Sounds like Calgary to me. They locked all the train shelters one year so that the homeless couldn't use them... or anyone else... in -40C...

Everyone is free to enjoy the holidays, working retail kind of sucked the life out of it for me personally.
Better testing, and people are getting their kids tested more instead of beating the fuck out of them until they "behave" might have something to do with it.
By the balls of my ancestors, life really is gonna go down the shitter soon ain't it?
That's the big "what if" that hangs over everything isn't it?
The one thing Google still has over Duck for me at this point is reddit results. So much niche information is stored on that site, but they've blocked anyone other than Google from crawling the site so other engines can't index past the point they changed that policy.
Regardless of us using Linux on our home computers, most businesses and services use Windows machines. Your information is likely still stored on Windows machines elsewhere if you interact with the world at all.
With that in mind, it's worth being aware of Windows security problems when they come up.
I got one because the idea of having kids has always filled me with a keen sense of dread. Any time I hear that someone is expecting a child my first thought is "oh no I'm so sorry" before saying the expected congratulations.
Both my partner and I don't like or want kids, why risk accidents happening?
You sure must be fun at parties.
They'd be right at home in Alberta, our government bends over backwards to stop going green and boost corporate dollars!
You joke, but depending on the area transit can range from really good to REALLY bad.
Things have gotten really shitty in my city (Calgary, Alberta), my friend takes transit so I hear the horror stories. Homeless people openly doing drugs, screaming at people walking by, sometimes ODing and dying. I've had to leave work to pick up my friend after a homeless guy tried to grab her and was following her with two of his buddies until she went into a restaurant to call me.
The last time I had to take transit on my own they hadn't cleaned the blood off the wall from the stabbing a couple weeks prior (2023 had a transit stabbing every few weeks).
I seriously wish I was making this up as it's been cartoonishly awful the last couple of years.
I ended up switching to Gnome because KDE would always feel a bit jank to me. Something about it always feels slightly off, animations not working properly or being choppy like my desktop had an unstable framerate. Might just be it fighting with Nvidia, but I don't have several hundred bucks lying around to upgrade my card and switch to AMD...
Kind of odd seeing the massive hate boner the community seems so have for Gnome, at least we have options for desktop environments at all.
