I think it was when women entered the workforce, earned money and became a target audience. Now we live in the middle I guess. I like it, I’ve always been a bit lady like.

Canada’s NDP under Thomas Mulclair running against the Liberals.

I can see 2035’s viral video already. Targeting people who were too young to get jabbed, some of which still living with the effects of long COVID. Others blaming long COVID for other issues. The narrator turning them against us, endless b-roll of both anti-maskers and politicians reopening cities. How selfish of us, reopening before they were protected.

The seeds spread during floods and can last 15 years before sprouting. What a nightmare. We’ve got it down river, not much in my town. I’d actually love to see it in person.

A corrupt government will also enjoy the “chilling effect” created by people’s fear of tainting their phone with illegal images.

Took me a minute to find the hidden message in there. Peace & Love

I lived with that freedom and had that exact same thought. “3 weeks vacation… wait… that’s like 40 weeks of work…”

And yeah, I always miscalculate that joke to further distance the normies.

As somebody with a yard overrun by goutweed/ground elder I really hate the romans and their stupid invasive gardens. That stuff is unstoppable and showing up at a plant swap makes me feel like I’ve got an STI.

This anti-vax nonsense has really tested my ability to not wish suffering on others. I’ve climbed that hill and found the empathy for these people, but it took actual mental effort.

They want the burgers to taste the same all over the place. A shame because here in south western Ontario we have amazing tomatoes. I eat at least one a day just sliced with a bit of salt.

Yeah, it’s a complex system like economics. It often has to do with things like immigration and cultural fusion in influential neighbourhoods. Musicians or break out visual artists chasing an career and bringing their style to London or NYC.

This is how things operate in other parts of the world. When I was in Naples I often waited for a mother with a stroller so I could cross beside them.

Yeah, there is a pretty well circulated blog post [1] explaining this population growth. Ontario just wasn’t ready to see this many people show up.

If anybody doesn’t make SV money and wants a good tip: Consider an early inheritance of your parent’s home if you can build them an addition. That’s what we are doing. Took out a small mortgage to buy out my sister and we are now raising a family with grandma nice and close. We’ll assist her through old age and the entire thing feels very, I don’t know, European I guess?

I think critics of this technique are forgetting how incredibly manipulative film is.

It’s a cool new spice on a crowded spice rack.

Reminds me of a great little story I just read about working in a brick yard in the 50s.

Yeah, I found some cool bricks and wondered if brick collecting was a thing.

I did a design interview which involved drawing up an elevator control panel for an apartment building with 1000 floors. Me, trying to leverage my sense of humour I guess (oops) designed a system in which the presumed wealthiest users at the top were instantly recognized with a face scan and never had to see a panel of buttons. The rest were forced to use a basic number pad. Needless to say I didn’t get the job. Doesn’t help that when you google my name my father’s extensive work as a labour organizer tends to spook my potential boss…

He didn’t even return one of the items! I feel like the thief’s lawyer is very happy about this story being leaked like this.

I’m sure Steve Jobs stayed at the highest end spots elsewhere on the planet. It mentions in the article that this place is right near his favourite soba.

I walk around a cemetery as part of my daily walk when I let my mind wander. Two big topics in my town are real estate and reconciliation with aboriginal people. Something about this giant plot of land covered in European names just seems so strange.

I guess it depends on what you would label as political. Breitbart (sigh… I know) stated that “Politics is downstream of culture”. It’s not a new idea but I have no doubt that these non-political spaces will serve as cultural funnels into various ideological bubbles.

Distilling many pages is the first step in writing your own response (over many pages). It’s essential and a very healthy impulse.

I think if they were working from home it would, obviously, be a different story. They could stash some cash away and be able to care for their aging parents in the future.

They also renamed Brontosaurus to Apatosaurus.

You can also sit on the couch while your spouse watches House Hunter’s International and try to find the apartments as they go.

Can’t speak for OP but it sounds preferable to when he “allowed” his relationship with his father to take him on such an emotional journey.

Attack Magazine has a section called Beat Dissected which teaches sub-genre beat making.

If you enjoy this you are going to want to watch Westworld.

You won’t get in trouble but trust your gut if you’re just curious.

Plenty of people saying “who?” because they only know the sex toy I suspect.

This is boiler plate Gladwell critique and has been part of his reputation for a long time. Ironically I think we are due for a contrarian shift back to him being brilliant.
