My partner and I moved into an eco village and are going to buy chickens this summer. Blew my mind to learn a live chicken only costs $75

The only people I know who are trained blacksmiths (all two of them) are both women

Yep we just have to keep at our cardio :P

Yeah I realized that as I was typing it. Our population grew so damn fast. Granted, three million or so of those don’t have citizenship or permanent residency, and are a rotation of temporary students or workers. A lot are expected to leave (a lot are also expected to becomes PRs).

3/4 people resisting is probably a pipe dream anyway, so 30 million dissidents from Canada alone isn’t likely in a worst case Ontario.

Precisely, and it can stay pseudo-anonymous. A trusted third party (Governments? Banks? A YMCA gym membership?) issuing a hashed certificate or token is all that’s needed. You don’t need to know my name, age, gender: but if you could confirm that I DO have those attributes, and X, Y, and Z parties confirmed it, then it’s likely I’m a human.

We need digital identities, like, yesterday.

Now is about the time I need to make my obligatory recommendation that you check out the [free] fan-made audiobooks by voice actor, Phil Dragash:

I have listened to these at least once per year since 2015 (holy smokes, that’s a decade!), and they are still the best audiobooks I have ever listened to. They utilize music and sound effects from the movies, and Phil has an uncanny ability to replicate many of the movie star’s voices. I cannot recommend it enough!

He also hasn’t considered the destruction that 30 million occupied dissidents (from a country known for their prolific war crimes) can unleash on their oppressor.

My partner can’t concentrate if I talk at all, but talking (insightful/funny, concise comments at appropriate times) is a pretty normal way my friends and I watched movies growing up. Sucks lol, how am I supposed to just sit on that obvious loop hole or horribly ADR’d line for another hour and a half??

I’m in the middle of CS50 right now. Wow. This is a huge loss for everybody. I’ll be archiving the 2025 course for posterity.
