All the advancement in the world will never defeat borked physics and puppet models

2018-07-27 23:04:47 UTC  

the porked physics

2018-07-27 23:04:57 UTC  

nad the pooped models

Anyone here, a man of culture, whom might have played Die by the sword as a kid?

2018-07-27 23:06:23 UTC  

I might have it on GoG. I was eyeballing it a few times. Never played it, but I did play RUNE

2018-07-27 23:06:57 UTC  

When I was a kid it was Sega, then PlayStation. Didn't have a good PC for gaming until HS

2018-07-27 23:07:06 UTC  

I remember the controls being terrible. Last time I played was... many ages ago. But the game is great for its time

2018-07-27 23:07:17 UTC  

And it just popped on my head for some reason so I just mentioned it

2018-07-27 23:08:43 UTC  

RUNE is great

2018-07-27 23:32:34 UTC  

sargon just joined

Jeremy, Dankula, Bearing and Sargon

I just joined to specify something i believe Tim was unaware of, when it comes to canadian insurance rates, and that's that those insurance rates are unaffected by any sort of program meant to assist disadvantaged people, the reason why men are charged more is due to an increase to men's prices (especially around 17-24) due to that demographic being riskier drivers, as much as it sucks to be judged on the same spectrum of every guy who flipped his truck into the ditch, that's the situation here.

2018-07-27 23:55:50 UTC  

And now you're stuck here forever

2018-07-27 23:56:32 UTC  

And that doesn't really counter Tim's point

2018-07-27 23:57:21 UTC  

Which is that if the rate is lowered that's discriminatory based on an arbitrary characteristic

2018-07-27 23:57:21 UTC  

Actually, if anything, it sort of confirms Tim's point

2018-07-27 23:57:55 UTC  

He described it as a program though, which is what i addressed.

2018-07-27 23:58:08 UTC  

His point aside

2018-07-27 23:58:27 UTC  

Isnt canada the country that makes it easy to change the gender you identify with?

2018-07-27 23:59:38 UTC  

I wouldnt say its explicitly a program. The issue id reckon stems from how they have very vague definitions on gender.

2018-07-27 23:59:55 UTC  

Never really needed to know how to do that. So no clue, only concerned with any bill with a C in front of it from the last decade, they either took away privacy, or restricted speech.

2018-07-28 00:01:54 UTC  

But i do know this, men were charged more, because insurance companies saw an opportunity to cash in, so their solution to this will likely be to just increase prices for women to match men's.

2018-07-28 00:02:04 UTC  

And I think that made it easier to exploit the system.

2018-07-28 00:02:33 UTC  

Well the insurace company charging men more is just pragmatism.

2018-07-28 00:03:09 UTC  

Its discrimitory, but the point is that gender does play a role in many things and driving habits are one of those.

2018-07-28 00:04:11 UTC  

I mean, the insurance industry in canada... is certainly something. It's a state enforced necessity, can't drive without it, and several measures have been taken (specifically in Alberta) to make sure that if you try to pursue competitive rates, it'll cost you more than just staying with your current company.

2018-07-28 00:04:52 UTC  

Huh, so its another obamacare style issue

2018-07-28 00:05:06 UTC  

And everytime they rose rates illegally, they just apologized, then asked for permission.

2018-07-28 00:06:10 UTC  

Pretty much, no way to not get screwed by insurance here, just gotta sit in the corner and watch it abuse your wallet

2018-07-28 00:06:41 UTC  

or just use public transit. one of the two.

2018-07-28 00:08:24 UTC  

Apologize for it. How canadian.

2018-07-28 00:09:14 UTC  

So insurance, enforced by the govt. Cant turn a profit or be competitive. Well they must know something I dont then.

2018-07-28 00:09:14 UTC  

Yeah, but it's an oopsie then not changing anything, like a kid apologizing in grade school.

2018-07-28 00:09:27 UTC  

Oh, they can turn a profit

2018-07-28 00:09:37 UTC  

They're not state owned.

2018-07-28 00:09:48 UTC  

But why the anti competition rule?

2018-07-28 00:12:35 UTC  

if you knew the canadian governments history with this stuff, actually, great example, during WW2 canada produced the sten SMG i believe it was called, it was absolute trash. The reason for it being that the prime minister's nephew had a friend who's father owned a factory, or something along those lines.

2018-07-28 00:14:28 UTC  

So probably just because insurance lobbyists asked, or because someone knew a guy. You wouldn't believe the amount stuff that goes on in Alberta, lot of people working Exxon and Shell fell to their death in a field.
