"luckily AI is still shitty at writing"

No one who uses AI cares about quality, otherwise they would not engage with slop. Also the career of Writing as a whole is largely devalued as it is, hence why wholesale theft of it is considered fine, even if English grammar confounds it.

Playing Baldur’s Gate 3 and every interaction I’ve had with Halsin so far can be categorized as such:

Me: I have a parasite in my head.
Halsin: Head? 🤤

He's one of the most notorious economists in the world and was elected by millions to lead Canada; I, however, was not, but that doesn't make him immune from criticism, you get that right? There's a moral compass attached to this too.

Not by capitulating to fascists and oil, for one.

My benefit of the doubt that he’s doing this to buy time to separate the Canadian economy is running extremely thin.

NEW: Nearly 100 current and former developers at MindsEye studio Build A Rocket Boy slam Leslie Benzies and the rest of studio leadership for poor management and botched layoffs.

They say crunch was mandated leading up to release only for 250 people to be sacked afterwards.

When I say “Canada loves Vehicular Manslaughter” I’m of course referring to Dropout superstar Vic Michaelis, and not that Scott Moe continues to get elected as the Premier of Saskatchewan, despite the similarities (and record).

Popped in another Canada-bound Game Convention Application earlier today!

Will announce once/if confirmed, but it'll be Vancouver-based once again! Should have all new content to bring with us as well :)

Largely my opinion too, definitely the best place I've ever lived, but yea, the parts that these chuckle fucks have influence on continue to be ass (Housing, public services, Chip Wilson existing, etc)

It's our Mayor and his Bitcoin Billionaire buddies, like the Lululemon guy. Increasingly frustrating to watch them ruin this beautiful city.

$600 is fucking criminal. What a joke.

If Chip wants to make his Mansion a political staging ground and the law is clearly okay with that, I think people should start showing up outside his mansion to profess their political opinions too.

Steffani [Scary Name Here] Cameron 🇨🇦 @snarkysteff.bsky.social · 6d

Chip Wilson is a BILLIONAIRE and has been fined... $600 -- no decimals missing -- for trying to interfere in the Vancouver civic election.

WE ARE NOT SERIOUS PEOPLE. #yvr

THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

Elections BC rules Chip Wilson’s ‘Communist’ signage contravened election laws

Elections BC says billionaire Chip Wilson contravened third-party election advertising rules when he put up signs in front of his Vancouver mansion last year, one of which said the NDP is "Communist."

Not helped by the fact that Twitter pays them based on views and engagement, meaning rage dog shit content is popular and feeds into a cycle of dopamine release for these clowns.

It cannot be stressed enough that the majority of right wingers that engage in culture war nonsense are people who have PsyOp'd themselves into seeing "pattern recognition" everywhere in the same way that biblical numerologists have a heart attack every time they see the number 666 somewhere.
