As someone who lives in Canada, same here. I’ve been in the past (IE. Pre-Trump) and it was lovely but I probably won’t go again. In our household we don’t even buy American products or shop in American stores anymore if we can possibly help it.

I know a lot of people who do the same too. I don’t think the US has quite grasped yet how much it has pissed Canada off, and how long the road is going to be to start fixing that up, if they even want to try. Certainly at the moment they seem to be set on making it worse and worse each day.

Also there’s AM in case that one doesn’t work out.

I’m the same with systemd. I’m aware it gets a lot of hate from people but I dunno, seems fine to me. It’s never given me any trouble that I can think of.

If AI can get to the point where it can make, say, a coherent half-hour TV show, I wonder if we’ll end up going full-circle back to the days when TV shows had like 25 episode seasons and were on almost all the time?

Or it’ll just surpass that because it never needs to take a break so a TV show will have a new episode every 3 days forever or something like that.

The Simpsons too. Not that the first few seasons are bad, but they’re definitely rough and it really doesn’t fully hit its stride until maybe season 4 or so IMO.

I’m still so mad about Kaos.

That’s pretty much how cats fight, and there are plenty of scary animals that won’t fuck with cats lol.

It’s like that old meme about how Luke is a desert farmer who is given weapons and radicalized by a bearded man in a cave, then goes off to a militia training camp and eventually blows up a government installation.

My favourite one (it happens a lot in the UK and I assume in other places too) is when people say things like “I support the cause but the protest is really disruptive.”

Like no shit, that’s the entire point of a protest. They also sometimes complain about strikes being inconvenient for them. Oh, is this strike illustrating to you why this service is essential and it would be bad if it went away?

One time when I used to be on reddit I had an argument with someone who was against a climate protest because it could have blocked an ambulance and gotten someone killed. But this was after the protest had already happened and that had not occurred. So you don’t support it because of a hypothetical disaster that you just made up, that already didn’t happen? People, man

Not OP but I made a little menu thing for launching VMs and a script for grabbing trailers for downloaded movies that reads the name of the folder, finds the trailer and uses yt-dlp to grab it, puts it in the folder and renames it.

I’ve also heard it referred to as PICNIC: Problem In Chair, Not In Computer.

I genuinely use Floorp as my main daily browser lol
