I prefer having a physical game collection, but with the way physical games are handled now, with more than half the game needing to be downloaded to the console to cut costs or because they didn't finish the game before release, it doesn't solve the preservation or ownership problems anymore.

Long distance walking. I usually pick a direction, put on a podcast or some music, and just vibe as I walk and listen.

I do it because it's not overly complicated, allows me to relax and enjoy something to listen to as I walk, gets me out of the house and maybe towards another activity I'd like to do, and it helps me sleep better at night.

On a light day, I might do it for 30 minutes. I might go for 2 hours if I'm in good condition. I think my record was over 5 hours.

Works for me. I don't negotiate with terrorists.

So that's where we get TV "southern" from...

Why does this seem to only be about Instagram?

Meanwhile in Japanese, you get to gender YOURSELF!

It still was a scary situation to me, and reminded me a lot of the Jan 6 insurrection. It wasn't just Ottawa either that was terrorized though. There were smaller convoys that terrorized towns in Alberta, and there were several border crossings that were blocked by truckers.

Canada may be a more tolerant place than America, but it still faces a lot of the same vulnerabilities that we face here from being overtaken by a militant minority.

A minority, but they are loud and have influence. I still remember the convoy that shut down the country for weeks.

I mean going on your second point, I think it demonstrates the difference between a slur and a descriptor is how it's used as a word.

Like transgender is neutral term but we see it becoming a scare word by fascists recently by changing how its used in speech. Like "transgendered", "transgenderism" or "transing" (as a note, it's kinda scary how the first two no longer set off window's spellcheck). Basically turning trans as a state of being adjective into a verb makes it seem like an act you can do to someone or have happen to you.
