The Liberals need to run an ad around this, this made him more likable and relatable than anything I've seen about Carney.
Beautiful Stories From Anonymous People, basically someone calls in to talk about anything they want with the host (comedian Chris Gethard). The caller can hang up any time, the host must hang up after exactly one hour.
People call in to talk about so many different things, and Gethard is really good at getting people to open up in a very genuine yet casual manner.
Oh, I've never played CS 1.6 so I can't directly comment but the main thing I hear is how different the mechanics are.
I imagine nostalgia plays no small role, as well.
I honestly agree with pretty much everything you say here, good comment. I certainly don't envy any of our politicians right now, having to deal with this mess of a situation.
However I do think at this point it's starting to look inevitable that ultimately, we are going to become less friendly and inter-dependent with the United States, whether we want to or not. Trump seems intent on destroying the many years of goodwill and friendship between our two countries.
Trying to maintain stability for our citizens is a noble goal, but I'm starting to think now is the time to start planning on how we'll deal with the future instability of our relationship with the US.
They're completely different games, but if you're unfamiliar with the Counter-Strike series I can see how it can be confusing.
Counter-Strike 1.6 refers to the original game in the series, which ran on the GoldSrc engine. The "1.6" refers to the final release of this game from 2000.
The next installments in the series were Counter-Strike: Source (2004) and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (2012) which both ran on the Source engine.
Counter-Strike 2 was released in 2023, as an update replacing CS:GO. It runs on the Source 2 engine, which is to what the "2" in the name is referring.
A provincial government with the courage to stand up to the Irvings? One can only dream...
I'm not impressed by the Holt government's reaction to the trade war so far. The article mentions things the government will "look into", (selling Teslas in the government fleet, ending government contracts with U.S. service providers) and but there has been no action since the start of Trump's tariff threats.
Holt said she was also reluctant to levy an electricity threat "just for show," an apparent reference to Ontario Premier Doug Ford's blustery imposition of a 25 per cent surcharge on his province's exports to the U.S. [...]
Holt, however, prefers a friendlier, collaborative approach to politics [...]
Not to praise Doug Ford of all people, but you have to have your head up your ass to think "friendly, collaborative" politics are going to work with a fascist at our southern border threatening our sovereignty.
I got a new job, and the group chat is on WhatsApp, so I'm looking into running a Synapse server with a bridge to it. I really don't want to have to use Meta's apps on my phone.
From what I've read so far, it seems like it's going to be the most convoluted install process I'll have encountered in my self-hosting journey. I'm excited to tackle it, but also a bit overwhelmed. Which is why I've been putting it off :P
