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

I vaguely remember reading an article about Microsoft fully supporting the creation of ODF but only to influence its direction towards being a convuluted and limited document format so they could both argue they weren’t a monopoly and ensure their monopoly

In Canada I believe you just get given cash but nearly all of our gun violence is done with illegally smuggled guns from the USA (maybe we need a border wall? 🙂) so it doesn’t have a huge effect on it. We generally have sane laws regarding firearms so gun violence is relatively low already though.

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

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

it depends

When i was around 14 or 15, I helped do the web dev stuff for an online friend of mine who started a Minecraft server hosting company (he was a few years older than me)

It actually got pretty popular and while I just got paid in free server hosting, I was having a great time.

He just disappeared one night though which we noticed when the card he used for the bulk server reseller host failed. All the servers we were hosting for people along with the website got shut down and he was nowhere to be found online. I was talking to him pretty much all day every day so it was really weird

Its been nearly 15 years but I still wonder wtf happened to him

Yeah, but then again my Mum (boomer) and grandparents (silent gen) are left leaning, Palestine supporting/donating Canadians. Then there are people I know my age on the cusp of Millennial and Zoomer who support Israel and while not conservative are extremely politically ignorant

Generational generalisation is akin to astrology

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

It goes back to my original point though in that attacking other working class individuals based on birth year is just counterproductive infighting.

The fight needs to be brought to the rich and powerful who have had the opportunity to solve climate change and other global issus but have chosen instead to enrich themselves further by making it all worse

Of course, talk shit about any fascists you know as they all deserve their teeth kicked in but a boomer you see on the street could just as easily be a lifelong environmentalist hippie as they could be a fascist - just as anyone from any other generation could be (especially Zoomers for some unholy reason)

TL;DR is fuck billionaires and generalising is bad

Which government?

Okay, but so can a lot of boomers. Still expect to see memes about how you didn’t do anything

Generational infighting among the working class only serves the wealthy and corporations who are who we should actually be angry at.

In a decade you’ll see memes blaming your generation for not doing anything and can you actually point to anything you’ve done besides creating a meme blaming boomers?

Its a nullable field, chill. It’s exactly the same as a Linux distro installer asking for your first name for account setup and the moral outrage is genuinely embarrassing

Edit: not to mention that good system design reduces redundant data. If programs want your birthdate, they’ll either repeatedly ask you or go to a central source. If you don’t want to give out that information, you enter a null value or you put something random. The only difference is now you don’t have to repeatedly do that

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?

Given Google’s current trajectory with Android, I’m not sure the smugness is so warranted unless you either have no phone or you’re one of the few that uses a Linux mobile OS. Also, yes I know Android is based on Linux but that isn’t stopping Google from locking it down as tightly as iOS

English and some French (Canadian)
