Furthermore, the people most likely to kill and abuse their partners and children are men, and I don’t see any suggestions that all men need a psychological screening.

It should be noted that women are much more likely to kill children in their first year of life. With the seriousness of postpartum mental health issues maybe we really shouldn't be leaving mothers alone with their children? I mean this in multiple ways, including that recent parents should have far more support including visits by a nurse or midwife, social services, etc. to make sure parents know what to do and have what they need to do it. Our society leaves people to fend for themselves far too often.

You know what's really fun? All of these "features" affect the Consumer Price Index math so it makes your TV look even more valuable than it actually is, causing the government's official inflation rate to be a little lower than what we actually feel. This is true of smartphones, computers, cars, etc..

The fact you can't fix anything? Not included.

Solid list but you missed Saturn Bomberman. That version is one of the best ones.

Also Astal which was beautiful.

I'm not terribly concerned if people write code and test it with AI, so long as they verify the results themselves.

I recently saw someone try to add a PR to something on github with thousands of lines of changes and then they got mad when people didn't want to do the free labour verifying it. That is a bullshit use of AI

This is the definition of both unnecessary and pointlessly provocative

Personally I wouldn't bet on the next election. Grassroots power takes a lot longer to build, but it's much more resilient in the long run. If you're joining the NDP get ready to play the long game.

I doubt the people are ready for another orange wave, at least until Avi Lewis gets the local activist networks going again. On that note I encourage people to actually join the NDP and help get things rolling. Membership is very affordable (depends on region, was <$20 for me) and they will put every dollar and minute you're willing to give to use.

Mind the context, we are talking about how little our society is capitalizing on the abilities of people, not on some stupid "we only use 10% of our brain" take
