I was surprised when she brought up Mortal Kombat as an example of over sexualized characters, and not, say, the entire Dead or Alive series. Especially Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball. She does make some good points in her video, and I don't want to dismiss her point of view, but I feel she took the easy way out in addressing this point.

Games, and movies and tv, have treated women as sexual objects for a long time, and now the pendulum has swung the opposite way in reaction to that. It's going to take a while for games, and movies and tv, to allow for better perspectives on women. I think the indy scene is where we will find this happening before we ever see it in the major studios, since the latter has to worry about limiting risk and making investors happy. But hopefully the recent flops will be a shot across the bow and wake them up.

Except for that, this was a good video. She lays out her arguments well. I don't agree with every point, but I understand where she's coming from and can respect her point of view.

Thanks for sharing this info with us, I for one appreciate the transparency. And thanks for the work the admins and mods put in to keep the spam at bay!

I hate how Via Rail is trying to call it "an inconvenience."

A train being 15 minutes late is an inconvenience. A train running out of the sandwich you like is an inconvenience. This was a complete lack of emergency planning and care for the passengers. The fact that a diabetic person has to be rescued off the train is appalling.

There needs to be regulations brought in to stop any transportation business from being able to literally trap people like this all because they don't want to pay to make it right.

The business will always only do what's best for them. They're becoming less and less afraid of bad PR. So we need to make them care again with regulations, fines, and even criminal charges when it reaches that threshold.

Who wants to bet Sony will shoehorn in a PSN requirement just to play a single player game?

Oh wait, it says so right on the requirements image in the lower right corner. Colour me shocked.

The UCP folks. The party of big government in control of everything. From municipalities to whether or not you can defend yourself in court or from the police. Gonna be fun for the folks sitting in an interrogation room praying a lawyer will show up while they're being antagonized by the cops. They can't force you to answer, but they sure as shit can make your life hell while in their custody.

In this case, it sounds like the heat shield still performed and protected the craft. But since it burned in ways they didn't predict, they want to understand why first. They also delayed the next mission to give themselves time to understand what happened.

To me this sounds like they are making sure the heat shield will stand up to all the actual stresses it will be under and making sure they fully understand what those stresses are.

This is actually good to see. They are not merely accepting the risk to the heat shield, they are searching for the root cause to the problem. NASA is keeping the Challenger and Columbia disasters in mind while designing and launching the Artemis missions.

This article reads like a Twilight Zone episode turned to the "nightmare" setting.

I think there is, when you or a business is purchasing a complete product from another country. But if you are a Canadian company, there are no tariffs if you're manufacturing a product in another country and then selling it in Canada.

I think.

Tariffs are too complicated, and I won't be surprised if something I said is wrong.

This is a beautiful song.

I think it's the description that's confusing. These hackers are getting in and writing their own prescriptions from the way it sounds. They then fill these prescriptions at regular pharmacies, or sell the prescriptions for a buyer to then get filled.

Can't read the whole article though without signing up, so maybe it's something different.

Get 2 smaller stones. Put them down in front of the boulder. As you push the boulder up, kick the stones along with it, so that the stones would hold the boulder in place for you. Get to the top, and get hit by lightning from angry gods for your impudence.
