However, I think he did take donations for early access to new titles,

When video game companies accept money for early access to their games, that’s a sale. You give them money, they give you access. I’m not sure why that wouldn’t also apply here.

From your description, unless you were allowed to donate $0 for access, that sounds a lot like a sale to me.

RIPBOZO. Streamers like this guy are why everyone hates influencers. I hope they throw the book at him.

No, it’s not really a common problem. I mean in a big city, it’ll surely happen from time to time, but in the 10 years I lived in TO, I never came across one.

This poor guy just happened to go viral and become a posthumous celebrity. And yeah, I think that’s the racoon the poster was referencing!

Call city services, and then hold a vigil? #DeadGooseBC

Edit:

You are kinda right, though:

The city originally planned to put the structures in Barrhaven, but, after community pushback there, said one shelter would now be located near the Nepean Sportsplex and the other near the Eagleson Road Park and Ride in Kanata.

Good point. Guess it just indicates how unpredictable he is. Just like how he said he’d build a wall, then built a little chunk of wall. It’s all about doing the minimum possible to placate his base.

I’m just here trying to get a grasp on what the actual implications of his presidency are going to be. :/

Yeah, sure, he doesn’t care about tradition, I get that. But it also seems to me Trump has always been fairly anti-China. Ofc he’s also plenty happy to misrepresent his intent if it makes his base happy, so maybe that part was just a facade?

Isn’t this a bit of a predicament for Trump? Traditionally the US has supported Taiwan’s independence, and it seems to me that’d be continued under Trump’s “China bad” rhetoric/policy. However, getting chummy with Putin might require rescinding support for Taiwan’s independence.

Am I missing something here?

Last year, the Liberals announced more than $30 billion in new projects, with much of that going to U.S. firms.

Ah, I see our protection fee is due.

Seems like a petty swipe at the NDP for pulling their confidence support. “Look, what you made me do!” Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

“Better the devil you know,” perhaps?

The missing bit is that daddy steals the other kids’ lunch money.

Yeah, that is the polar opposite of gluten free. Hail seitan! 🤘

NPR made it a point to say that some observers worry that the media attention Hoover’s case has drawn could undermine an organ-transplant system with a waiting list of more than 100,000 people. A professor of medical ethics with whom NPR spoke said all indications are that cases like Hoover’s are generally “one-offs that hopefully we’ll be able to get to the bottom of and prevent from ever happening again”.

Obviously the whole thing is horrifying, but it doesn’t move the needle much for me on my personal choice to donate or not.

That’s wild. Did you need a special program to parse stuff out of the data stream? I guess it would mostly come in as http reaponses, so it wouldn’t be too hard, but still an interesting problem.

Not surprising. WhatsAppism is truly the wet socks of organised religion. Hope those Christians are OK.

We’ve tried nothing, and we’re all out of ideas!

c’mon, every god fearin’merican knows that! They teach that in gunday school.

They forgot that US highway speed units are measured as a ratio of a veyron SS’s top speed. For those that don’t know, that’s 7.37 billion bald eagle wingspans per presidential term.
