If only all politicians did this after a felony conviction.

“Just ask her out. Worst she can say is no.”

Her: kill -9

Mulroney and the Progressive Conservatives lead the government from 1984 to 1993. So, yup! Fun fact, Mulroney was also accused of accepting $300,000 from the chairman of Airbus in exchange for awarding Airbus an Air Canada contract for 34 planes before it was privatized.

Post-war South Korea was the same, except with USA and a cartoonishly large bag of money.

They can’t refuse, because of the implication.

For all the people saying Valve should become their own payment processor. PayPal employs 24,000 people. Visa employs 31,000. Mastercard employs 35,000. Valve employs 400. They’re not going to 60x their employee count anytime soon.

the council voted to put the flag back up, alongside China’s, in a bid to stay neutral in the geopolitical dispute.

I don’t think they get it, but their heart is in the right place.

This sucks. Poilievre went around shaking hands with union members and it was a big part of his surge in popularity. He’s absolutely not going to do anything to help them, but union members who voted Liberal might be swayed into voting Conservative. It’s like how people didn’t like Harris’ take on Isreal-Palestine so they voted for Trump. I unfortunately think Poilievre will be replacing Carney soon enough, and for all the wrong reasons.

News stories like this arent helping US tourism, but this lady isn’t a tourist. She lives and works in the US, has a US work visa, and an “I-360” visa. Her work visa was renewed but her other visa was still on hold for some reason. She left the US to visit Canada and was stopped on the way back into the US because her I-360 visa wasn’t valid. Ironically, she works at a maximum security prison.

I know Japanese and Korean have words for “this, close to me”, “that, close to you” and “that, far from both of us”. I’d assume other Asian languages would have the same distinction.

The headline doesn’t seem to match the article.

one of PayPal’s acquiring banks decided to stop processing any Steam transactions, which cut off PayPal on Steam for a number of currencies

As of early July, the currencies that can still use PayPal on Steam include EUR, CAD, GBP, JPY, AUD and USD.

It seems like a bank that processes PayPal payments in minor currencies has stopped processing transactions for Steam because of the content it hosts. Shouldn’t people be mad at this bank, not Steam?

I’m more of a scatman myself

two anti-union companies

Everyone forgets MLK was killed while taking part in a union strike.

Honestly, I think that would suck quite a bit. I would have the intelligence and experience of an adult trapped in the body of an 8 year old and dependent on my parents. I wouldn’t be able to live independently for years. It would also be difficult to speak and act like an 8 year old. I have a university degree and an 8 year old with university level education would probably make me some weird child prodigy. Not only would I be dependent on my parents, but everyone would be pushing for me to be some genius by the time I’m an adult. I’d eventually grow up to be a huge disappointment. So really I’d kind of just be reliving the past!

The only saving grace is that I might be able to make some money off investing in tech companies and crypto before their drastic increase in value. At least I wouldn’t need to work my entire life.

I had to read the article to make sense of it. The “gaming” market in Japan has tripled in size, but the amount of PC gamers has dropped. So essentially, not only do most people buy consoles, a lot of PC gamers have also Switch 2 consoles.

That’s not what it does

Lots of conflicting opinions in this article, but it is written by a Toronto Star columnist.

Carney should take a firm stance with the US:

During the election, Carney won on promises of an “elbows up” defence of Canadian sovereignty.

And if that offends Donald Trump? “So be it.”

However, Canada would immediately fall to US aggression (so dont piss off Trump?):

McQuaig is critical of Carney’s strategy, and is alarmed by the suggestion that he plans to defend the Canadian border against the U.S. military. “We will never win,” she said.

Carney needs to put money into public projects:

Canada’s most urgent problems will not be solved by investing in the military, she said. Solutions to the housing crisis, cost of living, food insecurity, and the erosion of health and long-term care are more likely to be found through increased public investment.

However, pushing through megaprojects is bad:

“I’m concerned about all this fast-tracking of projects if it is going to compromise aspects of our democracy that are important, such as consultation with Indigenous people, giving them a fair voice, and various climate and environmental considerations.” “Preserving our democratic process is more important than any megaproject,” she said.

Carney needs to be more diplomatic:

"The answer is more international diplomacy, more cooperation, more understanding.”

However, Carney should arrest the leader of Isreal:

McQuaig went further and said Canada should assist the International Criminal Court (ICC) in apprehending Benjamin Netanyahu and placing him under arrest.

ultimately from Latin calere “be hot”

The French word for anger is colère so I thought maybe it’s related to calere. It’s apparently from the Latin word cholera, like, the disease. Most romance languages also seem to use cholera as the basis for their version of “anger”.
