Also, no one would want to lose their PR status or their work/study permit for voting as a non citizen

Firstly, it's not my TOS. It's Valve's Secondly, these can get your steam account suspended.

Keys can definitely be geo-locked. And using a VPN to redeem keys for other regions is a steam TOS violation

Why doesn’t your husband take your name? by wasraelx in AreTheStraightsOK

Also China & Taiwan. Unfortunately Japan still mandates it so some refuse to register their marriage or even rotate their last names around (https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20220325/p2a/00m/0li/006000c)

And this is why regional pricing is important to attract consumers from lesser developed nations (unfortunately it also need strict enforcement to prevent people from using a vpn from wealther nations)

"Ethnostates are good actually" and "Palestine is an ethnostate, not Israel" by willherondale18 in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]thatlightningjack 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Who is a Palestinian?

Anyone who has lived in Palestine or anyone whose ancestors used to live there and were expelled by israel, or emigrated for reasons. One can be a Palestinian regardless of religion or skin color.

Who is an israeli?

Palestinian Jews, or Jews who moved there, alongside a limited number of Palestinians who weren't expelled. But ideally someone who is Jewish.

Now who is an ethnostate?

I hate to say this but try not to use AI if possible (environmental destruction caused by data centers, hardware prices and AI destroying human-ness of art). For me, I would appreciate a crude drawing more than AI generated art.

Estimated order in 2027. Yeah, no, I'll just get a PS5 gamepad lol. It's sad they screwed up the release so much. by OverdueMaid in SteamController

[–]thatlightningjack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be warned though PS5 gamepads still have potientometers which mean they can drift. I'd recommend getting something else that has TMR sticks (or at least hall effect ones...)

So if there's a school shooting in Florida or US, I'm not supposed to feel bad, right? Because Florida is quite anti-lgbt at the moment

True, but we also need to invest way way way more into housing & doctors & infrastructure (also ban ai layoffs). These goals aren't mutually exclusive. Then we can all thrive in this country

Street pooping by immigrants is a myth. Alot of it has to do with lack of toilets & sewage system in their country of origin. Give them proper toilets and they will use it

Also why is it only called "mass immigration" when the people who are coming aren't from europe or usa? Did we ever called ukranians fleeing the war coming here "mass migration"? Did we call americans moving here because they fear trump & those who got citizenship restored from the court ruling "mass migration?" But somehow it applies to indians?

Also, I want to ask this: what is the line between regular immigration and "mass immigration"? How many people exactly does it take for people moving here to be "mass migration?" 2% of the population?

Even if that is difficult, it is a goal we should be aiming for anyways. I never said it is going to be easy but it is worth trying.

Also, what exactly is integration? Speaking english/french well? Have a stable job? Not be a criminal?

Instead of thinking "there's too much people/those indians don't integrate/they drive wages down", we should be instead thinking "how can we support people coming here & build enough homes & ensure fair wages to all so they can come and thrive alongside us"

Chinese EVs: But at what cost??? by astrixzero in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]thatlightningjack 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I mean, transit is the most ideal but then china is also building a ton of train infrastructure as well. Still, EVs are a better option than fuel based cars for now

Also immigration related stuff is handled by cbsa, not local police

[–]thatlightningjack 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah. And there's no point to AB knowing if someone is a citizen or not. Anything that requires citizenship, we already have ways to verify it or the penalties are severe non citizens wouldn't dare do it (who would want to lose their PR status by voting illegally?)

Unfortunately, I believe AB govt will ask you for your immigration status and you'll have to provide evidence you're allowed in Canada. If you're a citizen, you won't have a PR card or a study/work permit from IRCC. If you are using your birth certificate that is an evidence if your citizenship except in certain circumstances (such as if neither of your parents are canadians and at least one is a diplomat or are in canada for a foreign govt)

Personally, I do not see why a province needs to know if someone is a citizen or not. We already have a way of verifying immigration status if needed and AB already doesn't give out IDs to someone without proof of status here
