The comments on HN seem a bit envious of the original author with how they’re trying so hard to invalidate them.

Just how it came across to me.

Wym “just as”, those sponsored links for Firefox have been around for a while, haven’t they? I definitely remember turning that setting off a while ago.

Same account options as yours here on mobile, marketing is also off for me.

Thanks for comparing notes!

I don’t even see this option on my account. Old Canadian account, but my phone/Paypal app is EU.

As shit as social media is, I do think the aspects of it that allow stories like yours to go viral nowadays and bring eyes to a situation beyond the local community can be helpful.

My niece’s school also had an intense bullying situation, and several students posted on Tiktok about it. The videos went semi-viral, and the school got bombarded with phone calls and negative Google reviews (I didn’t even know schools HAD Google reviews until then lol). The regional news station got wind of it this way, and came sniffing around. Suddenly administrators were VERY concerned and attentive to the situation, when they couldn’t even be bothered half of the school year.

I actually think the victim’s family were able to settle something legally because a lawyer offered their services reduced cost or pro-bono, again by learnings about the situation from social media.

…well that’s just great, I wish someone had told me this before my eyesight was at -6.00

The stuff you put on poutine

It’s delicious. No need to deep fry it 😭

I think the entire province of Quebec just shuddered at that description of cheese curds.

My history teacher said that the greatest curse you can give someone is telling them “May you live in interesting times” and boy do I feel that now.

I think my eyesight getting progressively worse every year is a bigger contributor to the glasses industry than planned obsolescence 😭

Canada took in all the Confederates fleeing, including Jefferson Davis

HUH???

You’re telling me slaves fleeing using the Underground Railway could have come to Canada and then MET THEIR SLAVERS WHO ALSO RAN AWAY?

Yeah, honestly I tuned it for a bit and was shocked at how shocked I was about the debate being just a normal(ish) political debate.

It’s bothering me how desensitized I’ve become to Trumpian rhetoric in politics, not only in the USA, but globally. Almost a decade of this shit in the public, and a whole new generation of voters who think it’s normal, too. It’s pissing me off.

I should have guessed you’d be a gaming connoisseur and already had played AW1 just based on your daily posts (which I enjoy daily too btw).

But playing Alan Wake 1+DLCs more than twice? Damn, you’re not a lake, you’re an ocean 😭

Nooooo this is so sad! Shutaro Ida has been a big part of the “modern” Castlevania games (post-2000) and Bloodstained. I really hope he can beat this.

Fuck cancer.

I have a cat that is not vaccinated for FIV/FeLV because they don’t do that in my country for single, indoor-only cats. The garage was the only space I had where he could be comfortable (don’t worry, it’s a winterized garage with a heated storage room, and that’s where he stayed the night).

Gorgeous screenshots though, I don’t remember this game looking so good

IMO, as someone who played Alan Wake 1 back to back with Alan Wake 2…don’t do it, AW2 as a game feels sooooo much better in every aspect. Unless your tolerance for jank is really high, the difference in the gunplay alone feels like you’re using two different skillsets.

Well…AW2 didn’t completely get rid of the jank, just made it a smoother part of the gameplay lol.

Also the story of 2 is really heavily related to the ending of AW1, you might just spoil yourself for a big part of the mystery.

Yes, thank you so much for your advice the other day!

And funny enough, when the vet asked me for a placeholder name for him, the first thing I thought of was “Todd”. Sorry I stole your cat’s name :')

He has a microchip, but the vet had no luck getting in contact with the owner yet, sadly. They’re hoping to at least find a vaccine record associated with it so they can clear the FIV/FeLV faster.

Just a regular ol’ Pokeball (aka wet treats and an extra thick blanket)
