I disagree with you on the prices. 20 years ago games were $50 - $60 and prices have to keep pace. $80-$90 is worth the price of a good game but as you pointed out we are not getting good games anymore. To me this is the injustice and outrage I have for AAA games. I could see $50 range games with micro transactions that don't affect game play.

TBO I'm glad with the current state of AAA as it's forced me into games I doubt I would have ever played. A few top picks are:

Hollow Knight - easy 10/10

Hades - 10/10,

Helldivers 2 - 9/10

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice - 10/10 and a total mind fuck

Factorio - 9/10

RimWorld - 9/10

Brawhalla - 8/10 If you like technical fighting games

BattleBit Remastered 9/10

All these are amazing non AAA games and can be picked up on Steam for deep discounts.

I'm also getting into Beyond All Reason. A player made, total free RTS. Here are a few videos that are quite fun to watch:

Within the next two years there will be roughly 15 million new jobs across the country that need filled. These are jobs on American soil to be filled by Americans. And, that is AFTER all of the jobs getting the factories up and running.

It took 8 years to build the One World Trade Center. Just saying. A technical factor won't be build quickly. I doubt they could be finished before Trumps term is up. That will be an expensive 4 years for Americans. How will that affect 2028 elections if everyone is hammered with high prices.

And, now we all know why getting rid of all of the illegals was step one, they would have taken every one of those 15 million jobs.

Can't argue that one.

now time to spread the word that America is BACK! By the time the next election comes around we'll have 0% unemployment.

You don't want zero percent unemployment. Trust me.

look at the garbage today on the news about how the market is doing poorly. BS.

That's not BS it's reality. The market took a big hit today. If you had $500 000 in the market for retirement you just lost $20 000. (~ -4%) If you had $0 in the market then I guess you don't give a shit.

I agree a lot on what Trump is doing but on tariffs he is wrong. He is not taking on The Americas or Europe or Asia, he is taking them all on at once. This plan has a big chance of backfiring and there is history to back this. He risks uniting every country he has placed tariffs on against the USA.

I fear that if this strategy blows up it will be the end of the republicans for the next two election cycles.

That's bullshit. Me and the millions of other kids prior to this garbage all lived to tell the tail.

all students should get to see themselves represented in the school community they're in as they're walking up to the school doors

They are represented. They are still flying the Canadian and Provincial flags.

"We can unite around the national flag and also continue to celebrate our diversity. These two ideas are not mutually exclusive. We can be very proud Canadians flying the Canada flag and at the same time show our acceptance and welcome all communities into our schools,"

This statement is confusing. Day is the one who wants 10 flags flown but he shoots his own argument in the foot with the first part of this statement. We can unite around the national flag, drop the BS that we are all a special snowflake and unite as Canadians.

When I was in elementary school I attended a "concept school" where there were "no walls" between the class rooms, no corners anywhere and "every day" was earth day.

Context

So, no walls was exactly that. Picture a large circular room. In this room would be 4 classes of around 25-30 kids each Aged 9-10. My class would be working in one quarter of this room and each of the other three would each have their own section. (There were several of these large rooms for each grade all conceited via the library. There was a gym, and a few classic class rooms where things like music and French would be taught.)

If we were learning math and I was board I could just kinda not pay attention, maybe the next class over was learning about whales that week so I would just pay attention to that instead. Can you see that maybe, just maybe, there might be a problem here?

Maybe my buddy was just "over there" in another section, we had this card game we played with marvel series 4 trading cards. (Kinda a variation on the card game war) we could plan out where we sat and flash the cards at each other and play though out the day. The distractions were endless.

Corners were not a thing. Can't really remember the reasoning behind this but it was a selling point.

Earth day was every day. Climate change (this was back in the 90s) was talked about and worked into the curriculum on a routine bases. April 22nd is the official Earth day and there were calibrations with the works each year.

On my last year at the school we failed our "inspection" and the school lost it's "Earth Flag". This flag was given to schools that meet the criteria set forth by...not sure who... The idea being the school had to reduce, reuse and recycle. You lost points if say a glass bottle was found in the trash or there was litter on the playground, shit like that.

We had a school assemblyafter we lost the flag and our principle cried while addressing the school. LITERIALY, tears...

The school had monthly assemblies where students were give awards for their achievements. Of course everyone had to get an award at some point so they would make shit up like "best chalk board cleaner" or "excelled at taking care of the mascot". Important awards right up there with the kid that's reading at a high school level...

We had a class called Home Base three times a week where we broke up into small classes of 10ish students and met with a councilor for about 30 minutes. All about feelings and positivity and bullying and inclusion.

When I left that school I went to a regular Jr. High. I went from a C-/D student on the brink of being held back to a solid B+/A student.

I can not fully articulate just how fucking stupid this school was...I'm sure I'm blocking out other bullshit that happened.

Let's say fake Chinese eggs are $4 and real American eggs are $5. So people are buying the fake Chinese eggs because they are cheaper.

Now a 25% tariff is enacted bringing the fake Chinese eggs to $5. So people are going to buy real American eggs because well, there real American eggs. Makes sense.

However, just to be clear, there is no longer a $4 egg option. You are playing $5 for eggs.

Good for American egg producers, bad for Chinese egg producers. Bad for someone who wants cheap eggs.

Trumps argument is based on Biden not being aware of the documents that were signed.

If Biden comes forth and says yes he read the pardons and gave the okay to auto-pen (even though he probably didn't read them) then I think Trumps case looses a lot of steam. It would be hard to overturn these with Bides testimony.

Lot of good tips here.

Good quality knifes, cast iron and select pans, MSG.

My two sense is bulk cooking and freezing. We are all busy and prep is important. Lack of prep tens to lead to bad choices and eating pre-made low quality dishes. (IE Frozen pizza)

I tend to cook something like 6 chicken breasts (A bulk size pack) all at once and divide it up into freezer bags. I'll cube it up, season and cook, then freeze. It's great because when I need chicken for something it's ready to go. I'm a big fan of chicken and rice and this works great. Open the freezer, break off some chicken, nuke it and mix it with rice and some veggies and I got a quick meal.

I also do the same thing with ground beef. Brown it with onion and garlic and freezing it. Great for when we need some topping on Friday night nachos.

The Mrs. also make bulk lasagna sauce and linguine sauce which she divides up into portions. She can whip of a lasagna in about an hour and linguine in about 15 min. A real life saver.

Never be afraid to cook large quantities of foods you like and freeze.

Liberal leadership race: Mark Carney elected in landslide to be next prime minister

People not familiar with Canadian politics (and dare I say a lot of Canadians too) could easily read this as though he was elected by the people to represent Canada. Only some 130 000 people voted for him. I feel this headline is blatantly misleading. A better headline would read:

Mark Carney elected by liberal party to replace Justin Trudeau after Trudeau resigns. Carney will be assuming the PM office in the coming days.

It's a little wordy for a headline but does a much better job summarising what has happened.

Funny thing is without tech would she even have a job as a journalist?

I think your right but at least it's progress in removing/reducing the woke mind virus.

If the Dems don't change I think they seriously risk losing again in '28. If that were to happen they would be forced into abandoning woke.

Woke as an ideology would truly be defeated being unable to find political support. Defeated might be too strong a word, there will always be crazies that embrace it but woke ideology will have such a stigma no one will take it seriously for decades. At least until the people forget.

I was in Vegas back in October. The Mrs. and I went to a restaurant and we were served by a robot. We never went back... Also, we had to bus our own table.

Tech is great in the right place. The key is not to let it takeover your life. I use the Subway app and it works great. Sometimes I'm coming in at lunch time and there is a long line. I get to skip it completely and pick up my pre-made sub I ordered 15 minutes ago. I've gotten some dirty looks too because of it. It's the best thing ever.

The tech has it's place you just have to control it.

At first I though this was a video about people in Germany who posted memes....

Time to dust off the old gallows eh? Been a few decades... Guess people forget.
