Oakland Canadifornia I guess. It’s just down the road from my igloo in Vancouver.

I would like Carney to seize assets in Canada tied to Netanyahu’s genocidal government and army also.

It’s good that you got how you are feeling out, and I won’t deny you that… but…

No, you haven’t failed. Your best and your worst years are still ahead of you. Are jobs, parties, romantic relationships what you want right now? Who or what kind of person do you want to be? A carbon-copy of your sister or classmate? I don’t think so. You should spend some time to set aside the past, figure out what you want for yourself in the future and how you can attain it. Stay away from alcohol and (non-prescribed) drug dependence, and find what activities bring you joy. Your life can begin at any point you choose it to. Here’s some ideas, do with them as you wish:

Go to the library, pick out a book you might like, read it in the comfiest indoor or outdoor spot you know.

Go for a short walk, jog or mix. Try to get a little farther every day. Find parks, rivers, lakes, plazas of interest. Or watch some exercise videos, go to the gym and try them out with some 5 lb weights and use some of the machines on the lowest setting. Every other day, come back and work your way up the difficulty. It should be very rare, but ignore people that try to pester or make fun of you, but if they have genuine helpful advice or ettiquite tips you can learn from that. Search around for local sports clubs.

Volunteer for a food bank, soup kitchen, or a museum that has the kind of things you find interesting. Helping others live their life can bring both satisfaction to yourself and ample learning opportunities, and a chance to make friends.

Clean and organize your room. If you’re going to be spending a lot of time there anyway, might as well make it look nice.

In terms of a job, go to any “career event”, “open campus day”, “university fair” that you might have in your area. Look around for companies, industries and subject areas you find interesting, you’re not looking to be hired right away, but to ask questions about what kind of work they do, and education and experience you may need to be in that role. Ask what they enjoy most about their job and what they don’t like as much. Unless you’ve experienced something directly you won’t truly know how you will feel, but these are good reference points to go off of. If there’s a career path that suits you, figure out where and how you can get the necessary education.

Do you want a driver’s licence? If not, end of story, stop fretting about it. If yes, what country are you in, and what’s stopping you? Money, or will? Do some quick research on what you need, do hundreds of online practice questions by searching “[my country] driving knowledge test practice questions”, read a handbook if available and keep doing practice questions until you feel comfortable and are getting well above the passing grade.

Being social is nice or whatever, but pick any of these that you can start doing today or within the next week without anyone else’s help.

Private, don’t worry, I won’t make you bomb that dinghy in the Caribbean Sea for no reason. Instead you can watch Melania and prepare me a film review report by next week.

3 important ideas if the developers and publisher want a game people come back to:

• Permit offline solo play.
• Allow for player made mods.
• Release a custom 3rd party server binary.

The US economy was set to be the “envy of the world” in Oct 2024 according to The Economist, on track for an inflation soft landing and strong productivity numbers and trust in the US dollar.

Then Trump happened again…

Hate to say it because Canadian fresh blueberries aren’t very available right now, but frozen blueberries taste different to me than fresh… all the small ones seem to end up there from my impressions of eating them, while I like the bigger blueberries more. Also, in smoothies I don’t put more than a pinch of them (7-10) because it turns the smoothie very purple and takes away from the rest of the fruits I add.

If you want something better to pair it with, try plain yoghurt? I think the mild sweetness of blueberries could be brought out better when paired with a more sour taste.

GDC 2026 marks the first year of the event’s rebranding as the “GDC Festival of Gaming,” which event organizers have described as a “bold reimagining” of the event. GDC organizers will now have to boldly reimagine a new keynote speaker before the event begins in 31 days.

Great line by the article author Ozzie.

Every US Court should reference this opinion regardless of whether the captured Supreme Court overturns it or not, to say that the DOJ can no longer be taken at its word by default.

It’s going to take a collectively outwardly aggressive movement, in the spirit of the armed Black Panther party.

You are emphasizing the aggressive portion of it, but I think Americans still need work on the collectively. “Get armed or get out” isn’t going to get you far in building a movement. For example, if Alex Pretti was alone and not recorded by a mass of other non-violent protestors at the time of his gang murder by ICE, the propaganda that Pretti was looking to shoot them first would stick a lot longer. Gun for gun, ICE’s budget for weapons per agent is a lot larger than even the most kitted out Black Panther. It’s already stupid the amount of weapons they have stockpiled against peaceful protest. If violence becomes the only way to win as you believe, ICE will put out a purchase order for a few LRADs or other “less-lethal” technologies that will make it hard for organized armed resistance to hold a gun straight. And further, at the first sign the administration can muster up a flimsy excuse to do a “MOVE bombing”, they certainly will.

Elections are state level, and while the fascists and gestapos are trying over and over to take it over from the states, so far it’s not working out. The MN boycott and national day of action happened last month and I don’t think they are saying “mission accomplished, we don’t need to do anything else” in response to 2000 of 3000 federal thugs sticking around. Various other groups are also organizing, like the supporters of Haitian refugees in Ohio, who will use these moments to organize and over the next few months become part of a national resistance network. Then there will be more options for aggressive and non-aggressive tactics.

Twenty years after this map, I think the two East Coast colonies will merge and become a province named “Newengland and Yorkador”.

These people got nonsense views in their head because of religion. I think the only cure for many of these people we consider “too far gone” to convince rationally is through religion also.

I hope at every event where a member of the Trump administration is present, there is ample booing.

I also hope preparations are started for a full boycott of the 2028 Olympics.

Oh perfect. That would be a good upstream base for other European govt projects.

I do think the EU should start with a more basic app like FluffyChat in testing but rebranded, then try to make their own app over the Matrix protocol that fits their specific communications needs and share that development publicly with open source.

I hope these changes will include rule modifications that will allow battery electric commercial trucks with on-board diesel generator chargers. That would allow Edison Motors to succeed in their business model in pioneering their Canadian solutions to transport electrification.

I can imagine why PP is striking a conciliatory tone… he is one more MP defection away from near irrelevance.

Bookmarking your comment so I’ll come back around July to see if it’s true… do you have evidence for these claims? Not that it couldn’t happen, but my read of the situation is that Trump is more likely to die of a stroke than to launch any sort of invasion of Canada.

Sweet I’ve been interested in Deflect as an alternative to CF since I noticed Cory Doctorow using it on his ‘pluralistic’ website.
