Turns out more than half the country has one.

Turns out your new president kinda wants to put that half in shackles, too.

I want this so bad, I have lost all cartilage in my wrists and I don't want to get them fused.

I've been using the OpenVINO plugins for a few weeks and it's genuinely impressive. Noise cancelling is one thing, but the transcription tool is amazing. I can create subtitles from conference recordings in minutes and create transcripts of recorded zoom calls, etc. and it does it for multiple languages.

That's the kind of shit I like using AI for.

Japan has been living in the year 2000 for 40 years

It's technically illegal to consume alcohol in your own backyard if you can be seen from the outside.

France is a police state in which citizens are all suspects. Cryptography was illegal until 1996 outside of government/military use and it's one of the worst countries for any hobbyist who needs to use radio frequencies, fly stuff around or even mere street photography. This law will make it easier for the government to crackdown on anyone using encrypted messaging as a pretext to arrest them or put them under surveillance.

Note that the current interior minister and his predecessor both are vile fascist scum.

Also the fact word goes around and eventually people have realized that anything built by Stellantis is a piece of shit.

Ah, because neither Google nor Apple track their users and would never, ever share said data with US (or other) agencies... right? RIGHT?

146 countries recognize Palestine as a sovereign state so I guess Netanyahu will declare WW3 on his own.

True and acceptable, however I don't feel patriotic.

"Fuck America" has been my policy since I've been old enough to make financial decisions. I'm angry we're stuck with them for CPUs.

This should end well...

I'm over 50 and I sail the high seas. I can afford all the streaming services and even used to pay for them... until the price hikes and now the ads, so fuck them. I also never pay full price for my games.

All that money now goes to paying artists on BandCamp and a few Patreon accounts that make me happy.

Mill St brewery was bought by Molson (or other industrial piss maker) a few years back. Total boycott on my part.

When it comes to contemporary imperialist assholery the US is #1 by far. Since after WW2 they've been nothing but shitting on humanity, between the CIA installing puppet dictators to wars (open and secret) killing tens of millions. The list of countries they have fucked with is too long to post here.

And now their former closest allies are annexation targets.

Outages I guess..

At this point I just assume my personal details are out in the wild no matter what.

The big US and Canadian brands all taste like ass but there's thousands of small breweries that make very yummy nectar. Personally I prefer German and Belgian brews.

People are jealous and stupid, period. I'm in my mid-50s and my latina woman who's only 3 years my junior looks like she's not a day older than 35. She has 20-somethings asking for her secret lol
