@melsyndra @Rightsreserved6 @CitizenX @grok They offer Canadian passports through Bill C-3 which permits canadian ancestry holders.

CASH IS KING, BUT PASSPORT IS QUEEN.
Buffet likes cash because of its optionality.
That's also what passports give: optionality.
In an increasingly authoritarian world, mobility is liquidity.
So if you are a wealthy individual, it's time to build your passport portfolio.
English
@balancedbun @Rightsreserved6 @CitizenX @grok Yeah, I don’t know. They list Canada on their website and you can’t buy a Canadian passport without having a citizenship status for Canada and even if you did, it’s sure as hell not gonna cost you 15k given a 10 year passport cost $170
English
@melsyndra @Rightsreserved6 @CitizenX @grok It is legit. They use the CBI (Passport by investment) program where high networth individuals get passports for making significant economic investments for the country they want a passport for. Its a legitimate program.
English
@BobbyG_37 @JohnNielsecjo0 @CitizenX Here’s how they did it click the thing I circled and gives you all the information
English
@Rightsreserved6 @CitizenX @grok The likelihood of this being legit is extremely low. You can’t purchase a Canadian passport without having a Canadian citizenship status once you have that you can buy it for $170 and it will give you 10 year passport this site or company list a Canadian passport for 15k

@TheActMan_YT to say its "irresponsible" is crazy, and really just shows everyone where epic direction is going
English
Gamers being able to make informed decisions about what they purchase is a good thing actually

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney believes Valve is irresponsible for forcing AI disclosures on Steam. 🔗 wccf.tech/1kpk4 "I think it's really irresponsible of Valve. They shouldn't do it, because it makes it much, much, much harder for a game developer to have a chance of success. You have to choose from either not using tools that can make you way more productive, and probably failing due to competition that does."

@KurisuEru "advertised me and SVA and have a giant QR code next to us and it leads to a Rick Roll YouTube video."....going to assume at this point and leave it at that, no point in arguing over nothing.
English
@melsyndra I didn't specify because the point was to have a sign with a qr code that sends people to a rickroll on YT. No streaming involved. If the rickroll video is on one of their own YT channels, they'll get all the YT analytics, which is way more than just views. Plus...
English
Okay so fun idea
Hey @FlorkOfCows what if you helped me buy a bunch of billboard signs across Texas and advertised me and SVA and have a giant QR code next to us and it leads to a Rick Roll YouTube video.
English
@KurisuEru "host the rickrolls on their own channels" sure you didnt say streaming specifically but you also didnt specify either, either ways posting via thier channels would still not carry the same effect, and the only "tracking" would still be views and not qr scans
English
@melsyndra Who said anything about doing anything on stream? I was talking about where the rickroll videos were located.
English
@KurisuEru The whole purpose is to get a billboard for ad advertisement while trolling people with a QR code kind of defeats the purpose if they just said, screw it and did it on stream
English
@melsyndra @zentreya @FlorkOfCows If they host the rickrolls on their own channels, they get all the tracking plus the traffic.
English
@zentreya @FlorkOfCows could maybe even set up a location logger and build a heat map of people getting rolled
English
@zentreya @FlorkOfCows why just limit it to texas billboards why not make posters that people could print out and put up, make it global?

English
@amarilloarts_ Totally understandable dude, hopefully everything is going smoothly on your end and you don’t get burned out :)
English
@melsyndra I just a matter of where I can allocate my resources. I'm stretched pretty thin at the moment heh

@melsyndra Yes I will have a demo up, but I'm not prioritizing it for now
English
@_Mamalucy_ If minors are paying to have their accounts age verified on vrc a simple fix if keeping whatever adult shot you and everyone else is doing to friends / friends+ lobbies instead of public/group, this would give the best “moderation” to prevent kids joining

@AdamJHumphreys @AiGC_ABiGaming what?....dude most drugs are illegal in canada and yet people still do them....so if they made gambling illegal people would still gamble....you just wont see casinos, or anything related to gambling in public...also casinos have exclusion forms for addiction
English
@melsyndra @AiGC_ABiGaming That's like giving drugs to addicts and taking their money to say it doesn't solve anything if we don't take their money.

@AiGC_ABiGaming Please look into Bet365 and their long-standing issue of making withdrawals near impossible if you are winning too much. I can only hope they get an obliterated when all the new apps arrive in Alberta next month. @bet365
