Schrodinger's Dinger

The golden days of IRC were the best. Every day I use the current internet, I miss the way of the old internet. Back when everything was just run by a bunch of nerds doing whatever they wanted, as opposed to everyone being shut out by the big names now, looking to control everything and maximise profit.

I mean the government did just pass bill c11 which is supposed to force Canadian made content down our throats, so there’s that.

I hugely appreciate the information! I’ll look into that for sure.

As someone with long covid, it is fucking hell. The extreme fatigue, muscle soreness, lengthened healing times of wounds or new sicknesses or physical exertion have made life hardly bearable. I just straight up don’t have the energy or mental capacity to do anything I used to love and enjoy.

It’s endlessly depressing, even though I know I am keeping myself out of clinical depression after learning how to deal with depressive issues more proactively now.

I wish I just wore an n95 whenever I was around people now, but I know I never would have done so unless I knew how truly awful long covid is.

Calgary is one of the best places in North America … for landlords. Tenants have basically zero protections here. Every time my landlord does something shitty and shady I look up the law and landlords always have the upper hand.

All I got was a letter stating that as per my lease agreement, my lease is over and I would have to move out by the end of the month (which was a little over 2 weeks away) or reply to the letter to accept the $1800 (previously $1200) rental price.

Example: Have bedbugs? It’s your landlords responsibility to get rid of them. If your landlord doesn’t? You can move out. That’s what the law states, even though it states it’s your landlords responsibility to get rid of them.

Sorry I’m late with this response, but Alberta

Hah, old age. What a fever dream

It’s simple! For me I either have to pay that much, be homeless, move to a tiny shitty city with no work in my field, or spend a year trying to find a decent place that isn’t totally unaffordable while thousands of competing potential tenants do the same to renters with vacancies. So fun!

My landlord upped my monthly rent $600 bucks this year because he’s a cunt and knows I have no fucking choice except to pay him.

Refuse? Why?

This is the main reason I want one. I originally got a gaming laptop for work trips, but my main computing device is such a scary thing to bring on trips. A deck would be perfect though.

I was a slutty nun for Halloween and looking cute in a skirt is definitely possible, but man does it take a lot of work to find anything that fits decently. Dresses are simply impossible to find of course because, as you said, the shape is not at all made for men.

Also that outfit made me want to go full f1nn5ter and dress up in feminine clothes all the time lol. It’s so much fun! I’m so down for people to figure out how to make the shape work for masculine body shapes.

I was checking Reddit for news sometimes but it seems I don’t have to anymore as I’m finding the same news in both places. Pretty exciting.

Love seeing Republicans just doing Republican things too. The projection from them never fails to show their colours.

RIP RIF 😭
