Yeah, for my own part even though I'm not a huge fan of Jill Stein personally (although saying she'd put Snowden on her cabinet is both ballsy and actually, the more I've thought of it, actually a really *good* idea in the hypothetical of her actually gaining office) I'm probably going to, once again, vote for the Green Party candidate. My state (California) is under no threat of sending electoral college votes to Trump, so I'd prefer my vote gets tallied up alongside other votes for a non-duopoly.
Sounds kindof like the city spokeperson wasn't a fan either, and might be relieved that the police were forced to back down.
Hollywood depictions aside, the police often have a fair bit of political clout that might be hard to go against depending on the circumstance---or the spokesperson might just be personally relieved that an obviously problematic plan was scrapped, even if just for avoiding how much of a target of citizen ire they might've logically expected to become.
and this is why , we need to vote out the conservative scum n offce today
DONT CARE NDP, OR LIBERAL GO VOTE!!!!
Unfortunately the Liberals have said in terms of the TPP that they'll "look at it", basically, and although they've condemned the secrecy behind the deal they've been quick to repeatedly stress that they're "pro-trade". The NDP has said they flat out won't accept it and won't ratify. Frankly the likely conclusion is that it gets ratified in parliament by Conservatives and a large number of Liberals (or all, depending on how well they can whip their backbenchers, which will depend on how it goes). The only hope for Canada not ratifying the TPP is if the NDP forms the government, which unfortunately in an election where Jack Layton is gone and Trudeau is a household name again is unlikely. Still, point is, if you're against the TPP, the NDP is a stronger vote in that direction.
Had a very similar issue with Rainbow Six 3 Gold (AKA "Raven Shield") recently. Their CD Key authentication service seems borked, and random doesn't work on some computers, saying that the CD key is invalid or in use (two different errors seen on several machines each), so even friends who had purchased it on Steam minutes earlier were finding themselves unable to play it at our LAN party.
Luckily, there were instructions out there on pirate-y sites that made it work, and so by circumventing piracy protection systems we were able to play our legitimately purchased copies of the game . . . sigh.
(If you're wondering about the fix, it basically consists of opening GSRouters.dat and RavenShield.ini in the game's 'system' directory and changing two related URLs to bogus ones; if you're reading this in the future because you somehow got here via Google, I'll likely have put up instructions and a script on github under the same handle as here, just haven't cleaned up my poorly-coded installer+script for this and a few other fixes yet, and haven't yet tested what part and permutation of the instructions actually does the job---although for something like this I'm not *too* worried about cargo culting it, as long as it works.)
