I wish I could do more shopping there, but eBay in Canada is extremely expensive which has lead to it being kind of a ghost town compared to the US. $20-$50 shipping fees, even on tiny items, is common.

So I've started to use AliExpress more often. Literally the exact same item on Amazon but without the markup - sometimes even half the price. It's not a great solution but the online shopping selection here in Canada is awful.

Not every type of epilepsy is photosensitive.

In fact, it's an extremely rare form of epilepsy.

Also tonic-clonic seizures are only one of many kinds, and they are not fun.

The primary use of my computer is for work as I am a 3D artist. I also watch a lot of videos and it serves as my audio rig for my music and headphones.

Unrealistic. Cancellation would require sending a hand-written letter signed by Henry the 5th, sealed with the ear wax from a Thompson's Gazelle, and be written upon parchment made from wood hewn from Yggdrasil.

Well, think about it.

They profit off their users by either charging them for a service, selling user data, and/or advertisement. If their dating app was very successful and quickly matched users together, they wouldn't be using the app very long and the company would lose potential profit.

This probably wasn't the case in the earlier days of the internet but it certainly is now. They want you hooked and coming back every day so they can get maximum profit off you.

Paid calculator apps.

Not only are many of them paid - but they are subscription as well. Imagine paying a monthly fee for your goddamn calculator.

This comes shortly after news that EA lost several billion in market value and Veilguard underperformed, so not surprising at all.

Nvidia is in the business of selling AI hardware. They want to hype up AI so they sell more hardware.

This is a salesman trying to make a sale.

Good bug!

Hot damn did they ever screw up badly with DAV.

If they just released what people were expecting (and wanting): Dreadwolf, a true Dragon Age sequel - then it would've sold by the figurative truckload and they'd be riding the money boat right now.

But no. The reality-disconnected decision makers decreed that it had to be ultra sanitised, corporate, Disney-esque slop. Not an awful game, sure, but absolutely not a Dragon Age game.

This needs to be one part of a multi-part retaliation to the US. The trade deals between the US and Canada are worth almost 1 Trillion dollars with manufactured goods and fuels being a large part of it. With the US being so politically unstable and aggressive, we need to find new trade deals and walk away from these draconian agreements we made with the US.

Canada has major ports on both the Pacific and Atlantic coast with rail and road infrastructure linking them to the rest of the country. There is a lot we could do. Will we? Probably not. A sizable portion of our own political sphere wants to bend over and take it from Trump even though he will give no love in return.

Shows the interesting power of cultural context and perspective. Like how alcohol and its consumption is incredibly normalised and accepted despite the fact it's literally poison and kills over 100,000 people each year in the US alone.
