I'm Nathan. I'm a paramedic. I woke up in a world that looks a lot like an old-school computer game, except minus most of the monsters. My new friends can only think of one way to get me home, but it ...

I wonder how this will destroy Mass Effect (EA is publisher) or Sims (dev and publisher)

I love Mass Effect - but can't see giving the Fascist Trump Reich Empire so they won't get any of my money

#BoycottEA #EAisDead

I hope Mass Effect can find a new publisher

$20 for a signed & US-delivered paperback is a steal

my back - but even with Disability Benefit, I have barely enough money to pay expenses (and the apt is actually relatively cheap).

My disabled roommate wants to pay for editors and cover artists for her indie books, but, again, no funds

Many would work on our passions if we could :)

I am disabled, on ODSP, but would love more so I can actually start working on my company.
My back is too bad, and sadly skills degraded over 15 yrs of pain and presc. morphine, but am trying to get PC and office set up to do audio editing

Oh yea, the isolationist US sat out 2 yrs of the war because big business were getting rich selling to both sides!

Time for the left to draft up #Project2029 with such radical proposals as
- universal healthcare
- a ban on private equity buying up housing
- UBI
- Feeding the hungry
- Etc.

Opinion | A Trump appointee confirmed that Project 2025 was the plan all along

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr's weird meme was the final insult.

Canada NOW has a UK/Australia style Internet ID Bill!

Bill S209 - "An Act to restrict young persons’ online access to pornographic material"

Who will DEFINE "pornographic"??

This bill defines it as nudity for a sexual purpose! Wikipedia? Sex Health?

I am disgusted that Canada's #GardaWorld is "providing the muscle" for Florida's ICE detention centre - “Alligator Alcatraz"

Even scarier ... the Can "government isn’t ruling out working with the security giant in the future."

For what??
