Also hilarious that they’re complaining about the jaywalking laws in China when they’re only just catching up to the level of stupidity that the US has had for ages.

Like shit, American companies coined the term jaywalking ffs

Is your ballot tied to you though? I guess that’s the confusing part to me because when we go to vote, we just show our voting card (or ID, or mail with address and name, or have someone vouching for you) and get given a generic slip of paper we put an X on and fold up before putting into a box. Nobody looks at it until the box is emptied and counted when polls close. Even with voter registration data I can’t see how it’s possible to trace a vote back to you without there being a really conveniently placed security camera

Do American voters have their name tied to their vote? It’s completely anonymous in Canada

I’d argue we’re still just throwing (highly processed) rocks but much much faster using gunpowder to accelerate them through the tube of handheld devices

I think I’d be okay with that. I’ve setup my keyboard so that FN+wasd act as arrow keys and I will occasionally use them that way in my editor even if I primarily use vim style movement

The US is such a backwards place

He has “concepts of a casus belli”

I enjoyed it so it was a good use of my screen space which zeroes out your criticism :)

Could be a Canadian too haha. We unfortunately inherit some Americanisms here

And his wife still thinks he was stupid for that

Murrell joked that he preferred the employees receiving the bonus over his wife getting “a new fur coat”.

“She still looks at me like I’m stupid, but I thought it was worth it,” Murrell was quoted as saying by Fortune. “They worked so hard. They were so overwhelmed.”

Thanking service members has always been fucking weird from a non-American point of view

Maybe but you give them an inch and in a few years the ads will be targeted

What kinds of housing are Texas and Florida building?

That’s actually fucking absurd wow. I was in the Canadian Air Cadets as a kid and even then I didn’t see that level of recruiting. Like even when doing Cadet basic training on an actual air base, it was always just learning drill, shooting, and about how planes worked. I’ve never in my life been asked or had it suggested to me that I join the military

That’s crazy but not really surprising to me anymore for the States I guess. I think I’ve only ever seen an army recruiter once in my life and it was a booth at a convention semi recently

Do military recruiters actually just cold call (well, text) you like that in the US?

Based on the other comments Jere I’d suggest black electrical tape over the eyes first

I feel like it should fall under treason

AppImages are great! It reminds me a lot of how software is packaged on MacOS and I think it hits that perfect trifecta of powerful, simple, and easy to use

Ditto from Canada
