    Which books would you recommend? I know very little, the part I’m most familiar with is instilling distrust in public institutions is one of the early steps towards fascism.

    I’ve also naively connected the Canadians right’s insistance on stirring distrust in CBC, statscan data, Health Canada, PBO, etc as a step away from a free democracy towards fascism or one of the other forms of governments that depends on lack of information.


  • Yes, when combined with the switch 1

    I keep retyping what I want to say, but I think my feelings come down to:

    1. There are 150 million switch 1’s in the wild, that’s going to continue to be a massive pull for developers when porting new games.
    2. Many families may already have the switch 1, are the exclusives enough of a pull to encourage those people to upgrade?

    I do think the switch 2 will do just fine, but I also think there are a lot of people who loved their switch 1 who might look at the games they played, and look at upgrading to a steamdeck instead of the switch 2.


  • When did lies become hyperbole?

    You said something untrue and then tried to continue to justify it as if it were true. If you were indeed trying to make a joke by exaggerating that should have been your initial response to my question, but instead you run into it.

    You don’t have to dumb anything down, if anything you need to step it up a notch if you’re trying to pass off lies as truth 😛

    Edit: if you’re curious, what you did isn’t hyperbole at all. Hyperbole would be suggesting that Brookfield will own all the rental properties, or something along those lines.

    Trying to state that the government is planning to work with Brookfield to do this program isn’t hyperbole unless there is a grain of truth to exaggerate, which there isn’t. You can’t exaggerate a lie and turn it into hyperbole.
