Yea, there's too little context here. Update with more information, OP, or we're looking at a GIGO situation.

That's a really great question. I will leave it to other people in the comments to answer.

I took OP's question to mean, "Give me some top-down game suggestions".

Now that I read it again, I see your point. But also, I can't think of any of the suggestions in this thread as being unique.

Factorio 🏭

Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories. You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production and fighting enemies.

Weird

CBS has filed a motion to dismiss President Donald Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit over former Vice President Kamala Harris’ 60 Minutes interview last year, calling the suit an “affront to the First Amendment without basis in law or fact.”

Then judges go boom? Coincidence? Prolly not, since

Never happened. If it did, it's not a big deal.

Yup. In an effort to be spared from the Eye's gaze, smöl ~pp~ would be a sycophantic sellout cum Gollum.

 

Hay guise. What is lemmy.ml rule 1 and how do I see the other rules? They're not in the sidebar.

 

I find it very strange that Canadians are not being warned about the risk of imprisonment when visiting our greatest and best and safest neighbour.

We have evidence from a pretty good source that Canadians will be imprisoned for having the audacity to visit the states. There's no reason to think it's just a one-off since people from other countries are being imprisoned also.

How is it appropriate for our government to recommend "Taking similar precautions to those you would take in Canada.", when our lawyers say it's not safe to travel as we did in the past?

I sincerely hope you'll join me in contacting the Ministry of Travel to have this changed to yellow for caution:

Exercise a high degree of caution

There are certain safety and security concerns or the situation could change quickly. Be very cautious at all times, monitor local media and follow the instructions of local authorities.

The Newfie Curse (www.thecanadianpressnews.ca)
 

I've lived in Canada the majority of my life and have never heard of the Newfie Curse.

I'm glad to see some research into a cure!

AI SUMMARY:

The article discusses the urgent efforts of researchers to find a cure for a mysterious and deadly illness known as the "Newfoundland curse," which can strike without warning. This condition has been linked to a genetic mutation affecting the population in Newfoundland and Labrador, leading to severe health issues and, in some cases, death. Researchers are focused on understanding the genetic basis of the disease and developing potential treatments. The article highlights the challenges faced in this research and the hope that a breakthrough could improve the lives of those affected by this condition.

A.I. summary:


On International Women's Day, March 8, 2025, demonstrators across Quebec rallied to defend women's rights and protest against the policies of the new American administration under President Donald Trump. In Montreal, many protesters wore red, chanted "shame on you," formed human chains, and observed eight minutes of silence. Similar protests occurred in other Quebec cities, including Sherbrooke, Joliette, Victoriaville, and Saguenay.

These gatherings, organized by the collective Mothers at the Front under the banner "Together for our daughters," aimed to denounce perceived attacks by the U.S. administration on women's rights, human rights, health, the environment, and the economy.

The protests reflect a broader movement opposing President Trump's policies, reminiscent of the Women's Marches that took place globally following his first inauguration in 2017.

According to available information, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have initiated an investigation into procurement practices at Alberta Health Services (AHS), focusing on contracts awarded to private surgical clinics and medical supply companies. This probe follows allegations made by former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos, who was dismissed on January 8, 2025. Mentzelopoulos claims her termination was linked to her internal investigation into these procurement practices, including over $600 million awarded to MHCare Medical.

In her wrongful dismissal lawsuit, Mentzelopoulos alleges that Health Minister Adriana LaGrange issued directives preventing AHS from negotiating private surgery contracts and mandated rates exceeding those of comparable agreements. She also raises concerns about a private clinic in Edmonton, Alberta Surgical Group (ASG), which, despite underperformance, was reportedly on track to overbill AHS by approximately $3.5 million.

Additionally, the lawsuit highlights potential conflicts of interest involving Jitendra Prasad, particularly his influence on AHS contracts related to MHCare. Prasad was reportedly referred to as "his guy" by Marshall Smith, then chief of staff to Premier Danielle Smith, and was allegedly positioned at Alberta Health to ensure the government could "get contracting right."

Both Health Minister LaGrange and Premier Smith dispute these claims. The RCMP investigation is ongoing, and no further details have been released at this time.

We need to pay for this.

I propose telling our representatives to stop corporate welfare.

The prime minister's intelligence and security adviser says it's time for Canada to be less dependent on its partners, comments that come a day after the U.S. launched a trade war against its northern neighbour.

"We need to be a little bit more selfish now," said Nathalie Drouin, while speaking on a panel Wednesday morning to a room of international military and security officials in Ottawa.

"Yes we need to make our NATO target, we need to make sure that we remain a reliable partner for NORAD. But we need first to think about Canada and how to protect Canada and this is where our focus should be."

On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump followed through on his threat to impose 25 per cent tariffs on most Canadian goods, a decision that launched both countries into turbulent economic times. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded with counter-tariffs on an initial tranche of $30 billion worth of American goods.

Trudeau said Tuesday that Trump is trying to prompt "a total collapse of the Canadian economy" because he thinks that will "make it easier to annex us," something the U.S. president has repeatedly said he wants to do.

The president's trade war and consistent prodding about making Canada the 51st state are far from his only stance compounding global uncertainty.

Trump has made it clear he wants to see a swift end to the war sparked by Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine via negotiations with Moscow.

Trudeau noted that Trump is attacking his country's "closest partner and ally" while "talking about working positively with Russia and appeasing Vladimir Putin, a lying, murderous dictator."

The United States ended aid to Ukraine after an argument between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office last week.

In her opening remarks, Drouin said Canada needs "to have the appropriate capabilities to defend Canada."

"We are in the most unsettling time since the Second World War," Drouin said. "I could not avoid saying our paradigm relationship with the U.S. has changed."

There are concerns with how the new White House administration will approach intelligence.

As the panel was preparing to begin, senior White House officials announced the country has temporarily cut off intelligence-sharing with Ukraine

One of Drouin's predecessors, Vincent Rigby, voiced concerns last month that the U.S. will weaponize access to American intelligence with traditional allies over trade irritants.

Canadian Security Intelligence Service Director Dan Rogers, also a speaker on Wednesday's panel, expressed optimism that won't be the case, arguing the U.S. benefits from its intelligence relationship with Canada.

"If you can rely on partners to act in their self-interest, then they should continue to value the binational co-operation between U.S. and Canada in the intelligence space. And I think they do," he said.

"Now is a great time to double down on the things that make us strong."
