also can't ignore the players themselves, they have their own share of responsibility.

Totally agree as well. I was a huge Battlefield fan. Since Battlefield 4 the game has been terrible. The usual stuff - shitty launch, bugs everywhere, microtransactions and yet every time a new sequel is announced everyone just jumps right back on the bandwagon like a bunch of fools...drives me nuts!

And it's not limited to games either... a lot of franchises like Star Wars have gone to shit and people are like "Well I'm just a huge mega fan!!!" and I'll ask them "but have you even liked anything from the last 4 years that they have released?" Then there's the usual "well they are making changes, they apologized and the next one will be better. They see their mistakes mow and are going to improve...." ...Such fools... Stop wasting my time on that garbage years ago. (Both Star Wars and Battlefield)

Of course if they did fail they will get scooped up by another huge studios but the hope would be a lesson for the industry and the realization of the publics contempt for the ridiculous 'live service' game model.

If there was an election I doubt Trudeau's party (Liberals) would even be able the form the official opposition. (IE They wouldn't even take second place.)

In 2019 it looked like Trudeau was going to lose to Andrew Shear's conservatives. A few weeks before the election Trudeau forgave Irving oil a $42 million dallor federal loan. (Irving is one of the largest oil companies in Canada and also one of the richest families of the same name who own it)

I was bewildered by how so many were just okay with this.... Clearly it looked like Trudeau was getting outed and he was helping out his allies before he was booted out....

He is a link to an article talking about some of the loans.

In typical CBC fashion you have to read to the end to get the whole story including the part about the finance minister getting a free family vacation from the Irving's. I won't waste my time finding the rest of the story but the total was about $42.2 million that was forgiven by the federal government....just before an election....from a known friend and ally.... Nothing shady at all...

It would help too if you had justification for asking $22k. Look online for similar vehicles in your make with year, condition and mileage. If those vehicles are selling for around $22k then you have something to lean on with your request.

Yeah, to be honest I'm a little confused about the order of operations here...

It looks like it was eel first then he was like "You know what would really take this experience to the next level?" Then he rammed a lemon up there preventing the doctors from being able to reach the eel....

I mean what was the end game here? Was he just going to shit it all out in the morning or something? Assuming the 2 foot eel didn't eat it's way though his intestine, how do you get it and the lemon out? Was the lemon basically a plug to stop the eel from coming back out? So, so many questions...

This headline is misleading. It mentions nothing of the lemon!

I'm a pretty smart fellow but wheel of fortune has always eluded me. My brain doesn't work that way. Hand to god, the only way I solved this was to go though the alphabet one letter at a time until I came to S. Took me a solid 5-6 seconds. If I was a contestant with time pressures I might have done something dumb as well. Difference is I'm smart enough to avoid trying out for WOF.

Now when it comes to math or music the answers are near instant. Need to know the tip for $38.45? I'm your guy! Just the way I'm wired.

Am I reading this wrong or something? Is this not targeted at people with the $100M+ in net wealth?

Anyway, it won't work as people with money will flee long before it becomes law. As u/Jiminy commented Buffet is already maneuvering on this with just the speculation of it being a possibility.

Fontana pays nearly $900,000 for ‘psychological torture’ inflicted by police to get false confession by Questionable in corruption

Pretty sure torture is illegal and this would definitely qualify. The settlement is a good start but believe the officers involved should be tried and jailed. This was just plan cruel. How could they possibly deny him his medication? I wonder is he asked for a lawyer at any point?

Florida State Parks Whistleblower Fired After Exposing Ron DeSantis’s Plans by Questionable in environment

I'm sure he will sue and win too. I hope he does. Clearly retaliatory. Good for him on the Go fund me of $63k +.

It's cockroaches like this that ruin everything (the cockroaches being the people who came up with these plans) if DeSantis wants to save any face with the public he would open an investigation into how these plans were aloud to get to where they were and fire the people that aloud it. He should apologize to James Gaddis and get him his job back or even put him in a position of authority within the parks department as he clearly has the parks interest at heart.

My god...reunification treatment...WHAT THE LITERAL FUCK! The more I read this article the the crazier this gets...

in extreme cases, children have been sent across state lines to reunification camps with parents they reject, and they are barred from having contact with their protective parent.

I would be terrified to be a parent in Colorado. It would be enough to make me move... Scary shit. The people who came up with this and those who are enforcing it should be jailed for life... Fucking wackos.

Booze is coming to Ontario corner stores next week. Here's what you need to know by Captain_Codpiece in canada

Free things and convenient things need to be difficult to access

I get that and I see how that makes sense but when it comes to addiction obstacles do little.

I have a buddy who is now 2 years+ sober. He once walked 1 1/2 hours at -5C in a pair of sneakers to get to the liquor store. (His car was impounded for 30 days.) Ended up with frost bite and a trip to the hospital.

What has helped him was AA. The ability to change his mind set. He can't handle liquor no matter what. He has accepted that thanks to AA.

I'm personally tired of pandering every minority and their issues. It's endless. Everyone can be put into a minority group in some fashion needing special attention and demanding restrictions for everyone. Allergic to peanuts, ban them in schools. Someone triggered by loud noises, no more clapping at sporting evens. It's endless and honestly not sustainable. People need to take personal responsibility and stop playing victims.

Got a few thoughts on this one.

Here in PEI they started selling in stores years ago. They were more select about how many stores could sell it but liberal enough that you don't have to go far to get your booze. (I think about 20 gas/convenience stores province wide, but remember we are a very small province. So the coverage is good. The provincial stores all remained open.)

As a normal/sane consumer of alcohol this has been nothing but a convenience for me. Heading to the beach, just pop into the store down the road and bam, it's got a full liquor store with beer, wine and spirits. It's great!

For people with alcohol issues I don't see a problem either. Weather it's a five minute drive or a 20 minute drive into town the distance and inconvenience will not stop them. Their problems are bigger then location and access.

I would think any increase Ontario sees in liquor sales from this, 50 - 75% should be put back into alcohol harm reduction like AA support, messaging and increased policing for impaired drivers. I think harsher laws for impaired driving, especially repeat offenders, should also be implemented.

On another subject, it's funny how they talk about increased availability leading to increased consumption..."Study after study shows this." Yet, when it comes to hard drugs this fact is ignored. it's all safe supply/safe consumption sites popping up everywhere... Funny how experts are able to pick and choose when fact apply.

Never understood this. There is a Starbucks right across the street from our university and it's cramped full of students all the time... Then on the local news you see a piece about the cost of university and interviews with the students about how expensive everything is. I wonder how many of them go to Starbucks every week?

That's the thing with dealing with governments. I'm sure if enough presses is put on them they will find some technically to null and void it. At the very least litigate them into oblivion. It becomes a game of hot potato with were the blame falls.

I get the feeling that they (Mark in this instance) are worried about the election and this is his way of "coming clean" just incase Trump wins and starts pointing figures.

This will put him in a position to be like "I was strong armed into this...I don't have a choice" Don't believe him! He (and all the others) should go to jail for what they did.
