They shouldn't. That 70s show is great.

I mean it's always best to withhold judgement until things are over. It wouldn't have changed your life if you waited.

Meanwhile my girlfriend just got back from travelling around Europe and all of those "superior" countries, and couldn't wait to get home.

Said everyone was rude, taxis scammed her frequently, the public transit was pretty subpar with no other choice, the food was pretty mediocre, she had to be extra careful about pick pocketers, and lastly she said everyone stunk so bad from perfume that she had a constant headache.

Canada isn't perfect, but it does have a ton going for it.

DODI-REPACKS.

Not sure why these assholes here are acting like this is reddit where the sub could be shut down. The dude runs his own instance..

Imagine throwing away your life because a different party is rightfully elected. Your wife is gone. She's not staying around, because in 17 years you will both be different people. Your kid is gone. You will never know your kid, even when you get out.

It's stupid, because presidents promise so much, but do so little. You threw away your life for pretty much nothing.

Fucking idiots lol.

On a related note, go fill out your donor card people. Even if you’re one of those “nobody will want my organs” type of people, do it anyways. The transplant people will figure out if your organs are viable when you no longer need them anymore. Let them figure that shit out for you. Just check the box to be a donor and don’t think about it any further.

and the stupid rumour about "the doctors will kill me to save 8 others" is bullshit. I am glad my donor signed. His wife said she didn't want him to, but seeing me live because of his selflessness made her reconsider, and she tells everyone to be a donor.

I can spend hours doing work without any mandatory updates .

Weird way to say spend hours fixing something that just randomly borked your PC.

Seriously, though. Windows has a fuck ton of issues, but it seems like every distro I install I am eventually greeted with something just completely breaking for no reason whatsoever and spend the next 6 hours scouring Linux forums for a solution, where everyone is just hostile as fuck screaming at people to "figure it out yourself" and to "use Terminal".

Glad it works for you, though. Wonder how many downvotes this cold take is going to net me lol.

This vaccine was so incredibly safe that it's ridiculous that she chose to die rather than getting it.

Unlike the transplant meds. Pretty large increase for cancer from them.

Seems weird to refuse a COVID vaccine, but be fine swallowing a ton of meds every 12 hours that increases your risk of cancer significantly.

Obviously me and many others accept that increased risk, because like you said, the other outcome is just dying straight up.

In the end I'm glad the organ went to someone else who will respect and appreciate it.

I had a double lung transplant 6 years ago. You have to be EXTREMELY compliant to even get put on the list.

So many meds and tests and shit stuff you need to follow EXACTLY, every 12 hours, every day, for the rest of your life.

If you refuse a vaccine you're never going to care for your new lungs. It's not easy.

They took YEARS to redesign the Android app. They missed their promise deadline at least twice.

Now they are finally rewriting their Android app to be on par with their iOS app, but who knows how many years that'll take.

It's already been 8 months since they said they were rewriting it, and still haven't released anything, despite aiming for summer. Not to mention they're already planning on shipping a half baked version whenever they finally do..

As discussed in the January update, Android will require more work as we are rewriting more of the application, with a big focus on performance and stability. This means some Android features you have requested for Mail are not in our immediate scope for delivery. In particular, conversation view (also known as threading view) won’t make it into the first version of the new Android app, but we hope to deliver it soon after release. Thank you to everyone using the beta Android app for the helpful feedback you have sent us. We hope to be able to release the new Android app to everyone before the summer.

That's the worst thing about Proton AP. You pay a premium to wait like chumps. Not to mention they nickle and dime you for everything! I can't use Proton Pass with my expensive business plan, because they want me to pay even MORE to access it. Meanwhile BitWarden is like $1 per month.

I dropped off because I am unbelievably sick of seeing the same thing posted across 20 different communities. No matter which sort I am using, my front page is CLUTTERED with the same crap.

I assumed America before I even read it.
