Came to make sure someone had posted Pratchett.

I think it particularly suits OP as the prose is astoundingly good. I’d never been impressed by sentence structure until reading Pratchett.

Also, for someone into non-fiction, there’s so much real world brilliance that it crosses over pretty well. (Sociology, science, politics, religion, damnit, everything. The whole human experience can be found in Pratchett’s writing.)

I’m not young but I still missed out!

100% spit cooking. The bit on the left screws into the rotating part. The other two pieces slide onto the shaft and are meant to hold the meat in place.

Definitely looks like a Klingon sex device though.

All the hockey.

There are a lot of great paying shitty jobs. Working on pipelines, any remote construction etc.

It’s a mystery! I’ll never understand why the week after yet another price hike, I quit because of the price hike. I guess I just act randomly in response to price hikes.

A few things happened pretty quickly.

During the pandemic, tech profits soared which led to massive hiring sprees. For all the press about layoffs at the big guys, I think most still have more workers than they did pre-pandemic.

Interests rates soared. Before the pandemic interest rates were ludicrously low, in other words it cost almost nothing to borrow money. This made it easier to spend on long term or unclear projects where the hope seemed to be “get enough users, then you can monetize.” Once interest rates rose, those became incredibly expensive projects, so funding is now much more scarce. Companies are pulling back on bigger projects or, like reddit, trying to monetize them faster. Startups are also finding it harder, so fewer jobs.

And of course, AI. No one is quite sure how much that’ll change the game but some folks think most programmers will be replaceable, or at least 1 programmer will be able to do the work of several. So, rather than hire and go through everything severance etc might entail, I think a lot of companies are taking a wait and see approach and thus not hiring.

Ahaha, dang I got so excited before google pointed out I’m an idiot and meant season 4. (But on the other hand, did find out it was renewed for a 4th, so that’s groovy!)

I think of it like those people are subsidizing my free content.

If no one subscribes, we don’t get Love, Death and Robots season 3 4!

Like everyone else says, depends what you want.

If you can afford it, Vancouver is amazing (though, I am a biased Vancouverite.) In a good season, there are local ski mountains about 30 or 40 minutes from downtown, Whistler is a couple hours away. There’s awesome food all over the place, the underground scene is a blast and even some of the licensed etc venues can be pretty awesome. In the summer, everyone wants to be outside and if you’re into sporty stuff, there’s a boatload to do. The weather is generally pretty mild (though climate change is messing with that.)

The transit system can be amazing, depending on where you live. (In the suburbs, like most other cities, it’s kind of trash.) But there are trains, rapid busses etc if you live near any hub. And of course, bike paths galore!

Thanks for supporting and thus making it available for others!

Gotta love the “everyone I disagree with is a shill/bootlicker” playbook.

And my local mosque isn’t the sole representation for all Muslims, but if I falsely claimed they advocated rape, I’d be being pretty bigoted.

At least be consistent; you got annoyed when I pointed out that the articles you posted show that rape is absolutely not an Israeli government position. But this comment takes the opposite tack.

As you grow up, hopefully you’ll learn that reality is a thing and not just whatever suits the argument at hand.

Bye.

And to your larger point, you are welcome to create your own server or community and allow whomever to say whatever they’d like, regardless of how bigoted or incorrect they might be!

As many have said, this isn’t a fediverse problem, nor is it a suggestion to improve the fediverse, this is a you complaining about mods doing what the commubity expects of them.

Have a good night.

So if someone commits a crime, fair to accuse them of all crimes?

That part is still claiming you made a factual claim. And that part is still incorrect.

So, I noted that it is wildly inaccurate and far from a factual claim.

You can’t posit something reprehensible, a few paragraphs later decide you might be wrong and then be annoyed when people correct your original claim.

Well, you’re arguing that there’s some wider conspiracy etc. And in public discourse, ehhhhhh it’s more a very tricky line to walk.

But if you’re not talking in response to why this person has their comment removed, then it doesn’t seem particularly relevant.

It reminds me of when people are talking about the latest police killing of an unarmed Black man and a right winger comes in to talk about Black on Black violence statistics, not particularly relevant and it feels like they’re doing it to demonize the group in question.

You had multiple comments, I responded one at a time. In future, I’d just delete or edit the original. I’m not going to track down and check each thread you may have participated in etc.

Because I don’t think it’s cool to accuse the Israeli government of having a policy of rape? Jesus, get a grip kid.
