  • For me, there are two types of terrible dreams:

    a) The first is the obvious, nightmares where terrible things happen and I wake up literally sweating, heart racing, etc

    b) The other is where there’s a happiness that is near-absolute, usually involving somebody who loves and accepts me completely. Those dreams are generally pretty simple, but waking up is like stepping out from a warm house into a cold night, and wishing I could go back only to find the door shut behind me.


  • I find it’s a bit of a toss-up. Teams does manage to fix/improve on many things that Skype did, but it also screws up in new and infuriating ways.

    MS’s modus operandi seems to be “bundle and make just good enough that corps will stay in our ecosphere and not going to buy into a competing product”






  • Yeah, I think a lot of the parallels in Canada is that the failure here is with the NDP, not the Liberals or Conservatives. Overall, those two parties haven’t changed, but at some point - post Layton - the NDP apparently decided to go down that same identity politics road, while similarly abandoning the general working class. Maybe they felt they just weren’t getting enough votes with the latter and there were enough who felt strongly about such social issues, but FFS they could have at least tried harder to support BOTH.

    I’m honestly starting to wonder if the reason they’ve continued to support the Liberals is not so much a fear of z Conservative government, but rather if there’s some dirt the Liberals have on NDP leadership to keep them on a leash. Nothing else really explains why they’ve continued down this path of political suicide.














  • IIRC, it wasn’t that “she liked lipstick and dudes” but essentially that her thoughts of Narnia became “oh, that funny game we played as kids”.

    It’s not her gender or orientation, it’s that she lost her belief in an effort to become more “adult”. The lipstick and boys bit is more to emphasize this.

    Narnia is apparently like Neverland in this regard. You stop believing and the magic is gone.
