The distinction at between operating systems is in 2023 pretty negligible in practice. Most people work on some kind of UNIX on Windows/Mac/Linux. OS tinkering/distrohopping tends to be an anti-pattern, a waste of time/n

How is he? Literally campaigned on turning US into EU/Scandinavia? Anti-establishment is the going currency, you could say the same for Biden's rhetoric.

"Drain the swamp" leftists are separate category to DSA members and almost nonexistent post-COVID (RFK JR. maybe). Is this beyond explanation why someone would do that?

Strathcona is charming and colourful. I don't necessarily agree with the "colour clash" idea above but Canada exemplifies "bad architectural era" like no other country due to fewer legacy buildings. We have to live

2x drinks at a happy hour isn't successful alcoholism, that's just a lack of cultural stigma. I also slightly doubt casual cocaine won't catch up with you eventually, might take years. Stimulants are generally work friendly a

Yeah, I think post Trump 2016, CBC took a very activist-oriented approach which hemorrhaged their cultural trust. They got pushback and then dug in further. There’s no self reflection at all.

Regardless the trucker topics, the dispute around media bias is very solid to me. We have a good deal less variety than the US, CBC is very “metric” driven, click bait. It is kind of like if NPR was the main source of news for everyone. Reg

I think the chiclet keys are an ergonomic silver-bullet - RSI probably comes from years of us typing on deep keys in high keyboards.
