You hear that guys? It's working; keep it up.

This is what he means every time he says "small government." Him and his cronies in charge of everything. And this is just another attempt to normalize this disgusting centralization of power, in direct contradiction to everything Canada stands for.

Fuck off, Pierre, and take your increasingly fascist party with you.

Okay, for a VR indie title? Gorn did incredible.

"No Stupid Questions" isn't meant to be a challenge.

Male's haven't been actively repressed as a result of their gender for thousands of years. Simply switching the genders does not work because they're not equitible terms. Systematically speaking, they come from different backgrounds and expectations.

I take your point that "female" as a durogatory term is relative to the context it's used in. But we can't pretend we've lived in a world of equal opportunity that treats men and women, males and females, equally in trying to make that point.

I have no way to respond to this both honestly and in a way that doesn't either inherently insult your intelligence, or call you out for what I believe you are. So, on the off chance that I am mistaken about what your account is, apologies.

Your citations do not say what you think they say, and the conclusions you are attempting to draw from them are incorrect. You are, in no uncertain terms, using true facts to make dishonest, or simply painfully stupid conclusions. And I think your two month old account which has almost exclusively posted CPC propaganda exists to do this on purpose. Consider building a real platform focused on the needs of Canadian, instead of playing identity politics all day and seeking to tear down political opponents. But, if they did that, the CPC would be a fundamentally different party, so I clearly am asking for too much.

Stop insulting the intelligence of Canadians everywhere with these inane attempts to mislead us, and fuck off.

"Have empathy for the poor" he says, while insisting migrants from 3rd world countries stay where they are.

I am advocating for empathy first. You are advocating for empathy only after we have ours. Your hypocrisy is palpable.

Your "citations" do not say the things that you claim they do.

Yes, Canada has an issue with migrants workers being treated poorly. The conclusions you draw about this are at best misinformed, and at worst downright lies.

The CPC is using housing issues as a scapegoat. We can support our immigration markers. We have failed to do so, but the answer isn't to halt immigration; it's to build homes, and enact laws and policies to ensure those homes go to Canadian citizens who intend to live in them. But, as always, conservatives would rather blame brown people than solve problems. What a fuckin' twist.

It's always 1-2 month old accounts posting this kind of garbage. It's almost like it's timed to coincide with some noteworthy political event.

Mhmm. Everyone is shitting on Nintendo, but the reality is their games are literally keeping up with inflation. The problem is that our wages haven't kept up with inflation, and the cost of living has, at least, kept up. In some cases (rent), it's grown faster than the inflation of everything else.

Don't get me wrong, Nintendo is tone deaf for making this decision now, and I suspect they'd still make billions with a $15 price increase rather than a $30 one. I'm not defending them. But the picture is a lot larger than them.

No.

His only success has been shitting on Trudeau. Whenever he's asked about his own policies or ideas, he stammers for a little bit before turning to talking about what he is not.

"You can't treat the Chinese government's opinion as universal to all Chinese people"

"Everyone on Reddit and Lemmy are morons and lying hypocrites."

Alright, buddy. Perhaps turn that hatred of hypocrisy inward before you embarrass yourself further.

But considering how many straw men you had to build and how many contradictory blanket statements you had to make just to make that post, I suspect that would be too much to ask.

Apparently "nationalism is bad" is an uncivil take. Unless there's another reason someone would ban this comment... 🤔

 

So the situation is this: I am a junior high ELA teacher and I want to bring some videogames into the classroom. What I have to work with are the students Chromebooks. At first glance, I figured I'd throw some short, playable without install games on some flash drives and we could play through whatever game it is, and then talk about it like any other short story. Bring in the relevant terms, connect it to the course outcomes, easy. Then I began to learn the limitations of Chromebooks and how challenging it can be to run Windows .exe's on them, or find games that run natively on a Chromebook without installing.

Getting the rights to install anything on these devices is functionally out of the question. The request would have to go through the school board. Even if they agree that it's a good idea, the practicality of giving me the rights to install things without opening it up so the students can install things and without consuming an inordinate amount of class time in just setting up is unlikely. Ideally, I need games that can run on a Chromebook without running an install, or games that run in browser.

I'm googling around and considering emulator options. If anyone has experience in playing games in these circumstances, I'd love some options and insights. Additionally if people have recommendations for games that would be particularly good (narrative focused), I'd love to hear them. It's 2023; these kids don't need to learn what conflict is through short stories written by white men in the 1920s. With all the push towards student-focused learning and differentiated education, I want to start giving them choice and breadth in how they take in these concepts.

Thanks in advance for anyone who gives me their time and expertise on this.
