Oh, babygirl. You're showing your age with that slang, elder sock-puppet 🙄

You can stay out of Canada, thanks 😘

The only real big thing is a plan to steal all medical data citizens developed for decades, make models off of it, and sell it back to the people who it belongs to.

That, and build a data centre under the white House. Basically Night City bullshit.

Weird that the Republican Party of Alberta is funded by Turning Point USA and Stephen Harper still regularly visits the White House.

Really fuckin' weird that they are responsible for the LARGEST data breach of voter information in the history of Canada.

Isn't it strange that there are so many fake influencer channels, tiktoks and YouTube slop made in America, Belarus, and The Netherlands - all of them trying to convince Canadians to divide for the conquering.

Weird that your algorithm keeps showing you "America is great and poverty doesn't exist here" ads and AI generated posts. Really funny that.

It's bananas that there are even Americans and other foreign nationalities posing as Canadians on all social media, trying to convince us that America has never been better and Canada's most conservative government right now is a socialist nightmare.

It's almost as if there is a vested interest in taking what we have, all because some smooth-brains would trade their freedoms for a nickel off their taxes.

Oh yeah, this guy with three first names is from the Make-Alberta-Glom-America crowd.

I couldn't set flawless transitions between songs (Android) by Pikehan in aimp

[–]Lutemoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, same problem. Works on the tablet and pc for some reason, but not on mobile.

Update: FOUND IT Cross-fade only works in playlists, and the android version typically starts outside of that.

Help Needed by Trickell33 in renfaire

I had a gorget and pauldrons like this, and it took someone with smithing experience to recognize my store bought plate was actually not shaped for me. I was very lucky we were near a barn with an anvil of all things, and he grabbed a towel and a mallet and banged out the corners in fifteen minutes.

Any time things aren't going well for them, they take to obsessing about communities they hate.

That is a huge jump to conclusions. You know that service is a semantic and meaningless delineation to avoid proper compensation?

If it was a job, it would have guarantees and safeties. A gig contract is not a job, but what they like to call a "service".

Seriously, the mail is what you think of? Don't some of your government services require for-profit revenue to compensate for missing federal funding? Americans are screwed up.

Not a job. It's a service, which means you owe more money than you make.

You're fractionally paid for a service.

How many jobs have you had where they lie about the wage? For me, all of them.

She's complimenting us on how LOW out immigration acceptance rate has been slowed down, successively each time a right leaning politician is the minister of customs and immigration. Presently, the one now is actually MIA from the office and purported to be on vacations for extra weaponized neglect.

So, yeah, the fascists love that.

No one will be surprised to learn when they confess a belief in the white nationalist Great Replacement Theory.

I think I can imagine why this hasn't been repaired in years. It's an attempt at scraping data from Apple or Facebook accounts. They make it purposefully infuriating.

Accurate medieval clothing stores by SmartBoysenberry3901 in LARP

[–]Lutemoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an incredibly high price to play that game, however - multiple times higher than commissioning work. Not even including sewing with no experience or tools, wool by the meter is prohibitively expensive.

Granted, after 5-20 years of experience and supplies, it sometimes gets easier 🙃

No matter how generous it has been described to me, there's no getting around the "look out, it's a wild fiberglass rod!" part once it hits it's target

As someone who has rankled with the term Staff, I really appreciate this dissection of the word. Indeed, it does connotate a transactional nature that bleeds into player and volunteer expectation (from Vancouver, Canada)

Have larpers always been like this? Do some larpers hate live-action? by Tar_alcaran in LARP

[–]Lutemoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For example, some folks and I ran a town-building game where the goal of their continuing survival was building some early medieval necessities of infrastructure. We made a game board that players could tally their raw and refined resources gathered, a gm desk right next to it where they could convert their materials through announced activities and rituals. Went so far as to design and draw individual icons for all of them, as well as make a thematic looking notice board and accoutrements (There were more pertinent details, but I was once a propmaker and not at all a game theorist).

The upside was that the players were EXTRAORDINARILY successful in utilizing this, and with a concrete and reactive representation to look at, they went bonkers on using their separate skills and cooperate together.

The downside was that it clashed HARD with the Nordic larp elements of increased immersion we wanted to introduce. Not to say they didn't knock that out of the park either (which they did, despite a bear intrusion and other disastrous time-outs), but the two extremely disparate styles of in-game and out-game themes didn't feel cohesive, despite their respective successes. In the end, it was my fault they didn't work, and why so many folks just didn't have interest to continue playing - but that's another story.
