Yeah that’s my reaction when I noticed… oddly just when I read your comment. Fuck Murdoch’s publications.

Thank you for helping me see it.

I want to add, sometimes there are good (or semi accurate) articles but having to do the checks on their reporting sucks balls and not in the fun way.

Yeah like if I was them I’d arm with offerings and give the middle finger when they asked for action. They are owed for being ignored and left to fend for themselves (as I state later my understanding of the situation is almost nil, but you don’t keep allies by screwing them over) by what they thought was an ally. But everything is transactional with the memory of a goldfish for this administration.

I’ll say I don’t know the situation there well at all, maybe accepting whatever is offered with the suggested actions is in their best interest. I hope they can make a decision that doesn’t screw them over in the long run (not by their choice for sure to be clear), whatever is needed. Mean being on the wrong side of the CIA has never helped many either. Conflicts suck and it’d be nice if we could figure out how to resolve things peacefully, though I guess that idea belongs in a fairytale these days.

When you can justify your actions due to a fuzzy theological belief it’s quite silly. I am an atheist but if there is a god, he gave us the power of reasoning and logic. Then if there is that, why is there any logic to disobey one of ten major rules for humans to live by? He put them in a rock according to the story, wasn’t like hidden words needed to be seen by lemon juice or something. They are quite pronounced in the Bible, so why can thry think don’t kill people doesn’t apply to them?

God sent one kid, why not another if an amendment was needed in the killing but?

In very early 2000s my friends and I used to comment on water appearance in games. If I saw Black Flag ocean then I’d have probably shit myself. Really water was a benchmark between us still recall it on the amd 9500

Mean there are more poor people so…sort of?

Yes I know the social equallibriam of it all, but only the people can change it too. Never thought I’d see the US fall so quickly in my lifetime and hopefully people will realize that.

I’m also Canadian so can’t do much else but post about it.

Being Canadian I was so wondering at prices in the states (from tv, movies) during the early 90s. You’d see a greasy spoon diner have breakfast for like $3.50 in them, usually closer to $6-7 up here for the same (noticbly more after exchange rate). The crappy fast food milkshakes were like $4 minimum let alone a theme restraunt with Steve Buscemi as a waiter.

Though I do often use the inflation calculation when I see a price from the 90s and earlier these days just to make sure I got the right perspective on cost.

I’ve had that thought for decades, like they do (or used to) do a button to switch between the last channel. So you’d go to each channel and flip at a commercial. Then forget to switch back so you saw two half episodes but that’s not really an issue with a volume setting.

I always get my isp outers as pass through so network is controlled by my entry. I have never bothered doing much with it but it’s nice to have the option.

I used to use a ddwrt firmware for years but eventually my hardware could never keep up with my net speeds and manufacture firmware was faster. Trying an Omada network now seems alright but haven’t added their wifi.

Makes sense cause I always thought Trump was made with a second anus for the amount of verbal shit he spews.

The correct response anytime he opens his anus…sorry I mean mouth, mouth.

Sometimes I do…most times I’d have preferred better comments but by now I can rewrite it better anyways. So no need for further comments…

Yeah definitely take precautions "points to Ukraine*, never know when a neighbor will have too much vodka. Or don’t but think Canada has a better chance if NATO is on the ball.

I grew up in northern Canada, snow days may have happened but most I recall is busses not running (probably not physical issue but safety issues if something happened) after -40 so little use in going to school cause least half the kids needed the rural busses to get in so teachers adjusted lesson plans accordingly.

I guess even growing up I always wished it wasn’t so cold outside but the not having school days was fun to stay inside, I hated the atmosphere there but loved learning still.

Eventually I learned to tell myself, ‘one thing at a time’ (mean mentally but when I realize I’m wanting to do two things at once) it doesn’t always work but does better when in the middle of single task like clean the kitchen. As opposed to juggling the garage and kitchen cleaning because you started running to both. Though I guess it works well there too. Start on something? Do that, heh yes I know but if you remind yourself your brain may realize one day.

Actually mostly used to happen from coming inside, dealing with grabbing some water, washing hands and putting a few things in the kitchen away, I kept half washing hand before moving on and would try an optimize some putting away with cleaning then drop something cause wet hands. Once I kept reminding myself for awhile the tasks went smoother without wanting everything done 5 seconds ago.

Dunno if this is useful to others but figured I’d share cause without some effort my mind will put me on that path.

Yes let’s just fix this green circuit area…oh one more input…can stick some smelters here for a temporary measure, crap need to get this belt over for a new row…been awhile since I played but assume calling the first circuits green still works.

Never thought that’s why I may have worked well for me. Always something to do and in the end it needs to be done to increase production. Well sort of until you just have outposts do everything and turn it into train simulator… My favourite stage, always highways of track with good signals that don’t block, with tons of bots.

Also never played with biters I was so glad when they removed killing them for science.

There were mentions that he wrote his own speech from others. From what I understand it’s probably true since that would be his regular type of conference as a head banker previously. I’ll be honest haven’t listened to it or know a lot about Carney but this is what I’ve gleened in comments about his speech. Guess I knew about his banker credentials before and he helped us through the 08 crisis which Canada went through decently. Though I had no idea who he was until the leader of the liberal party

From everything I’ve read about his speech, which I will listen to at some point, makes me feel better with him in charge if we aren’t going to be more progressive.

Hopefully it pans out as the neighbor. But I still totally agree with that statement even if it fucks us, then if it does but we won’t roll over quietly…I hope. Fascists cannot be appeased, let alone toddler narcissists who want their next soother. Someone needs to put that baby to bed. Placating but not appeasing them I mean, like you do a fussy toddler, not saying violence. No teaching this toddler but sometimes they can understand their place and stop making as big of a fuss and have a minor one when he doesn’t get his diet coke.

It’s on Merriam webster site as a word, what’s your question?

I read it a few times but I realized there was more to get from it cause I sort of sped read through some (dry) parts the first time. This was back in the mid 2000s when there was less relevant information for us in North America at the time. Nowadays it needs to be brought in for any decent curriculum, though I don’t think the fascists would approve that.

Course in the US there’s a lot less demanding of education for reasons like this book, you understand what can lead to our current situation and see how harmful it is. Heaven forbid the common folk understand propaganda like they show. Any truly great society would relish in their citizens being well educated and informed of such things to make better progress going forward.
