The whole “answer this trivia question” gatekeeping is dumb.

But the unreasonable metalhead in me also wants all band shirts to have been bought at a show, so maybe I’m a bit guilty too.

My order of operations is Canadian -> European -> Anywhere else on the planet -> Decide if I actually need the thing or not -> Chinese -> American.

I do industrial programming. Everything is so far behind that yelling at the “computers” does nothing. Physical violence is just about the only thing they respect.

Ok, I now need a screensaver that I can tie to a cloudflare instance that visualizes the generated “maze” and a bot’s attempts to get out.

Does Greenpeace even have any assets they could be made to pay with if they wanted to?

Orcas are the biggest of the dolphins, and they are nightmare fuel for anything they decide is food.

Are you a great white shark that just smelled an orca? Better nope out to the other side of the planet before the orca eats your liver.

Are you a seal just swimming along? Oops, an orca just yeeted you 30 ft into the air with a tail slap, and is going to eat your stunned ass when you land.

Are you a smart seal who thinks they’re safe on the ice? Nope. Orcas will break up the ice and knock you off using waves.

Are you a grown ass moose casually going for a swim without a worry in the world? Forgot about one of your only natural predators. Now you’ve been eaten by an orca.

It’s like Canada has switched from embracing our polite and slightly passive aggressive British side, to embracing our “fuck the consequences and fuck you” not-so-polite French side.

I’m here for it. I think we should start doing all official communication with the US in French. After all, it is one of our official languages, and I’m feeling awfully petty.

Nah, it won’t piss off any of them. They’ll do whatever mental gymnastics they have to keep their worldview intact.

“second fastest growing channel in cable television” eh? I guess that means they got one new viewer while everything else went negative.

Because eating the rich will accomplish nothing if you don’t also change the underlying system that created them in the first place. And good luck getting everyone in the non-rich class to agree on what that change should look like.

That’s fine. The courts will just toss it.

Might not. I assume there’s some sort of penalty clause built into the contract, so there shouldn’t be much to sue about unless Ford tries to find a way to not pay that penalty.

I very specifically don’t want my security tied to my device. Trying to migrate to new phones, and keeping things synced between a phone, desktop, and laptop is why I long ago moved to a password manager. Now, especially in the phone space, getting passkeys to function fully with a password manager ranges from “pain in the ass” to “not actually possible”.

Passkeys are a great idea, but everyone involved seems like they want the process to be as much of a pain in the dick as possible. So until the industry pulls it’s collective head out of its collective ass (not going to hold my breath on that one), it’ll be passwords+2FA for me.

You have absolutely no clue how any part of our economy works, do you? Even if we could change the rules with a snap of our fingers, it still wouldn’t happen instantly since the actual physical capacity does not yet exist.

That’s not the kind of thing you can do instantly, and it’s definitely not the kind of thing you do while publicly shouting about it.

He already hates Trudeau and is taking it out on Canada. There’s not a whole lot more he’s going to be able to do without pissing off all his non-russian masters.

To this day, I will not drive directly behind a logging truck because of that scene.

Gotta have an in-group and an out-group. Might as well have the most blindly obedient, and least critically thinking people as part of your in-group.
