'Tis a bit of a thorn in one's side, aye.

The only real work is my work. The only person who deserves a living wage is meeeeee!

You can't argue with results! Nova Scotia is notoriously rich and prosperous, after all!

It can't be "takes the Stand action", though, because Stand reads "You stand up from being prone." If your reaction prevents the targer from standing up, then they have't actually taken Stand, just attempted to.

The thing is, preventing someone from getting up - especially someone with any amount of combaat training - involves a lot more than just standing next to them. You have to get your weight on top of them, and then usually attack or manipulate one of the limbs.

That is not an act that leaves you out of the way. It kind of means being on top of the target, at least while you're forcing them baack down.

So, the Stay Down reaction kind of needs to be imagined as something that interferes with a strike that can be done without risking an ally.

Look to something like wordpress.org or writefreely.org if you want to self host. If you want a free hosting platform, weirdly enough, blogger still exists, or you can use wordpress.com.

In Narrarive Declaration's Kingmaker 2e actual play campaign, their necromancer invites people to sign contracts to be brought back as thralls after they die, because informed concent is leagues better than doing it without concent.

Plus, he promises them health and dental.

Is this something communities could opt out of? Not everyone wants their community flooded with comments from people replying to people who aren't even community members.

Because the Israeli government has very effectively weaponized the holocaust against critics, and politicians are very sensitive to that kind of thing.

Exactly. Nintendo is not our friend, but it's also playing by the rules it has available to it. It's the rulemaker's fault if the rules are shite.

As a publically traded company in the current system, Nintendo is not in the business of making video games, it's in the business of making shareholder value. Video games are just a tool for doing that, exactly how a PC is a tool for writing documents or developing software. At the end of the day, companies have more than one tool at their disposal, and are going to use all of them to compete.

It's on us to take away the tools we don't think they should have access to, not on them to voluntarily not use the ones that are in play.

They should just be posting shit on their websites. We still have web browsers. We don't need to be able to reply.

It's the slow but inevitable achievement of end-state of a system designed to re-frame and re-centralize power in the hands of the elite following the liberalization of political power.

This is its purpose. It always has been.

The NDP membership may be a coalition of different degrees of "left", but the elected representatives are politicians, many of whom will do what they believe is best for their careers.

The NDP is just a political party. The membership, the politicians, and the execuitives are all separate parts with separate goals that often do not align. A significant paart of the last two groups only care about winning elections.

It's also a win/win target for him. If the government did eliminated the TFW program, there'd be a wave of fear over wages and an endless stream of attacks funded by employers. If they didn't, then there's a bunch of brown people taking good ol' Canadian jerbs!

Way less weird than Venus. Poor Venus, nobody ever notices its quirks.

Bingo. Grades were ok? No scrutiny for you whatsoever. The fact that you're being physicallly and emotionally abused by your peers to the point of being afraid to say more than 3 words to them, or anybody else, because you don't kbow how to interact with them is not a concern.

You only get help, or even just context, if you're causing problems for the adults.

Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power. - Benito Mussolini

It seems really weird that Canafian Tire bought the Zeller's motto, but not the name or branding.

Where will the lowest price be the law?

They haven't really been Canadian since Wendy's bought them in 1995. That brief period of being publically traded notwithstanding.

Yeah. Weird the focus on Carney's resume when BTW legislation has basically been #1 on every PM's and Premiere's speed dial foor 30 years now.
