We live in the forest so our cats can only ever go outside on a harness or in one of those backpacks to save the lives of all our forest friends.

You don't believe that making sweeping decisions that kill thousands of people in the name of profit is grounds for murder?

What if he used a gun to kill those thousands? Would you agree then?

What about if he used toxic slime? Drowned them by hand?

This is literally me. We've been out here three years - One more year of putting up with the tech world during the day, and building our solace nights and weekends and this place will be close enough to self-sufficient that I can check out of the workday forever.

Don't get me wrong - building a place in the forest yourself, from nothing, is a lot of work. But it is the kind of work that leaves your body tired and your brain energized. Not the soul sucking every day of dealing with 'business' types.

And every year life gets a bit easier here, while it gets harder every day in the tech industry.

It feels like selfish and stupid is winning everywhere. But Alberta is definitely trying to stay at the front of the pack.

All of you writing cogent arguments and being philosophical should step back and realize this whole thread is an unpaid advertisement for amazon subscription groceries written by someone who thinks they were saved by a job there.

Believing this tripe is what causes some people to not bother trying to improve the only actual life we have here on this planet. Comforting lies do not help.

I feel this - I'm often on the other end working with data from clinicians in the field for massive studies. The forms that come in can have an infinite number of possibilities just for noting sex. Enough so that our semantic layer needs a human reviewer because we keep finding new ways field clinicians have of noting this. Now imagine that over the whole gamut of identifiers.

tl:dr - Humans are almost always the problem in data harmonization.

Lol. Fuck off.

Signed, A Canadian who has to work all over the US. Sure, if you happen to be really rich, your quality of life might be better there than here. But for the vast majority of people, that is a fucking laughable statement.

I'm more embarrassed for the teachers who seem to have failed them.
