Shades of Cory Doctorow, who thinks non-USA countries should remove DMCA-like laws and explicitly permit reverse-engineering for the purpose of creating interoperable parts and software. I approve of that.

Make a site for kids where they can access the content of all the books GOP N@zis are banning from school libraries.

Can confirm as both a former employer and former employee, Canada has a good balance. Also, healthcare insurance is not tied to employment here, so employees don't have to stick it out at a hateful job and companies don't have to spend massive amounts on health insurance.

And yes, there should be nuances in the law based on company size and maybe also on how long the company has been in existence. A startup in its first year of operation, or a small business with 5 employees, should definitely have more leeway.

Gee, no dogwhistle politics there, amirite?

I'd try almost any food once. And if it tastes OK, I'd probably keep eating it.

mRNA technology has been under development for decades. Literally billions of shots have been given to billions of people since 2021; it has saved hundreds of thousands if not millions of lives, and helped reduce the severity of COVID for millions more.

I took the COVID shot. In fact, I've had seven of them in the last 5 years. No issues so far. But hey... if you want to join the list of sorry antivaxxers who regret their decision as they're dying from COVID, you do you.

A gold-plated trinket called the "Moderna Peace Prize" did the trick.

mRNA vaccines can't permanently alter your DNA. They instruct your cells to make proteins and that's all. Even this US government website admits that.

Yeah, shoulders tend to give a lot of trouble. The shoulder joint has the widest range of motion of any joint in the body, and its tendons are not well-served by blood vessels, so healing tends to take a long time. I had adhesive capsulitis (aka "frozen shoulder") starting in the beginning of 2023 and it was miserable. It took about 18 months to resolve and even now I have slightly limited mobility in my left shoulder, though it doesn't affect my daily activities.

My point is that the AI boondoggle is screwing consumers every which way.

LGBTQ agenda ravaging the West

LOL. Another repressed one comes to the surface...

The USA of 1945 was a very different place from the USA of 2025.

In 1945, the USA was run by competent, rational actors who understood what needed to be done to prevent another world war and to prevent Europe and Japan to descending into chaos, and were willing to spend the money necessary to do that.

In 2025, the USA is run by incompetent fascists... whose only saving grace is indeed their incompetence, or else the fascist takeover of the USA would be a lot further along.

The workstation I'm typing this on has 128GB of RAM. It's probably worth more than my car now.

Yes, give it away; there are plenty of needy people in the world. Or else stop over-producing clothing and footwear in the first place.
