Interesting, if a bit tangential, that 72% support reducing delivery frequency while Canada Post is trying to increase delivery frequency by doing weekend deliveries.
Personally, I don't understand how many things can be so urgent that it's profitable to deliver as frequently as possible. Surely a single specialised courier for critically fast deliveries (e.g. life saving medicine) would entirely saturate the market.
Yup, this is open weights just like DeepSeek. Open source should mean their source data is also openly available, but we all know companies won't do that until they stop violating copyright to train these things.
I find this accusation funny because I am a feminist
How you can be for equality of sexes yet still think one's benefits are more important than another in a relationship? I'm mansplaining and gatekeeping feminism to a woman on the internet. Wow, you got me, I am definitely an asshole.
I think this lead to me self sabotaging our relationship [...]
You also might want to reflect on how all of the things you describe in this paragraph would actually qualify as emotional abuse of your boyfriend, not self-sabotage. This is really dangerous because getting back together with your boyfriend might make you both fall into your old ways, which can include the addiction and the abuse. I hope you've recovered enough for that to not happen.
Anyway, I'm going to stop talking before I make more of an ass of myself. Just know that there's always people you can reach out to if you need help or for a random chat on the internet. I should go to bed. Goodnight.
It sounds like you've found a great guy, I can understand why you wouldn't want to let him go. I hope he sees just as much greatness in you.
I feel by making the small sacrifice of having a sub optimal relationship dynamic I am making it so that for once the good guy wins.
Don't set yourself on fire to keep someone else warm, but if this is what you both want then give the relationship dynamic (not the fire thing) a try. I also can't help but notice that all of your examples of bad people are in the USA -- you might find a more optimistic outlook in Europe or in other developed countries.
Everyone knows that men benefit more from relationships then women, I am taking on that burden to make it up to him
Please don't ever believe this. It's just internalized misogyny. If you're in a relationship where you're giving more than you're getting, that's a horrible relationship and you should leave.
Identity and morality are way more heavily intertwined than your reasoning makes it out to be. Rules that maintain group cohesion is part of the group's identity, but you've defined that as morality. For example, the mafia is known specifically for their lack of morality within their ranks and outside of it. Religious communities have similar reputations (e.g. hating minorities, others, etc.).
My biggest objection, though, is the idea that there must be an in-group. That implies that there is an out-group. A stable society is not one where there is inequality in any appreciable amount. People in the out-group will feel like outcasts and will literally fight to become part of the in-group. I don't think anyone would call (civil?) wars a sign of stability*.
PS If you ask a less leading question you might get less downvoted
* They could be a sign of upcoming stability, though that's not the same thing.
You need to rebuild that trust that was destroyed by the cheating and the breakup. You should also have a long talk with your boyfriend about any unhealed wounds from that time. If you're going to make it work, a lot of communication needs to happen and keep happening. It sounds like you made a good first step by identifying part of the reason you cheated and fixing it!
So we are getting back together I remember how much I love him and miss him the past 9 months without him and he is missing me to
I'm a bit concerned about this. These are natural parts of a breakup and really aren't good reasons to get back together, since it could just as easily be an inability to get over each other. Also seeing your comment in reply to another
Also we don’t want to break up. I have been through so much with him and he has done so much for me. He likewise knows that dating is hard especially where we live it’s not like he has girls sliding into his dms to replace me.
It gets more concerning. It sounds like both of you want to stay together because you don't want to be alone. A healthy relationship is one that all parties can leave at any moment but choose to stay because they want to. You don't want it to be like an addiction where you say you can quit anytime but really you can't because you won't be able to handle the withdrawal.
I think a healthy mindset for this is that being single is ok. Breaking up will be ok, eventually. I'm not saying you should break up and be single, but just you should be aware that if you're wondering why you're putting up with your boyfriend, it's because he's adding more than being single (with friends and maybe casual sex) can to your life. If that's ever not true, run.
It might be time to boycott Egypt too
Preface: I don't dislike the King, I dislike the monarchy. Hate is too strong of a word -- I think it's not worth the effort to completely remove the monarchy from the Canadian constitution (it opens a can of worms), but I think next time the constitution gets changed it should be done.
Canada doesn’t pay anything towards the Royal family except the cost of visits
That seems like a great reason to not like the guy. He takes our money whenever he visits. If I visit another country they don't pay for anything.
He has no power, and he uses his influence
"Soft power" is another term for influence, so the king still has power.
campaign on the same things people on here like climate activism and access to healthcare.
That's great! Except he's doing it on private jets and with enough money to pay for many people's healthcare.
Honestly, I think Elon Musk has more credentials for political influence (he did at least run a few moderately successful companies with his parents' money). And I'm under no illusions that Elon Musk is a good influence. What are the king's credentials? Being heir to dictators responsible for colonialism, many wars, etc.? Sounds like a really bad case of nepotism. The king is doing good work now, but there's nothing stopping him from using his influence for something incredibly destructive in the next five seconds.
Good point (I shouldn't drop words). The Z2 A, which is in the lower-end Xbox Ally X, is basically the Steam Deck's chip. AMD naming is so strange.
It's mostly an iteration on existing handhelds with extra Microsoft changes on top. It's exciting if you don't want to leave the comfort of Windows. Unfortunately, it's just as much of a nightmare for privacy and other ethical reasons as other Windows handhelds. It also seems like it's going to be power hungry and not aimed at directly competing with the Steam Deck, which is still the industry standard right now. Handhelds need more efficiency, not more performance.
Also it's Z2 Extreme, not Zen 2 Extreme. The Steam Deck's APU is based on Zen 2, the Z2 is based on Zen 5.
Repeating misogyny is still harmful even if it isn't your own thoughts that are misogynistic
Packages aren't mail? Fair enough, I guess I'm the odd one out there.
Everyone except for me might be on the same page about package deliveries, though I still don't understand why they would be.
