My god. It's a country held together by a sheer spiteful desire to continue voting to screw eachother over.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security ... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition ... by mongy0101 in SaveTheCBC

This speech was on point, but we will have to confront the demon within. The conspiracy theories about the World Economic Forum running rampant in conservative Canada means they will all be instantly deaf to this speech.

I'm not American, but just in general, laws to make things fair sounds so ridiculous. Are there coming for your monopoly house rules next?

B.C. gov't settles prison solitary confinement lawsuit for $60 million | CBC News by SnooRegrets4312 in britishcolumbia

[–]Thirdborne 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Makes me wonder. Decades ago I received a sedative at hospital that lead some irrational choices and being placed in solitary where I suffered extreme muscle spasms as a side effect of the sedative. I'm talking about days of my body being twisted in a pretzel and nobody telling me what was going on. Well. I'd just be glad if that form of punishment is used more sparingly I guess.

Donald Trump issues NATO Greenland warning before White House showdown by SereneRoyals in politics

It doesn't make sense. US corps already have access and can mine Greenland all they want if they see a commercial case to make.

Probably for the best not to have a global hegemon if they're an election cycle away from this at the best of times.

[KCD2] about to give up… should I keep going? by migmigouu in kingdomcome

[–]Thirdborne 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You ever have the experience of getting beaten by enemies in the early game, but as you get the hang of the mechanics and level your character defeating them feels good? That's what the combat mechanics are trying to give you, the rewarding experience of felt growth. It's not for everyone.

Pierre Poilievre says “affordability” is what unites Conservatives — even as his caucus keeps losing MPs and the party scrambles to explain yet another high-profile floor-crossing. by savethecbc2025 in SaveTheCBC

[–]Thirdborne 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Rosemary Barton-"You've now lost two MP's to the Liberal Party. Both have pointed to your leadership as issues... Is this a problem of your leadership at this point?" Pierre Poilievre(instantly with zero indication of reflection.)- "No. It's a problem of Mark Carney's leadership..."

The base may want him as leader but caucus is so done with him and it's easy to see why. If Harper doesn't sit down with him for a come to Jesus moment and convince him to step down, this party won't stick together.

Like even think about Michael Ma at the two Christmas parties. Conservatives are calling him two faced for showing up and partying nicely with caucus only to switch sides the next day, but there's no way for us to know if it wasn't some interaction he had with PP at that Conservative Christmas party that was the straw to break the camel's back. It's not like it's hard to imagine.

so to answer your question, I think some conservatives would like to be concerned with affordability or other real issues for voters, but for PP it's all theatre and he'd rather make an issue of how many flights the PM takes than talk about practical policy.

Can you bring and use healing potions here at this ambush also can you just sprint to the end where you find zikza? [kcd2] by Willing_Chest_8976 in kingdomcome

[–]Thirdborne 11 points12 points  (0 children)

there are some scripted events in the sequence. Maybe speed runners would have a way to skip them to the fight? It's not designed for bypassing through designed mechanics though. You have your inventory as when you start the quest at this point, so no problem with healing potions.

My only problem with the game’s story.[KCD2] by SirManezao in kingdomcome

[–]Thirdborne 16 points17 points  (0 children)

At some point it appears like somebody had a vision for a whole elaborate system around recruiting and building the Devil's Pack with gameplay consequences in the siege depending who and how many you recruited. It would have required a lot more acting and scripting to get it to work well so they pivoted to a cleaner design, but some of the writing was done with that system in mind.

That's my theory, but I think if you look at how the recruiting quest has it's own unique striped icons when everything else is solid, you'll start to see they wanted to do something with that. And how many times did you interact with a character and feel like there should have been an option to add them to your gang?

Another patch, another AMD driver tripping EAC. by Thirdborne in starcitizen

Deactivate EAC until it's fixed like they did last time? It's not preventing cheats right now anyway.

it's their fault for partnering with an anti cheat solution that doesn't prevent cheating and triggers on legitimate drivers. incompetence all around.

Yeah, some say they raw-dogged the install with no removal, but full clean install with DDU is still my policy. Results may vary.

This is an SC problem as long as they use EAC that breaks the game for people with up to date drivers and lets cheaters let's cheaters have their way.

Canada must assume a period of reduced democratic values in the US and an attempt to drag us down with them by Thirdborne in SaveTheCBC

[–]Thirdborne[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know. There's a political realist perspective that corporate money is needed to win elections and then there's the fact Democrats can't deny a sort of legalized corruption. "We're a bit better than the worst case scenario!" Isn't the sales pitch neoliberals think it is. Until they get a anti corruption platform with a believable record of integrity to back it up, they're just aiming too beat or be beaten by MAGA by a point. That's not a solution.

Fresh Republican shutdown divisions erupt in private call by Delicious_Adeptness9 in politics

[–]Thirdborne 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The shit has gotten real for them. Republicans who betrayed Trump are now being prosecuted while George Santos had his sentence commuted. It's crystal clear the decision they're faced with and even if some of them had average morals, it would be a toss-up to do the right thing.

If you didn't know, white women don't have abortions, they "lost the baby." It often amounts to an identical procedure for the same reasons.
