And they actually wonder why tech literate people shit all over them every chance they get. This is some trash human behavior.
It'd be like if you sprayed fart spray all over your neighbors table at a flea market because they also have a few pokemon cards for sale but they're in better condition than yours.
"Rather than improve myself I'm going to block others from doing better than me" is the corporate worlds motto ATM. Race to the bottom
But think of all the failing business that will be super cheap to aquire! /s
The oblongs, ripping friends, Ren n Stimpy, I r baboon were some of the best. Drawn together was a gem too that came out when i was a teen
I meant na
Icarus is about the only one that gives me the "ah shit storm comin" vibes
In the capitalists west, there are only small grassroots projects doing this. Most volume of that stuff goes straight in padlocked trash when best before is met
I think there stands a case to have discount surge pricing on cheque days for example to ease the burden of poverty framing the "surge" as increased store volume opposed to prices but yea now that I type it out a different term is needed lol
Any kind of surge pricing by for profit companies providing basic needs should be illegal full stop
You're correct. Safe consumption sites are intermediary harm reduction and preventions.
Safe supply sites are policy driven, highly directed efforts that require an exemplary amount of planning and should be intended to be run for as short a time as possible.
They need to be managed by a collective of police/therapists/drs/councilors/volunteers and should be a direct effort to remove the economic power the street drugs hold.
They need to be supported by facilities and programs from small community driven "get clean" initiatives to full blown live in rehab. These things all need to happen with the proper weight and progression needed to both prove to the public the system is working AND give the most amount of choice possible to the victims of drugs.
With housing the way it is, there is going to be a lot of people new on the streets. These people will likely turn to drugs if things don't start looking up to them. There have been studies for decades that say this is statistically the case.
The stigma is that the homeless and druggies are bad people and deserve what they get but the fact is most people in Canada are only a few paycheques from the same situation. Not all homeless are criminals. Not all people who do drugs are bad people. People have been pushed so hard though that even though they know the distinction, they don't really care anymore.
Basically it requires much more thought and planning that any of the leaders in this country are capable of. For that they'd have to learn something instead of larping like most of our politicians like to do. Experts need to make this kinda thing happen but our politicians aren't qualified enough to vet and hire the right ones. We'll experts don't work for free so I guess we're just fucked

For just a solid combat system, hogwarts. Was really surprised. They had some solid people design and build it. Really stood out against the rest of the game which wasn't bad by any stretch just repetitive. There are some serious combat challenges too. Just make sure you play on hard. It really needed one difficulty higher tbh.
