Well they have become less satirical than reality so…now I don’t know what to do.

Just finished Sinners. Fantastic film, I loved it.

Haha I’ve been saying this for a while now, I think there’s a legit possibility. Once he gets too risky mentally, they’ll have him survive another “assassination attempt”, providing a reason to only appear on camera for safety. They’ll deepfake him after he dies and keep up the ruse.

The 13th Warrior

Sony club! I use whichever was the second to last release (TP2 or something). Over a decade old, battery still lasts a few weeks, and it just works.

Common Side Effects was stunning. Absolutely recommend.

Former prime minister Current chair of the IDU (an alliance of right wing political parties around the globe designed to push right wing ideology in as many countries as possible) Stephen Harper called on Canada to renew its ties with India, arguing in a speech on Saturday that the country is an indispensable partner in a volatile world.

I’ve got a decade old Sony ereader that’s still good as new. Battery lasts a couple weeks too, I love it.

Haha yep inviting the wrong person was absolutely the big issue. I think I read something about it being an unofficial fork out of Israel though, but everything moves so fast these days it’s hard to keep up

Wig Wam!

Specially with all the recent scrutiny on it in the news, hackers are figuring out ways in.

I’m assuming you mean the US gov’t debacle? It’s already been proven that they were using a fork, not the genuine Signal app. The fork was built with a back door. As far as I’m aware (and please correct me if I’m wrong) Signal has yet to be hacked and is currently among the most secure options.

It’s almost like the US gov’t might benefit from convincing its citizens that the fully encrypted messaging app is dangerous so they should just go back to Whatsapp and Telegram.

Unfortunately not. That’s like saying “A burglar put a spycam in my house once. I simply said no and he removed it. So hopefully it stays that way”. It’s there, you just can’t see it now.

I would watch the hell out of that haha. American Dad has a joke about the audio book of Plato’s Republic read by Gilbert Gottfried.

That’s a slippery slope though. Next you’ll start hearing about “empathy”. Where does it stop??

If Canada became fully independent from the Crown we’d have to draw up a completely new constitution as the current one is tightly tied to the Crown. Personally, I don’t trust anyone these days to create a new constitution, as an unfortunate chunk of the country seems to want to eliminate current rights as it is. For as much as some Canadians want or demand to remove the Crown from Canada, it’s really not feasible, and could potentially (probably) completely destroy the country.

There’s no point in saying technically, he is the King of Canada. That being said the Crown is mostly symbolic like the UK, however symbols can be very powerful. By inviting the King to open Parliament, Carney is symbolically reminding Trump that Canada is much bigger than just one country. Likewise the Chiefs are reminding Canada, specifically Alberta, that the Crown holds the treaties, not Canada.

Basically this is like getting picked on in school then bringing your big brother to lunch. He doesn’t have to do anything, the point is to remind your bullies you have some pretty strong support, and they should think again about continuing to bully you.

First, I made ‘Album Artists’ my landing page. 'Artists" includes everyone tagged in the metadata, ‘Album Artists’ only contains the primary artists. For me, the difference is 350 album artists vs 1412 artists.

I run everything through Picard when I add something to the server. Sometimes I have to change the metadata (for example I hate having an entry for ‘&’ like Elton John & Hans Zimmer and I’ll change it so the album is included in both Elton John and Hans Zimmer but theres no entry for them together). But generally it’s pretty simple and smooth.

Looks like this:

The rights and freedoms of Americans has always been a gentleman’s agreement, and they’ve run out of gentlemen.

Makes sense thank you. I see what you guys are saying, and the more I compare the more I feel like I over-corrected trying to improve. I’m studying getting off auto and I think I should try and find a middle ground between the two. Thanks again!

Wow thank you for the advice! It all really makes sense and the more I compare the more it looks like I over-corrected I think. Going off auto is what I’m looking into next and I’ll read through your comment a few more times to get started. I really appreciate it!
