When I was a teenager that started follow the politics of the US, I was extremely confused about the Republicans calling the left liberals, because our liberals were center-right.

It took me a few years to stumble upon the Overton window (without using that name at that time).

I kinda disagree with you. Why would it be different from now? We know that people will die.

I’ve had good friends pass away at different times, and it hurts but eventually, I move on.

My only exception, with the knowledge I have today, is that I wouldn’t have any kids. That attachment is straight up reptilian brain and that would be way too hard. Otherwise, it would be okay.

Comedy isn’t a free pass to be a racist piece of shit.

For those that didn’t know before that Tony Hinchliffe is a racist Republican, now they know and can choose for themselves what they want to do about that. You can go and suck Tony’s dick.

“I am not racist because I have black friends”. This is how you sound.

The presidential nominee for the GOP is openly racist, sexist and a fascist. By choosing DJT as a nominee, you cannot dissociate the rascim from the party. If you are still a member of the GOP and/or vote for Trump, at best, you enable racism.

So yeah, going to the GOP rally shitting on Puerto Ricans, you are most definitely racist.

The context is important. Republicans are openly racists, and this is a rally for Donald Trump presidency. This isn’t a badly lit comedy room

It’s a deliberate choice by companies because they sell you the thing, and the service to fix the thing.

“Get off my lawn kids. And god forbid we train people.”

The common man won’t go out of their way to learn a software they don’t even know they will use. Why is it somehow worst for young people?

The personal computer as we grew up with is long gone, but somehow, companies and hiring managers expect everyone to be like it is still the case.

And let’s be real, the vast majority of people don’t know how to use excel even if they work with it every day. For them, it’s a database with a UI and a chart module.

So yeah, ask for 5 years experience for an entry level data entry position, that’ll fix it for you.

You are right about the fact that businesses are not legally obligated to accept cash. I was wrong on that.

As for e-payment not working, it happened to me at least 3 times since last year, and it fucking sucks.

I don’t like to walk with a lot of cash on me, but if I know that there is a outage of payment systems, I can at least use the cash I keep at home to pay for my basic needs.

More options is good in any case. We are already tracked enough as it is, so I understand people that want to use cash.

Ever had a moment where you needed to go buy groceries but couldn’t pay because the payment system is down nation wide?

Many people did many times and if you don’t have cash on you, well you can’t pay for shit.

A cashless society is not a good thing. And that is especially dumb since a merchant can’t refuse legal tender, but the federal government is refusing legal tender by doing this.

Even though Facebook is a terrible inhumane corporation, they have the best product because it is lightweight, can be used without any base station and can be used without a pc-link.

The fact that a VR set requires at minimum a 5x5 feets space with a computer within the vicinity is definitely hurting the VR market.

So I just hope that we get something akin to the Quest but without the evil corporation bit.

When I played Elite Dangerous with a VR headset, man was it magical. But I won’t dedicate a small room and a PC just for that experience.

We’re in an era where corporations are buying housing at an unprecedented rate.

They have deep pockets, so even though the people holding mortgage will see relief, we will also see more housing bought by corporations.

The normal person cannot compete with the corporations, and they will have to either outbid the corporation, or hope that the seller find their story touching and sell them the house even if the bid is lower.

So yeah, prices will raise for sure.

You got some serious reading comprehension issues. I am talking about you.

“akchually, there wasn’t enough racist comments”. One racist comment is too much.

Then he can shut the fuck up asking Trudeau to commit a federal crime, and he can work with agencies to contain the members of his party that are named in the reports.

But that would take effort and integrity, the antipod of the conservative party.

The situation is just strange all around. Poilievre openly asking Trudeau to commit a federal crime, but at the same time, won’t take the time to get the security clearance to get the information himself.

People are gobbling that bullshit and asking for more.

Man, why didn’t we think of not putting these zone at risk of flooding. That would stop all these recent flooding.

Realtors should just shut the fuck up.

That VC money was the start of the end. No reassurance can be trusted the moment a company accepts VC funding. It’s only a matter of time until Bitwarden makes their next enshittification move.

The direction that the company is taking. Clearly that Bitwarden feels like other open source projects are diverting revenue from them.

That’s a small step towards enshittification. They close this part of the software, then another part until slowly it is closed source.

We’ve seen this move over and over.

Stopping your business with Bitwarden over that issue sends a message that many customers don’t find this acceptable. If enough people stop using their service, they have a chance to backtrack. But even then, if they’ve done it once, they’ll try it again.

Your current price is 10$/year now. But the moment a company tries to cull any open source of their project is the moment they try to cash it in.

Yes, but not by another mega corpo that tries to get into everything.

I mean, the real problem is that Alphabet and Apple should be dismantled in littles companies by anti-trust laws. Adding another third big player will only add another corpo to the duopoly.

I like Steam because they are more upfront about what you get when you “buy” a game, but I don’t want Steam to become a mega corpo that has tentacles in every technological industries just like Google or Microsoft.

They still are a company first and foremost, and Gaben isn’t eternal. Their attitude can change as fast as getting a new CEO when Gaben steps down.

Nothing good comes out of a mega corpo getting bigger, and we have many examples of that.
