Imagine the group was called "Friends of Trump" and was filled with MAGA fanatics. It's not illegal to accept their donations, but it is a bad look.

Innocent until proven guilty. Nobody should be in jail without a conviction.

Make sure you use a VPN! The only time I ever got a letter from my ISP to stop pirating was when I torrented a ROM of a Nintendo game.

I played through Part I and I could only imagine how much people complained. It's got US soldiers following orders to kill innocent people, a black woman as the leader of a paramilitary group, a rough and tough guy who only showed his soft side to his now dead husband, a group of religious nuts who are lead by a pedophile, and the whole thing is about vaccination against a deadly virus.

Thankfully most of my investments are in GICs (Guaranteed Investment Certificates) which are Canadian investments with a guaranteed return. Interest rates were jacked up recently and these were giving guaranteed returns of 5%+ which I thought was good enough. They've dropped to about 2.5% and I was thinking of moving more money into mutual funds. Good thing I didn't.

The only mutual fund I bought into is mostly based around US stocks. I bought in at $13.20 per unit and its now worth $12.40 per unit so a loss of $0.80 per unit. I have 800 units so that's currently a total loss of $640. At its height it was about $14.50 per unit which would have meant a total gain of $1,000. Even if the value dropped to $0 I'd still have plenty of savings so I'm not worried!

ProtonDB is a popular site for checking how well a game runs on Linux systems. Users upload reviews that rate the level of support along with their system specs.

I switched to Pop!_OS and I've rarely run into issues with games. Games with anti-cheat typically won't work. It seems like Escape from Tarkov doesn't work. It uses Battleye which requires special configuration to work on Linux and it seems the devs don't care to do that. Other games that use Battleye work fine.

People can't decide to secede and be sovereign citizens. Why would that change just because it's now a larger group of people?

Wyoming has about 600,000 people. What if they all wanted to leave? What if 1,200,000 people in California wanted to leave? That's twice as many people! Can they leave? What if 70% of a state wants to leave but 30% want to stay? Do the people who want to stay just get dragged out? There's just no nice clean way for secession to happen. If people want to secede, they unfortunately need to want it enough to fight a civil war.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this were the case. The government agrees he shouldn't have been deported but they also refuse to attempt to get him back. Why? Maybe it's because they literally can't. If news spread that the government grabbed an innocent man off the street and sent him to die in a prison camp there might actually be riots.

I saw a cybertruck the other day and felt the same way. It's like walking around with a neon sign saying "I'm a terrible person".

The government eventually said exotic dishes with no French name are allowed as an exception. Looking up menus of Indian places in Montreal shows they have completely Indian names for many of their dishes.

It's really depressing that so many people cannot handle losing in a video game. I avoid PvP games now because there's no game that isn't filled with cheaters and rage quitters.
