    That’s the youngest I’ve heard of someone like that. My grandpa was like that and in his 90s and I still thought he should get a computer for at least banking and stuff.

    She must have been in her mid 40’s when the iPhone came out, that’s young enough to be interested and learn about the tech. She must have just actively ignored it or refused out of principle or something.

    Canada had an annual immigration rate of 1.4 million per year and the population is 40 million and that’s still with a limited non-open door policy, and it was way too much which Canada realized and started to restrict it, which would be the equivalent of America bringing in 14 million a year.

    I absolutely wouldn’t be surprised if 100 mil wanted to immigrate to America over ten years if there was an open door policy.


  • Fuck.

    Now instead of each new generation of TVs being slightly higher in resolution some god damn business tech executive is going to focus on some god damn bullshit to try and change or add which is going be absolutely fucking ridiculous or pointless and annoying like AI television shit or TV gaming or fuck my life. Smart TVs are bad enough but they can’t help themselves they need to change or add shit all the fucking time to “INNOVATE!!!” and show stockholder value.

    Resolution was something easy and time consuming but we can’t rely on that keeping them from fucking TV up any more.

    Infrastructure isn’t tied directly to labour available.

    There needs to be enough time to construct, enough money to invest, enough space to have proper city layouts etc.

    You can’t just build a water treatment plant anywhere.

    You also can only build housing and schools and hospitals so fast, an extra 100 million people in America in less than ten years would mean and extra 25% or everything needing to be built in less than ten years.

    At the moment government doesn’t fund construction of housing, so that’s an entire system that needs to put in place before letting everyone in.

    Plus a bunch of other issues that I can’t even think about I imagine.

    I mean, I’m fairly liberal with immigration but I literally do not understand how it would even be possible to have completely open borders.

    What happens when 100 million people try to immigrate in less than ten years? Where would they live? Where would their children go to school?




  • Ive always loved my OnePlus phones.

    Started with a OP5, which lasted me 4 years until I upgraded to OP9, which lasted another 4 years and now I have an OP13.

    Compared to my Google and Samsung phones which both lasted less then 2 years each.

    My Google Nexus 5 was a beast which also lasted 4 years but then my first pixel shit the bed and never got another Google phone.

    My $1000 Samsung phone’s battery shit the bed within a year and the charging port wore down where it wouldn’t even charge unless it was in a very specific pressure and resting at a very specific angle.

    Never had a single issue with any of my three OP phones.



  • Yeah it’s pretty shit. My province only recently made it a requirement to provide a minimum of 5 paid sick days to full time staff due to COVID.

    Part timers I believe only get 3 / year.

    Canada is the middleman for everything on the scale of the States being far to one side of the scale and EU being the opposite side, Canada usually sits somewhere in the middle.










  • Unless you lived in an area that had winter, and had to stockpile resource so you didn’t starve for 2-6 month soft the year.

    Then someone had to pick the berries and then someone had to preserve the berries or cook the berries and someone had to store or transport the berries as you moved camp around etc.

    I hate it when people make it sound like cavemen lived in some sort of equalitarian resource rich utopia.
