I just assume the world wasn't being fucked up fast enough for them so they voted in a Trump card, so to say. I so want to channel my inner Red (that 70s show) at them. Bunch of dumbasses, and even if they voted him in they can get him out of they truly wanted.

Also while listening to William Gibson's jackpot trilogy recently (think it's still unfinished) makes me keep thinking were in the run up start to the worst impacts. Mean. They voted in the guy who removed the team watching for viruses before COVID, then they again vote in the guy who's now causing an energy and economic crisis.....like it'd be nice if they didn't vote in someone that doesn't actively fuck up the entire fucking world again. Thankfully they're kneecapping themselves now but unsure how much it'll matter.

Guess the oligarchy will be happy for this to pick the bones of what is left while they live rich.

If you haven't read the novels let's just say it doesn't turn out well for the average person though it's not involved with the book plots. I do recommend them though if you enjoy sci Fi.

I'm confused, I used to sell cell phones, even did customer service for AT&T at a call center but that wouldn't be relevant to Canadian rules. I thought they couldn't increase the price on a proper contract? Or was it not a contract and Fido just increased it cause they were douches or have rules changed?

Okay I couldn't wait and looked. Guess plan price is not included so assume it's just a fancy payment plan....i was used to the standard contract but I guess I see why the budget carriers are budget now. They're generally cheaper per month still, been enjoying Koodo since I ditched Rogers cause they lied to me.

Least it's been long enough for when Koodo lies I'll feel semi okay to switch back to Rogers carriers. Cause I know that's the issue when you have standards with 2 real carriers. Unsure if Bell counts as a third since they use Telus towers but whatever.

Finding new Mozart material? Fucking awesome! For a guy who wrote his first symphony at age 8, I was playing with GI Joes and Transformers at the time.

Still trying to understand music properly at nearing 50 myself, let alone understand how to make many instruments sound well together if even not making something anyone wants to hear hundreds of years later.

Course not my profession at least just a hobby.

As probably as old as you can be for the Oregon trail generation (okay guess it goes a few years off) but never jived with the gen x feel, but I got no idea what the pics of this are from.

Mostly added the Oregon trail stuff so it was evident I was relatively close to millennial. Never felt like I fit most of the generational descriptors. And gen x said they were unnoticed heh. Wait maybe I'm a bit closer than I thought but still, no clue what the pics are from and I watched all the tv back then, except for this it appears.

Didn't that Russian cockholster of a leader just say they weren't enemies of Ukraine too? Or something similar. Funny how that works....oh no you're awesome I'd never hurt you motions to friends hurry up and get that shit ready when no one is looking

I imagine this time it was drone relays while he made that public statement. Like Russia even cares about them or their leader.

Hah that was the leader saying how awesome it's be a Russian Colonel too if I recall. Least something that sounded as odd....unless you're one of Putin's cockholsters that is. Mean to each their own but I doubt the citizens care too much for his submission.

Wow I'm not sure how old that title makes me feel..... nevermind my correct age but having to explain who George Lucas is would be very odd for a younger me. Obviously he did one of the best trilogies of all time, then....

Maybe they annoyed a media owner? Which if so makes them better in my book, but since I really dunno shrug

I played for awhile a couple years back and it was fun. I owned it for awhile before but didn't put serious time till then for whatever reason. I think the general consensus is that it definitely improved over the years since release. I never did anything but solo things too so the harder content was still nothing I checked out.

I think they got a lot of the major bugs out but given it's a fallout game there's plenty more I assume.

Last I played storage sucked without the subscription for the gathering box which is a big downside cause I love to pick up crap.

Only the lucky ones. Actually I dunno, Im mostly familiar with the spiral types, lived in one for awhile but haven't checked out many others yet. Well once had a good look at Andromeda and it was a looker for sure, but nowadays I go to sleep to early

I agree, as a Canadian even if not perfect I couldn't imagine having a pay system or even what the US calls healthcare. That's the point of taxation, we get roads that are drivable, healthcare that is affordable and stuff like food standards, clean drinking water, education. The billionaires are trying to say everyone else doesn't need such things so they can get a bigger nibble of the pie when they already have truckloads.

I knew it was a box think I first saw it when curious about a hardware kodi (say 15-18 years ago?) back when they were newer. Though I just wanted something to show me what I have in my network, never used the other streaming on it, maybe missed out I dunno.

Oh I replied cause I wanted a device/program to have a nice browsing interface for my owned files, and having a program with ads? Big nope. Mean maybe I missed out but nothing I've read seemed overly interesting when I just wanted a nice interface. Now just use a PC with Kodi for my stuff with browsers / apps for streaming, works well enough. Probably pay too many services but not the only one in the house.

If I could never see another ad I'd be so happy heh south Park flashbacks.

Every once in awhile these sort of posts make me introspective, they say almost exactly the same as my opinion about what I think of far right conservatives. Then I remember I'm not the one oppressing people and want to accept everyone as long as they don't bring intolerance.

So with wildfires in Canada there's evacuation zones near me, but I can't click on some announcement links from the main site that shows the evacuation zones because they go to twitter and you need to log in now. I think they show some on other pages on the site but they do the quicklink to the twitter announcement in the sidebar so you have to click around a bit to get to it. Yes I know the name but whatever. My point being is when the social media site that was meant for short bits of info isn't good for emergency notifications where everyone can read, it's shitty and potentially harmful.

The Republican party: please see us as the victims even if we've directly cultivated this outcome. How would we know it may cause us problems and not the Democrats? Seriously this isn't our fault, the government is only on hold due to Democrats not voting for a speaker. Send donations so we can get more Republicans to argue with next term.

Moving to non US companies seems like a good thing these days. As much as I do developer work I'm not overly knowledgeable on these types of services especially when they need to scale up to a level needed for this, but awesome to hear.

*raped, he would have raped her.

I'm sure all guys talk about how much their partner reminds them of their daughter (according to Stormy Daniels which I believe) how presidential

I know people make up names for this dude like Pee Wee Himmler and such, but this guy is a threat to democracy world wide. Apparently he's the one really behind all the boat strikes and the ICE crap. Last article I read has a comment of 'judicial insurrection' from him cause they were told they could not deploy troops to Oregon.

He thinks he's above the law, I do hope he's proven wrong but I'm not holding my breath with the state of things.

Wasn't that part of project 2025 though? So pretty much what he said he'd do? Well besides saying he knew nothing about it but that means it was expected.

I thought the actual wording (from probably other articles, didn't click on this one) was the DOJ gave her a list of names to comment on. I wonder who was absent from that list?

*Sorry if double post said there was an error

A person high up in the current US administration lie? That should be a huge scandal.....wait it's a day that ends in y. Yeah there are many more.
