2021 was when Normal People decided to go right ahead and climb INTO the gulag. :holdthepain:

You have literally nothing if you don't have your health.

Oh man the Techtopia is lookin' to be shit.

My favorite is the handle-less AI fridge that tracks your data, listens to you, requires a quiet room, requires internet connectivity, and - best of all -

HAS THE CAPACITY TO PREVENT YOU FROM GETTING FOOD UNTIL YOU WATCH ADS.

Been playing a bit of Expedition 33, and tbh I think the premise is pretty funny.

OH NO IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING WE WILL GAZE OFF INTO THE SUNSET AND TURN INTO FLOWERS.

Look guys, it is -30C outside my window RIGHT NOW. I was just outside, and it is physical pain.

Wherever I go, I have to […]

Helpful term for non-mechanics: The Parts Cannon.

When they can't figure out what's actually wrong with the car, they'll just start replacing likely components until it (hopefully) fixes it.

Very expensive. Doesn't usually work, and if it does work, nobody will be sure why.

A good way to tell […]

Health Canada suddenly being really good.

> Confirms it hangs in the air and is primarily spread via breathing

> Recommends correct filtration and masking

> Confirms it passes to your pets and that you should mask around them when sick

Other guy in traffic: SEATBELTS DON'T WORK. I HAVE ONE AND I STILL GOT HURT.

Kind sir, your seatbelt appears to have been made out of... is that cardboard?

Eberhard's son Francis (aged 20 - my Great Great Great Grandfather) was made executor and had to take guardianship of the remaining siblings. So […]

Childhood memory: First time I had these migraines, I was 12 and my family had no health insurance (US).

We thought I may be having retinal detachment or some kind of stroke (my face and distal nervous system also often go completely numb but not weak).

So the solution was for me to lay on a […]

I have a crazy ocular fault when I get migraines (had one 3x this weekend): I get the classic fortification spectra and then lose entire fields of my vision.

Power: The consensus to act.

Strength: The individual's or group's ability to enact their own will.

If you shovel your own driveway, that's based on your own Strength. If you convince the city to shovel the driveway, that's Power.

Paraphrasing Arendt:

If you erode power (which is the consensus you have to act) to the point that it's only concentrated in a tiny group...

Your group better be a helluvalot stronger than everybody else.

Decent article on the present state of Canada, by Frank Graves (major Canadian political forecaster).

"Epistemic Crisis" is putting it mildly, btw.

In 2020, we were hit with an enormous epistemic bomb. You have people living in entirely different narrative worlds now. Two people @ the grocery […]

We do still have "lockdowns," btw. Millions and millions of people are not at the restaurants, New Year's Eve Parties, and corporate retreats that you're at.

They're dead, disabled, or sick. Others are self-ostracized.

You just don't see them and don't recognize that there's still a lockdown […]
