  • Trump Team’s Secret Meetings With Group Plotting to Break Up Canada Exposed

  • Why are you mad at me? Lol. I was pointing out that it's not as bad as the riding count makes it look. I am not your enemy guy.

    You can be a douchebag and advocate to kick Alberta out, sure. I'm not that big of a defeatist though. We had an NDP gov a few years ago, and support for the UCP is getting flaky. There are a lot of progressive grassroots movements that are going through the province.

  • 92% of ridings != 92% of Albertan Voters. The UCP only got 52.6% of the vote.

    ETA: Land doesn't vote. Maps can be misleading.

  • Yeah, they all talk a big game about independence, but it's all hogwash.

  • We overlook it a lot too. Like, the Governor General is appointed by the reigning monarch, and has final say on laws and such, but it's mostly a ceremonial role. I don't think we've ever had royal assent refused? I am no political scholar tho.

  • Ok, I live in Alberta, Canada. I grew up in the woods of Northern Alberta. We can get week long bouts of -40°C/F and I have NEVER seen or heard of exploding trees in the area. Are American trees just weak, or is this fake?

  • A Steam dev is deleting his own game after girlfriend made him realize AI is bad

  • I went to a rural Canadian school, thank you very much! Please don't run away tho, you went through all the work to set up your lil' soapbox and everything. Let's chat.

    Here's why your earlier comment is (in my humble opinion) very silly. You used a bad comparison. And I'm not just talking about the bringing up Hitler bit.

    Learning how to shit next to the toilet is stupid.

    First off, nobody needs to learn that. That's an inherited skill. Secondly, it's bad in the context of the post. Learning how using AI is wrong is an objectively positive thing, but your example is someone learning negative things. It's bass ackwards, as the kids used to say ('twas me).

    What would you prefer the dev do? You can't change the past, so what actions should he have taken to align with your obviously superior moral code? Self flagellation? Volunteer for a drawing-and-quartering position?

    You can keep up your current act if you want. Attack anyone and everyone who even tries to better themselves. Pat yourself on the back while you're at it, but I don't jive with the punishment-only model of reformation. If this guy realized he was doing something wrong and changed his ways then I think that's a good thing. Learning should be encouraged, not punished.

    P.S. immediately bringing up Hitler as a comparison is silly, and makes you look silly. Try to not do that, and also try to use comparisons more grounded in reality.

    Edit: I may have initially misunderstood this bit

    He should have developed the AI parts.

    I took that to mean before he released, but maybe you meant after he learned. That makes a bit more sense. If that is the case, I will address.

    Apparently the AI bits were art assets. That's kinda hard to learn in a hurry, and art is expensive. Mayhaps he could have got by with free assets, but then there's always the chance to get accused of asset flipping.

    Also learning anything takes time. Either way, pulling it was probably the quicker and better option.

    Edit 2: Electric Boogaloo - Fixed a typo. I'm bad at phone typing, and I feel bad 😞

  • Let me preface with the fact that I know nothing about Git or GitHub. Could you just have one "project" and have the readme be links to your Codeberg/Forgejo/GitTea projects?

  • The Case for Sticking Around

    Jump

  • As an Albertan, I would say that there are some people in Alberta that want to be completely independent, some that want to be part of the US, and the majority thinks those people are crazy. Also Diagolon is kicking around, but they're incredibly fringe and weird.

    I can't speak for Quebec, but I personally haven't heard much about their separatist movement for a good while.

  • Markdown formatted that as a bullet point. You can avoid that by putting a backslash in front of the asterisk.

  • I didn't think I had to be that explicit with the details. No. I was not intending to imply that. Honestly the topic of the comic is gross and I was trying not to acknowledge it too much. I was mostly just talking about the past/future bodily consent issue in general. Sorry I wasn't more clear.

    Edit: I had a different reply earlier where I was jerkish. Sorry. I shouldn't comment whilst grouchy and sleepy. I re-read my earlier comment and, yeah, I can see how that came off that way.

  • I'm not talking about just sex here. There's plenty of legally binding stuff you can't withdraw from one you've agreed to them.

    Well you should have been more clear on that. I also could have been more clear that I was talking about body autonomy (like the situation in the comic) and not legally binding contracts.

  • Past me can give consent for themselves, yeah. If I ever change my mind then so too does the status of the consent.

    So, if the present version of the person in the comic gave consent, but the past version did not, then consent would not be given. Time travel or no, it is up to the individual.

    (Edit: I was talking about broad consent here without taking into context the subject matter of the comic. I was trying to avoid that subject matter because it is gross, and hoisted myself by my own petard in the process. To be clear - The past version is under age and therefore cannot give consent in the depicted scenario.)

    I don't agree that they are the same person. Even though they're two instances of one being. They're two physically separate bits of mass with different opinions on the situation.

  • Pretty simple answer here: No.

    Consent is based on the individual. Identical twins can't give consent for each other, despite being genetically identical.
