I hear it was the South African Shitbeetle.

There’s a good YouTube video titled something like “china’s economy is 60% smaller than they state”. It’s worth watching.

We homeschool in Canada and have done so long before the pandemic. Technically, what we do is distance education, as my kid has teachers, a proper curriculum, assignments, etc. She’s absolutely thrived with this, where rural public schools were a nightmare of bullying and neglect.

But here there are rules and real requirements. Based on Oliver’s video, homeschooling in the US is an utter shitshow. The anti-intellectualism in the US is incredibly bad.

It might surprise you to learn that Canada is really big, not everyone lives in cities, and some places are inaccessible by transit.

I’m not sure where else, but Canada desperately needs more cost-effective electric options.

How about Kanye-led?

In my headcanon the droids are actually cybernetic shells for the brains of captured living creatures. They have had their memories wipe, but aspects of their personalities show up.

R2 has no mouth, but he must scream.

The easiest answer is that Vader is just looking for death, subconsciously.

There’s always ‘self’.

I hope they eat well.

I don’t feel bad for deleting my account with 120,000+ karma.

This is the right way to solve paralysis, not Elon-killing-monkeys.

They imagine this place where only rich people live and work, but don’t think to the next step of who does the things that rich people don’t care to do…so they’ll bring in poor people and then eventually complain bitterly that they either can’t get what they want done at poverty wages, or that their local exclusive society is falling apart.

In short: there is no valid reason for the ultra-rich to exist. The rising tide doesn’t lift all boats: it sinks the boat that have been tethered to the sea floor.

You mean the guy who replaced the Italian Mafia in NYC with the Russian Mafia, then avoided investigation of that because of 9/11, then threw everything behind a president with very questionable connections to Russia, and took several mystery trips to Russia…might have been compromised by the Russians?

Shocked!

I’m riding the rocket right now!

Oh wait, that sounds bad…

I have to agree. Federation only goes a little way on the path to a proper decentralized social media system. Ideally, defederation should not be possible, and rather, community subscription should be the norm without concern over what instance it exists on.

I’m not saying it should become Usenet, but it should be more similar to Usenet than it is now.

Yes, because I’ve seen your posts elsewhere and you are definitely intelligent enough to hold your own.

No objection to you being hot (not sure how to say that without being creepy, but oh well). My objection is only that they could reference the strike first rather than what you are wearing.
