I’m not all that shocked. All the Loblaws corp and Galen has is empty platitudes with the hope of making more money.

The vacuum is on and if they’re not maxing out their returns from farmers and the general public their board is calling for someone’s head. They have no mercy.

They are a cancer on this society and I wish the boycott went on forever and actually put them out of business to show we don’t fuck around but the public at large are lazy and passive.

Unfortunately that’s a very subjective and naive point of view

I wonder if PeePee has boneitis

I use Homepage for something similar to this

Library of Alexandria burning down for the modern era

That requires the valuation to drop. A ton of people just go with what they know and are only fuelling it, creatures of habit and convenience and whatnot.

You know what’s really good for making sure thing never explode in your face?

Repressing them and pretending they never existed.

True!!

Insanely, unbelievably true.

Out of all the people on any sort of “hand out” I think the remarkably insignificant are proud of the fact or want to be.

The fact is that those dollars are INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO THOSE PEOPLE.

And for every family that may HAVE to take them, once again, notice the distinction as you mentioned, not WANT, there is a chance that those pittances will help them survive another month, and possibly get one step closer to being their own actor in pulling out of the shitty, no good, bullshit that is poverty.

For every dollar that rich fucks hoard, a needy family could spend in our economy.

Hoarding does no good and only fuels inflation.

Agreed. You’re at the mercy of your USB controllers as well as southbridge in that case.

You’re adding more things that can go wrong.

Generally HBA/RAID cards are usually built for enterprise rather than consumer so they’re usually more reliable as well.

The stupid this is the deep state isn’t some hidden cabal of secret actors, they’re hidden in plain sight and the billionaires that hire lobbyists, fund campaigns and basically decide ‘democracy’ as they choose to present it.

The show we’re presented and to argue over is just a distraction to keep us from coming after them.

Or any republican that opposed bills or that had groundswell.

The difference is that this isn’t a normal election, Trump has shown his hand and it’s terrifying.

Unfortunately, any criticism of Biden, even if warranted or necessary, is seen as tacit approval or support of Trump, even if it isn’t meant in that way.

That being said, opinion articles are almost always biased in nature, and this one is from someone in the Republican sphere and pushes an untenable idea of what is not a true sentiment about a political rival, regardless of the rest of the content.

That’s not a great foot to start off on if you don’t want to be considered as propaganda.

Also you’re not invited to my birthday party

My servers and their systems may have taken a bit to get right, but they’re way more rock solid than anything I use for work.

I know, I know, scale and whatnot. But if we have to turn to FOSS, self-hosted/collab alternatives, a lot of the tech is already really far along.

I describe what Microsoft does as having all of the correct Lego pieces and still fucking up putting it together, every time.

Then taking it apart to put it back together only for it to somehow be better in some ways and much worse in others.

Lather, rinse, repeat, sprinkle in some anti-competitive shit too.

Definitely. They’ve gone for the stick instead of the carrot if they’re looking to juice PSN numbers, and gamers are a notoriously outspoken bunch.

How they thought this would just fly without an uproar after such a great launch is way beyond me.

They learn their new script from the writers, and don’t bother with anything from the old one anymore.

Sounds like you would have liked Nazi Germany. And I don’t mean that in a nice way.

Hell you can even just change desktop environments to shake things up as well.

If this is black magic, will I be subject to some sort of witch trial in the near future?
