Calling parents who can afford to help their kids out as the new "aristocrat" class is a bit of a stretch.

I got a huge help with my down payment from my parents. But they are by no means "landed" wealthy class people. Years later they barely had enough to retire and i'm trying to help them where i can.

Dont let the 0.1% distract you by shifting blame to other working class people. Yes, people who got big help from their parents, but we're not old money.

If i was a manager and someone turned down a raise/bonus because "tax" reasons, i would seriously evaluate my own managerial skills....

Like, how did i not notice this person is a complete moron and why did i offer them a raise?

Suicide linux. Nobody can run it for more than a day

Edit: i just searched "suicide linux" to see if it still exists and one of the top results was ian murdock's wiki page, :(

Sorry, when i said "meme" i didnt mean that IEHPs were not factually true

My point is that we've KNOWN for decades that this talent pool exists, but we didnt do anything about it until too late.

Because immigrant doctors driving cabs has been a meme for as long as i've been alive and we didnt do anything about it until the system is on the verge of collapse

I'm doing my part!

I used to go to my local loblaws chain almost exclusively because it is so convenient (like, literally across the street). For months now i have actively made an effort to avoid them at all costs. So that's thousands of dollars revenue gone for them

At the same time, i'm getting higher quality food from elsewhere

I count myself very lucky to have the resources to escape the clutches of the westons (and metro/empire). I realize many dont have the means to do the same and we need to do better to give everyone more options

Steam has been so easy since proton, i honestly never learned to use lutris. I think i played with it once and gave up, but this was 6 years ago at this point. Maybe its easier to use now

If we could somehow merge steam's linux support, with GOG's dedication to DRM-free preservation of games

I really tried to support GOG for a long time, but steam was much easier when i went 100% linux

We took away two important descending tools from the riders

  1. Supertuck
  2. Fake aero bars/puppy paws (i hate that term, carlton)

Do you think that riders would take less risk on turns if they could still do supertuck? Or would riders supertuck AND take big risks on hairpins?

Not blaming Mader or saying he took risks. But the incident made me think about risk management
