  • Keeping it a single state means fewer senators. Not that Canada is like a communist haven or anything, but they're FAR from our MAGA bullshit and they don't wanna dilute the power they've accumulated in that chamber of congress.

    Also, Canada would be the 3rd or 4th highest GDP in the US if it became a single state. California and Texas have it solidly beat. NY is neck and neck with Canada.

  • The "Don't talk to me until I've had my Clam-o-naise" mug is tempting me.

  • Not worth it.

    It's almost the absolute worst of humanity made anonymous and public. "Almost" is only there because they will delete blatantly illegal content like cp, but anything else goes. Overt racism becomes normalized because people engage with it so it keeps getting bumped to the top. Some legitimately mean it, some are just trolling for the lolz, but either way it desensitizes people and normalizes the view.

    Repeat for any other kind of bigotry or harmful view you can imagine.

    In terms of real people behind the accounts

    One of the defining features of 4chan is the lack of accounts. Most posts are anonymous. Even harder to tell if someone is human or bot when you can instantly just roll a new anon ID.

  • "Arch isn't a difficult distro! All you need to do is run pacman -Syu now and then! Even my grandma could handle it!"

    (Which is true until something goes wrong and now you're way more on the hook to un-fuck the system than just about anything that could ever go wrong on a Debian or Fedora based distro)

  • Kansas is fucking weird because they do shit like this but also voted to make abortion a constitutional right in the state.

  • Less than half of Americans have a passport, and that's the only form of national ID we have. We have 50 different state IDs, but iirc only 3 of them show proof of citizenship.

  • Proof of citizenship is already required to register, bringing proof to the voting booth is the extra hurdle this act brings.

  • TOML

  • Yeah, it really is. A plaintext document that generates an entire OS?

  • But it can be "software I forgot I installed and consumes resources despite me not really using it"

  • My budget is rigid where the expenses are rigid (mortgage, daycare, utility bills) and fluid where the expenses are fluid (eating out, date nights, video games)

  • Labor has value. You have access to some amount of labor each week that you value at [your salary]. Your employer values your labor at [some higher value, because they only pay you if they believe you'll bring in more money than you cost] and thus "wins" at the trade.

  • It's also the French word for rooster (though spelled "coq" in that language). If these kids are learning multiple languages at once, that could cause some confusion, given how often French and English overlap.

  • There's a big difference between a $100 sound system and a $1000 sound system. I've gotten the "audiophiles are dumb" lecture for suggesting someone upgrade from 2x4" computer speakers to actual studio monitors for working on their music. But their speakers literally could not reproduce some of the frequencies thru were trying to make, so they mixed the bass WAY the fuck too loud.

    But yeah, diminishing returns start to kick in around that point. Quickly becomes the eternal story of a Fool and His Money.

  • I don't want president Gavin Newsom either, but I don't see how anyone could possibly think "A reality TV businessman billionaire who's BLUE on the TV charts is what this country needs right now"

  • God fucking damn it, you're telling me he's getting cryogenically process and is coming back in 900 years to terrorize my Great^30 Grandchildren?

  • At this point, who are we trying to convince? Nobody who's still defending the guy is going to change their mind no matter the logic you use towards them.

    I'm fully in support of "throw wrenches in their attempts to do things" instead.

  • There is something to be said for the friction in bringing someone new into the role. Nobody is ever as effective in their first few weeks as they are a year into the job.

    There's no way her replacement would be good, but a revolving door makes things more difficult for him.

  • "Weird people are more fun to hang out with"
