Oh look a Canadian that can’t see their own descent into the far right fascist rabbit hole on the horizon. Somehow even watching the US, you seem to still be headed that direction as if it couldn’t possibly happen in Canada. Because… reasons?
We look like fucking morons on the world stage.
The only sort of solace to this, is that many other countries are clearly following the same path, so its not something inherent to just the US. Idiots are everywhere, and they vote.
Everyone is pointing to the US, but the same initial precursors are happening under their own nose.
Most people don’t know extensions exist. Because they don’t care and have never been shown.
Pissing someone off is a strong motivator for them to start searching though.
People watch Avatar because of the bleeding edge CG. It’s not a unique story. It never has been. It’s Pocahontas. It’s Dances with Wolves. It’s Fern Gully. It’s A Man Called Horse.
Theyre all similar stories. Foreign heroes saving the “savage” local population that can’t defend themselves from the technology, while learning about them along the way.
The story isn’t why people go to watch Avatar.
Oh people have definitely used corn for that. It is a phallic shape.
To be fair, corn is native to the Americas. And it can be made into virtually anything: food, fuel, cleaning products, even plastic (PLA).
No, but it does specifically call out some for EV specific comparisons.
the asker must know and trust the one providing the answer.
This is possible if there’s a central authority for that that everyone can agree to trust, like the government records directly. The issue is ensuring the rest of the chain remains anonymous so the only thing the authority gets is the request that an undisclosed service is verifying John Doe is 18+ and nothing else. And that’s not something many governments are going to want to allow with the increasingly alarming amount of authoritarian leadership.
The days of dial up were the wild west online. Waiting sometimes hours for your music and porn to download through Kazaa or Limewire. And inevitably getting something totally unrelated just to troll you.
Yeah it’s really more about monitoring usage and educating them. The tablet/phone is not a babysitter, but many parents seem to treat it like one.
I bet you 90% of those didn’t have any parental controls or even parents monitoring their usage after the fact.
Not by a long shot. There’s a reason Steam has an entire section of the library page that shows controller compatibility. Not to mention Big Picture mode and all the living room gamers. Keyboard sand mouse on a couch is terrible, no matter what hardware you have or how you try to convince yourself it’s not.
I personally use a controller 99% of the time. In both casual and competitive games.
I totally forgot about the Guardians game. I don’t think I ever finished it. Got lost in the hustle and bustle of life.
Gonna have to go back through that.
Oh Pearson definitely does thst as well. But not everyone lives near or has reliable transit to a testing facility. Online testing is essentially a requirement for those people.
Pearson is a testing company. They use all sorts of sketchy shit under the guise of anti-cheating. Much of that requires specific plug-ins and stuff that only work in Windows.
Even if you could get it working, but they’ll likely just say you were cheating, and take the $300+ you paid to take that required test.
It’s always been that way. The ones ones that ever claimed differently were those people. Because they couldn’t comprehend the thought that they didn’t earn and deserve what they were actually handed.

Well you’re in luck, that should be coming soon.
I’d bet 99% of those deceased individuals are receiving benefits to an account that hasn’t been accessed since they died. Meaning the government just never processed the death notification to stop the benefits.
So not actually fraud, just beureaucratic incompetence inherent to these overly complex systems that would be solved by things like UBI or other real social safety nets instead of having a million qualifiers for access.
They’re not. The cost skyrocketed as soon as student loans and grants meant a nearly nun limited supply of funds for Administration to legally grift.
