I think the critical question here is why are these men vulnerable to it? Then take this knowledge and use that to fight back against bad actors.

My 2 cents on the topic is that many young men feel unimportant and lost and are therefore looking for someone to guide them. Unless society takes it seriously they will continue to follow those that seem to listen and acknowledge their issues even if they are using it to manipulate.

The US tariffs are applied with no basis in reality. Unless you could somehow magically move the entire supply chain for goods into the US at once businesses' costs will go up with widespread tariffs applied. Because of how worldwide all supply chains are these days this is a completely impossible task. Not to mention the higher labour costs and lack of workers willing to do those jobs in the country.

Most businesses don't have the runway for an unstable business environment and it is in their best insterests to diversify out of uncertain markets. Hopefully we continue to see more companies look towards Canada as an option for serving their international customers. I'm all for incentivizing this as long as we aren't selling out the benefits of these companies bringing tax dollars into the country.

Yeah, that is the downside of dual booting, you are almost certainly going to end up learning how to chroot to fix the bootloader at some point. But dealing with a VM, especially if you want to pass a GPU also has its own difficulties.

Canadian Tire already owns SportChek and Mark's, they are already in the clothing space.

I also take issue with the description of Canadian Tire, they are a department store focusing on automotive, tools, home and garden, kitchen, and sporting goods.

Their businesses aren't that drastically different, and it sounds more like they want the brand for a smaller range of goods using HBC stripes.

I recommend dual booting, not a VM. It is easy enough to choose which OS to boot into if you need to go back to Windows, while being enough friction that you don't immediately fallback to going into Windows every time you don't know how to do something in Linux.

I don't code, but from the gaming standpoint, things are pretty decent on Linux these days. I've been on Linux full time on my laptop for well over a year now, and 6+ months on my main desktop now and find very few reasons to boot into Windows. I think I booted into Windows last weekend for the first time in at least 2 months because I had to upgrade the FW on a device that only had a Windows tool. Otherwise I do have a windows VM on a server that I use relatively frequently, because the state of 3D CAD software on Linux is horrible.

I bought a restaurant sized container of the Chipotle Tabasco a few years ago. Turns out that might be a bit too much for a single person to get through in a reasonable amount of time.

Not sure it counts as hot sauce but a chili oil like Lao Gan Ma is my favourite. Otherwise when I do use hot sauce my favourites are Hot Ones Los Calientes Rojo, Tabasco Chipotle, and Secret Aardvark.

maybe, just maybe if we didn't move the same settings 1-2 layers deeper behind some UI bullshit we wouldn't have to look for it.

This trend pisses me off so much. Companies need to learn that for settings I'm likely to have to change they need to minimize the number of actions to change it. But people in all these companies find the need to reorganize things to make it seem like they are accomplishing something.

I have a feeling that in many cases people’s work is being abused.

Yeah, a couple years ago I saw a stand at a flea market selling 3D prints. Took me all of 2 minutes to find the original at home with a non-commercial license.

It is all rectangular items around it, wouldn't be difficult to measure out the environment and route the design around it. Good CAD tools have cable routing tools that can assist with this as well.

Until I got to the specific shit I thought this was going to end with a punchline about Canada geese.

This has gotten so bad in my city since covid times. I'm constantly having to go around people stopped in the middle of the walking path. Just yesterday I was walking and these two people exactly stopped where the sidewalk narrowed for a bus stop and were blocking 3/4 of the area to walk because of it. They literally could have stepped 2 steps over and been completely out of the way beside the bus stop shelter.
