British Columbia is going to have an election which our incumbent NDP premier, David Eby, has engineered to be an election against no one, because he chose to call it TWO DAYS after the head of the Conservative Party resigned. This is true banana republic stuff.

Dear Microsoft, when I hit the Windows Start menu key and start typing a word to autocomplete a search, I never, ever, EVER want it to return results of something not on my computer. Ever. Like, ever, ever, never.

🚨| Última Hora:

Comunicado Oficial de Cyberleek, el grupo detrás de la nueva filtración de GTA VI donde exigen el cumplimiento de los siguientes puntos:

PUNTO 1:

Ningún consumidor deberá pagar por un juego a través de tiendas digitales antes de su lanzamiento y de que existan análisis independientes. Las preventas físicas de medios tangibles seguirán estando permitidas.

Las preventas no fueron creadas para los jugadores. Se crearon porque los discos físicos tenían límites de fabricación. En la distribución digital no hay inventario. No hay escasez de existencias. Una copia digital no puede agotarse. Sin embargo, las editoras mantuvieron el sistema de preventa y eliminaron su único beneficio para el consumidor. Ahora los jugadores pagan por adelantado y no reciben nada a cambio, excepto un temporizador de cuenta atrás y una apariencia cosmética.

Si las editoras quieren obtener ingresos antes del lanzamiento, pueden fabricar discos. Imprimir cajas. Ponerlos en las estanterías. Ganar ese dinero mediante la producción física.

PUNTO 2:

Ninguna editora deberá vender acceso a contenido para un jugador que ya esté presente en los archivos del juego base que el consumidor ha comprado.

Esto significa: no a las claves de desbloqueo, no a archivos de marcador de posición de 1 MB, no a cambiar una variable de bloqueado a desbloqueado para contenido que ya está en el disco o en la descarga.

Cuando alguien paga más de 70 USD por un juego, ha comprado los datos. Todos ellos. Venderles un archivo que cambia de locked = true a locked = false para una misión, personaje, arma o capítulo de la historia para un jugador significa cobrarles dos veces por el mismo producto.

PUNTO 3:

Cualquier juego que incluya contenido para un jugador deberá incluir un estado alternativo sin conexión. Cuando finalice el soporte del servidor, la editora deberá publicar un parche final que desbloquee todo el contenido para un jugador para su uso local e indefinido.

The Crew tenía una campaña para un jugador. La gente pagó el precio completo. Después, Ubisoft cerró los servidores y todo el juego murió, incluido el contenido para un jugador. Sin reembolsos. Sin parche. Sin alternativa.

El contenido para un jugador depende de una única cosa: el hardware que el consumidor ya posee. Hacer que muera cuando los servidores desaparecen es un robo.

Estos tres puntos son el suelo, no el techo, de lo que resulta aceptable. Si las editoras los incumplen, serán señaladas.

CYBERLEEK seguirá interrumpiendo sus operaciones hasta que emitan una declaración pública y una disculpa con un compromiso concreto para reparar el daño que han causado.

No habrá negociaciones privadas. No habrá acuerdos silenciosos. El público lo verá, o los «leaks» no se detendrán.

Las editoras deberían tener cuidado. Si CYBERLEEK puede llegar hasta Rockstar, nadie está a salvo.

Este es un mensaje para todas las grandes corporaciones: comportaos o seréis el próximo objetivo.

Canada is run on a pyramid scheme if you don't increase population, pensions and healthcare will fail. The number of working-age people for every senior aged 65 and older dropped from 7.7 in 1966 to 3.4 in 2022, and is projected to fall near 3. Young people now pay more tax's to support a failing system than their predecessors did and doubtful they will even collect a pension when they reach retirement age as Canada's birth rate is dramatically declining and is producing half of what is necessary to sustain Canada's pensions and healthcare costs.

Shinji’s near-total lack of self-worth turns even basic attention toward Asuka into emotional labor that feels draining and pointless to him.
Shinji does not experience himself as a person who has inherent value or anything worth offering. His self-image is built almost entirely around external utility (piloting, not disappointing people, avoiding further rejection). When Asuka demands to be seen—whether she’s performing a flashy pool dive and yelling “Watch this, Shinji!” or later mirroring the same need for recognition in the EVA—she is asking him to notice her, react, and affirm that she exists and matters. For someone whose internal model of himself is “I am worthless / unwanted / only tolerable when useful,” that request is exhausting on multiple levels:
1. Giving genuine attention requires believing that your gaze or reaction has weight. Shinji does not believe this. Any praise or focused notice he might give feels fraudulent to him, like he’s play-acting at being a person who can validate someone else. The effort of performing that response (or even just sustaining focus long enough to give a real reaction) costs more energy than it returns.
2. Asuka’s style of seeking attention is rarely soft. It comes packaged with competition, insults, and pressure. Engaging with it means opening himself to the exact feedback loop that already confirms his self-loathing (“of course she’s calling me an idiot / showing off at my expense”). Avoiding or half-assing the attention is his default self-protection; actually paying it forces him to sit inside that discomfort longer.
3. Attention is not neutral for him. It is tightly linked to expectation and potential abandonment. His father’s conditional regard trained him that being noticed usually precedes being used or discarded. Asuka’s constant “look at me / react to me” therefore registers less as connection and more as another demand he will inevitably fail, which is psychologically costly for someone already running on empty.
4. Because he is so absorbed in managing his own emptiness and dread, he has very little surplus bandwidth for other people’s emotional needs. Noticing Asuka properly would require stepping outside his defensive shell long enough to track her performance, her feelings underneath the bravado, and her desire for reciprocity. That is effortful when your baseline is dissociation and low-grade despair.

TL;DR Asuka is asking to be witnessed by someone who does not experience himself as a witness capable of giving anything real. The mismatch makes the simple act of “paying attention” feel like an uphill, high-stakes performance rather than a natural interpersonal exchange. That is why scenes of her seeking his notice so often end with him looking blank, overwhelmed, or minimally responsive—he is not merely uninterested; the internal cost of meeting her need exceeds what his depleted sense of self can sustain

I'm rereading The Odyssey for the first time in decades and I had forgotten how funny some of it is.

Penelope: I had this dream where an eagle came down and killed all the geese that were eating my stores. The eagle spoke with Odysseus’s voice and said that these geese were the suitors eating me out of my house, and he, the eagle, is Odysseus, who has returned and is about to kill the suitors. He says that this is not a dream but a vision telling me what is about to come to pass. I do not understand this dream. Please, stranger who reminds me so much of Odysseus, tell me what this portent means.

Disguised Odysseus: It means that Odysseus is returning and will kill the suitors.

Penelope: Ah, noble stranger who is very like my husband Odysseus who will never return, dreams are very hard to interpret. This one's interpretation seems unknowable.
