Look at this youngin, turning 18 in 2016. Enjoy your knees and shoulders while you can.
2009-2010, you hear about this “Bitcoin” thing for the first time. You remember some old fart telling you about it years ago, but you had no idea what they were talking about and assumed they had mental problems. You decide to download it and start mining it, it doesn’t hurt anything. It just uses your CPU to mine them. You let it run and quickly forget about it. Eventually, you get tired of it slowing your computer down. You have a few thousand coins by now, so you shut the miner down and put your wallet somewhere safe. Then you forget all about it, until about 2021…
Mine Bitcoin. Hold.
Well, fuck.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Mark Carney has opened a Pandora’s Box with his China dealsEnglish
0·1 month agoI wonder why you left out these parts of the article…
“Mark Carney is being elevated much the way Justin Trudeau was… What I am most shocked about is that everybody seems to think that this is some kind of radical departure and that Trump’s belligerents is driving Canada reluctantly into the arms of Beijing. Is there anyone who can explain to me, or tell me, that if Kamala Harris had been elected a year and a bit ago in the American election, do we really think that Mark Carney would have done anything different? This is bread in the bone with these people. It is what they do and what they have always done. Whatever you make of any of this, could you please leave off with this business that Trump is driving us into the arms of China. This is where the Trudeau Liberals unfortunately feel most comfortable. It goes back to Justin Trudeau’s dad. What is happening here is the revival and reconstitution of a lot of protocols and MOUs that were in place during the Justin Trudeau period, the Dominic Barton period, before the Chinese pushed the envelope a bit by kidnapping Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, and before the public revelations about the degree to which the Chinese were influencing and monkey-wrenching our federal election system.”
“Mélanie Joly musing about Canada and China building EVs together – this is just the same old story of the Liberal Party of Canada elites turning a blind eye to Trojan horses for Chinese intelligence infiltration, stealing of Canada’s world-leading technology like the Nortel case… Why is Mark Carney moving ahead with these absurd deals? My theory is… Scott Bessett at the White House is saying, ‘Who’s Carney working for?’ Look, he is trying to thread the needle between his patrons, the industrialists in Montreal that I’ve reported have been in bed with the Chinese communist elite, along with Jean Chrétien for decades. He is working with and for them. He is working for a majority. His elbows up rhetoric is still winning, anti-US, anti-Donald Trump. They’ve got a ticket to be a majority government for a long time unless Canadians smarten up. Here is the key: Mark Carney knows that if we don’t get an American trade deal, China doesn’t even care about us anymore – we matter because of our trade integration with the U.S. and the world.”
Gee, I wonder who’s viewpoint this article is trying to push.
Plus quoting The Epoch Times? Yikes.

Canada@lemmy.ca•More than 400 RCMP members accused of misconductEnglish
7·2 months agoHonestly, this could be a good thing. It may look like more misconduct is happening, but it also could be the same amount as always. Only now it’s coming to light and being dealt with.
ACAB, but maybe, just maybe, there’s a little bit of light on the horizon?



Agree on the quit, disagree on the insta.
Use the time to apply and interview for a new job. Once you’ve secured a new position, then you quit. Don’t hurt your own finances while you hurt your old company.
And it’s up to you how much notice you give. Worth considering whether to preserve the professional relationships, or torch that bridge.
