The cons won’t allow that kind of expense though, as all funding needs to go to American oil barons so they can create and own corporations that get 98%+ of Alberta oil proceeds. That’s their play, and spending on Canadians isn’t really helping their goals.

I’ve found killing them with fire is both effective and retributionally entertaining.

But that was the '80s, when kids running around with the spray varathane and a zippo was kinda okay.

I kinda hate stinkbugs.

Are we still saying “vote to block” and not “vote to allow” for this illegal invasion? I think the trends observed deserve a little rewording so we don’t get our hopes up.

I wish I could be you, and I have a dear friend who is as liberal with his truth.

I worry so many of us suffered unintentional neglect during times of crises - divorces, poverty-driven migration, etc - because everyone had to cope and keep working and was exhausted in the rebuild, that we aren’t as free with our feelings as we should be because we didn’t see or get the practice.

And poor people don’t get professional help to course-correct since they’re barely food-secure.

But you’re awesome. And every time I see a grown-ass man displaying physical parental affection for his child - a kiss, a hug, snuggling a sleepy babeh, all that - I know that child has amazing potential to express his/her own affection without so much reservation.

It’s a good trend. Keep it up.

Ha! I was fixated on a science memer who can’t spell “its” ! Nice take.

Iraq war was started in direct response to the 9/11 attacks

Nah. That - and Afghanistan - was merely correlative. Attacking a third-party country because of the actions of some Saudis based on what a Saudi royal spearheaded is nonsensical. It was absurd; and probably about Oil.

Obviously she is intelligent; she went to Canada instead of Miami.

Well, people who can’t get into Canada need somewhere to go. :-P

I work 100% remotely, and my day job doesn’t even have profile pics. When we meet, it’s a dozen cartoon images or memes as faces. No cams, no pics.

The side gig I’ve had for 20 years has never had a pic. These people wouldn’t recognize me if I walked in the office one day.

Why should I? We don’t see a value.

Container crutches. Ew. And if a dev can’t spell self-hosted, then I don’t trust them to do it properly.

Maxxing

Somehow NOT spelled like ‘waxing’ or ‘faxing’ or ‘taxing’. Here’s your tree.

The voting for the less of two Israeli and oligarch owned evils is getting pretty old.

It’s a binary choice. Vote for not-Trump or get Trump. This was an intelligence test that America failed.

… And impeach the belligerent invader who usurped senate power in order to commit war crimes ?

Yes. Close your biological waste disposal units, ya crude yokels!

I love this. In my field we often say something like “this is mission-critical? Did the architects know? It’s not been designed to proper spec, you know, and that’s a safety issue.” But, #union, so it’s different.

So often, it’s deemed crucial but not really set up as if it were, and there’s the parallel with a “lifetime” opportunity architected like a joe-job.

It is the law in my region that job adverts viewable from here must include a salary range.

1. Yes it’s not easy to enforce. Since a visible salary an equality thing, it’s possible to flag the incomplete posting as discriminatory issue and have it pulled, though.

2. They cheese out with a $100-500k salary; and everyone knows it’s cheeseball.

But it’s the law. This dinkweed is discriminating over applicants using protected speech to ask about a detail missing in the advert, and we all find out he is chauvinist in the end.

That’s how my sibling usually did it. His resume, talent and creds are astounding; but he doesn’t mention to the interviewer that he’s running the competition, not them.

He does use the proper language “I’m sorry to inform you that you haven’t been selected in this round of competition, but I wish you every success,” etc. It’s been different in this era of mass lay-offs and the upended power dynamic, even for the elite candidates, but typically he’d start with an opportunity pool of about 50, and bring it to about 20 after an initial interview; 5 after the second interview.

Canada would be happy to receive many of these skilled refugees. There are programmes now for medical workers, and if global companies prefer American timezones for worker surveillance, then have I got news for them !

looking for unpaid interns to service its communication channels, leaving local authorities to foot the bill of financially supporting applicants while the US steps up annexation threats.

I’m over here, laughing in OpSec

will offer support

Yay!
