People miss a lot more obvious shit these days, but it’s still disappointing.

It doesn’t help that there’s just an onslaught of fucked up news coming out of the USA which makes it all more difficult to keep up with. “Flood the zone with shit” is working well and the US barely has any real journalism left to counter it. I actually find CBC here in Canada covers what’s going on better than any news corp in the country it reports on which is funny in a depressing way

What are you using the old x86 timing functionality for, or rather what would it be needed for?

edit: I’m not trying to be a dick or be interrogative, I’m genuinely asking.

Lack of commute is the only reason I took an in office job again too. I’ve spent like 7 out of 8 years of my career working from home and I really didn’t think I’d ever be convinced to go back but my new job’s office is under 10 minutes away by bike and I get at least one day a week to work from home. It’s officially 4 days a week in office but my manager is really relaxed about that requirement if my work is getting done

A movie of such quality and esteem such as Troll 2 does not need to explain itself

I TOLD YOU NOT TO TALK ABOUT GOBLINS

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
