A conclusion we could draw is that your statement made in jest is accurate for a smaller sample size. Say for example, the people replying here.

"It's raining in my part of Canada, therefore climate change is real!"
"Yeah? Well there's snow in my part of Canada, therefore it's not!
"Nu-uh! My circumstantial evidence is stronger than yours!"

Remember when Slashdot wasn't reddit?

I'm sure someone will post a long reply about how this is still somehow good for China, and bad for the West. Don't forget to mention The Donald!

I have seen some chunky audiophile cables, but what the crap are those?

If only I had mod points!

Slashdot was actually a good news source? Now it's just anti American, pro EU, pro China shite. We want Taco back!

Wait, you mean the files are ... IN the computer?!

Extinguish.

Yep that guy's talking out his ass. I lived in the South-West for 20 years, and went to Uni in Scotland. Pretty even mix of rain and sun, now my Dad's talking about almost 40C days there. Absolutely mental.

Your country invited a war criminal, ordered their soldiers to kneel to him, and then tried to negotiate peace while said war criminal was bombing the citizens of the country he attacked. All the while not having invited the leaders of that country to the table. Your leadership demonstrated a weakness not seen since Chamberlain's attempts to appease Hitler. Then there was the botched bombing of Iranian Nuclear facilities, another blunder seen as caving to Israeli pressure. Canada may be reliant on America for now, just like NATO and the EU is, but - Canada and Canadians are willing to suffer economic damage to break free of their dependence on a weakening neighbour who cannot be trusted. The damage to America will take time to set in, but consider how much your neighbours actually hate you: they spurned a conservative shoe in and voted to keep their existing shitshow of a government PURELY because the conservative sounded a little like Trump. But none of that is going to bother you, so let me frame this in a way you might understand;

Imagine if Americans like you had voted for Kamala Harris just to spite Trudeau. THAT is the level of distrust Canadians hold for your leadership.

I think my last reply got eaten. Fair enough though, there's plenty of reasons to dislike Apple. As a developer I shall not ever go back to working with iOS unless not doing so means financial suicide. As a consumer, I have found the iPhone Mini 13 to be so far beyond any other consumer phone that I could never see myself using another device.

Yeah we did grow up in that world, but who didn't think PDAs were cool in their favourite sci-fi series? There's a lot of convenience smart phones bring which I certainly would not like to give up. For example, I find my phone indispensable when carrying out home repair. I can take photos of my house, make notes, watch instructional videos, ask for advice, and have all that available when I go to the shop as well. I do have some old DIY textbooks too, but my phone's essentially what taught me basic carpentry for example. With that said, I find most new phones to be hideously bloated - literally - their size is anathema to their function. I just got my Mini-13 repaired as the battery croaked, I have no idea what phone could ever replace it. In my opinion it is the perfect phone Steve Job's Apple set out to create when the first iPhone came out.

If I had mod points I'd have given them to you. We need you back, cmdrtaco.

The spectacle around this is madness. I truly hope all the people riffing on it just to get their own fifteen minutes of fame get sued into fucking oblivion. They won't, but my God they deserve it. Everyone's so pathetic that the moment a story breaks of someone else screwing up, they jump on it like flies on shit. We're collectively revelling in other people's misfortune. As a species we deserve the literal boiling that's coming.

Fucking upvoted funny by incels but this is the absolute truth. My wife and I and all our friends with one kid wanted two. Two kids playing together is healthy for everyone. But who the hell can afford a mortgage AND taxes on a property that comfortably houses four people? Nobody. We both work, we have been looking for a bigger place for years. No dice. We settled on one child because it is financial suicide to have more.
