The Strange New Trend That’s Enraging Hiring Managers SLATE.COM My, how the tables have turned. -
Wow it must be such a great place to work if he came in after being shot!

Would Baldwin potentially be charged? I would imagine as an actor that he would be insulated (since it's not the actor's job to prepare props, etc). But could he be named as a producer since the movie was clearly cutting corners overall?

New cabinet has been sworn in, as mentioned. But let's look at once person in particular—Sean Fraser: How tall is this guy?! He's in the second row but is taller than some people in the third row.

Update: Senate shelves the BBB Act

The US is set up in such a way that the government can't really govern. In almost all other developed nations, the winner of the general election controls both the executive and the legislature, and effectively can do what they want (in other words, what they ran on) for 4-5 years. Then, they get judged on that (as well as future promises) in the next election. In the US, because the opposition has sooooo much power to stop anything from happening (by design), politics is about raising money, not doing things. -
Fuck yeah

In Canada the ministers haven't mattered since...what, the 1970s/80s under Trudeau Sr.? Since the 80s, at least, they have effectively been beholden to the PMO. You could argue that perhaps Paul Martin was fairly independent in the 1990s, but I can't think of many others. I mean you still want competent people, I'm just referring to independence and ability to do what they want with the portfolio.

The only places I go right now are work (where I've already had to provide proof of vaccination), the grocery store, and...that's really about it. I've been to Winners/Homesense once this month to get some sweaters. But grocery/retail do not have to check for vaccination, as they are deemed essential by the government. Really it's just for indoor dining, theatres, concerts, large events, liquor stores, weed stores, etc.

Absolutely. I know some people who were waiters (who changed careers during the pandemic), and they said at some points it was pretty much only anti-maskers/vaxxers going to restaurants for dine-in, and they were the worst of the worst customers they've ever waited on. Though perhaps restaurant patronage is down a bit since about 20% of the adult pop is excluded thanks to vaccine passports in my province...I also have to imagine that tips are up by about 1000%.

I haven't played a Halo game since I rented an original Xbox in high school. However, this being on PC—and BF 2042's disappointing changes—definitely have me very interested!

For me personally it's a quality-of-life improvement to not have to be around the unvaccinated, not just protection against the virus
-
I mean they're already in place in most provinces. I've only had to use mine once, and it was very easy. And it's by far been the single biggest measure to increase first-shot vaccinations.
-
My favourite is that the vaccine makes you either lose an arm, or gain an arm. Okay...taken to the logical conclusion (I know that's not how these people think), that's a miracle and would make these companies incredibly rich without needing a pandemic to justify the use of the vaccine. Like, imagine if you could just grow extra limbs. I swear to god these people need to take a class in sci-fi/fantasy worldbuilding, they lack imagination for the societal repercussions for their claims (if they were true).

It could be $1.5 trillion for a 3km tall chocolate easter bunny and he'd be okay with it. "Everyone loves chocolate, and we're not putting our grandchildren into bigger debt." And then Sinema would vote against it because it's not white chocolate. -
My wife got her third shot yesterday (first Pfizer, second and third Moderna) and she's out for the count, and probably will be for two-to-three days. It got to the point last night that she was crying in pain from the muscle soreness all over her body. Her second shot was the same. Glad she'll be better-protected, but her reaction to the vaccine is definitely on the extreme end. Could have something to do with her MS, as well, I know it's caused other people with MS to have pseudo-relapses since it sends the immune system into attack mode (which is what does damage in MS).

Is this something that needs to be seen in a theatre, or is watching at home a decent option?
-
Wow, those are some pretty positive reviews.

"I heard those Spanish don't like racism. Racism is one of the platforms of the Republicans, so we can't publicly oppose that," Zuckerberg was heard to say.

The solution is to live in a province that has a working solution. In SK, as fucked as our government is, we have both a printable PDF QR code as well as an actual app. The app displays your code instantly, and the companion app for businesses scans it and displays your full name and vaccination status. Super simple. If you don't want to use the government app you can put the QR code into your Apple or Google wallet.

Basically. They are the leader of the party who wins the provincial election, so aren't directly elected. But they lead the executive. In Canada you will never have the provincial leader be of a different party than the legislature (and there is only a single legislature in each province).

Our ICUs are basically collapsing thanks to our conservative, dumb premier. We're shipping out 2-4 patients per day to other provinces, and now this: Meanwhile, the premier won't bring in new restrictions.

PC Darkest Dungeon II - reviews from OpenCritic posted
CitizenVectron replied to Commissar SFLUFAN's topic in The Spawn Point
Niiiice. Loved the first game, and this looks great. -
To be fair, look what happened in AB and SK when they went faster...our ICUs are basically collapsing. SK is transferring 2-3 people per day to Ontario's ICUs.
