Luckily I’d booked a massage for today with a wonderful person.

So uh… what’s the right attitude to deal with this assuming we get a Trump? And I mean personally. I lean towards absurdism.

an attack on men and women! well done @HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works

Because it’s not fun

Id expect more voting and less comments in political posts just because people may want to avoid direct conflict with other users. I’m iffy on the whole up/down thing in general though.

The key to every “killer app” on a new system, even ones that start out mimicking the old paradigm, is enabling something that couldn’t be done on the old system.

This makes me think of my biggest gripe with the social media I use and it’s the lack of feeling safe, and I don’t mean that I want to be sheltered or have content hidden from me. I’m tired of living in the giant melting pot.

Counter productive and hypocritical to put people into convenient groups like that to shield your opinions against any form of criticism. Well done, you’ve earned a block.

Sometimes it’s hard to avoid being as asshole isn’t it

How seriously does this community hate linux? Is this a fun place or an angry place?

Don’t forget to try sorting by comments instead of posts! I often forgot that button exists.

I tried to watch part 1 again tonight and I’m putting it down with about an hour left. 4k on a theatre screen with headphones and popcorn and I laughed out loud when Jessica and Paul were whispering to each other 20’ away in the mist, when the gang strode off the ship accompanied by bagpipes (“shields up!”) and that one time the Sardukar shouted “Sardukar” during the invasion. I’m done trying to understand what some people see in these movies. Absolute garbage as far as I can tell.

You’re not welcome here. Go away.

The trap where the thing you’re saying is totally valid and accurate but it’s not the thing to be talking about. I don’t know where this thinking comes from or what it’s called, but I notice it within conservative groups (probably because I’m critical by default of those ideas). It reminds me of BLM protests and how Ben Shapiro was talking about damage to property and business owners when the actual issue and discussion to be had is entirely different. It just serves to support the problematic behaviour that people are trying to change.

So yes, there was a surge in demand and they over-hired and letting people go is the right choice, but the whole situation is fucked and the optics of this kind of raise is dogshit.

Our CEO announced layoffs recently and then even more recently sent a follow up email complaining about how people were complaining about it and saying how hard it has been for the executive team. We’re a small company and I get the pain they are feeling due to financial constraints but at the end of the day we work for money and they are taking home 3-4x as much as anyone else each month while making all the decisions about how money is spent. It’s hard not to become resentful.

We have a vacancy tax in Vancouver. It works alright but could be better.

In the fall we usually get a few hours of rain and then it clears away to cloud or sun and that’s my favourite weather.

Lots of drivers pass too close and too fast, and the majority of the time they want to zoom past me only to roll stop through the next stop sign or wait for me to arrive at the crosswalk and press the light. They’ll also stop if a car is parking, or another car coming in the opposite. Nah, they can wait for me on my bike or they can use another any of the 100 roads specifically designated for them.

Though, not all the time. If I’m taking the lane it’s for a reason. It doesn’t help when drivers then use that moment to ride up right behind me. Car drivers treat bikers like shit and expect to be treated like royalty.
