If you don't use the pronouns a user lists in their bio when referring to that user you'll catch a ban. There is a user who has dragon as their pronoun and anyone not using it is being banned.

The time between your purchase and date the game was discounted isn't listed but most refunds need to be claimed within ~~2 months of purchase~~ (Valve's refund policy says within 2 weeks but that they'll review requests outside that time period). So maybe if you buy a game and next month it's on sale you could get the sale price?

Yup, in steam support you can say you have a problem with a game and one of the options is "it is now available for cheaper" and they'll give you the difference if you bought it just before a sale.

Huh, really interesting that I haven't heard of any of the ideas the workers have brought forward to make Canada Post a better service. The elderly check-in service would definitely get a lot of use, and post offices offering financial services or other government/community services as well as mail is also a neat idea. Canada post delivering internet to rural communities is also cool.

I'm disappointed that even CBC isn't running stories about these ideas and instead only quoting the professor of economics from a conservative think tank saying privatization of public services is always good.

They're the Lead Director of Staff Scheduling. They're the Vice President of Meeting Budget Restraints. They're the Chief of Handling Customer Complaints. They're the manager and they got a fancy title instead of a raise.

I got bachelors of science in biology. Couldn't find a job because, unlike what my parents told me, a degree doesn't guarantee you a job. I ended up going back to college to get a professional degree. I didnt like the profession after a few years so I quit. Now I work at a factory where a high school education is considered an asset. Some of my coworkers are high school drop outs. It is the easiest job I've worked and the most money I've ever made in my life thanks to the union.

While my education didn't really help me get a job, it does allow me to think critically about the news which seems to be the biggest benefit.

The people of California voting to keep slavery as a form of criminal punishment.

You're talking about protecting language and culture in a thread about a small town relying on one guy to translate the government's website because the law forbids the use of their native language.

French speakers are the majority in Québec. This is like a law forbidding Mandarin from being used in Canada and saying there are 3x as many Mandarin speakers in the world than English speakers and the law is required or else we'll all be speaking Mandarin one day.

Managing updates, versions, mods, and settings can be done from a launcher instead of the game itself and it's often easier that way. If you wanted to adjust mods in-game you'd need to restart the game for changes to take effect.

Before Steam became the universal launcher, lots of games had their own. Minecraft isn't a Steam game so it comes with its own launcher.
