"Fully commit" to see the light? That.... sounds more like a kind of religion, not like critical or even rational thinking.

It also gives these shovel peddlers an excuse: "Oh, you're not seeing gains? Are you even ~~lifting~~ AI-ing, bro? You probably have some employees not using enough AI, you have to blame them instead of us."

Have you seen those places? They're a fraction the size of indoor playgrounds, and displace shelves that used to be packed with toys. https://www.toysrus.ca/en/playlab-indoor-playground.html

Because every soft play place eventually devolves into a lure to get kids to play overpriced, lootboxified arcade games.

She's practically just as you remember her.

Except for the soft play area they're adding. She's enshittifying.

They misspelled ruin.

That's why I drew the distinction between banning things the government doesn't approve of and banning Nazi symbolism. The former is a risk to freedom of expression, but the latter is just hate speech, and south of the border (heck, even here with the KKKonvoy) is a perfect example of where the line should have been drawn w.r.t. that.

And just to be clear, I'm not defending the bill - I'll criticising the examples that the article used.

Not favourite, but I used to use Google search almost exclusively because the results were good, and I could tell it to never show results from certain sites.

No need to tell this community the sad state of affairs it's in now...

While government censorship is dangerous, the article is picking some really disingenuous examples:

Another provision would make it illegal (as a government backgrounder puts it) to “willfully promote hatred against an identifiable group by publicly displaying certain terrorism or hate symbols.” It specifies the Nazi swastika, the SS insignia and the symbols of designated terrorist groups. What that means is that someone could be arrested in Canada simply for waving a flag, a bad idea no matter how odious the idea it represents.

If you're waving a Nazi flag, you're not "just waving a flag." They could have gone with "you could get charged for protesting a genocide" but decided to go with "I won't be able to show my approval of fascism." ಠ_ಠ

It requires some serious juice. Bone healing juice, to be precise.

Cobalt 60 has a half life of 5.27 years. Assuming that a language lost to time is at least 500 years old, the rod should be fairly safe to handle. Heck, even after only 100 years less than 0.01% of the original amount of radioactive material would be left.

But that aside - One of the items that can be found in the video game series Avernum is Uranium bars, which give you a nice unhealthy glow :)

NGL, I had to do a double take because I read it as injuries too on the first pass.
