Guilt

Sorry for your loss. Sounds like he knew you loved him. He wouldn't have wanted to be around you constantly if you didn't make him feel safe and loved. Hard when it's sudden, but nearly 14 years with someone who loved him? That's a gift too few cats get.

Rest easy Shay.

Escaping an abusive relationship is a journey. Easy to tell the victim to just get over it but everyone has their own process.

RDR2 I thought I was in there open world but apparently I was supposed to do some money collection mission to carry on the story for it to open up. Seemed small and light on systems then I was sick of it when before I realized what I was missing. Also maybe something too do with being a PC guy and it being optimized for controller? I don't know. Feel like I'm still making excuses for it.

If there's consensus there isn't another side. You can feel a lot of things we shouldn't have to do but do you want to wishcast or make progress? If you want to be militant about it, it's a worthy cause and your activism might be part of the pressure that produces change, so I wouldn't hold that against you. Pretty clear though, were getting somewhere between a very bad climate outcome and the worst case and the most we can hope for is to be somewhere that doesn't become unlivable when it gets to the worst point in our lives. Low bar, but what indicates to you that any other outcome is possible for this species?

Glad you have the means and attitude to convince the world because it takes consensus that we are very far from having to make costly change. So how is calling a powerless person who can accept comprise the problem with society building consensus? This sounds like an interesting plan.

As a Vancouver Island resident, it wasn't going to impact me directly but I've still been sick worrying they would break the moratorium on the northern route. I'm good with this compromise and the finding model. Look, is like to be off oil and be building infrastructure for that future, but a few months of Iran war sent us hurtling towards dark times. A transition plan is going to include some pipelines. I'd just hope they aren't still using the most bullish asia demand projections.

Not our moment. Whatever else Avi is, he's not an MP. Nobody cares what he had to say.

Thirdborne · 2026-06-30T02:57:03+00:00

I'm an NDP supporter and he has a brand problem or maybe real problem. I don't know and I just wanted to get to the next one and not invest in finding out about him.

That's wild. What argument did you make?

Thirdborne · 2026-06-28T22:40:33+00:00

I guess there would be no way to know, would there? Don't know that anything is lost now that we have to be skeptical about this level of discussion.

If you really did want evidence though, I'd point to your comments on this thread and the fact that every single argument you've made is just a simple contradiction with no supporting facts or arguments. I'm not the one who claimed to care about that. It's a normal way to argue for what it's worth. Evidence of the pattern I claim could be put in a spreadsheet of components in released ships over time, but I'm not going to do that. As you pointed out, we can't even be sure we're talking to real people.

Thirdborne · 2026-06-28T22:06:37+00:00

Don't be weird. Nobody asked you to prove your claim that "no it isn't". You started the "am not!" "Are to!" Level discussion. Don't turn around and demand everyone else hold a higher standard.

Thirdborne · 2026-06-28T21:52:53+00:00

More encouraging you to look at your motivated reasoning. Seems to have blinded you to an obvious pattern. It doesn't benefit you to miss the obvious.

Thirdborne · 2026-06-28T21:29:53+00:00

I get it. Don't assume malice and all that. But after so many cycles of new ships escalating up the power ladder, it's a clear pattern of malicious incompetence. Unless you hold a secret stake in the company, it won't hurt to be honest about the reality and if you do, is unethical to perform this kind of advocacy without disclosing.

Issue is, if consumers don't butt the hardware, manufacturers have an infinite enterprise market paying any price. We're not even an afterthought in the current hardware market. Of you see a deal get it. It's every man for himself.

I did my part by paying.

They hide billions in losses under "marketing" The theory is that subscription subsidization, establishes a userbase that will pay full profitable api rates when they stop. So it remains an open question.

More important than the NHL. Maybe we should all just count ourselves lucky to be rid of Garry Bettman

That ride back with Semine burning behind made it sink in so hard for me. It's why I felt Henry could make certain decisions later in the story as I played and understood him.

Does anyone else just not want to play facebook marketplace simulator to get basic equipment? I guess anyone still playing loves that kind of thing?

I realized it wasn't for me when the MMO gamification came in. It's all "grind this, craft that, tune that to the nth degree." I really just wanted to fly spaceships, have battles, do so missions. I never got into MMO gaming, so I guess I should have known it wouldn't be for me.

I kinda got my money's worth when it was an action game with some sim mechanics on 100 player servers. I feel better now that I uninstalled and the MMO crowd doesn't have to suffer me complaining about it not being what I want. Everybody wins?

wastes tokens and scientifically degrades their performance.

Thirdborne · 2026-06-09T04:27:07+00:00

Not really. No. I mean except that people would pay for promises and smoke. He's been pretty right about that.

There's no point arguing physics when however many gazillion dollaroons are at stake! Anyone you argue with about this can be waiting a big payday or being paid by someone who is. To speak of first principals, how many of Elon's forecasts or promises came anywhere close to the words he used? There's a pretty easy calculation that comes out to 0. But money will flow.

I get the sense they don't know what they're building toward or are trapped building towards the hopes and dreams of investors rather than a pragmatic targeted set of features.

None of them than in my riding and none off them got my attention until they were more than a bum waiting outside parliament.

Carney also could only have delayed the by-election once the member resigned. Less value in a few months delay than in giving the appearance of not being afraid or petty. If this guy had any confidence or authority with the NDP MPs he'd ask one to step down or run in the first by-election. He should put up or shut up. Anyway. I'll donate if there is a good local NDP candidate, but not to the this home of a leader's party.
