That was unexpectedly charming and informative. And funny.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada Was Set to Bring in National Pharmacare. What Happened?
10·6 days agoOh for fuck’s sake, really? If I don’t blindly support the Liberals and everything that Carney does, I’m a Russian bot (although apparently not from the farm that got bombed yesterday, since I’m still here)?
I voted Liberal last election to keep Poilievre out of office, and under this fucking FPTP system, I stand by my vote; but that doesn’t mean that Carney is beyond criticism. Take a look at his record, and you’ll see someone who puts more emphasis on dollars than on the overall health of the nation. I’m disappointed to say it, because I thought he might be a centrist leader, but he’s governing from the right, and it’s my job as a dirty hippy to call him out on it.
Facts are facts. The federal Liberals are now very close to where Mulroney’s conservatives were, back in the day. This is why we need electoral reform. I am still glad to have him at the helm (vs. Poilievre) when dealing with the fucktards south of the border, but from the second he got his majority, he stopped pretending to give a shit about anything other than economics.
He rolled back environmental protections, he’s been playing nice with the traitor of a premier ruining Alberta, and here we are talking about what happened to pharmacare. If you’re going to “Yandex” away legitimate criticism, then we end up with the worst government that the parties can get away with.
But hey - keep toeing the party line.

145·6 days agoYou can point to a lot of things, but a central problem is Mark Carney. If there’s no profit (short-term!) to be made, he won’t spend a dime on it. Basic research, climate change mitigation, food inspection, and healthcare are all meeting the economist’s axe.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Why a 21-year-old coder finally ported the real P.T. to PC: 'That something so influential could eventually become unplayable never sat right with me'English
3·9 days agoY’know, I took a look at your recent post/comment history.
In nearly every post, you insult the person you’re responding to. You call them idiots and morons, you condescendingly explain why you’re vastly more intelligent than they, you call their opinions bullshit, and you consistently fail to contribute anything useful.
No skin off my back - after this post, I’ll never interact with you again - but you might want to deal with the fact that you are really a shitty person.

13·10 days agoI’m not new to this.
I read the article. I searched for anything about the kid doing this project. Tried a few searches with his name and ‘jew’ or ‘hitler’ or a handful of other cross terms. I also trued looking through news articles, in addition to straight web searches, and came up with nothing. THAT is when I asked for clarification, and that is when you felt the need to answer with essentially LMFGTFY.
So feel free to provide some useful information, or STFU.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do I tell my co-workers I'm not attending a wedding without creating drama?
79·13 days agoGrow up.
Reply to the RSVP with a polite “unable to attend.”
Tell your coworkers “I am unable to attend.”
Anyone who asks more than that deserves a slap and a discussion with HR.
Fuck 'em. It’s your life. Live it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why doesn't the NHL include playoffs from lifetime stats for players?
2·13 days agoLots of answers here, but let me give you an alternate viewpoint, from the NHL.
“Fuck you for caring about the sport, now give us some more fucking money! You want stats, hire a statistician. Except you can’t because you’re a POOR FUCKER!”
“Now shut up and buy another watery $35 beer.”
I go the other direction. I HATE having a cord tethering my mouse, getting caught and moving after I take my hand off.
Batteries aren’t a problem. I get two days warning before the AA on my mouse actually dies.
But when I travel, I take a wired mouse.
My son is a serious online gamer, and loves his ultralight, wired mouse. Maybe if you’re that serious, it’s worth it.
I’ve never had a problem with wireless. I’m playing Cyberpunk 2077 right now, and my Logitech m720 is flawless. I’ve had a series of Logi mice, and if this gets discontinued I’ll buy a dozen to get me into my 90s.
The technology is entirely mature now. I’m not really convinced that even hardcore gamers can honestly tell the difference.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I have an opportunity to study abroad in Budapest, Hungary for a semester. Should I take it?
15·17 days agoYes.
Yes yes yes. Don’t hesitste, don’t second guess yourself, don’t make excuses. Go.
When us old people say ‘you only regret the opportunities you missed out on,’ this is exactly the sort of thing we’re talking about.
Do it!
A few years ago I read and enjoyed Miriam Toews’ “A Complicated Kundness.”
For sci-fi Comedy, Spider Robinson comes to mind.
Shouldn’t be a problem. It’s rated for ~75C continuous exposure. Also, the oversize washer takes most of the strain off of the bracket.
