I tried both and I prefer cryptpad cause it has better functionality, just takes longer to load on my devices.

Well that’s kind of adorable. I hope all the employees start bringing their dogs.

I used to always wear someone else’s name tag because I got a kick out of them calling me by random names

You know what, you might be joking, but this seems legit.

Here’s the clip

Sorry idk how to do a piped link. There’s lots of stories about it if you look up her name, Aishah Hasnie.

Let’s be real, since when has the US ever done anything that is easier or safer for their citizens?

Have you watched the videos? Nobody at his table reacts (or rather they react very slowly). The SS gets Vance to safety first, and they take 21 seconds to get to Trump. I’m not an expert, but as I’ve seen a military person describe, this is astonishingly long.

In addition, there’s weird things like one of the fox reporters talking on air about how Carolyn Levitt’s husband was telling her they had to “keep her safe” or something, and the phone call was mysteriously dropped.

Carolyn’s comments about “shots will be fired” before the event

The fact that Trump has always avoided going to this event, like he had no previous interest in it at all

The fact that it was an EXTREMELY secure event and the shooter wasn’t shot down immediately, and somehow got through all that security with several weapons?

The way they just continued ahead with the event… Like no if anyone expected that there even an inkling of real trouble they would have shut it down immediately.

And that IMMEDIATELY after it happened, right wing influencers started posting about why the ballroom needs to be secure (which it is speculated was the whole reason for this debacle)

I’m sure more concrete evidence will come out in the future but they’ve done this dumb shit enough that it’s pretty safe take speculative evidence at face value, and even if not, it’s then a story of the boy who called wolf.

Yeah same. I’ve been in Canada for 26 years and I dont feel like I belong at home (Mexico) or here.

No thoughts or advice, I’m just always trying to find where I belong.

I mean, you are technically still benefiting from the racist systems set up by the elite even if you are working class, so you’re still technically (unwittingly) participating in it. But you can (and should) still do your best to not actively advance the system.

There is only one planet name that deserves mocking. That godawful Earth.

Ampersand is such a fun word

Oh wow. I have a pair of ray bans that I picked up from my old bar’s lost and found after they sat for a few months. They have a crack on one of the lenses but I can’t see it when I wear them and nobody has ever noticed it. I didn’t realize they’re supposed to be that indestructible, but I guess I have had them for probably 10 years and have never been terribly careful with them.

Yes you are valid. There is a microlabel that you may relate to, if you’re looking for it:

Reciprosexuals don’t feel sexual attraction until they know someone is attracted to them first. This can create a dynamic where attraction follows mutual interest rather than leading it, different from most other orientations.

But ace is ace is ace is ace. If you identify as being on the ace spectrum, you are valid. If you change your mind later, you were (and are) still valid. You do you boo.

The french fucked up cause they didn’t have option 1 as the follow-up to option 3.

I’m going to spoiler tag this because it’s a slur but I’ve always found this one the most comical

My optometry was covered for up to $400/2 yrs through my job which is pretty standard (also garbage). I got lasik for $4k and my healthcare covered $25. How is that cheaper for them than $400 every 2 years for the rest of my life?

Also, fuck privatized healthcare and all the provincial governments that are making it harder for public healthcare.

Agree with other person that replied. Most people with healthcare through their job were already covered by basic plans (“job perk”). It’s fine I guess as long as our teeth are getting dealt with!

Would love to see optometry up here next.

I listen to audiobooks while doing something mindless like cross stitching, a mindless game, or chores. It keeps my brain from drifting or going into autopilot.

It might also help to find podcasts or commentary that breaks down the books, but also read the books before or after. Those types of breakdowns will usually connect the theory with current examples, which helps reinforce the learning.

Was he not injured? Why did they do the weird AI shit?

I want to understand the comment process from misogynistic asshole to read Lenin
