2018-08-31 20:07:14 UTC

I can't believe the *Canadian Milk Mafia* is the sticking point for a free trade agreement.

2018-08-31 20:15:11 UTC

Well, I guess it's better than Trudeau making it into the Social Justice Trade Treaty as they were talking about doing when the idea of NAFTA talks started getting discussed.

2018-08-31 20:54:43 UTC

Mate calm down, your yelling into the sky at this point.

2018-08-31 21:42:10 UTC

@pratel what do you mean by Social Justice Trade Treaty? I wasn't aware of this

2018-08-31 21:43:10 UTC

First hit I found. There's probably better articles and I barely read it.

http://fortune.com/2017/09/26/justin-trudeau-nafta-more-feminist/

2018-08-31 21:43:25 UTC

It wasn't just feminism IIRC.

2018-08-31 21:43:33 UTC

But you can get the idea pretty quick.

2018-08-31 21:43:48 UTC

Lmao just from the title

2018-08-31 21:43:57 UTC

Thanks, I'll give it a read

2018-08-31 21:47:37 UTC

oh boy

2018-08-31 21:47:41 UTC

canada out of nafta lol

2018-08-31 21:48:07 UTC

Well... hey Mexico, weโ€™re moving the wall north

2018-08-31 21:48:35 UTC

they want to raise the indigenous ppl rights

2018-08-31 21:48:36 UTC

lmao

2018-08-31 21:48:39 UTC

hypocrites

2018-08-31 21:48:54 UTC

they treat theirs worse than muslims their slaves in libia

2018-08-31 21:49:09 UTC

well thats a bit awfull

2018-08-31 21:49:10 UTC

sorry

2018-08-31 21:49:14 UTC

they just dont exist for them

2018-08-31 21:49:39 UTC

A wall on the southern border of Canada will help keep all the illegals out. The ones from nearby nations such as Eritrea and Somalia

2018-08-31 21:50:14 UTC

โ€œGender is a fundamental part of economicsโ€- you wot m8?

2018-08-31 21:51:00 UTC

well thats tform 2017

2018-08-31 21:51:21 UTC

True. Has he changed? Last I heard he released a "feminist budget"

2018-08-31 21:56:41 UTC

He called someone a racist for asking a question about the budget

2018-08-31 21:56:54 UTC

So...yes but for the worse?

2018-08-31 21:57:52 UTC

Point made.

2018-08-31 21:59:44 UTC

Clarification: he called a CITIZEN racist...you know, the types of people he's supposed to serve

2018-08-31 22:00:03 UTC

This wasn't at a parliamentary meeting or anything. It was at some sad rally

2018-08-31 22:00:33 UTC

Yup, that's it

2018-08-31 22:00:47 UTC

I'm going through the referred links now (which are reputable sources like CBC)

2018-08-31 22:01:03 UTC

WWWOOOOOWWWWW. He even went the hate speech route.

2018-08-31 22:01:14 UTC

They really are trying to make the world into a big college campus.

2018-08-31 22:01:33 UTC

Strict hierarchy and all.

2018-08-31 22:01:43 UTC

There are laws that restrict speech in Canada

2018-08-31 22:01:51 UTC

To an unnecessary degree

2018-08-31 22:01:55 UTC

He can't be that dumb because he was elected PM. That leads me to believe that he may be malevolent

2018-08-31 22:02:06 UTC

He can be that dumb.

2018-08-31 22:02:07 UTC

Report yourself to the Human Rights Tribunal at once citizen!

2018-08-31 22:02:11 UTC

Both of you!

2018-08-31 22:02:31 UTC

We shall educate you appropriately

2018-08-31 22:03:13 UTC

Prime Ministers don't have to win the vote of the entire country like in the US. He just has to win one riding.

2018-08-31 22:03:28 UTC

So it's quite easy for Canadians to have abject drooling morons as PM.

2018-08-31 22:04:06 UTC

Here's an interesting twist. The woman was part of a group called "Storm Alliance" Does anyone know what that is?

2018-08-31 22:04:15 UTC

Lmao, pretty weak

2018-08-31 22:04:17 UTC

It sounds kinda ominous at the very least.

2018-08-31 22:04:22 UTC

The party has to choose him as leader, but with that pretty face and the last name Trudeau he could be legally retarded and still be elected leader.

2018-08-31 22:36:14 UTC

Feds picked them up.

2018-08-31 22:40:28 UTC

good.

2018-08-31 22:49:08 UTC

great!

2018-08-31 22:49:21 UTC

Is the Death Penalty on the Table?

2018-08-31 22:50:07 UTC

Only for murder.

2018-08-31 22:50:23 UTC

Last one fed put to death was Oklahoma City Bomber

2018-08-31 22:51:38 UTC

i think styx said they had other charges pending

2018-08-31 23:01:55 UTC

You know, I always wondered what Timothy McTheigh's reaction would have been if he learned about 9/11

2018-08-31 23:03:11 UTC

Shrug

2018-08-31 23:03:27 UTC

I know the Unabomber was livid when he heard about the Oklahoma City Bombing.

2018-08-31 23:05:53 UTC

Because he went from looking like the scariest bomber at the time to someone who was just sending some real bad hate mail.

2018-08-31 23:08:30 UTC

Yeah.

2018-08-31 23:21:16 UTC

Can't be calling Nazi scum now can we?

2018-08-31 23:21:48 UTC

You see, leftists. When you remove context, you end up defending actually nazis rather than make fun of them

2018-08-31 23:21:59 UTC

You also make people forget why they we're bad.

2018-08-31 23:23:03 UTC

wow read that article, I can't believe PCGamer wrote the full fourteen words in their article, fucking nazis!!!! <:VeRiFiEd:463064374236413962>

2018-08-31 23:24:35 UTC

Too bad the dev bent the knee. Because the initial response was right on.

2018-08-31 23:24:51 UTC

leftists suck the fun out of everything

2018-08-31 23:25:16 UTC

Devolver probably went to Croteam and threatened to not publish the game

2018-08-31 23:25:32 UTC

or said "this is going to be a disaster you have to remove it"

2018-08-31 23:25:43 UTC

indirect threat

2018-08-31 23:26:28 UTC

"If you are offended by some textures in the game, please don't play the game," Croteam Incubator marketing and community manager Zenoslaf wrote in a thread-locking message on Steam. "Because if we start removing things that hurt someone's feelings, it will be an empty game, with no people, no weapons, no blood, no humor, no [expletive] pooping, killing others, eating human flesh, killing animals." < is the proper response

2018-08-31 23:26:36 UTC

croteam is awesome

2018-08-31 23:26:49 UTC

defending nazis by implying they should not be in prison, is not.

2018-08-31 23:28:42 UTC

Isn't Devolver usually a pretty edgy company?

2018-08-31 23:30:48 UTC

Memey more than edgy

2018-09-01 00:06:59 UTC

The game is literally called scum. It's about prisoners. It's literally calling the types of people with those tattoos the scum of society.

2018-09-01 05:37:43 UTC

oh fucking hell

2018-09-01 05:37:58 UTC

god trudeau is like

2018-09-01 05:38:16 UTC

one of those teachers that tries to pretend they're all hip into to millenial trends

2018-09-01 05:38:47 UTC

and try to relate to their students but just end up sounding cringy and like they have no idea what they're talking about

2018-09-01 05:38:54 UTC

its like that but with politics

2018-09-01 05:40:35 UTC

Maybe Tim should have asked if 1 guilt antifa member was free instead of 10 innocent antifa were imprisoned....

2018-09-01 07:10:39 UTC

@Shibe So Trudeau was actually a drama teacher.

Mostly he's just social justice personified. And in charge of an entire country.

He's coming to an end though.. He went to India and irritated all the social justice types that was his base by flagellating himself the wrong way.

The non-social justice types were fed up awhile ago. Add to that the new Illegal immigrant crisis (unique, as Canada is geographically in a place where it would really struggle to get low-skill illegal immigrants just border hopping--and perhaps a first). I predict Canada elects a version of Trump in 2019.

2018-09-01 07:11:05 UTC

yeah im sure of it

2018-09-01 08:34:47 UTC

with the croteam/'scum' survival game and 14 88 thing, i agree with the developers response has merit, but i think its okay to draw the line with more modern and prevalent symbology used, so for same reason i wouldn't put MS-13, i'd rather they be creative and elude to gang signs or similar then simply re-use actual existing and very relevant signs, symbols etc involved in modern criminal culture.

That said i fully support symbols still used in historical games with historical game context, there isn't a reason a swaztica, slogans about joseph stalin etc should be a problem in a wwii game (of note, the Russians play double standard on this with their MMORPG/F2P games alot, ofc not surprising)

2018-09-01 08:38:31 UTC

>game is called wolfenstein, has Nazis everywhere, palling it up with KKK in an america they took over, including in oddly humanizing joke scenarios. Makes the resistance look like dipshits. Makes Hitler look like a sad old man
>nobody cares
>game is called scum, is about shitty people doing shitty things
>DONT PUT NAZIS IN THERE OMG
I don't understand

2018-09-01 08:39:17 UTC

i mean i guess all the games are fictional settings, and so none of it should be taken seriously... i could buy that point to

2018-09-01 08:39:46 UTC

im loosy goose half and half about it tbh

2018-09-01 08:39:49 UTC

It's not even that

2018-09-01 08:39:56 UTC

Everyone in the game is a scumbag convict

2018-09-01 08:40:00 UTC

That's the whole point

2018-09-01 08:40:28 UTC

You are straight up protecting Nazis/Neo Nazis from being included in the scumbag convict game

2018-09-01 08:40:43 UTC

Because Nazi convicts are offensive somehow

2018-09-01 08:40:49 UTC

fair

2018-09-01 08:41:33 UTC

I guess we'd better burn American History X. Can't have shitty people shown to be shitty in a movie about shitty people

2018-09-01 08:41:44 UTC

i just see the whole thing as usually people avatar-fagging as whatever they like best, even if they don't really like any of them, desensitizing people to it. which is why in this regard i feel not specifically with white gangs, but pretty much all gangs it would be more sensible if such games avoided currently relevant gangs

2018-09-01 08:42:14 UTC

i probably sound like a grandma rn tbhq ngl

2018-09-01 08:42:33 UTC

>GR is about SA drug cartels
>CoD milked the ongoing war in the middle east

2018-09-01 08:42:53 UTC

Nobody cared until it was Notzees

2018-09-01 08:43:00 UTC

It's knee jerk as shit

2018-09-01 08:43:02 UTC

again, fair

2018-09-01 08:43:40 UTC

Like for every qualifier you place on this I can probably name 2+ games that have it and nobody gave two shits

2018-09-01 08:43:45 UTC

Or movies, or comics

2018-09-01 08:43:59 UTC

you are confirming the president which i am ignorant to

2018-09-01 08:44:12 UTC

which is good, i wasn't so aware

2018-09-01 08:44:23 UTC

Honestly I cant believe SJWs gave up the chance to beat up Nazi players in a video game

2018-09-01 08:44:33 UTC

definitely a way to view it lol

2018-09-01 08:46:50 UTC

It's just more alarmism though. The west has barely any real issues inherent to it. If you don't live in fuckin tornado alley or forest fire land and nobody is fracking near your water supply you're probably solid, and all of your problems are directly generated by other people

2018-09-01 08:47:56 UTC

So now a goofy ass symbol modified by some German vegetarian artist for his historical fanfiction sends people into conniptions

2018-09-01 08:48:27 UTC

Meanwhile the people who fought and died to stop is moronic plan for Europe didn't give two shits

2018-09-01 08:48:56 UTC

When he was routinely and ritually mocked in the west while still being a current issue

2018-09-01 08:50:02 UTC

We are so devoid of issues that people are now looking for unconscious ticks to refer to as racist

2018-09-01 08:50:22 UTC

We are steadily reaching Utopia Experiment tier

2018-09-01 09:18:44 UTC

more of this

โ€œโ€˜White People foodโ€™ is creating an unattainable Picture of healthโ€ by Kristen Alken on HuffPost

This anti white article declares a number of popular health foods as โ€œ white people foodโ€ and frames it as an act of oppression. Claiming that โ€œ ... white culture has taken the power to define all things good as whiteโ€.

2018-09-01 16:33:28 UTC

@pratel I don't see any Trump-like figure on the federal political Canadian landscape at the moment. The closest thing may be Max Bernier and he recently left the main opposition party to start his own party. My guess is that Trudeau gets a minority government in 2019. I'd say the Liberal Party lost Quebec with that "budget is racism" error which is nuts considering that's where his family is from. I'd be ecstatic if the Liberal Party gets blown out in 2019 but I don't see that happening. I could be full of shit though lol who knows

โ€œ AP exclusive: Franklin funeral bishop apologizes to Grandeโ€ by Josh Replogle on AP Associated Press

Media makes a big deal that a preacher hugged a woman and made a joke. Meanwhile Nation of Islamโ€™s Louis Farrakhan was in attendance and they donโ€™t care. This is a man that advocates for the killing of whites and Jews. Really makes you wonder about the mediaโ€™s focus.

"'Texas law long has given survey access and use of eminent domain to railroads, pipelines, electrical lines and other industries that provide for a public good and a strong economy," the company said

2018-09-01 17:35:06 UTC

You don't have private property.

2018-09-01 18:06:34 UTC

I'm not sure what method they plan to use for land acquisition really... But we have what are called 'easements'. I've got land that was abandoned by the railroad behind my own house that has defaulted to adjacent land as their property.

2018-09-01 18:06:42 UTC

We own the land, but we have to allow for the pipeline right of way.

2018-09-01 18:07:12 UTC

However, if they want to go and do any serious work on a pipeline, they have to contact us first and can't just start digging up.

2018-09-01 18:07:15 UTC

It's... interesting.

2018-09-01 18:11:25 UTC

lol recently there was a pipeline project proposed in proper with people in power of putting proper procedure in place. the pipeline purveyors payed people for property and were prohibited post-purchase, proving perilous to their project.

2018-09-01 18:12:03 UTC

(I got like three P words in a row and decided to run with it... still a true story.)

2018-09-01 18:15:24 UTC

(My movie would be called "P for Pretentious")

2018-09-01 18:38:42 UTC

did you guys buy the property after or before the pipeline?

2018-09-01 18:39:12 UTC

Easements is similar to a lot of radio towers

2018-09-01 18:39:52 UTC

but this is basically forcing you into a easement arrangement. But for railroads, i don't think they can do easements.

2018-09-01 18:40:10 UTC

because its too much of a risk. pipelines are mostly enclosed if they are not underground

2018-09-01 18:40:17 UTC

railroads are like highways

2018-09-01 18:40:41 UTC

imagine someone having the right to just walk or anything all over a section of highway

2018-09-01 18:40:53 UTC

the risk to all involved would be crazy

2018-09-01 18:41:15 UTC

and either way, they can just force it.

2018-09-01 18:41:29 UTC

is it really your land if the government says "yeah, you own it.... but we get to say what goes on it"

2018-09-01 18:42:15 UTC

and its not even the state that is doing it i don't think

2018-09-01 18:42:32 UTC

the state has the power, in this case, to take your land, and then hand it to basically a private company

2018-09-01 18:49:00 UTC

@Dan V I keep hearing Doug Ford passed around.

No one expected Trump either. He just sorta appeared all of a sudden.

2018-09-01 18:50:09 UTC

@Grenade123 Usually, people don't mind these easements too much. Traditionally, it's the oil companies who do it and they tend to bury their pipes and then pay handsomely.

Railroads would be more like roads, and I'm not sure how exactly that would work.

2018-09-01 18:52:30 UTC

people don't mind easements because they basically still have right to use the land

2018-09-01 18:52:37 UTC

but these people are farmers.

2018-09-01 18:53:10 UTC

and they are gonna be building berms to raise the railraod a bit

2018-09-01 18:53:25 UTC

inhibiting livestock movement and causing runoff

2018-09-01 18:54:03 UTC

they would need to pay enough to offset lost revenue and increased cost of business at the least

2018-09-01 18:54:30 UTC

you are right, pipelines people don't usually mind

2018-09-01 19:01:03 UTC

Yeah, we shall see. Among most native Texans, rail projects tend to be unpopular (but the politicians insist on them anyway, particularly Democrats in major cities chasing after SF/LA/NYC). I got a feeling they'll start seizing rights and then the project falls through.

2018-09-01 19:01:26 UTC

*unless the Democrats seize the state government*

2018-09-01 19:02:15 UTC

Currently it's privately funded IIRC. I'm not sure where the ridership would come from and I got a feeling when the bills start coming due the investors will likely run out of cash.

2018-09-01 19:30:01 UTC

i mean, high speed transit between two major cities and a college, there is a chance there could be some good ridership there. at least from tourist and business people

2018-09-01 19:30:07 UTC

and college students

2018-09-01 19:31:03 UTC

Hm, Japan has the Shinkansen, doesn't China have the Transrapid??

2018-09-01 19:49:30 UTC

The issue with rail systems in TX is the same as the problem with rail systems in the midwest. The population tends to be heavily suburban and spread out. The cities also tend to have the same resturants and stuff to where thyere's not much reason to go to one place or another. "

You could get some ridership for major events like Austin City Limits or College move-in/move-out but that's probably not enough to carry a high speed rail system the rest of the year. Plus, surge transit is the worst way to try and make a profit. You have to have lots of assets that sit for most of the year (i.e. large capital investment you don't use).

The fact is that Amtrak is everywhere and has only ever had one profitable region--the urban and old Northeast.

2018-09-01 19:49:56 UTC

You can summarize the problem as "I might get there on rail, but what do I do when I get there and need a car?"

2018-09-01 19:54:06 UTC

Japan and China are much more dense than the US will even pretend to be. A "small town" in China is something routinely a couple million people.

2018-09-01 20:07:11 UTC

true. high speed rail might be profitable if it went over very large distances, but even then its rough

2018-09-01 20:07:28 UTC

freight is about the only thing profitable, but even then its been rough

2018-09-01 20:08:42 UTC

if there was better public transport at the destinations so a car was not needed, it might be profitable. but then you might want to bundle in the costs so a ticket gets you x amount of bus or subway rides at your destination

2018-09-01 20:09:25 UTC

also self-driving cars might start to cut in on the profitability of railways for passenger traffic

2018-09-01 20:09:54 UTC

or if elon's little experiment in car sized vacuum tubes works

2018-09-01 20:10:08 UTC

the stupid thing is to try and get people into train. That's just bullshit.

2018-09-01 20:10:19 UTC

While it makes sense in some cases, it shouldn't be the focus!

2018-09-01 20:10:43 UTC

it makes more sense to try and get the Lorrys of the Street with Trains and let the people drive.

2018-09-01 20:11:00 UTC

huh?

2018-09-01 20:11:17 UTC

what?

2018-09-01 20:11:37 UTC

the primary focus of passenger trains shouldn't be passengers?

2018-09-01 20:11:41 UTC

With Wares/Things you can live with a scheduled transportaton, once per day is also enough for some things.

2018-09-01 20:11:55 UTC

No, Trains should focus more on stuff than people

2018-09-01 20:12:11 UTC

true, and that is most train traffic in the states

2018-09-01 20:13:09 UTC

but the problem is that where stuff is needed and where it is produced changes too fast for how long and costly it takes to build new rail lines

2018-09-01 20:13:11 UTC

The Deutsche Bahn seem to focus more on people and neglegt the transport of goods.

2018-09-01 20:14:00 UTC

in most of Europe, the density makes sense.

2018-09-01 20:14:18 UTC

the cost per mile of rail is very high.

2018-09-01 20:14:41 UTC

You can have big hubs like we have in Germany where for example Hamburg is one of the biggest hubs for goods. The next one would be Amsterdam IIRC.

2018-09-01 20:14:43 UTC

and its probably easier to turn a profit on passenger transit in dense areas than freight

2018-09-01 20:15:28 UTC

what works for rail transit in most of Europe doesn't work in the US because of how empty most of the country is

2018-09-01 20:15:41 UTC

i image Australia has a similar problem

2018-09-01 20:16:35 UTC

Freight is slow, can't have as much volume. But when you have lots of space, you can run super long trains. So you can get a lot done with 1 train. when you have a lot of people around, and the distances are not that great, it doesn't work as well

2018-09-01 20:16:55 UTC

Yeah but for example when I was little the big Farming goods companys (where you sell your grain to or get some other stuff) gotten their weres by train. But that stopped somehow.

2018-09-01 20:17:35 UTC

Ever heard about Rape Oil? ๐Ÿ˜‰

2018-09-01 20:17:36 UTC

have you looked to see if where those goods are produced vs where they are consumed has moved?

2018-09-01 20:18:18 UTC

Rape Oil, the number one export of Canada

2018-09-01 20:18:49 UTC

i know in the US, frieght traffic has taken a major hit since when most of the rails were first place. that's because of the rust belt. Lots of places that consumed metal moved. and metal was something that made sense to move by train

2018-09-01 20:19:46 UTC

since rail is very inflexible, it make more sense to ship things by truck rather than have rail lines running right into factories

2018-09-01 20:20:01 UTC

now i think coal is the number 1 thing that rail transports outside maybe oil.

2018-09-01 20:20:18 UTC

No, it makes sense to move the Trucks by Train ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-09-01 20:20:22 UTC

or work with Containers

2018-09-01 20:20:34 UTC

because most of the mines and power plants have lines going right to them

2018-09-01 20:20:39 UTC

With the Eisenhower Interstate System, there are more lanes of communictation

2018-09-01 20:21:38 UTC

the system should work like your circulatory system. Rail takes stuff to hubs, which then go by truck to their destination

2018-09-01 20:23:11 UTC

but you need to really plan that. and nothing has been planned

2018-09-01 20:23:39 UTC

so now everything is in the way, making it way expensive to fix things up and make them work again

2018-09-01 20:23:53 UTC

you wouldn't see a return on that investment possibly in your lifetime

2018-09-01 20:24:14 UTC

generally why people turn to the goverment for this stuff

2018-09-01 20:40:28 UTC

In short: underaged person lets camera team from local, state sponsored TV in, father throws them out. Camera Team(!!!) presses charges against the person who threw them out(!!)....

2018-09-01 20:40:43 UTC

รคhhhh, right...

2018-09-01 20:43:27 UTC

in Germany we also have "inviolability of the home" and there are also other things to consider. In short: Its a bad idea to not ask all persons if they are allowed and if it isn't a public thing...

2018-09-01 20:44:40 UTC

its just an example of the elitarianism of News Organizations....

2018-09-01 20:45:52 UTC

If a tree falls in the woods but someone else records it than did I really cut it down?

2018-09-01 21:19:13 UTC

@pratel Ford won to be Premier of the province of Ontario, he's in provincial politics and not federal. We'll see but I still think Trudeau gets back in with a minority government.

2018-09-01 21:21:41 UTC

I'm not very into Canadian politics, I really can't judge. I just hear Doug Ford passed around alot.
