@Hyolobrika @mcduquesne It was based.directory. I think it's totally dead now.
It's a shame, based.directory had a great set of mirrors set up.

"National and provincial medical groups are decrying an increase in "bullying, attacks and violence" directed at health-care workers, as hospitals are targeted by large groups of anti-vaccine protesters and those opposed to mandatory vaccination."
Maybe they should be decrying the bullying against the citizens of this country being done in their name?

@jeffcliff You notice that an awful lot of government things (including the CBC) have been totally turning off feedback lately?
They know nobody is happy, they want to pretend they're doing something someone wants.

The whole idea of trying to put the contribution to a household in terms of dollars like that is a toxic idea, and rubs me the wrong way for a number of reasons.
First, I think a good family relationship is communism. It's the one situation where it's acceptable. Each contributes what they can, and takes what they need. The familial bond is what ensures everyone does their part, unlike nearly any other situation.
If you start trying to quantify every little thing in a relationship, ultimately someone is going to get bitter because relationships aren't totally equal. Someone is always contributing more in one way or another.
A problem with specifically trying to quantify it in terms of money is that people start looking at that number and going "What if?", and suddenly a lot of people stop working on their relationship and start trying to make that dollar value, and life isn't about extracting every dollar you can out of it. Quality of life can drop for everyone if everyone is trying to do everything instead of people trying to focus on certain parts.
Megacorps want this desperately because they want as many people working as possible to drive down wages and working conditions, then paying most of their earnings to have some employee of a company watch your kids and keep your home up. They eat your life, and then they get to swallow the pay they give you right back up so they can do the things that most people want to do in the first place for you. You'll miss your child's first steps, but don't worry! You were making the money to pay someone else to see them! You'll miss your child's first words, but don't worry! You were paying someone else to hear them!
The other problem is that inevitably you get things just wrong. "There are no 401ks!" oh? I thought my wife was entitled to half of everything we've built throughout our marriage including my investments. Who knew? "There are no paid days off" oh? Here I thought I could watch the kids or do the chores and it doesn't result in any less money in her pocket. Who knew? "There are no sick days" oh? here I thought if she's sick we'll make it work so she can go be sick without worrying about things. Who knew? Here I thought we were in a partnership, but it turns out she's just a slave and if she doesn't jump when I tell her to I punish her (and not in a sexy way)
Being a stay at home mom isn't an every day vacation, but it's a pretty good gig. A lot of women want to do it but can't, and a lot of women who can feel shamed by other women for not getting out there and earning money.
Not to mention, most men don't actually sit around doing absolutely nothing, so are you going to start charging for what the man does too in order to balance the ledger?
Like I said, it just gets toxic. The article is him simping for his wife, and I support simping for your wife as the only woman you should be simping for, but that doesn't mean he's correct. It's sweet nothings, and if you take it too seriously things will get bad.

The Mu variant, also known as lineage B.1.621, was first detected in Colombia in January 2021.
The first vaccine in Colombia was given to a nurse on 17 February 2021.
What's going on that these "vaccine resistant" strains keep popping up in regions that don't have the vaccine at the time?

@erinotoole The only relief available is to stop inflating, stop spending, reverse the BoCs QE, let interest rates rise naturally, and let the money supply start returning to normal.
It will hurt, because getting off of drugs does hurt. It's the only way to get healthy.

@hn100 @RekietaLaw The fan projects are likely gonna lose.
The applicable law considers updates like this to fall under "sequel rights". The companies that own the rights to the games have an exclusive right to produce sequels, including improvements to existing games, so if the company says "we don't want you making this mod", they can say they don't want you making that mod.
Midway Manufacturing Co. v. Artic International, Inc., 704 F.2d 1009 (7th Cir. 1983), the first case that proved that video games were subject to copyright is regarding a mod for arcade machines that would allow new features in the games. Artic international was producing the mod, a circuit board including rom chips that modified the function of the machines to improve the game including fixing some bugs. Artic had a number of defenses including challenging the copyrightability of video games in general, but Midway ultimately won.
It's something we need to start thinking about when we put a bunch of effort into working on someone else's IP: You've got a sword of Damocles hanging over your head, at any time the rightsholder can cut the thread and kill your project.

@borzoi The Internet is like that.
And the people who say "Hey! You're being mean!" really don't get it and should probably find a new place to be.

@dudespostingws Sometimes it isn't so bad having someone who cares about you remind you of your faults so you can try to solve them.
The insular "nobody should ever point out anyone else's faults" is a great way to become stagnant.

@sizzletron @TheRealNM @mystik @Foneguy89 The real fascists out there will call us nazis whether we deserve it or not.
Meanwhile, they attack the elderly, women, children in the streets, dressing in black uniforms and instituting a reign of terror for months at a time. They destroy public property because they don't like it. They burn down buildings with people inside.
One guy being uncouth isn't even on the radar in terms of optics for anyone who cares to look with eyes untainted by lies.

Thanks to @realcaseyrollins for this link, which he posted on https://hoot.goldandblack.xyz/communities/14 .
The deaths recorded here match my experience with the jab exactly.
Extremely high fever, I slept for 24 full hours recovering from it besides getting up just long enough to have a meal. I've said earlier here that if my experience is remotely common then people are definitely dying of the jab. There are definitely more examples of this out there. It's not a normal vaccine.

@search_social Actually didn't at all.
You're sitting there talking about specific skills like that has anything to do with anything. A chip designer can transition into wiring houses, and a house wirer can often transition into chip design. It would surprise you how often stuff like this happens. (Arguably, the skilled trades are a different thing than STEM mind you, but good skilled tradesmen are often better technologists than technologists)
The core isn't about some specific skill, and the fact that you draw a picture doesn't make you an artist or the thing you're producing art. That's a superficial viewpoint.
Most arty people I know would die if they had to live in the technical world, and most technical people I know would die if they had to live in the art world. They're just different things, and require different attitudes and enjoying different things.
It's like the difference between technical writing and literary writing. If you use one method to do the other thing, then you're going to fail. They're not the same thing, even if they look the same because they both use words.
I'm going to pretend you didn't try to blame the decisions of a third type of person altogether on STEM folks because they aren't arty enough.
