They’re the leading cause of death in children.

Uh…WHAT? Ain’t no fucking way. *checks statistics*

…😳 what the actual fuck. Y’all doin alright down there?

What part are you having trouble with?

As of a few years ago at least, most Taiwanese people were in favour of keeping relations as they are and neither expanding nor severing Chinese relations from status quo. They already operate as their own country, so a push towards further separation is mostly only symbolic anyway and they don’t want to provoke China and their current peace for a symbolic gesture. I think that by treating Taiwan as its own country but not identifying it as such, we are acting as most Taiwanese wish.

Y’know nobody forced you to write this.

And don’t call me Shirley.

I love me some bullet trains, but there is a certain distance that makes planes way more viable.

There should be a lot more (and higher quality) high speed rail between cities of moderate distance, however.

I really want to downvote this but I can’t bring myself to do it.

You need context from the show to get this meme. This episode is a satire on how women who molest minors are treated differently and how some people are inclined to congratulate the molested instead of seeing them as victims.

It’s not nice, and we need to view the attitude of situations like this being “nice” as messed up. Hence the meme.

The literal way to read what you wrote is to never ask Flatpak, in order:

1. how it can download more
2. the total file size

The only reason no one thinks this is what you mean is because of how many people also mess this up.

Uh, no. Almost everything you can do for logical security only requires free software. Something as easy as ticking the box “encrypt my drive” and putting in a good password when installing Ubuntu or whatever is about as easy as it gets and is LUKS2 (“actual security”, as far as at-rest data encryption is concerned).

I just got back from living in Japan recently, and the boiling-frog syndrome of Canadian rail is palpable. I once got to the train station ~90 seconds before the last train to my home city was to depart, and was able to run in and buy the fare all in time to be able to run to the platform just as the train was pulling in.

If you bought a ticket with a non-reserved seat, you can take any train (or combo of trains if transferring) at any time you want between your 2 selected stations. Only if you choose to get a reserved seat and miss that departure is that portion of the ticket price lost (you can always just take a non-reserved seat on the next departure or likely get some leniency if you ask for a new reserved seat on a subsequent departure). Plus, there are always large discounts available for commuter passes.

I don’t expect that level of rail in Canada, even in the Quebec City-Windor corridor, but holy hell we’re so far behind.

And considering they didn’t feel the need to mention ethnicity.

True, but even if Steam were to offer a x% lower cut on sales for Linux users if the developer makes a Linux-native build, it’d still not entice many to build and maintain a native port if they are only saving x% off a tiny y% of users. Other poster’s point being that incentives like this would actually become enticing to companies when Linux market share (Proton users) increases.

Doubtful Steam is gonna offer a share cut on all sales when it runs on Proton for the 2% of userbase using Linux, and from that only a minority would care whether or not it’s native anyway.

Oh, we weren’t talking abou…fuck I gotta get off the internet for a while.

FTFY:

It’s not considered worth undertaking such an initiative when most nuclear power plants have no problem just leaving the heavy (solid concrete and steel) casks as they are. They are not some looming threat, and they just sit there, outside, taking up a pretty small amount of space on the plants’ property. Nothing else is done because there is no real incentive to move them; no one cares.

How would the removal of the primary residence exception disproportionately disadvantage someone who has to move every 2-3 years?

Would you not just have to include the capital gains or deduct the capital loss on the difference in home value from those 2-3 years alone? Meaning likely a rather small amount. In fact, wouldn’t you be less affected than most seeing as your gain would possibly be in a lower tax bracket given the lower amount and also under the new $250K threshold. Or…am I missing something?

Not that I think a blanket removal of the principal residence exception is even a good idea, I just don’t follow your argument here.

As someone who was in elementary school under Harper and (obviously) not into politics…can I ask for an abridged version of your view on Harper’s terms and what your biggest complaints were with his leadership?

I’ve done some looking online for a while, but it’s hard to find good retrospectives on his whole stint as prime minister and not old single-issue news articles.

All that comes to mind when I think Harper is:

• Islamophobia
• some budget problem that caused some kind of short-lived governmental crisis
• inferior hair compared to Trudeau
