I just wiped out on my e-road bike going a bit too fast around a corner on a damp morning when roads were slick, and I feel like the speed I took the corner at would've resulted in the same thing on a motorcycle 😂

I look at bikes like yours here and I wonder how different does it feel from riding on a motorcycle? Magnitudes lighter of course. I've never ever driven a motorcycle, wouldn't mind a crotch rocket, got to ride on the back of a chopper a few times.

I wasn't much for helmets until I converted my road bike. I could even use an armored jacket or something lol

The nation desperately needs police reform!

Stuff like this, or disabling body cam footage IMO should result in immediate termination and absolutely no union protection

There's someone working for Kingston Ontario police who was harassing his wife/girlfriend. There was an article about him pleading guilty that kept the victim 100% anonymous... Then he makes public statements to the press. Reveals its his significant other that they owned a home together with. Claims he "pleaded guilty because he couldn't afford a legal defense." You literally get one whether you can afford one or not.

The guy makes 200k per year. Funny this hate criminal kicking heads is getting 18 months because so did this Kingston cop! A YEAR AND A HALF 100% PAID VACATION. Now he's back with a comfy administrative desk job.

You know what happens when locals criticise the cops? They literally tell us "you should be careful, we might now show up when you need us."

"politicizing disasters" to me just sounds like exploring the possibility that there are people and actions to blame...

Canada is ripe for the picking, we let our telecoms walk all over us.

I wonder how much of our "economy doing great" is just businesses generating GDP from crap like this...

That's just the trickle down. Check the pockets and bank accounts, panama papers...

...uh okay?

So back to my questions, by what scale?

Care to have a conversation and not just repeat random excerpts you read from a textbook?

So tell me, how exactly are we expected to consume all those goods in that basket that are used to measure inflation, when we are not paid in proportion to our increased productivity? Do those goods just pay for themselves with wages we do not receive?

By what scale? Medieval peasants only had to pay 10% in taxes and got sooooo much free time. Technology even today is still bad for us, but nature and free time? Come on, what's the point of having all these gadgets and what not if we don't have the time to use them, and they're all run by faceless corporations who make things as addictive and monetized as possible?

Productivity. That's what you want to compare to wages, and it has definitely increased faster than wages, so why aren't the workers being paid proportionately to their increased productivity?

It's wine when they have it but yes it turns into literal horseshit by the time it trickles down.

There's just enough people in the middle class, pacified by their Netflix accounts and multiple yearly vacations to not give a fuck about the rest of us ☹️

And of course us working smucks get to taste all that shit just enough to want to struggle paycheck to paycheck, if we're lucky

After loving the shit out of Control, I have to go back and play this sometime. I always knew about it but never seriously looked at playing it.

Speaking of, I might replay Control on the PS5. It was pushing the limits of the PS4 Pro

Arrrr matey, I code all my pirate maps in base64. I suggest ye do the same, matey. Arrrrrrrggggh 🦜

😂 this is why I avoided programming, focused on hardware, and ended up cooking in kitchens lmao.

I was never a fan of sitting at a desk staring at a computer screen all day, even if I was good at it. Even with how complex hardware is these days, it feels more orderly and defined, if there's m wrong with your rig, it's most likely x, y, or z causing it, and it's almost always x etc

If the CEO got caught editing comments and posts, how do I know he didn't just pretend to be a defunct mod lol

Probably because it's one of their front page subs? My guess at least. Maybe the CEOs favorite 🤣
