USS Bonespurs has a nice ring to it, actually.
Hello there. Nice to meet you. My name is Jerry...Jerry Mander.

I'm sure he only means it as "this is the shitty way the world actually works". Not that he personally believes it himself.
Been running Manjaro for years. Don't really know what would make me change.
I guess maybe if I suddenly started getting more and more dependency errors when upgrading packages from the AUR it would make me consider jumping to put Arch.
But right not that's not the case. So the benefit of switching is out weighed by the pain in the ass of having to say Everything up again.
I'm not interested in a homelessness solution put forward by someone with "Green" in their title...
They're not acceptable. In fact I can't think of a single one except burnt that is still actively kicking around.
Who told you it was acceptable, if you don't mind me asking. And if it was your english teacher, please ask them how they managed to get here from all the way back in Shakespeare's time.
Government subsidies from politicians eager to greenwash their oil and gas industry.
The Saskatchewan government has been running this scam for at least a decade; throwing subsidies to their rich friends AND using it as an excuse to lie and say "see...there ARE alternatives to the Carbon Tax".
It's all bullshit. It never worked. It never will work. It's a grift to make Scott Moe's donors more money.
Past 30, age is less about biology and more sociology.
I'm a 49 year old male. But I'm divorced, no kids. Still living a bachelor life quite happily while most guys close to my age are married with the kids and coaching soccer on weekends in a minivan. As a result, my friend group almost exclusively skews younger because those are the people who are in the same stage of life as I am (regardless of biological age).
The same works for relationships. Past a certain point it doesn't matter how old you are, as long as your sociological age is compatible. (Ie. Your way of life)
Edited to Add: The rule we always learned in highschool when we were stupid kids with nothing better to do is "half your age plus 7"
51 divided by 2 = 25.5 + 7 = 32.5.
So by highschool rules, you're just a little bit outside the lines, but close enough that if you're both attractive most people will ignore it.
This is basically going to make the population choose between smoking and having kids.
Hell I'd start smoking again.
I used to be a store manager for a telecommunications dealer. This was the old days, the cowboy days before smartphones were even a thing (early 2000s). We were still a pretty small company with 12 locations only in two cities, and we were really just the "testing ground" for the parent company who were developing P.O.S. software FOR telecom dealers. So we were kind of their guinea pigs, but were super successful as well.
Anyway, the owners were early thirties brothers with money to burn, so our "manager's conference" was a seven day all-inclusive as a group. We would have one morning of meetings to make it a "tax writeoff" and then be drunk for the rest.
First year I managed for them was the Dominican Republic. Our resort was a six-star flanked on each side by a four star. Our 6-star wrist band got us access to the other two as well. I remember little of most nights except our group inventing a drink that ended up becoming popular with complete strangers, and wanting to go to the other resorts after the golf cart service shut down, so just...borrowing...one.
The next year was Cancun. Not as much fun. Not as memorable. But still pretty fun with it's share of stories.
So i guess in answer to your question. Yes. Absolutely. The two years that I managed for them were the best time I've ever had. No company has ever truly recaptured that for me.
