Fear.

Fear of losing bodily autonomy and control to mandatory vaccines, fear of government overreach (easy boogeyman to paint), but most of all, fear of unknown things they don't understand (microbiology and immunology).

Too bad they will have to relearn the fear of losing their children to a formerly eradicated disease.

Of course, the bastards with a financial incentive to profit from any patsy that falls for it also perpetuate this cycle of fear and loathing.

Obligatory fuck /u/Spez.

This type of behavior needs to be regulated. Foreign interference isn't acceptable, and if Canada passes the online harms act then the ensuing regulator needs to handle situations like this or at least hand out massive fines for greed and indifference.

Your situation is not applicable to why the lawsuit exists.

It's the idiots that pirated and leaked TOTK a week before the release date that gave Nintendo ammunition for this case. As a result, everybody who is using Yuzu legitimately will suffer for it.

If there's anything Activision knows how to do, it's follow the money.

And what better source of money than young adults spending their first paychecks or teenagers begging their parents to buy them the hottest and newest game that all their friends are playing?

Honest fact based journalism is an essential pillar of a functional democracy. Being informed is absolutely in the public interest, and government funding should support it, precisely because it often isn't profitable or sustainable for private companies (as we keep seeing over the years).

I don't understand why this is so hard to grasp. And the people whining about liberal bias and calling for defunding of public media are missing the forest for the trees (even if some of the journalism is questionable in quality).

This piece of trash needs to be arrested and extradited.

Even a scooter or motorcycle is better than a car (though not necessarily safer).

I will make it legal.

I think the part that hurts is that nobody in the Israeli government has any idea what to do with Palestine and its people after the shooting stops, other than the far right nut jobs calling for expansion of Israeli settlements and de facto ethnic cleansing of the land.

Without a viable strategic end goal other than the destruction of Hamas as a military force and political entity, and a refusal to recognize a Palestinian state, what other conclusion can bystanders reach aside from seeing this war as an effort to destroy or displace the Palestinian people?

Gut the police budget because this is a city without crime!

I'm going to enjoy watching the UCP squirm when the water wars arrive.

Bro, who tf are you talking to?

The Spanish empire is horrific in its treatment of indigenous people in the Americas.

Ask any Algerian about the French Empire.

King Leopold's crimes against humanity in the Belgian Congo are impossible to ignore.

Just because the other empires aren't talked about as often, doesn't mean they're forgiven.
