I’d imagine he will do what Trump often does in debates.
Spew so much BS that you drag your opponent down to your level. It’s hard to debate someone who isn’t even playing by the rules in the first place.

I kind of want a flip phone for the compact size when folded so it will fit more easily into my tiny pockets. But I don’t want a phone with a screen that likely need regular (and expensive) replacements if I want to keep using it long past the 2 year contract window like I do with most phones.
People blaming the current premier for problems that he has little control over so they can elect someone who has no plan or ability to tackle them.
This is potentially going to be an extremely damaging election all because of voters being extremely naive and irresponsible.
It’s politician-speak for “Lie and distract until the heat dies down and then sweep this under the rug and move on”.
Is this company above the law or something?
They’re a megacorp. So yes.
The price was definitely a primary factor, but it wasn’t the only one. The Vision Pro is a bulky thing with a dingleberry on a string and many reviewers noted the uncomfortable headband situation. It, like may headsets, is also a royal pain in the ass to deal with if you wear glasses and/or need really specialized lenses.
But a really big factor was that it’s an Apple product. Word travelled fast about how limited the software is and how you can’t really do much with it. Apple is going to have a hard time selling these things until they crawl out of their own ass and actually let people use their products how they wish to. One of the biggest appeals of AR computing is how it bridges together computing with your imagination, and that doesn’t really work when Apple says “no, you can’t do that because it doesn’t match our company vision”
I lived close enough to my school that I was able to walk every day. Every morning I had to deal with self-centered parents dropping their crotchspawn off at school. I nearly got run over numerous times while crossing the street- a few of which got close enough that their front bumpers touched the backs of my legs as I walked. One parent cut in front of me instead of behind me, and I was able to punch the back of their car as they sped off.
Keep in mind I was a child when this was happening. These were parents that were very nearly running over a child willingly.
Delaying the inevitable. He should have stepped down when he had the chance. His pride is going to give his party a catastrophic election loss.
I made a Fiverr account once for my art services. I deleted it within an hour of creation after reading how much money they would steal from my commissions.
I put some of the blame on retailers as well. Retail stores just don’t want to carry inventory anymore, especially tech-focused ones with many of those just turning into glorified showrooms. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard some version of: “Sorry, we don’t have that in stock but we can bring it in for you.”
We needed a short length of garden hose here for the house so I went to two hardware stores and one garden centre looking for one. Nothing. Not even in their dedicated gardening sections. I had to order it off Amazon. A goddamn garden hose.
Amazon has done a lot of damage for sure but retail is suffering from several self-inflicted wounds too. Home Depot, for example, is a multi-billion dollar corporation and even they have a weaker retail presence now. That’s not Amazon’s fault.
The hardware and bandwidth demands of the first game were why I stopped playing it. I had a machine that could run it (and an even better one now) and internet that could handle it, but it still just wasn’t a smooth experience. I don’t have a cap on my internet data but my speed isn’t particularly high, which meant the 80-150gb per week of data the game consumed was certainly felt.
Many of us don’t have the desire or ability to cough up $50,000+ for a badly made piece of shit that does nothing but violate our privacy and contributes to everything we hate about our cities.
Much to the chagrin of those of us who can see and are bothered by the colour flicker.
A mixture of people voting with their hearts instead of their minds, and people being very ignorant about politics.
The end result is a voting population that will vote based on knee-jerk emotional reactions and are very gullible and lead astray by false promises, lies, and misinformation. Basically: They are extremely easy to manipulate.
A lot of Canadians feel Trudeau is a shit, do-nothing politician and PM and that he has to go, and I frankly agree with them. The problem, though, is that they let their hatred of the PM (and his party) blind them and they end up voting for a party which has no functional solutions to everything they hate Trudeau for. The problems that Trudeau has neglected DO need to be taken care of but the CPC doesn’t have a platform or policies to actually deal with them. Voters don’t care though; they just want Trudeau gone. They just want red party gone.
Two or three years from now when PP is prime minister - his ratings are going to tank and people are going to start hating him. The scandals will start stacking up and media pressure on him and his corrupt ministers will continue to grow, and many who voted for him will be crying that they got betrayed. Maybe some day people will learn to stop voting for con artists but I doubt it’ll be in my lifetime.
Ah, yes. “Balance the budget” - the one thing any politician can say to instantly generate voter favour. It’s like a magic money printing button but for votes.
If you think about it for more than three seconds you realise it doesn’t even mean anything or make any sense. It’s an empty fluff promise that people think will somehow make their lives better.
I dunno, I have had nothing but awful experiences with Shaw for over 10 years even when they were independent. They consistently lied to me and my family, overcharged us, and provided shoddy service which, at times, was barely functional. The layout of my local Shaw office is burned into my mind forever because of how damn often I was in that place.
Google and Microsoft would be scrambling to pay off every single person associated with that before it ever hit the first courtroom floor.
My decision to stop playing online games a few years ago continues to prove that it was a good choice. The games industry in general is going to shit but online games in particular are in race to the bottom of greed, malice, and contempt.
Lost in the sauce.
Driving dangerously fast and endangering the lives of other drivers and then flees from the cops and is still allowed to drive after a month?
There is something seriously wrong here.
