Muted in the English world. I argue junk food commercials draw a lot of parallels with cigarette commercials of the past. For some reason obesity isn’t worth prevention so the advertisements are pretty gross.

Soft drinks. Coca Cola especially really loves to tie emotions and sports/holidays to sugar water.

If it was actually AI sure.

This is an unthinking machine algorithm chewing through mounds of stolen data.

Not sure anyone really knows yet. I’m a pessimist by nature, so there’s blind spots and I freely admit them.

How? Probably not via voting in 2028 or holding a sign. As in, not within the pre-existing failing/failed system. This one isn’t gonna recover.

After the people are in charge of the smouldering ashes, you can start from scratch! The one upside. Assuming USA doesn’t just submit passively and end up like Russia with a broken people for centuries, which is what I’m expecting.

Copy Canadians. Including the limits on campaign length, so your news cycle isn’t so endlessly exhausting. No wonder 1/3rd have totally tuned out. IMO scrap FPTP like we didn’t have the balls to do.

I love the stuff, but it’s an odd choice for a candy all about flavor variety.

anise / fennel have a lingering aftertaste. Maybe Glycyrrhiza glabra too? Idk.

Fedecan is solid. basically the current Canadian instances work together as a somewhat joint network now.

I like mine, the admin is TheDude and I like their Dude inspired attitude. Piracy allowed here too not just dbzer0, which is why my new emulation community is there.

It’s a toss up, but dbzer0 is more overt which is appealing. I’d go with them if I wasn’t in Canada

Shitjustworks is very laid back in a Canadian way, and the domain name scares away prudes/puritans which is something I value like yourself.

Unfortunately, Canada too. Very annoying.

Obligatory opportunistic vulture prostelizying comment with zero truth value below the article goes here.

God I hope so, I’m gunning for the goal anyways.

On extended fasts you need some minerals mixed in with some daily drinking water. That’s just what the internet went with as the name for it at the time. Some meathead youtuber coined it lol. His mix is outdated info these days.

Yep.

It’s quite handy considering there’s a desktop app too. So I also use it as an alternative to stuff like syncing OS clipboards between various computers, since the idea of Microsoft having access to mine gives me the ick.

Oooh a block-based editor, for an over-thinker I bet that’s like crack haha.

Glad you discovered ways to organize your noisy mind. I’ll have to share Capacities with a dear friend who has a mind more like yours.

I use Joplin mostly with a two way NAS sync, but it’s not usually profound for me. Doesn’t really include my day to day experience, and acts more like an external memory bank and junk drawer.

Looks like this.

Really I’ve been relying heavily on Signal’s note to self feature, while Joplin is more long form in my case.

Didn’t know that :/ Hmm might switch myself then and delete my recc.

Something is, since conservatives appear to be the same organization operating globally now.

But I really think they’re opportunists mostly just dumbly copy catting each other with se exceptions.

Mind virus.

That’s cool, I hope ONLYOFFICE gets some love one day too. I vastly prefer the GUI at least in the word processor. Also open source.

note I’m only using it for writing, can’t speak to the rest of the suite

Well it’ll be at a big 'ol church, need the organ. At least, it was in Calgary last year.

The USA part of the tour appears to be over from what I can gather.

There’s two extremes and the gradient between as I see it. One end of the scale follows their own code primarily and only respects laws they disagree with out of fear of social contract violations and the punishments. The other group follows and enforces all law without much critical thought about who is writing them and why. Unjust or not they don’t seem to care. Then your middle grounders.

Partners and I have always been pretty strongly on the “our own code is primary” side. Probably because I wouldn’t find someone with the other mindset attractive.

So, it really depends on what they did exactly. If I agree with them, I’m not saying shit. Although if I’m upset or not depends if we talked about it or not. If I’m just getting surprised by this, the sneaky secrecy behind my back would risk the relationship more than anything likely.

Tax fraud I wouldn’t be okay with, so if they went and did it anyways or didn’t talk to me about it beforehand that’s game over.
