Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.

Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.

  • What’s a cheap purchase that’s completely changed your life?

    Jump

  • Heh, thirding bidet. I'm still working through the stock of toilet paper I bought as a joke when Covid first hit and everyone was panicking about toilet paper, I bought the bidet right after that and realized I'd be taking a looong time getting through that.

    It's handy for lots of other stuff too, if I ever need to quickly rinse something the bathtub's right next to the toilet so I can hold it there and give it a blast.

  • How do I keep a brand new one of these mats from wanting to keep curling up on the ends?

    Jump

  • Yes. I addressed that. Fasten it to flat pieces of stiff material, not to the floor. The stiff material keeps it from curling but can be moved.

    Jump

  • I addressed that. I'm not proposing fastening it to the floor.

  • Carney says he expects U.S. to 'respect Canadian sovereignty' after Alberta separatists meet with Trump team

    Jump

  • The fact that he is saying this means that he already believes that. There'd be no need to say it otherwise. He's just being a proper diplomat by saying it diplomatically.

  • Alberta is Canadian. We're staying here.

    If you wish to join Canada, there's an immigration process.

    Jump

  • Use carpet tape (double-sided tape that's meant for sticking rugs to the floor) to fasten stiff squares of material to the undersides of the corners. The stiff material will keep it from curling, but it won't be stuck down to the floor so you can still move it.

  • Bush II killed a million people and destabilized the Middle East.

  • Trump officials have met with Canadian separatist group that wants to break off from rest of country, report says

    Jump

  • BC is Canadian. You can't "include it" any more than you can take Alberta.

    Feel free to split up the United States however you like, that's your business, but Canada's staying Canadian.

  • Will they wake up before it's too late?

    Jump

  • They didn't.

  • It’s Time for Concrete Action on ICE. Sadly, We Have the Democrats.

    Jump

  • Of course, my mistake. The American electorate is helpless before the power of their elected officials.

    Jump

  • It all comes down to the electorate. America is getting the government it's voting for.

  • It always makes news when the "Doomsday Clock" is moved by a second or minute. What would actually happen if it got to 00:00

    Jump

  • Would make a good premise for a Fallout-style post-apocalyptic RPG. The quest is to reach the Doomsday clock and set it to 00:00.

  • Doug Ford thinks it's "fantastic" that we're equipping ICE

    Jump

  • I mean, if the Americans are going to destroy themselves in a paroxysm of racist insanity, might as well make a little money selling them the tools they're using to hit themselves in the nuts with?

  • Is Canada Ready for an American Civil War? | The Walrus

    Jump

  • All my life - and for generations before my life - the Americans have been puffing themselves up about their intent and even eagerness to resist tyranny. Cold dead fingers, tree of liberty being watered, home of the brave, etc..

    Who am I to deny them their moment to finally shine?

  • Why can people see who upvotes and who downvoted post on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Can't see who downvoted, though. I've actually considered switching instances over this since that's the most important thing to "be serious" with, it'd be nice if people were more judicious with their downvotes and having them be an obvious public thing might make people think twice about that. But the whole upvote/downvote thing in general just seems like a broken concept to me a this point and I don't care all that much about it.

  • Why can people see who upvotes and who downvoted post on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Depends on the instance, mine is an mbin instance but the upvotes and downvotes are hidden.

    I remember coming across a site where you could put in a Fediverse URL and it would tell you who had upvoted and downvoted it, presumably it had an instance in the background that was tracking all that.

  • Canada has no intent of pursuing free trade deal with China, says PM after Trump threat

    Jump

  • It's worth explaining to Canadians, though. Explaining to Trump is somewhat of a Socratic method for announcing simple concepts to the world.
