I don't remember either, but I've always kept training logs. The 10 minutes are to check those!

why? Give me 10 minutes and I could tell you the exact dates of each training program I've done since I was in University 18 years ago.

No, it's subsidized. The same way public schools or libraries or universities are.

You think someone going to a trail running meet has made exercise their #1 priority?

My father is 63, raised three children and has had a successful long marriage and retired from a good career. He also goes works out daily and did for most of my childhood. He didn't make exercise his number one priority.

I do not miss anything about my childhood and you truthfully could not pay me to be any younger than 29 again, but the internet I remember from late high school/early university (before social media and the monetization of everything) was better than the internet we have now.

> it's apparently not at all uncommon for autistic folks to have this sort of extremely strong empathy response in some cases, while a totally flat empathy response in others

to add another datapoint to this, the only movie that's ever made me cry is Wall-E. I felt so sad for him at the beginning of it, all alone and trying to complete an impossible, unappreciated task.

I'm sure there are objectively sadder movies out there, but not for me.

I do this too. I can tell from my MonkeyType graph which work periods I felt more demoralized or distracted during.

MAiD is not available for people whose only condition is a mental illness [1]. I'm saying this not for you but for anyone who may read this, particularly non-Canadians. It's not about "despair".

the amount of implied privilege in this mindset is mind-boggling.

you don't even need to actually seek an abortion, and it's been going on for years. There are many reports, e.g. in the BBC[1], this personal story on CNN [2], this woman who had a miscarriage while using drugs and got four years [3], this PBS article about how the risk of miscarriage being criminalized is increasing [4]... etc.

As a person outside the United States, America appears to me like a very dangerous place to be pregnant in, and what's even wilder is that people (men?) appear largely unaware of it. Regardless of whether you think it's right to convict an addict for a miscarriage or to convict a woman for seeking an abortion or for having a spontaneous one, these are all examples of the environment in which having menstrual data fall into the wrong hands could bring about significant harm. Your proposed defence reads wildly naive and woefully inadequate to me given all this.

perhaps it has, but considering what American women in particular are risking if their menstrual data is leaked this doesn't seem like an example of said loss of meaning

wow, what a horrible way to add insult to injury

My partner's an academic and this tracks with what I've heard from her and her colleagues. It's possible they're all in on a conspiracy to lie to me for shits and giggles, but I doubt it.

I also remember what it was like to be in University and I know several of my classmates would have done this if it had been available. Human nature has not fundamentally changed in the 13 years since I finished school.

even the way you're framing the question is depressing to me, not everything is about profit.

There's a huge leap (a chasm, really) between depressing and moral outrage, and I am not attacking anyone. This comment is a complete non-sequitur from mine.

no, if a 33 or 40 or 99 year old student were doing this I'd find it just as bleak.

I found this a very depressing read. Worse than the one about how kids at even elite universities can't really read or engage with a book anymore.

maybe this isn't what you're looking for since it is paid, but I am very happy with fastmail

edit: just realized I skipped a word while reading and you said client. I know some people use it to manage all email (including from gmail accounts) but that's not actually my use case.

I use Kagi and sometimes DDG. When I do a search I'd rather do my own reading than be lied to. It's not even like using it for code, when you can quickly iterate if needed-there is no way to verify the information you got is correct and that is a major problem imo.

Too bad, they can try again. No need to drag the rest of is into that mess.

both framings are equally bad for the potential tourist.

exactly. As a Canadian I don't really care that half or more of the country thinks that ICE should not be locking up random Canadians or that the annexation threats aren't real or that the tariffs are a negotiating tactic. It is not relevant to my life how they feel if any of these things affect me.

Canadian ones are.

If Canada became part of the US, we (Canadians) would not be equal citizens.

I am trying to put into words something here, and forgive me if I fail, but this discussion about what internal politics would look like in a hypothetical US that included Canada feels quite disrespectful to me. I think it's because it reads like an attempt to normalize the rhetoric, even when it isn't (based on the rest of your post).

it is the annexation threats

Canadians don't need a visa to travel to Mexico though [1], assuming they won't be doing any work or studying. Going to the airport to go back to Canada is not work.

it's not a non-story because even if she was trying to get around something she didn't deserve to be _detained_ instead of simply being turned around.

because fear of being deported is not the same as "fear of being held in a for-profit prison without being given any information"

there's a difference between sending someone back where they came from (what Canada did) and torturing them (what the US is doing, sleep deprivation is torture).

sounds like a bad space distribution. I live in a 700 sqft apartment and my bedroom is large enough for a bed (where my girlfriend and I absolutely can both sleep) a small desk, a weight bench, a rowing machine, and some normal bedroom stuff (dressers etc)
