I didn't use it at all. I just pointed out that it's only sexist/homophobic if other arrangements are given a pass, while the male-male arrangement is used in a pejorative manner. (On an unrelated note, it's a fun fact that we can now safety assume that you are a male. I'm curious what the male: female ratio is among tankies). If anything, it's the s+m community that should be offended, since the phrase implies that being the sexually submissive partner is inherently bad.

Are there any female authoritarian leaders? I can't think of any current ones, so it may be simply descriptive instead of sexist/homophobic.

Man, did you somehow manage to skip the "Western Culture" class during your re-education? Not a single part of that statement makes any sense.

What part of that statement gave you any clue as to what their political leanings are?

That practice is actually what made me quit using Amazon even before this latest bullshit. I live in a condo, so if I'm not home, they can't deliver. Every major courier (Canada Post, FedEx, etc) will just take it to one of their shipping locations and I'll pick it up on the way home from work. With the Amazon couriers, I end up playing phone tag with a person who unfortunately has very poor English, and just generally getting frustrated. Plus the tracking numbers just straight up don't work.

I went from a 1080ti to a 6900xt during the pandemic when I found EKWB selling cards at MSRP. With Nvidia's pricing and availability issues, I don't see myself going back anytime soon.

Are you committed to Nvidia? I just looked, and currently 7800XTs can be had for less than $100 more than the 4060ti. I can't imagine that AMD is going to raise prices that much.

Apple is what Microsoft wishes it could be (minus the difference in market share). That's personally why I won't give Apple any of my money. Really not interested in that locked down ecosystem.

Yup. OpenSUSE here.

Maybe it's kind of a double switch and it's going to be a 24 GB model?

Gotta have an in-group and an out-group. Might as well have the most blindly obedient, and least critically thinking people as part of your in-group.

I think it's also going to depend on who the Liberals pick. I think Carney will have a better chance of winning than Freeland.

Just looked. Mine's showing "Gulf of Mexico" with Gulf of America in brackets underneath.

I switched to contacts when I got a job where I am required to wear safety glasses. Contacts + the normal plastic glasses is just easier to deal with than having to get and replace prescription safety glasses.

You've probably met many who weren't awful at all. But being not awful, you likely wouldn't even be aware that they are Christians.

Ironically, with our reactors, it's actually easier to make weapons materials than it is to make them go boom. It's one of the reasons why we never sell them to non-nuclear nations.

That's honestly what worries me the most. I'm pretty sure any actual conflict will look an awful lot like a civil war, and any student of history knows how incredibly bloody those tend to get.

We don't have them, we just have all the knowledge, skills, and resources to make one.

We could probably whip one up in a month or so. We have all the technology and manufacturing capabilities required. And if CSIS doesn't have some blueprints squirreled away somewhere, I'm going to be surprised and disappointed.

I'm definitely curious to see what happens in the polls when we find out who the Liberals choose. I don't get the impression that people really trust Poilievre to handle Trump.
