The phrase “based off of.” It’s always been stupid. I’m still ahead of the curve because many people still think it’s OK. It’s not.
Depends on where in Canada. Toronto? Vancouver? Montreal? Oy, insane real estate prices. Bumfuck, Alberta? Manitoba? Rural anywhere? Much cheaper.
And regardless of the price I could afford the utility and maintenance on a condo or apartment in a major city in Canada (if I could ever afford one) much more easily than on a castle in France. Not a great comparison.
My kid would like to still have a dad. One who is, ideally, not in prison or dead.
I’m sure it’s a hard problem to solve. However, I’m still not using a product missing a critical feature just because the developer found it too difficult to include the feature. Sympathy to the developer but also I need that feature.
If I believed in a god I’d ask them to save me from the baby communists who see a sickle and hammer on a flag and insist they must have represented utopia.
First, I dig this meme. I’ll probably share it elsewhere.
Second… “POV” just means “hey look at this,” now?
Remember, kids: Don’t do genocide, or else after only two years of murdering people wholesale the UN might say something about it and let you keep murdering.
I’ve taught statistics for over 20 years. I flipflop on this constantly, sometimes in the middle of a sentence. Even more disturbing: I don’t have a consistent position, at least grammatically, on whether it’s singular or plural.
So this is saying Palestine originated with Nazis and Soviet-style communists. I guess some people just missed all that critical thinking we keep trying to put in the education.
Not in my experience. Liberals criticize their parties and communities constantly, at least in the circles I know. The criticism is most often about treatment if others in ways that don’t affect the person themself. Sometimes it even seems like status seeking and gets obnoxious. But I’ll take a movement where status can be had by advocating for others over over where it comes from selfishness.
They have access to it if they threaten/indimidate/blackmail you into giving them access. Dummy phones are a real thing; saw a post today on masto by a company… person (?) who said they keep a stash of clean burner phones for when employees travel through US borders. These are all reasonable, and maybe even CalyxOS’s decoy partition (does it still have that?). The larger problem is that few people will use these things, not even bringing a clean phone. And once they start threatening your family and your long-term safety and freedom, it’s highly likely you’ll give them access, if they know there is any access to be had. Which they increasingly do, because universal surveillance blah blah.
This is cool info. I also wonder, looking at his picture, if he was born in 1988. No idea, but hey.
As a smart person said several years ago, “Context is everything and everything without context is a lie.”
On the surface, yes. Look up Gail Slater and then decide if you really think she’s going to do anything about monopolies. Her career since leaving the FTC has been spent defending them.
Imagine staying onboard with someone promoting nearly every horrible thing in our world just so you can have easier email access.
If it helps, you’re not alone. I’ve spent decades of my life pursuing a career, and in the past five or so years I’ve come to realize I will never accomplish the things I used to dream about, like making an impact in my little field, etc. It’s a really, really unpleasant realization. The only silver lining I can find for myself (and it is helpful) is that I can let go of the “must excel” and “must go above and beyond” mentalities. It frees up time and mental resources.
