For my (Canadian) city:

Total expenses are $207.6 million

Police, Fire Rescue, and Ambulance are listed together at $35.7 million, or 17% of expenses.

The biggest expense is Social Housing and Welfare at $72.5 million or 35% of expenses.

Recently I was made aware that AI of 'me' falsely endorsing Donald Trump's presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter.

She also said the only reason she isn't being politically neutral like she typically does is because Trump posted AI pictures of her claiming she supports right-wing policies. She's now encouraging her massive fan base of young women to vote, a group that probably would have been apathetic beforehand. That's another massive unforced error for the Trump campaign.

A gacha game asking money for something useless? That's the entire model!

Players that buy stuff in these games usually see it as a donation to devs making a good game. If nobody bought any of the useless stuff the game would shutdown. That's how I treat the $10 a month I spend on Reverse 1999. Or they're a gambling addict and can't stop themselves from spinning the wheel.

How did they manage to center the text???

That would be very sad considering there are currently petitions for accessible abortions, banning gay conversion therapy, and taxing the ultra wealthy.

This is why they're known as wedge issues because there's no compromise.

The executable is named FactoryGameSteam.exe on my system but launches fine from Steam.

There's a reason why stand-up comedians film their specials in front of an audience and don't film themselves telling jokes in an empty room. The latter wouldn't be seen as funny even if the jokes were the same.

I was a funeral director. I got to know all the religious leaders in my town.

I knew another priest who loved making "wife bad" boomer jokes at funerals whenever a surviving spouse died. Lots of "Her husband has been enjoying paradise in heaven...and now his wife is there..." and "st. Peter gives a test to enter heaven, you need to spell 'love'. St. Peter wants a break and gives this task to a man who sees his wife coming to the pearly gates. He tells his wife that she must spell a word before entering heaven. His wife asks what the word is. The man says 'onamonapia'"

Those definitely got some uncomfortable laughs

I knew a priest who liked to say he only smoked after sex.
