This is gaining traction here in Canada as well. Apparently enough so that they're telling the tax auditors at the CRA(think IRS for Americans) to get the papers, and find out who's cheating at itApparently the largest bank in Canada(RBC) has been caught up in in it as well. And the minister responsible for the CRA is demanding that there be an offical investigation and review of the entire tax code, though what I heard earlier there are members within the Liberal Party(party in power), trying to stop that from happening. There's also apparently stuff relating directly to some members of the current party in power here in Canada and off-shoring, and people are now getting right pissed. Comment sections in general are completely rabid in terms of this going on here. Can't forget either that Canada currently has a serious problem with countries trying or successfully using real estate here in Canada for tax washing. One of the reasons why Vancouver and Toronto housing prices have continued to become insanely overpriced. Something that the average canuck has been complaining about for ~6 years now.
I'm not sure what countries you're talking about. Two parties who agree to arbitration of a dispute also agree to be bound by the arbiter's decision. Otherwise, it's not arbitration -- it's mediation.
In Canada for example, you can't be forced into arbitration via a non-contractual agreement. Rogers Telecom discovered this to their surprise a few years ago, further cases have built upon this the most recent being Ebay discovering that you can't force people into arbitration via EULA's, nor can you force them to come to your venue for any court case or force a person to travel to, or force arbitration in any other place then the complainants home venue.
Some stuff that people(including the law itself) will likely have problems with: The irrevocable, perpetual, and non-exclusive and transferable stuff. Depending on where you live, this would be all contract clause statements. And stuff that can not be used in a EULA because it's considered "a waive of rights, protected by law."
Considering the number of people that I know in tech that are behind him, especially the number who are now for him because he's wanting to gut H1B's...you'd be surprised. How many of your friends have had their jobs outsourced inside the US by imported foreign workers.
You can provide some references beyond hysterical news stories? My guess that there is some of this, but far more is drug addiction related. As well, if you read Dan Savage, you probably know that there are willing "sex workers" as well.
No, likely they can't. It's because the core point of their statement is false. Most prostitutes are women from within the country they live in, and have lived there all their lives. Not saying that it doesn't happen, it does, but in those instances where the women and men are in those circumstances they usually operate out of a bawdy house or something along those lines.
Something that a lot of people don't understand either is that you'll find prostitutes very law abiding at least here in Canada. If they're picked up, they'll have their surety posted as soon as they know what it'll be and they'll show up for their court cases. They'll also snitch on other prostitutes and pimps who are selling drugs or engaged in other things in those lines.
You have weird food prices over there. By my calculation, here in Denmark/Europe, and can make a pizza for about half of what it would take to buy one. Excluding time and electricity.
That's because unlike Europe/Denmark Canada is a large place with a small population, and prices start climbing higher the moment you cross out of cities and in the rest of the country. When I was living and working out in Northern Alberta, milk was $9/4L, bread was $7/loaf, pre-cut cold meats(ham, mock chicken, etc) were around $10 for 150g. Box of cereal(small) was between $9 and $18. Container of laundry detergent(3L) was around $26. That was all in town, the next nearest city to me was 5 hours away...one way.
Someone mentioned down thread about a 50lbs bag of flour for $16? Not a chance here, that's around $30 in my neck of the woods today.
One can purchase a Papa Murphy's take and bake pizza with an EBT card. They even state it on their window signs. It is much cheaper to cook a meal for a family than to buy fast food but it takes effort.
Here in Ontario(Cdn), well I can buy an x-large peperoni pizza for $9.05 with tax(13%). There's no way I could buy the food, let alone the ingredients to make that for less then $25. I mean I've lived on $20-40/week for just food before, it's tough but you can do it.
I'm not sure if they play games at all or are just involved in different gaming circles but I could see the ground work for shit blowing up back when Mass Effect 3 was released with that shit ending. A lot of people were left pissed off by the response to their complaints, being talked down to and being called entitled. People who care have been unhappy with the state of gaming for a while and having "their" media attack them for their hobby was the final straw.
It started way before the ME3 debacle. It hit a head with it though, the incestuous relationship between "game journalists" and the people they were writing about though, blew the top off it. People will only take shit so long, and like you said when those so called journalists decided to start attacking the people that make them money, that was it. It's going to go down in marketing history as one of the biggest clusterfucks in the 21st century and how to kill your brand in one easy step.
No I'm just astonished that despite being founded on a fabrication (there were no reviews) and a harassment campaign people still keep insisting GG are somehow the good guys.
No one said it was reviews, except the people too dense to take a look outside of their echo chamber. It was positive coverage, and it was, multiple times. And in that, there were other people. Can you find that actual harassment? I'll wait.
While simultaneously trying to bully Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn off the internet. Okey dokey then.
Really? Where is this bullying...oh right...now I remember: SJW101: "Criticism is harassment and bullying."
Yep!
You should try harder, just saying.
Ah right so her doing something after this all blew up justifies you starting it off by making up lies. Ethics, got it. Must have been a pre-emptive ethical freedom strike.
So what were the lies again? If you're banging someone, and you're writing about them, that's an ethical breach. Funny how even MSM reporters can figure that one out.
Ah right so her doing something after this all blew up justifies you starting it off by making up lies. Ethics, got it. Must have been a pre-emptive ethical freedom strike.
You mean trying to silence someone's review on their "game" because they didn't like the review? Well that isn't a lie. That she was sleeping around with multiple people who were writing about her? That wasn't a lie. That going by her own definition of rape(cheating on someone), she was committing rape. That also wasn't a lie. So what were the lies again?
Visiting those cesspools? No thanks! I've seen enough before.
Oh, so you enjoy your echo chamber and don't like being exposed to ideas that would throw your world into disarray, and counter that your view point is actually incorrect. Very good, stay in that echo chamber.
Yes, you can just run right up to the UN and they let you in. True story. I'm sure the UN didn't, you know, invite them. And I must say that you seem, in your own words, rather salty about that if I say so myself.
Do you actually know how hard it is to do a presentation at the UN without one of the following? Money, connections, and positions of power. Those people don't have that, people they know who were/are directly involved with them do have it though. So yes, running to the UN.
The irony, it burns.
Oh yes, the irony. That part where you'd rather enjoy your ideological hugbox because reality doesn't fit with your preconceived notions and what the media tells you.
Ah yes, claiming a win after an astonishingly thorough defeat. Reminds me of something:
So who were they defeated by? Looks like to me you're pretty damn salty that a leaderless grassroots revolt against shitty journalists that ran their own giant story/article writing collusion group akin to Journolist(which was called Gamejournopros). The leaks from that easily show exactly how much collusion was going on in that. And you're also very salty at just how these incestuous people were caught giving giving hand outs to their friends, people they were shacked up with, or fucking. Sure does speak a lot about people who don't give a shit that they're being lied to, and like it instead.
Like Gawker, right?
Well GG has never actually claimed for gawker, except costing them 7 figures in ad-revenue and showing people exactly how shitty they are. And showing advertisers exactly how shitty companies like Gawker are. You know, Gawker the same site that believes that bullying people is good. For a group of supposedly evil people though, GG's response was to donate to an anti-bullying campaign. But anti-GG? Oh they were right out there supporting what ol'Sam was saying. But other sites? Yep. Some are just significant drops in traffic, others have closed for good.
No, they just believe in "ethics" as defined by (a) making shit up about people, (b) doxxing them and (c) the hate campaign,
So who have they made shit up about? I'll wait. I'm sure you're going to try trotting out something on Quinn. You know, the same piece of shit that filed multiple false DMCA claims, and then slapped order against her ex because he pointed out that she was a domestic abuser, and was trying to warn others away from her. Also, who has GG doxxed? I'm sure they'll be forthcoming. I'll be happy to point out various anti-GG individuals who have openly doxxed people, and continue to do so to this day. Oh, like that prominent anti-GG person Graham Lineham. FYI, one of the most prominent anti-GG people was arrested a few months back for trying to tell a terrorist how to build a bomb. But they also wrote for big name progressive sites, and as a feminist too.
And what hate? Find it. Because I'll tell you something, anti-GG's have done a very good job of attacking anyone who refuses to fall in line with their group think. I think my person favorite is when anti-GGers decided the "if you're supporting GG, and you're a minority/women/etc., you're a racist/sexist/homophobes." But that's really all their arguments boil down to anyway, trying to claim that they're being harassed and screaming that people are racist/sexist/homophobes because they're losing an argument or being shown that they're actually the shitty people out there. I think my favorite out of all of that has been when Quinn and Sarkeesian ran to the UN crying about how demands for proof of their statements and criticism of their work was harassment.
The entire thing has done a wonderful job of proving how many people can't be bothered to actually read the news beyond what they're being told. Then again, I kinda like this bit too. Where people starting saying "muslims are terrorists," the media will start screaming "not all muslims are terrorists, you're just islamophobic!!!" But if one person in GG does something wrong, all of GG has done something wrong. Yep, no agenda there at all.
Funny, it doesn't look very defunct. Then again, it might look that way to an outsider, especially since it's basically won. Sites that were unethical, spouting garbage or running identity politics are either gone or suffering heavily financially. People who parroted those views have either quit or been fired, or moved down in the world to even worse sites. Not only can't you stop mentioning it, the media can't either. There's still 1-2 stories nearly every day about it. I think my personal favorite is how gamergate is now all the evils of the internet and worse then 4chan all rolled into one. Never mind of course that Weev was never a e-celeb or proponent. He was a successful troll in some aspects but that's it. Note how many articles there are spouting his pov...a whole not even one page of results from one of the main gamergate hubs. Yep, such a huge following, not only that but he's labeled as exactly who he is right off the bat. A member of GNAA, and his view points are spelt out right too.
One also can't forget that gamergate unlike those on the regressive left or regressive right doesn't believe in identity politics being the answer, rather that identity politics is cancer. Which means if someone has a good idea, it doesn't matter who they actually are. But, then again you've got all those people on the regressive left side of the spectrum that are pedophile defenders or openly pedophiles, that you like to rally around.
And diagnosis is pretty easy: the excessive urination and sweet smell, and taste if you're willing to taste, of the urine have been well documented since ancient Greek times.
Sadly, that doesn't always mean much. My sister ended up being a juvenile diabetic(at the age of 4, this is going back ~30+ years now), and none of those methods actually showed anything. She even showed normal glucose levels and didn't show the usual indicators of ketones in her urine. The doctor and diagnostic testing didn't show it. Even my grandmother who was a head nurse, couldn't figure it out until she had a low blood sugar reaction. Then it all clicked for her. It was close, she spent 6mo in ICU after that first low blood sugar reaction.
Anti-vaxxers are just one teeny little step away from being the people who refuse to give their diabetic children insulin on religious grounds.
Nope, they're exactly the same. Different form of religious fundamentalism, but it's still religious fundamentalism in the end. The anti-vaxxers are just replacing a over-figure with a human one that tells them that all the ills can be fixed with xyz. It's the same with the homeopathy nuts.
If dumb genes are killed off, why are there still so many stupid people around?
That's easy, because vaccines(among other forms of medicine) save stupid people and people with dumb genes that would contribute to their early deaths.
APU's will never beat a GPU/CPU independent configurations, and if you're not gaming the basement priced out intel-all-in-one APU is just fine for every day work. The computer market is very slow here in the west, outside of gaming PC's. However outside of the west, especially in countries like Japan, China and various places in Central/South America or ex-bloc countries in Europe. The PC market is what it was like here back ~20 years ago, just entering it's golden age of cheaper hardware. Especially in places like Japan and China where gaming was mainly on consoles or heavily restricted.
Except for the price. Let's look here in Ontario, which operates not only nuclear, but wind, solar and hydro-electric. The prices break down like this: Nuclear 0.055kWh, Hydro-electric 0.019kWh, Wind 0.26-0.80kWh, Solar 0.22-0.65kWh. This pricing scheme of course has driven the price of electricity in Ontario for the consumer to 0.17kWh at peak. Of course we still sell electricity to the US at 0.019-0.061kWh.
In other words, you had people working at polling stations that didn't know their shit and therefore you're blaming the new laws, not the incompetence of poor training. The people at the polling station I've gone to, have been working there since the 1990's and had all of this stuff down without a problem. The only thing in that the federal government screwed up, was not having enough training to get the "new" people up to date. And there were a lot of new people working at polling stations at the last election.
AMD has been in this position before, and Intel has bailed them out several times. Because a single company holding almost all of the market share would be bad, very bad in the eyes of regulators and anything else. One of the reasons that AMD does poorly in the eyes of investors is because unlike nvidia or intel they don't leverage their patents against other companies and generally give it away or via patent sharing. Don't forget that AMD is still recovering from the BS that Intel pulled several years ago, and Intel has yet to pay the 8B or so that the courts have ordered.
Well guess what, neither those nor any other need for ID is not only a Constitutionally protected right but a duty for all citizens that is essential for the functioning of our Democratic system
A lot of democrats like to say just how great our electoral system here is in Canada. But suddenly shut up as soon as they find out you require ID and/or a guarantor under oath to prove that the person trying to vote. Any country that doesn't take it's right to vote seriously, and minimize fraud is just being stupid. People who push that "ID isn't required" yeah, going to label them stupid as well. The only reason I can think of that they don't want ID of some kind for elections is so they can attempt to game the system. In the US nearly everyone has some form of ID, whether it be SSN, drivers license, paying bills, medicade card, EBT card or whatever else.
For some reason I find that a more rational belief than the belief that Trump will be somehow better for America than the other candidates.
When the media, the beltway, and political insiders are all saying "the world will end if Trump is elected..." it more likely means "their world will end." If he does even half of what he's proposing it means bad stuff for the politicians who've been sucking on graft for years, and it means even worse stuff for special interest groups that have paid graft for years.
That you consider your fantasy of "leftist, so-called "social justice" ideology" to be of the same level as "Hitler did nothing wrong!" and "Bush did 9/11" tells us more about you than anyone could want to know.
Considering the stuff coming off tumblr and twitter? Yes. Especially the stuff that starts merging into intersectional feminism, radfems, and so on. You know like the "kill all men" and various pro-genocide statements against particular groups of people. What? You need examples? Sure, there's years worth of them here. SJW's are just racists, sexists and bigots under a different name, they're no different then the conspiracy loons. But just a FYI, the vast majority of the "Bush did 9/11" are on the left, so are the "it was a Jewish conspiracy." See Leftypol if you need examples.
Canadian judges are the same way, the justice system is for all intents the same between both countries. The difference seems to be the laws, and the fact that the UK decided to go "hail corporate" unlike other commonwealth countries. And I see a lot of Americans trumpet how great the justice system is up here. Though there are plenty things wrong such as light sentences and allowing absolute garbage back out on the streets after they have 100+ violent assaults, and not actually throwing them in jail until they ambush and try to murder someone.
True. It's also because they have a lot more responsibilities then say in the US. Head nurses here can clear $100k easily, your average nurse easily pulls in $50-70k, not counting overtime in both cases. A friend of mine who works at the local GH pulled in $133k after overtime, she's not even a head nurse. Last year was just a bad year, especially early 2015 for the cold/flu and number of people suffering problems due to age related diseases. $133k for someone two years out of nursing programs, and is 23 is doing pretty well in my book. Especially since the median wage in my county is around $52k.

Nope, they're exactly the same. Different form of religious fundamentalism, but it's still religious fundamentalism in the end. The anti-vaxxers are just replacing a over-figure with a human one that tells them that all the ills can be fixed with xyz. It's the same with the homeopathy nuts.
If dumb genes are killed off, why are there still so many stupid people around?
That's easy, because vaccines(among other forms of medicine) save stupid people and people with dumb genes that would contribute to their early deaths.
APU's will never beat a GPU/CPU independent configurations, and if you're not gaming the basement priced out intel-all-in-one APU is just fine for every day work. The computer market is very slow here in the west, outside of gaming PC's. However outside of the west, especially in countries like Japan, China and various places in Central/South America or ex-bloc countries in Europe. The PC market is what it was like here back ~20 years ago, just entering it's golden age of cheaper hardware. Especially in places like Japan and China where gaming was mainly on consoles or heavily restricted.
Except for the price. Let's look here in Ontario, which operates not only nuclear, but wind, solar and hydro-electric. The prices break down like this: Nuclear 0.055kWh, Hydro-electric 0.019kWh, Wind 0.26-0.80kWh, Solar 0.22-0.65kWh. This pricing scheme of course has driven the price of electricity in Ontario for the consumer to 0.17kWh at peak. Of course we still sell electricity to the US at 0.019-0.061kWh.
In other words, you had people working at polling stations that didn't know their shit and therefore you're blaming the new laws, not the incompetence of poor training. The people at the polling station I've gone to, have been working there since the 1990's and had all of this stuff down without a problem. The only thing in that the federal government screwed up, was not having enough training to get the "new" people up to date. And there were a lot of new people working at polling stations at the last election.
AMD will eventually go bankrupt.
AMD has been in this position before, and Intel has bailed them out several times. Because a single company holding almost all of the market share would be bad, very bad in the eyes of regulators and anything else. One of the reasons that AMD does poorly in the eyes of investors is because unlike nvidia or intel they don't leverage their patents against other companies and generally give it away or via patent sharing. Don't forget that AMD is still recovering from the BS that Intel pulled several years ago, and Intel has yet to pay the 8B or so that the courts have ordered.
Well guess what, neither those nor any other need for ID is not only a Constitutionally protected right but a duty for all citizens that is essential for the functioning of our Democratic system
A lot of democrats like to say just how great our electoral system here is in Canada. But suddenly shut up as soon as they find out you require ID and/or a guarantor under oath to prove that the person trying to vote. Any country that doesn't take it's right to vote seriously, and minimize fraud is just being stupid. People who push that "ID isn't required" yeah, going to label them stupid as well. The only reason I can think of that they don't want ID of some kind for elections is so they can attempt to game the system. In the US nearly everyone has some form of ID, whether it be SSN, drivers license, paying bills, medicade card, EBT card or whatever else.
For some reason I find that a more rational belief than the belief that Trump will be somehow better for America than the other candidates.
When the media, the beltway, and political insiders are all saying "the world will end if Trump is elected..." it more likely means "their world will end." If he does even half of what he's proposing it means bad stuff for the politicians who've been sucking on graft for years, and it means even worse stuff for special interest groups that have paid graft for years.
That you consider your fantasy of "leftist, so-called "social justice" ideology" to be of the same level as "Hitler did nothing wrong!" and "Bush did 9/11" tells us more about you than anyone could want to know.
Considering the stuff coming off tumblr and twitter? Yes. Especially the stuff that starts merging into intersectional feminism, radfems, and so on. You know like the "kill all men" and various pro-genocide statements against particular groups of people. What? You need examples? Sure, there's years worth of them here. SJW's are just racists, sexists and bigots under a different name, they're no different then the conspiracy loons. But just a FYI, the vast majority of the "Bush did 9/11" are on the left, so are the "it was a Jewish conspiracy." See Leftypol if you need examples.
Canadian judges are the same way, the justice system is for all intents the same between both countries. The difference seems to be the laws, and the fact that the UK decided to go "hail corporate" unlike other commonwealth countries. And I see a lot of Americans trumpet how great the justice system is up here. Though there are plenty things wrong such as light sentences and allowing absolute garbage back out on the streets after they have 100+ violent assaults, and not actually throwing them in jail until they ambush and try to murder someone.
Nurses are paid quite well in Canada AFAIK.
True. It's also because they have a lot more responsibilities then say in the US. Head nurses here can clear $100k easily, your average nurse easily pulls in $50-70k, not counting overtime in both cases. A friend of mine who works at the local GH pulled in $133k after overtime, she's not even a head nurse. Last year was just a bad year, especially early 2015 for the cold/flu and number of people suffering problems due to age related diseases. $133k for someone two years out of nursing programs, and is 23 is doing pretty well in my book. Especially since the median wage in my county is around $52k.
