Have no clue what it was called but I remember having to read a short story that included a guy who would take the family cat into a locked room and watch porn…

I think it’s probably older than some of the victims.

CEO of Spotify invested in an ai military company.

Are you thinking of the ai summaries wiki added to the articles? That had a big blowout and got removed. This seems to be a third party tool. Not sure it will have the same blowback.

What happens if he says yes? Then you are trapped alone with him. Seems worse lol

Tbh I think that data is incredibly misleading. Every single generation of PlayStation has outsold the Xbox of the same generation(yes even the ps3) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_game_consoles.

Additionally looking at the faq for that site it appears to get its data via page views. What % of console users actually use the browser? Is bet very few. Especially when you consider the ps5 has no built in browser.

Got 248 hours on record. It’s probably my top city builder at this point.

I think you are fundamentally misunderstanding how broken the relationship is if you think just voting in a dem will fix it.

apologies I actually meant to put the archive link in the post but seem to have forgotten.

As to why I would post a pay-walled article is simple; I believe if we want to continue having quality journalism in this country it is something we need to appropriately fund. We can't rely on only the CBC (and not just because PP and the cpc want to destroy it). As far as I can tell this is original reporting from the Star so I do kinda feel it is morally correct to link to them first. (although I do not disagree with archive links for paywall bypass maybe that makes me a hypocrite.. meh)

I feel its also especially important to fund the star right now as it is one of the last Canadian owned mainstream news outlets that isnt distinctly right wing (even if it is slowly drifting to the right imo) and isn't ideologically driven (IE Press Progress, CanadaLand).

Others have given direct context but general context within Canada is that the federal parties and provincial parties are only tangentially related. However I would say historically Ontario has had the provincial parties most closely aligned to their federal counterparts.

Ontario also had a very odd habit of always voting in opposition to the federal party in power. (IE feds are liberal so we go conservative). Ford actually recently called an early election precisely because he was worried that PP would be in power federally which would have drastically harmed his performance if Ontario had its election as planned.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned here but is in the article is how odd it is that he turned down P but met personally not just with our new PM Carney of the liberals, but with Christia Freeland one of the most prominent federal liberals. She is also now the minister in charge of internal trade. Something currently both (if not all) parties are closely aligned on solving.

I don’t think it’s an issue of his image, but of what he can personally benefit from it. He sees a sinking ship, so he’s distancing himself from PP

completely agree. Ford is a populist cut from a different cloth than PP. He realized a lot quicker that Trump style conservative rule isn't going to fly here yet (hopefully never). He's also a lot more open to backing down when he realizes he read the room wrong instead of doubling down.

Ford’s far more slimey than you’re giving him credit. It’s obvious when you consider that he widely advertised the 25% energy surcharge, then backed off of it quietly when the US gave him some compliments and offered him a seat to a talk without a single promise, and he went around claiming he “did something” despite nothing coming out of it, all being paid for by taxpayers.

I will disagree with this however. Between Ford's meeting with Carney and other Feds from when the surcharge was added till now it feels more like he was asked to get onboard with a new tact. I honestly think he was better at being the blowhard but I'm willing to let this cook for a bit and see where it goes.
