Wait, are there cars with lights/wipers on a touch screen?
Ah yeah, that’s not as nice as I was picturing then. I still can’t help but side with the guy at least a bit though… it’s just something about the predatory nature of lotteries. In fact it’s almost more offensive that it’s run by a government haha.
Normally I’d agree with you on the basis of reason alone, but I think lottery companies can stand being gouged once in a while.
Edit: shows how little I know about lotteries haha
Both can be true though. I don’t support things like Uber and Lyft but only because of how horribly they treat their employees. I don’t have much sympathy for the taxi industry that never bothered to modernized over the last 50 years.
I also hate SAGAs, and I also have to RMB trying to FIT. Agreed it’s RBA!
Definitely aim for recreational, but it’s still important to expand its medical purposes so that it can be protected for those who need it. What I mean by protected is that its use would be allowed for patients in situations that recreational use would still be prohibited, that it can be claimed as a medical expense on taxes, or subsidized for low income people.
Edit: Sorry, not to imply that you’re against the medical part happening too!
I’m Canadian so I’m really asking this genuinely, but which liberties are being crushed in NY that aren’t in other states?
Translation: “I have money so you can go die, you stupid poor”
Exactly, they gave it to them and said “do whatever you want with it” then just checked what they did later.
I hear it goes great with leaded water.
in their right mind
I imagine that’s part of it
I’ve always supported this approach too but I have to wonder… is there a point where it gets taxed so high that people will just go back to the black market? What would prevent anyone from going black (heh) if it’s cheaper than the legal option?
Seriously, we need to return to pre-internet console mentality. You put out an N64 game, it better be goddamn finished. Companies rely way too much on “ehh can just patch it”.
Well I Iive in Canada but point taken. I’m still not sure I agree that it’s on the voter to let the worse party win just to support a burgeoning better one. I’d say the responsibility is on that better party to secure their base and show a reasonable chance to win before asking voters to risk the worse party winning.
Voting for any person means you approve of their actions and you are complicit and responsible for them.
I don’t think it means that necessarily. It’s just as valid to vote strategically against an even worse party if they have a chance of winning. It’s not morally contentious to vote for the lesser of two evils.
But that wouldn’t be accurate because there are South American countries with even cheaper electricity than here, so it’s only the cheapest in North America.
Also not to be too pedantic but central America isn’t technically a continent, and it all falls under North America anyways.
Hell yeah, we’ve got a heat pump and we’re in Canada where it can get to -40°C (which is coincidentally also -40°F) and that thing works like a beast. Fortunately we also have the cheapest electricity in North America so the decision was easy.
The first result on google for ‘Australia gun ownership rates’:
-Australian civilians now own more than 3.5 million registered firearms, an average of four for each licensed gun owner.
-The proportion of Australians who hold a gun licence has fallen by 48 percent since 1997.
-The proportion of Australian households with a firearm has fallen by 75 percent in recent decades.
-Data indicates that people who already own guns have bought more rather than an increase in new gun owners.
And I don’t know much about their mass shooting history, but here’s an article explaining that homicides and suicides sharply declined after the ban:
https://www.vox.com/2015/8/27/9212725/australia-buyback
What they found is a decline in both suicide and homicide rates after the NFA. The average firearm suicide rate in Australia in the seven years after the bill declined by 57 percent compared with the seven years prior. The average firearm homicide rate went down by about 42 percent.
Ehh I dunno… I’m as atheist as anyone with an IQ above 60, but I think religion is just a convenient scapegoat for mental illness here. I’m pretty sure someone who shoots strangers on the highway would have done it in a world without religion too, and they would say it’s a different mystical force that made them do it. I don’t think Christianity actually moved this person to do this.
