Alberta is a squeaky wheel, it gets a lot of grease. Plus it's still the spiritual and political seat of the modern Canadian conservative movement.
Not seeing this is not seeing how places not call Alberta, Ontario, or Quebec are treated federally.

It's an old Reform Party plank. Probably predates them, too. But it goes back at least to ol' Preston Manning.
Eh. People should take things as seriously as they feel they should. A lot of actually important shit, that challenges real and significant injustices, gets shut down with "don't take things so seriously". We don't need to turn discussing our feelings about the world into an "I'm so chill" competition.
But also, people need to understand - on both sides of the utterance - that "I find this offensive" is an informational statement, not a demand for action. If I find something you've said offensive, that's information that is now yours to weigh as you please. If you don't care to understand why, or decide that my feelings don't outweigh whatever else you're trying to do, then you're now making that decision with a little bit of extra feedback.
Getting defensive about someone not liking what you've done is on you.
Facebook: Now an unmoderated space, except for if you report on what Facebook is saying. Or criticize the actual social hierarchy in any way.
"If you aren't a programmer, don't speak" is about what I expect from programmers, yes. That kind of elitism is why most programmer-only projects are utter shit.
Someone should tell these people about gasoline (or electricity) if they think "having to pay to use your car" is an insane notion.
Nah. They knocked on the door and interrupt a stranger's day to sell Jesus. They need to learn to not do that if they're not prepared to deal with the responses.
Tgis is what gets called out, and not equating disabilities with illness?
You treat an illness. It's something you try to eliminate. A disability isn't something that has a cure, and often needs accomodations rather than treatment.
It's fascinating rhetoric if he is talking about the trade deficit. It really speaks to his habitual refusal to pay for products and services rendered.
He thinks paying for shit is for suckers.
Carney was a big deal back in the day. He might have the name value.
The charisma? No. But then, I don't think the most charismatic person alive could pull the Liberals out of their current spiral in the next 3 months.
But, it’s been mostly the AAA studios that produced massive, massive high-budget flops, and then they laid off a bunch of their staff.
Those are still failures on the publisher's part. This isn't 30 years ago. Most game studios are not independent, they're owned by the publishers, and the publishers have immense creative control.
No, but when developers and the rest of the teams see that it’s “live-service schlock”, they should start looking at their resumes, instead of thinking “well, my job is safe because it’s a large corporation”.
Really easy to say, but, believe it or not, during a time where the tech industry is actively shedding 10s of thousands of jobs, looking at your resume doesn't actually do anything for you.
Honestly, you seem to be saying "it's developers fault because I refuse to understand power dynamics". You may as well just scream "bootstraps" over and over.
The solution there is to have them pick the instance rather than the underlying technology. To want to join, I don't know, tenforward.social and chat with other Trekies (and connect to other communities as a bonus) rather than to join "Mastodon".
But everyone's all focused on big social now, caysing usball to approach this backwards. Once you do that, things get more confusing and frustrating.
