There’s definitely people who unwittingly spread misinformation, but the rule wasn’t for people who just post once or twice, but people who have posted misinformation and been warned previously multiple times. That’s not a mistake at that point, that’s a pattern of behavior.

Since Legault took power in 2018, I’ve come to remember him for:

• Thinking the been on face coverings and religious symbols hasn’t gone far enough
• Blaming nurses, not employers, for patients’ issues rising from the nurses’ strike
• Bill 96, which has let them require all businesses have French signage (replaced at their own cost), prohibition of already-existing English government resources, and limits the number of students in English speaking schools
• Limiting funding to English-speaking universities in Montreal
• Limiting immigration in an attempt to make sure that a limited amount of non-French speakers move in
• Forming a committee literally named “The Committee of Sages” in order to determine protections and rights for trans people, which also has no trans people, or any LGBTQ+ people
• Advocating for removal of an anti-Palestinian protest camped out on a university’s grounds

And now for fucking with strike protections. When the one good thing I can think to say is “He didn’t fuck up the COVID response,” that’s a pretty bad track record.

The DLC is a prequel. The history of Krat is told primarily through flashbacks, so it’s possible the DLC adds additional context. That said, the game definitely didn’t feel incomplete. Full story, complete world, and fleshed-out gameplay. If you like soulslikes, you’d probably enjoy this one too.

Why would repeatedly posting electoral misinformation during an election only result in a ban until the election was over? I don’t think these people would become good actors just because the election ended.

Ignoring whether or not AI is able to deliver the same quality as humans, it boils down to that capitalism views human beings as a unit of work. So many of those units of work are necessary to achieve a product. AI is supposed to cost less than humans to produce the same amount of work.

Humans, however, aren’t just a simple measurement of what they can put out. Your worth isn’t tied to your productivity, or the amount of capital you have. Those factors might affect your total worth, but capitalism would have you believe that these are the only metrics that matter. Creative activity has been a staple of humanity throughout history, and it’s now a job where you can produce something that has some semblance of soul attached to it.

So when it comes to replacing artists with AI, there’s the offense that companies are trying to stifle what artists can get work by replacing them with versions that are mimicry, at best. I’ve seen fantastic works of AI art, but every single instance of it used by companies is replacing a creative human job for the sake of saving costs.

But AI doesn’t do a good job at most things. It has a terrible record of answering questions accurately, self-driving technology isn’t yet to the point where it’s been deemed safe, and we don’t have robots at the point where they can replace a human doing something as simple as stocking shelves. But what it can do, really well, is imitate art, whether it’s drawing, or vocal performances, or to an extent physical performances. People are worried about artists because those are the jobs affected right now. But the minute those other jobs are able to be automated away in a cost-effective manner, you’ll see people pissed about that, too.

I volunteer with my party, and we got told last week that our candidate’s campaign would kick off tomorrow, the 13th. Maybe they got wind of something like that.

The only guy I considered was Elliot, but between the girls it was Leah, Abigail, Haley, or maybe Maru. I wound up with Leah, but it felt like the girls in general were a lot more interesting than the guys.

Kate. It’s a movie on Netflix where an assassin is slipped polonium on a job in Tokyo and has a night to track down the ones responsible before she dies. It’s a fun movie.

It kind of felt like the game was trying to tackle language as a barrier to entry in the same way that Tunic did, but ultimately failed to properly teach. The first language is learnable, but most of the others had extremely frustrating attempts to get the last few words. It fortunately tells you when the word is correct in your pocket dictionary, but if you haven’t encountered the item it references yet, you have to assign it what you think it is, rely on it, and figure out what exactly is wrong.

I get that it’s a puzzle game, but there’s supposed to be a moment of “Oh, that’s how it works” euphoria when you finish a puzzle, not a consistent “Seriously? I got it this wrong again?” and an encouragement for random trial and error due to frustration. It’s cool that there’s different languages, based on different existing language structures, but it felt like the execution of unraveling it fell flat.

No, disappearing in a sea of anglophones would be something like making all arms of government communicate in English, making it illegal to access non-English sites the government has after six months, forcing companies to alter signage at their own cost so it’s only in English, declaring non-English speakers and enemy to English-speaking culture, and going out of their way to make non-English documents unavailable unless you want to pay extra for translation services. You know, like Bill 96 is doing for French.

No one cares if Legault prefers French. We care that he wants to strip existing things just to make French the only option.

Got through year 2, and managed to get 4 candles on Grandpa’s evaluation, and last in-game day I managed to fix Willy’s boat and finish up my greenhouse setup. It feels like I’m getting close to putting the farm on autopilot. It is the best feeling to run out of strawberries to plant because you were sure you bought enough last year and your farm just grew too much. Still haven’t reached floor 100 in the Skull Caverns, though.

Good news is that Starfruit are purchased from the store in the desert now, just for standard currency. It’s not cheap, but it’s still incredibly profitable.

You still need to get to level 100 for a quest, but mystery boxes are not locked behind that.

Thanks. Regarding the truffle, right now I’m waiting for the pig to grow up enough to start sniffing, and kicking myself for seeing it once in the Traveling Cart and forgetting to buy it.

Started a new game now that 1.6 is out, and it’s the first real run I’m doing. In year 2, and the only thing keeping me from finishing the community center is one damn truffle. I also should finally be able to move to iridium sprinklers soon, which is great. All that said, I need to figure out how to position scarecrows.

I picked up Monster Train to scratch my Slay the Spire itch, and it’s good, but it still hasn’t quite done for me what STS has. I’ve got (apparently) 400 hours between two different platforms, and no other deck builder has quite measured up. I’d expect you could pick it up for dirt cheap on the 19th, and I’d strongly recommend it.

I got the first game for free and was blown away by how good it was for such a simple premise. I can’t wait for this one, I’ll probably be picking it up day one.

4’33" is intended to be the length of the song, four minutes and thirty-three seconds. But if you read it instead as notation for feet and inches, it’s four feet, thirty-three inches, or six-foot-nine. And 69 happens to be the funny sex number.
