The point about the weekdays vs weekends is that the gov couldn’t care less about a weekend protest, as shown already multiple times.

A general strike on a weekday, stopping the economic movement, would be a TON more noticeable

And yes, you should hold a general strike TODAY

I love it… as I love Prey

Both great fun films

force them to resign… stop waiting for something else down the road

THIS is how you do it… anywhere they go

you president is a convicted felon, rapist and 99.99% certainly a pedophile and child sex trafficker… what did you expect from his gestapo?

yes I get that but this is an emergency. If you fall and crack your head open, would you wait for the weekend to go to the ER?

your country is crumbling, rule of law is a joke and the end of democracy has arrived… perhaps clinging to a minimun poverty wage should not be the priority today

It’s ok to take in the context… but I couldn’t really believe a word by the entity who would benefit from minimizing this accident as much as possible

I agree… but the person calling them traitors does not have the authority to do that.

I believe it has to come from the gov of Alberta (traitors all as well) or the Federal gov.

I do expect some form of movement on this, strategically this is too dangerous to go unpunished

Nintendo is a MASSIVE game company, indie game companies could never produce their games the way Nintendo does. What a confounding example you chose from a company that is notably hostile to hobbiests and indie developers.

When Nintendo came out with the wii, they were laughed out of the room by Sony and MS because their games were too simple and graphics lacking… it was a huge success, that is what I meant… plenty of small, indie even, video game studios have and can produce huge hits… more importantly, they do not need to make a kajillion dollars to break even which means their games are not akin to armed robbery

Large game companies can create games that would be impossible for smaller indie studios to make, large game studios can offer employment of a nature that smaller indie game companies simply can’t.

I am not refuting that… I am refuting your claim that not having AAA games means the video game golden age is over… AAA video games have been mostly pain in the last 7 years… we can have tons of fun with no AAA titles

You are saying “If Mercedes Benz collapses, cars are over”… I am saying “there are plenty of other car makers to keep the industry as a whole”

I love indie games, don’t try to take the high road of claiming you have made yourself more pure by only playing indie games as if that was a solution, they are different categories.

Never claimed any of that… simply said I have fun with them and won’t miss AAA games

Don’t conflate workplace culture with the basic reality of working at a riskier, smaller company vs. a larger established company with longer and more predictable product development cycles. You wanna start a family while working at a tiny company that could go POOF if only one or two things go wrong.

What AAA Studio are you thinking of? which one has NOT laid off tons of people as soon as their very successful launches cash in?

But no health care… sorry, THAT is unaffordable

I think your smashing of AAA games / their studios and a Golden Age of video games is borderline ridiculous.

I think history has shown (Nintendo specifically) that game play is king, you do not need a billion dollar project with ultra realistic graphics to have fun… many people, like me, have a ton of fun and rarely play any AAA games

The second part is also ridiculous (specially the family part) considering AAA Studios were the worst at exploiting their staff and lay them off the second the beta game was sold in early admissions

terms? they’ve been using military equipment and tactics in local law enforcement for at least a decade… but Muricans did nothing because “wE aRE noT ThErE yEt!”

and the stonk goes up!

You’d have to be a giant idiot to risk going to Murica for a football game

Wow this is gorgeous indeed, thanks for sharing.

Listening to the album right now

have prices collapsed yet?

LOL, as if the known brands are not produced in the exact same factories under the exact same conditions…

If you truly care, and can afford to care, you would only buy locally made clothes so you can see for yourself the working conditions… and assume the raw materials they use did not come from those same factories and conditions

The orange pedophile is the best thing to happen to China in the last 3 decades

absolutely and keep in mind that it would be different for people on different generations… I only read about the realities of Vietnam decades later as an adult so it came to bear in my opinion MUCH MUCH later than it should have

I have been in Canada for over 20 years and little by little I have realized most of what I like from Canada is what we inherited/copied from Europe and everything I hate came from the dumpster fire below.

As always, the devil is in the details, but in general I would welcome any stronger alliance with the EU
