That’s absurd. Produce is a fraction of the price at the market, and it’s still better quality after sitting in your fridge for a week.

All public salaries should be public. I disagree that fixing the cutoff causes it to diverge from it’s “true purpose”. IMO it actually gets closer to that purpose every year.

I don’t get it.

There was nothing anomalous or unexpected about the results. Ontario sucks.

In what way? If there isn’t a story to be stupid, then what is stupid about it?

This is an awful post, but also, you are wrong.

Not voting is still a choice. We don’t get to be let off the hook because we couldn’t be arsed to vote for someone else. It’s universal that the lower the turnout, the better conservative candidates do; not voting is simply a vote for the conservatives! This is squarely Ontario voter’s fault.

It’s definitely been seen in many many games, but I would call it an established design element rather than a gimmick, as it has often been used to very good effect.

Not a comment on PZ but often “intuitiveness” and expressiveness must trade off against each other. I prefer expression.

Q - apply heals

Yup.

I’m not an especially fast runner.

Turns out all that was performative. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT.

Apparently I was unclear by what I meant by “commercial porn”, which was: porn that you pay for. If you want to purchase commercial porn, you need a credit card. To use a credit card, you must reveal the verified identity associated with it. To answer your initial question, my point was to draw your attention to the many interactions you already accept that are strongly associated with your legal identity. Personally, I would rather not give up my legal identity just to buy groceries from my local corrupt corporate grocery store, and I find that a LOT more invasive than doing so for porn.

100% of commercial porn sites have always required you to identify yourself.

I will not be responding to comments.

Then fuck off. Like, actually. We’re not here for you to use to meet your emotional needs and not actually contribute.

Okay, but why? The hypothesis that they bought an extremely successful business because they want to make money doesn’t need any further explanation. What is the motivation for them to try to export their strict laws to other countries? You act like it gives them so much personal joy at taking away our gay kissing, that’s reason enough.

I know tone doesn’t come across but I was only being partially ironic. I recognize that sometimes one just needs to bitch. My neighbour across the hall has no concept of being mindful not to bother people while in the halls. He’s a no-joke seven foot tall guy with a booming voice and no volume control. I know every single fucking time he enters or leaves the building, because he’s always ALWAYS on his phone in the corridors. He speaks some African language that I am sure normally sounds delightful, but when a literal giant is approaching my door while shouting in a foreign language, it’s kinda stressful. I can hear him in my entire apartment! Shit, now you got me doing it.

People definitely love you for your personality

Are they just assholes or is it something deeper?

Good for “Canada” (ie the neocolonialist state that exists to facilitate the transfer of wealth from natural resources and the public to private ownership) and, as a regressive tax, bad for the poor. Yep, that’s exactly the Canada I know.

They don’t have to do more interviews. It takes exactly the same number of press releases to explain themselves regardless of how large the public interest is. It doesn’t scale like that unless you are trying to monetize public interest.

Disagree. They were more tolerable but very evil.
