Wow. When are you folks going to storm the Bastille, or is that only for Quebecers?
To be realistic, honest, and all the rest with regards to Canadian politics. When shit hits the fan, the government up here actually does listen, despite all the people who whine and cry about the government being conservative. This has been shown time and again to be true, from Towes being called down for his stupidity. To the government standing against the CRTC and threatening to rip them apart, and take over the mandate regarding how incumbents can charge TPIAs(third party internet providers), to various issues with disclosure laws that the government wants to bring into play. Whether it be public outcry, or the courts themselves saying "not legal."
And following with that, this government has presided over a period when the rest of the G7 countries slowed down to a snails crawl and we still had moderate to strong economic growth.
Because Canada doesn't have FoxNews and Rush Limbaugh spreading plutocrat propaganda to counteract job gaming complaints.
Actually we do. As a useful tip, I was one of the people behind getting FoxNews on the satellite and cable in Canada. Because I'm a firm believer in section 2b of our charter of rights and freedoms. That being:
(b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;
You know who really spreads the "plutocrat propaganda" up here? The public broadcaster(CBC), and left-leaning media(such as Torstar). Which no one really pays attention to, as most evidenced by their declining circulation numbers.
I'm surprised you guys haven't revolted over this entire thing yet. Up here in Canadaland we've had something similar happen with regards to the TFW program, similar to H-1B. Shit hit the fan about 3 months ago and ever since then it's been all over the news and at the rate it's going the entire program will be dead by years end.
Not surprising. That's a standard abuse pattern, and it's built on the belief that "x person has changed' and "they can change them, so they go back." I've done the whole support bit before, and the cycle is so cyclical that it's scary. The victim is responsible, the problem of course is that the victim is self conditioning themselves and the abuser is reinforcing it. You can bet that following up you'll see one of the following if they went back you'd see a standard following of control from restricting movements, to controlling who she could or couldn't see.
But you're right, she doesn't have the cognitive process to learn from the mistakes and grow. She's empathizing with her abuser, and trying to change them...because they believe they can change them. Because the abuser is telling them so.
Because there aren't shelters filled with abused men and their children they took with them when they escaped the abusive relationship (that I'm aware of). I'm sure that won't stop your miserable whining, though.
Fun fact: That's because there are very few shelters for men.
We've got a couple here in Canada, and they're heavily used. The abuse industry, and I will call it that for good reason has done quite a bit of work pushing the "only men can be abuses" belief. And have pushed it so hard that it's skewed court and family court against men. It of course also doesn't help that there's a huge social stigma on the "the wife/gf/so/etc" beat up the guy. With the "why didn't you stand up for yourself, etc.," bit. Police don't care one way or the other in the case of a domestic here, and try to find the primary person who instigated it. But if the women is the one, there really isn't anywhere for the guy to go.
But let's move onto the homosexual side. Depending on what study you want to cite, the abuse rates between both same sex couples hit as high as 70%, for the women again there's a place they can go to. For the men, not so.
Well it comes down to one of two things right? Either you get TD, or you don't get TD. And without it, you're in crash central with everyone who isn't crashing out getting a chance to pop you off and lewt your stuff hard. I personally prefer it now that TD works, and more or less works perfectly. Though I haven't played in almost 2 years, I was in a active corp before that for 3 years. I do miss it at times.
I'm wondering what new stuff they've got down the pipe though. I did like the Prophecy fanfest vid.
It wasn't until 2002 that I had something that only took one key.
Now get off my lawn!
That's nice. Well let's see, my very first car was a '81 mercury lynx. It used two keys. My second car was a '96 Saturn SW2 and it used one key for everything. My buddies '91 saturn also used 1 key. It was pure laziness on the automakers part to use more than one key, there were some technical limitations such as back then the steering shaft tumblers would wear slower than the door locks causing the ignition not to be able to start. That was pretty much sorted out by '88 across the board.
You know what worked better for me then longhand notes? No notes. Listening to the teacher instead of writing worked best for me
I had a law professor(criminal and constitutional) that taught by example, using case law to explain what happened and why it happened as such. I still remember what he taught, and how he taught it. I don't remember shit on the provincial statues, because of the way it was taught.
As illustrated in the comic, your mind can end up constructing a "story" around whatever four words your Diceware spits out. So long as you can remember the story, it doesn't need to be grammatical.
Bingo. Funny enough, I just finished doing a security job out in western canada(provincial government office) and moved them to passphrases. Funny how the number of "passes written on post-it-notes" dropped from "everywhere" to nowhere except the firebox safe. The safe of course is in it's own room, and requires two keys to open besides the combination. This of course also cut down on the intrusions into the network, because people simply "walking in" couldn't glean passwords that were posted in the open anymore.
Also, NoScript specifically breaks 3 out of 4 websites until you figure out which half-a-dozen domains must execute JavaScript for each damn website.
I think you mean website developers are so reliant on JS these days, that they think they can't write a site without such heavy use of it that sneezing at it will break their site.
We have a "rehabilitation system" in Canada, it doesn't work. For people who are serious offenders aka dangerous offenders, we usually end up locking them up forever anyway.
No shit. A majority of the second amendment nutters in the US are extremely pro-police state, pro-totalitarianism.
Really? Odd that reality doesn't seem to fit with your narrative. From everything that I've seen in the US, police are generally disliked by both sides of the isle. But between the two sides, especially 2nd amendment folks you'll find them being the ones who don't actually take to the militarization of police. While many left wing people do, and left wing groups. Going as far as pushing police depts. to get surplus military vehicles. So you were saying?
I'd believe you if you had just removed "Obama and company". The push towards greater fascism has been a bipartisan effort in our new millenium.
I'm sure you'd believe that, except that Obama and company have actually been the ones walking the walk, and talking the talk on it. While I'd agree that there has been something in terms of bipartisanship on it, the last 6 years have been something special in terms of "going after ones enemies and things that don't fit the desired narrative."
And a useful tip for anyone that thinks I'm a republican or something. I'm not, and I don't even live in the US. Rather I pay attention to US politics, living in Canada and all that. And what your media "says" and what we actually "hear" outside of US media are two fully different stories. Especially when you figure that nearly every news agency in the US has someone who's got a brother/married/sister/brother/etc in the whitehouse while in controlling interest of *insert media company.*
You sound almost shocked. Considering the things that Obama and company have done in the last 6 years, this is "operation" is right out of the fascist playbook. Attack what you don't control, and shut down private industry by choking off the funds.
And I'll bet you think that Kim Dong Wynn's budget in Ontario was the greatest thing since sliced bread too. Well it was so bad, that not even the ultra-liberal NDP wanted anything to do with it. And people wonder why Ontario went from the economic engine of the country to a have-not-province in 10 years.
Yes Hillary Clinton is a liar.... But Benghazi? seriously? If ever there was an example of republicans trying to make a controversy out of essentially nothing, this is it.
You mean the case of the FOIA emails that came out showing that yeah they lied, manufactured, and deliberately mislead people? Oh who could care about that. Did you go look at them, they're out there for you to see.
Should we go back and look at the expansion of "letter agency" actions under Obama, or how about the more direct bit with the IRS. I mean it's pretty good when even the super-hardcore liberal groups are trying to spin that one. Who needs to cry wolf over it? The current administration by action, and inaction alone has shown the level of it's corruption. Not only politically, but economically as well.
As a useful tip: I'm not even American, but I can see this as plain as day.
You cannot possibly be that stupid. The whole manufactured "controversy" over Benghazi was essentially, "How come Pres. Obama didn't call it a terrorist attack BEFORE he knew for sure it was a terrorist attack?"
Always good to know that people who are actually stupid, are the ones who make the first call. I guess with everything being so busy, with well Obama's most recent uh golf game or whatever. You missed the FOIA emails, and other documents that basically made it a case of "yep the administration lied, and spun, and lied some more." On top of directly manufacturing the narrative. Damn that reality check.
Protip: Canada doesn't have freedom like many other western democracies, or even free speech. We have "as much freedom as dictated by law, courts, and government." And those can be restricted at any time, if they can be so justified. In Canada, it's spelled out plainly in s.1 of the charter of rights and freedoms. There's a reason why many don't think the charter will last beyond 2030, not withstanding the Quebec issue.
Considering that you can find PSN and XBL cards for $50 on sale regularly, for $815, that means you can get a PS4 and have 8 years of online play, or a Xbone and 6 years of online for the same price.
And of course, you get the same things on the PC for nothing. Well isn't that fun? And we shouldn't forget that unlike the consoles which may or maynot be dumped in say 6-8 years, you can take your games with you. Chances on the consoles, little to none.
In 6 years, I'm not sure if you're still wanting to be using this box for gaming, or if you've gave up and bought another $150 video card (3 more years for PSN/XBL) somewhere in the meantime.
Since that mid-range card will probably be working just fine, you can probably push it to 5 years if you're lucky. Works better when you're in the middle of a current generation of consoles considering the crap ports and all that. But, since the current GPU's on consoles are already beat by two year old video cards--then getting 5 isn't a problem.
And with PC games costing $60, well, the console premium for a game just doesn't exist anymore.
PC games might cost $60, but I haven't yet seen a sale even for pre-releases on PC games where you can't find them for as low as 50% before release.
Granted, though, Steam may have more frequent sales, though apparently that can be to negative effect as it means people using Steam refuse to pay full price, artificially depressing PC game sales.
Since there don't seem to be any numbers confirming or denying this, that's pretty much a guess on your part.
No, it isn't. It's much smaller. Just try to get this through your exceptionally thick head. "Lots of people don't want a huge tin box wasting space on or under their desk, and are prepared to sacrifice some 'performance' they most certainly will never need anyway to avoid that scenario."
Here something to repeat until you get it then: Buy a laptop. Otherwise, wait until the end of a generation when heat dissipation and cooling are peaked and build. a machine based on that. Funny how people complain about a "large tin box" that can be pretty small, and still done for cheaper than what the monstrosity they were selling.
That's pretty funny. I've got a mini tower sitting next to me, I'd say it's at about 44db at full load. But I guess that's "too noisy." After all, why would one not do your basic layout with fan flow, and use the basics of air pressure to cool something. Even if you're not so smart or don't know how to, there's enough guides out there.
