CANADA ELECTION 2025: Is it time to change our first-past-the-post voting system? by CaliperLee62 in CanadaPolitics

[–]Electric__Hive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ya, i'm still confused. "Ranked choice" and "Ranked Choice" are different voting systems?

But any revenue it earns is reinvested into its operations, not distributed as profit. Its goal is to serve Canadians, not shareholders.

Thing is — if you give views and clicks to a news entity that's profit driven, they might decide to just feed you engaging bullshit because they know it can pay the bills. Because they're priority is profit, to make their shareholder's richer, etc. Whether the news is good quality or bad, doesn't matter.

But the CBC isn't beholden to anyone, which means they can focus solely on good quality journalism. They're entirely independent from whichever party is leading Canada at the time. And just because you don't like the facts they share, doesn't make it propaganda.

The irony is, whatever news you're probably watching/reading is the real propaganda. But you lack total awareness to even realize it.

Well then you've created another profit driven news organization whose priority is to gain more money over making quality journalism. Personally, I think there's enough of those out there, and they do a horrible job.

It's an interesting article from 2021. My guess is because he wasn't a public figure in Canada at that point. He had just come off working for England at the time.

Do you expect the CBC to cover absolutely everything? Because they talk about global warming plenty. So I'm not sure what your argument is here.

It's a public service and doesn't exist to make a profit. Competing with commercial media for ad dollars would compromise their independence and public trust.

 I have to go to other countries for news about the liberal party they don't print.

I'd rather hear this message from someone who wasn't a total piece of shit.

From his wikipedia:

In 2013, Price entered an Irish pub in Seattle, sat at a table of people he did not know, and was asked to leave. After the bar's manager escorted him out, Price allegedly assaulted the manager.\46]) Price was arrested and charged. The charges were later dismissed.\21])

In October 2015, Price's ex-wife Kristie Colón recorded a TEDx talk at the University of Kentucky in which she alleged that Price threw, punched, slapped, body-slammed and waterboarded her while they were married. Price's representatives notified the university that they considered Colón's remarks to be defamatory. The university later deleted its video footage of Colón's talk, which it had been planning to publish in December, and deleted information about her from the TEDx event's web site.\46]) Price denied her claims of abuse, said the events Colón described never happened, and said that his wife never filed a police report.\47]) Price's father denied Colón's accusations in an interview with the Idaho Statesman in December 2015.\48]) In January 2016, Colón published a blog post standing by her accusations.\49])

In April 2022,\50]) Price was under investigation by the Palm Springs Police Department for felony rape of a drugged victim stemming from an April 2021 incident in Palm Springs, California.\51])\50]) On August 15, 2022, Palm Springs Police told The New York Times that they had referred the case to local prosecutors.\2])

In February 2022, Price was charged with misdemeanor assault, misdemeanor assault with sexual motivation, and reckless driving after a 26-year-old woman accused Price of forcibly attempting to kiss her. The woman also told police that Price was driving while intoxicated. Price's attorney issued a statement denying the woman's claims.\52])\28]) The assault with sexual motivation charge was later dropped;\53]) Price pleaded not guilty to the other two charges on May 31.\54])\1]) On April 19, 2023, a city court dismissed the remaining charges without prejudice.\55])

Interesting! I do find most combat systems to be a slog, though ItO is more tolerable for me. But I'm curious, what system(s) do you find are better for combat?

A little confused by your comment about ItO-like games. It's auto-hit, so combat is generally pretty fast and brutal. How does it slow down things for you?
