So we're basically looking at an examination of the current state of society juxtaposed with the idea of colonisation, but done right, with newcomer integration into current culture, which would eventually become a unique new culture.

Very, very briefly, the protagonist race (KΔh'ΔΊ) can transform into the antagonist race (VhΓ’r'Ζath;) however, a foundational requirement to do so is a turn away from truth and reason and an embrace of propaganda.

Ah, you must be too young to remember the CBC Heritage Moments. Go look them up if you want some Canadian history-they're interesting as hell.
Oh, and the Log Drivers Waltz. Sorry, and you're welcome π

By snivelling little men who are quite happy to burn the world down with their sensation seeking in a desperate bid to feel some kind of dopamine, because when every possible vice-licit or illicit-has been indulged, evil is often all there is left to try, and they do tend to find evil addictive...

I'm at the point now that the bar is set so fucking high I'm actively monitoring the news to figure out how my antagonists should act, because apparently, I am not nearly cold nor cruel enough.

..and I mean, his only motivation for the patent in the first place was just wanting to be remembered as the guy who invented it, and, fair.

How far we've come from the days when Sir Frederick Banting (fuck yeah π¨π¦) sold his patent for insulin for $1.00 because he believed so strongly that no moral person would enrich themselves using another persons health...

...almost like we believe in what we do so much that we're willing to live with little personal wealth so that we can be there to help catch other people when their life sucks the most.
A 30% paycut would kill most of us, but we also can't do anything else because watching suffering is intolerable.

As someone who works for an NGO, I'd have no choice. It's not exactly like people are crawling out of the woodwork to give my program stream their money.
All of us in community health serve the most vulnerable among us, and live and die at the whims of funders...
comment in response to

And yet he still posted it without stopping to consider that while he can afford to walk away from a 30% paycut without blinking, people like him have made it so that most of us would have no choice but to accept the paycut until (if) an alternative position in a higher income bracket came up.

$250m is chump change to you, is it not?
Buy your country back from the broligarchs... and any moral arguments are false equivalencies at this point.

Idk though, I'd assume they'd have some kind of "danger will robinson" alarm that says,'heyo, you're going pretty fast, and that's the ground coming up fast right there.' But what the hell do I know?

There was lake effect snow, which can be really disorienting if you're not used to it-even when driving. I've grown up in it, & can still be disoriented. It can really play with your perception, because the flakes are huge and swirl around a lot. It can play with depth perception.

Passenger not pilot, but I am from the North, and I fly through Pearson at least twice per month.
I believe it was a snow issue

Yeah, but here's the flaw in your argument: the billionaires that care aren't billionaires for long. They actually use their money to do good in the world, and that isn't compatible with hanging onto billions in personal wealth. Whoever this is is a billionaire... for now.
comment in response to

I'm going to hold your hand while I tell you this sis-no billionaire on this earth gives a shit about us. The ones who're really arsed to give a shit aren't billionaires. They could be, but they're not by choice, because they donate so much to orgs that their bank balance never gets into the bns.
comment in response to
post
Again, there is no such thing as a billionaire who doesn't want to destroy us.
Wealth hoarding at its core harms all of us for their own gain. Most of his employees make min wage. Explain to me slowly how that's not causing harm.
He fucked his own employees over during the pandemic.

And you're doing what to help, exactly?
Read the fucking room. We're already using our voices, which are our only currency. You're a 1%er with an ability to make a difference, yet choose not to.
You and your bros start helping, then come at me with a speech like this. Until then, shut the fuck up.

N95s if you can get them, hand hygiene, hand hygiene, hand hygiene, and get your damned vaxxes.
If you can't get ahold of N95s, using x2-3 lvl 3 surgical masks is better than nothing.
Also, Cavi wipes or substitute if you can get them. They're magic.

What's that Google Maps? I'm sorry, it's not me, it's you. I'm just not attracted to you anymore now that you've bent the knee.
I've found someone who knows how to treat me the way I deserve to be treated.

Yep, I know 100% there was no tesla involvement bc:
1. No interesting arm twitches
2. No one drowned anyone else in maple syrup
3. No one is missing
But here's what made it obvious
4. Nothing exploded or caught fire, and I think the musk engineers blow their own shit up as a hobby at this point.

...and yes, I know that this isn't everyone. A whole bunch of a lot of Americans don't support what's happening now.
But this time, let's not spin it to fit inside the "greatest country in the world" narrative that the US is known for.
Guys, you've got some changes to make, but it'll be okay.

Even if y'all sort this lovechild of a dumpster fire and a train wreck out, unless you change your political system foundationally, this will always be a risk of happening again.
And respectfully, we uh, know how history denialism (like yours) can help history repeat itself...

What y'all need are real, actual checks and balances by overhauling your political system from a dichotomous system to a 3 party system. It's how we get shit actually done in Canada. I'm not saying go parliamentary system necessarily, but no dichotomous system in history is still around. Theyre dust

Oh, no no no.
You have it all wrong! That's only for them, not for us. Our ideas are wrecking the country, remember? Something about children in pizza parlors and cabinets and whatever the next whack thing they can come up with is.
They're the ones saving the country. Sheesh.
Just in case, /s

I flew low over that crash landing at Pearson last night. Surreal experience to know that all the lights on one of the runways is a plane crash as you're landing and trusting your pilots skills.
And anyone questioning seatbelts on planes has never been in severe enough turbulence then. That sucks.

I, too, use it for first and second drafts when I write. Helps solidify the vision and save time.

Of course, people need to buy from corporate America, and they've ensured that we need to participate to a degree, but no one needs to buy 100% from them. Get creative, & cut them out of the economy all you can.
Cottage industry: makes sure each of you has more while the billionaires have less.
comment in response to

That is an *excellent* opportunity for y'all to start a series of cottage industries. Which of your neighbours makes jam? Who sews, knits, bakes, cooks? Who fixes minor issues like changes tires on cars?
Instead of buying everything from corporate America, buy all you can from your neighbours.

Really all y'all have to do is raise your farming standards to meet those of Canada and the EU.
Battery farming is waaaaay illegal here. Our eggs are more expensive, but our animal welfare standards are also very strict.

Seconded.
I have both the autism and the ADHD, flavoured with the anxiety, so clearly I'm fixing to snap and do something crazy...
Even though the thing I'm most likely to hit with a bullet is my own foot, and I can't even be trusted to run with scissors as an adult because I'll hurt myself.

That's a really effective, evidence based practice... for my people. The FNMI folks. It's called land-based healing, and its culturally appropriate.
When you do it to Black folks, it's a little thing called ... what was that word again?
Oh yeah, racism.

Ho boy, there's an entire section on that which is wow.
Just let kids lose. It really does build character.
