As Russ notes, this is the second strike from Nintendo on his channel. The first, it's worth pointing out, was related to his coverage of a device which allows you to dump Switch games to your computer

[My emphasis]
It should be noted, the only way to legally play an emulated game is to dump the files off a cart/cd/floppy/w.e that you personally own. Which makes this even more egregious, as the video is about a device that could be used for piracy, but is also one of the only ways to legally make a backup of your property.

Yep, just as bad as I remember.

Well, there was that one time

Oh, the time where the cops did fuck all for ages because they had more in common with the "protesters" than the populace they were harassing?

I mean....they were doing just fine at systemic racism before they had the help of AI. So no sympathy from me. There's definitely some cops who try to do good within the system, but the system is broken, so inevitably....ACAB.

It wasn't an active war anymore, and Atari isn't Atari anymore. Idk about Intellivision, but I'm sure they've changed hands loads and diluted their brand too. Nothing burger "war" tastes of nothing

I've been telling everyone I know to sign, even those without any interest in video games, as stronger consumer protections are always good 👍

As mentioned by @JohnnyCanuck

So, the owner of this specific store posted it. As much as I hate how Loblaws has been capitalizing on peoples’ needs, this isn’t Loblaws, it’s the owner of one store.

Do you know that for sure? I found this from seven months ago, if it's the same manager, he seems to be getting away with it:

Pharmacy Assistant vs Volunteer

I've applied to about 15 SDM branches across Toronto for the past month until today. My applications were mixed. Even if I applied online, I also visit the branch to personally drop my resume. There was this one branch who told me that it's nearly impossible to get inside SDM as a pharmacy assistant without Canadian pharmacy experience. I was a licensed pharmacist in my home country and I practiced clinical pharmacy for over 2 years.

According to him, the best way to get in the system and their records will be as a volunteer. He was kinda of disappointed with how the system works, claiming that SDM encourages volunteerism to save a lot on training costs. Is it true that being a volunteer will help me out once there is a vacancy or an opening for a pharmacy assistant slot? Can I use it on my future applications as well?
