Oh my god. This is why I voted for him and it made me regret voting for him.
And now he regrets it too? I mean I suppose that's kind of a good thing but I think mentioning it now just opens an old wound and pisses me off.
Even from a narcissistic point of view, getting a fair vote system would have made him be remembered as a notable PM forever. We'd actually have elections we enjoy voting in.
I've had USB-C devices since my first Nexus 6p in 2015. Every charger I've ever had still works. I've had one cord fail in all that time. While USB-C has its flaws, durability isn't one of them for me.
I've been wanting to as well out of nostalgia but I know it will be bad by today's standards, or even adult standards in general.
So I'm not going to do it.... Yet.
I just bought this after playing satisfactory and I love the optimism in this game.
I'm so into it. Sure you can tell it's made by a small team but I couldn't tell it was made by 2 people. I don't like playing with mods but this one worked well with them to get rid of a bit of storage monotony.
This is like someone standing in Times Square saying, "I don't go to New York or tourist destinations!"
Why are you here? How did you manage to get here?
I definitely prefer premium over my personal data being the product for "free".
As I get older I'm appreciating paid electronic services and content when done responsibly in exchange for a private ad-free and well done experience. But it's taking a lot to get over my decades of conditioning assuming everything on a computer and internet should be "free".
I've enjoyed my kagi premium search trial and seeing the prices is a bit much. But getting really good search results and having the webpage or search run so fast and seeing my ad blocker greyed out because there were no ads and trackers to block is surreal this day and age.
I just wish we had a better way of trusting telegram. The only thing encrypted by default is secret chats. I'd buy premium if it made all chats including group chats started by the user encrypted by default.
I'd like to keep my hopes up. But communities that are based on where a person lives dont select for people of the same ideology or interests except for the fact that they are interested in the same place. So I expect these Calgary ones to eventually be similar.
In a community about a favourite game or hockey team or hobby, everyone is on the same side and has a lot in common and the topics are light. A city has far more complex issues than the average hobby and opinions vary wildly.
Let's watch and see.
Prosperity doesn't make fertility drop, it makes it less necessary to have children because:
- Parents don't need to have 5 children just for 1 or 2 to survive.. people can have 1 or 2 children and expect them to survive now.
- Adults don't need children to survive. Before people expected their children to help them survive when they are elderly so the kids can work the farm and the grandparents can babysit grandkids in their multigenerational home. Now nursing homes can take care of your needs after saving enough money.
- Now that women are gaining equal rights, they can choose to be other things than just a mother or a wife. Life can be full and satisfying without kids now.
But I do agree people can feel that working and being a mother is too much, and decide not to have kids as well.
Too bad for them I guess. I'll be engaging on here exclusively.
This whole episode had so many great skits and quips. They've been on fire!
