Can someone eli5 this for me?

I’ve noticed that a significant majority of makers on YouTube that I watch are Canadian. It’s easier to bootstrap a channel when you don’t have to pay out of pocket for insurance or emergency care. Americans won’t take that risk so they start channels while they have another job and most don’t make it to a sustainable size to quit the regular job.

Isn’t it fair to say that Native Americans didn’t consider land to be “owned” by anyone? What colonialism (and agriculture) did was assert control over land that was previously thought to be communal.

The tragedy of the commons is a capitalist invention. Shared resources have all been managed effectively until the point where they become considered private resources.

We only do DraftKings here!

Heard about the Slate Truck?

Why the fuck would a cop do this??

Oh, Florida. That checks out.

I’m physically addicted to SwiftKey and it’s still very good, but, it is owned by Microsoft now in case that influences anyone’s decisions here.

It’s a three ton steel knife that does zero to sixty in three seconds, it’s literally designed to shred human bodies.

Mariah just wants walkable cities and reliable public transportation. I can get behind that.

Like none of these people have ever seen a refrigerator before!

Chant it with me, friends!

Stop 👏 using 👏 Chrome 👏!!

Does that mean you love me?

Do you think you could ever love me?

Santa Claus is my favorite pale male.

I dunno, Nestle owns basically the who’s-who of terrible processed food and snack brands. Avoiding them isn’t just good activism, it’s good for your health, too.

More old trivia is that the original OK Cupid system was written in C, including the actual web server that served the pages. They wrote it in C so that the matching thing could run real-time, which is super impressive, even if writing your own web server is actually pretty dumb.

I loved the days when people just wanted to make fun, useful, quirky stuff on the internet and not just peddle thirst traps and Chinese merchandise.

No, you really can’t.

I mean, in fairness, “vegetable” isn’t a scientific term at all, so whether potatoes are vegetables (or tubers, or roots, or something else) is totally up for debate.

But they’re a hell of a lot more of a vegetable than pizza is!

Gf: did you look for yourself?

Me: freezes

Reality’s an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold! Byeeee!

Bram obviously gave so much to the global community, and directly to Uganda through his persistent charity efforts, and no more need be said about what a devoted and generous person he was. We’d all truly be worse off without his contributions and I say that as a devout Emacs user.

Still, it always rubbed me wrong that his stated plan for the project was immortality.

How can the community ensure that the Vim project succeeds for the foreseeable future?

Keep me alive.
