I havent seen any reports of Chicken's dying en-masse in Canada. So either:
1A-The bird flu can travel all across the USA but respects the Canadian border and wont cross over to infect and kill our chickens
1B-The bird flu did cross the border but Canadian chickens are stronger than American chickens and immune to the bird flu
2-The previous administration did some ***to sabotage the new administration since one of their big talking points the entire campaign was "the price of eggs"
3-Avreage egg farm in Canada is well under 100,000 birds, some as small as 25K. Average egg farm in America is 2 MILLION birds. A farm shows a trace of the flu and its entire stock is destroyed.

Also late stage capitalism in America.

Lol I've almost never used reddit. I got into a debate and got rated down on every post. Now it auto deleted my posts. So if a bunch of goons disagree with your opinion and vote you down all at once, you are basically silenced? What happened to freedom of speech!
The government cannot suppress your speech. Anyone else can.

Also its reddit. Randos on reddit can and will suppress your speech. Some there will vote any new poster down to oblivion just because they are new posters. Reddit is a cesspool.

Why would heaven reject me for dropping games that I don't enjoy?

She wasn't made to look ugly on purpose due to ideology, it was the character and back story. Today female game characters are made ugly, flat chested or overweight due to feminist ideology from blue haired fatties working there.

I saw a cut-scene from a spiderman 2 last week, it was Venom talking to Spiderman.

Not only did they make her look like like *** on purpose and give her a massive man jaw but they made her into some kind of super human character, that saves spiderman from Venom.

I watched the video, I didn't see any feminist propaganda in that cutscene.

I read that MJ tried(but failed, lol) to save peter because she loves him. It's a scene that communicates relationship between the characters, it's not feminist propaganda. Nor I see MJ being physically stronger here.

Peter was knocked out because he was hit by a refrigerator. Maybe his reflex was hindered from being shocked at the situation. He is still a human mentally, after all. It's a very reasonably reaction.

After that it's entirely MJ being damsel in distress, which is pretty much the opposite of feminist propaganda.

I think you just read too much in this scene and view everything with a political lens. It looks like feminist propaganda because you already made such assumption.

Spiderman: a super hero, with spider senses, super human reflexes, extreme strength and durability.

Mary Jane: normal woman

Venom attacks, she reacts faster than him, takes the full force of the attack, saves spiderman, he is knocked out, she isn't.

I find it kinda weird that when you see a character not behaving as expected, your first assumption is "politics!!!!"

If I see a character not behaving as expected, I would assume this character is in a stressed mental state first. It's a common writing technique to change character behavior slightly when they are depressed, angry or stressed.

So I don't think it's fair to say spiderman's behavior in this scene is feminist propaganda. It's well within the normal use of writing technique.

After this talk about win7, Youtube suggested a video: why none uses Linux?

Well, I watched, and first impression was about Zorim, that, at first glance, really really seemed like Win11.

Tbf, there is a couple of aspects of Windows 11 that made worse the experience compared to previous version.

I used Ubuntu during university like more than a decade ago, and the experience was quite bad so much I jever tried again. Also, because the Windows 7 was quite good.

I also am not liking where Windows as a whole is heading with this *** of WaaS.

Maybe its time to give Linux a new chance?

I just saw the starting page of Zorim, and it really surprised me positively.

I use Win11 and it's customized with ExplorerPatcher. Can remove ads and such. You can make Win11 to look more like Win7 with that tool... flawlessly.

If you are looking for advanced security and privacy but not for gaming. Maybe give Whonix a try? Which runs Tor and acts as a gateway, and the Whonix-Workstation, which is a completely isolated network.

Most Linux distro UIs were in a weird place about 10 years or so ago. They had some growing pains trying to catch up to other operating systems and, as are result, were pretty bad. IIRC even a bunch of mainline kernel devs complained about how bad they were. They were slow, clunky to use, and the overall user experience was pretty bad. Over time, it did get better and has improved a fair bit. I'm not gonna advocate it's the best thing ever, but it is better than it was 10 years ago.

The FOSS ecosystem, Linux in particular, has a lot of problems but they have made a lot of improvements towards usability. The reason individuals don't use it as a workstation often is that (for varying reasons, mainly dev issues and a smaller userbase) most software isn't available for Linux (esp games but other stuff too). The reason corporations don't use it is due to it being more challenging to manage at scale and some FOSS equivalents for productivity (e.g. LibreOffice/OpenOffice) just aren't up to par. You'll find a lot of software has alternatives that are native to Linux, but their functionality is limited or they are buggy compared to their normal counterparts.

It's easy enough to try in a VM and see what you think before full committing to it. I'm not gonna advocate anyone go out and use any of them, they have their place, but it is better than it was a decade ago by a long shot.

Uhm, *pushes up glasses* Excuse meeeeeee

akshualllyyyyyy, Eru Illuvatar could easily smite Gandalf the White if Gandalf the White were to betray him.

Also the Valar could also beat him.

Also a sufficient host of Balrogs could probably take him, too. But we ain't had none o them since the War of Wrath or whatever.

my 2yr old started saying this and it busts me up every time.

He would call a bird stuffed animal a mingo (what he says instead of flamingo) and my husband and I would correct him "well Parrot actually" and many similar examples.

Now he runs around saying "mingo, well Parrot actually" it's priceless.

Lie.

Google knows all hentai and porn sites I visit so it can threat me when I became world widely famous by relasing the omni operating system PantOS and become a risk to Microsoft business, so they can arrest me and condemn me for life.

FFXIAH is my friend actually, thus why I asked here, I knew some nerd would help me

100% a feature and is hilarious! though I guess it might lead to some burn-in for some monitors or something silly.

If Google is the real Barad-dûr, then more reason to use them for me.

Just fyi, I got at least 3 different Chinese OS names(Kylin family, UOS and Deepin) from the first page within 10 sec of Google search. Using Brave or Duckduckgo only gave me Kylin family as answer, no info on UOS at least not within first dozens of search results.

Duckduckgo's search results also lack variety, as many results came from the same source which narrows down my options to pick an answer. Google gave me results from multiple sources on the first page, which is inherently more useful.

If Google wants my info, let it be. I prefer better and faster results and Google algorithm is tough to beat by other competitors imo.

Gandalf first appeared in 1937 long before Raistlin in 1984 and Elminster in 1975. Too easy to try to outdo someone that’s been around for so long.

Gandalf is at least 10,000 years old. Raistlin is between 27-47 I think? Elminster is 1267.

Gandalf wins!

Meh, I was hoping that stupid federal buyout offer would go away today, but I guess a judge halted it and extended the deadline. No one at my office is accepting it, it read like it was originally written in crayon. No one at my old Chicago office is accepting it either, they are definitely lying about how many people actually took it.
