Wow that’s really impressive! I’m used to having a great online platform to transfer money, but having government issued documents be digitized is a step beyond what we have here!

Always glad to see comrade Dale!

Hmmmm les croissants

Still love the truck!

This is beautiful! It gives me some northern Québec vibes. Lucky you to have this view a bike ride away

Aweil, continue comme ça!

Out of curiosity, would you mind sharing in what region you ended up moving to?

At the moment I just picked up thronefall, and really enjoy it. It’s great if you like tower defense and city building games, but don’t have too much time on your hands to get invested into longer games. The progression system feels good and adds a lot of replayability. It runs perfectly on Linux as well right out of the box!

I second OpenTTD, it takes a bit to figure it out, but it’s so much fun when you really get the hang of it

What a beautiful picture! Can I ask what city this is?

I believe he’s referring to the Iranian consulate in Damascus that was targeted and blown up by Israel a few days ago

Seconding exercise. Even if it’s something small like taking stairs on your commute instead of the escalator. It ultimately adds up to so much over any period of time.

Such a beautiful picture, I love how somber it looks. Where was this taken?

You’re asking the right question. It makes no sense that there aren’t raises across the board for healthcare workers who fall under the umbrella of working in the provincial healthcare system when the provincial leadership is getting a fat raise to counter inflation.

That said I was replying to the question of “should politicians be well compensated” to which I still think the answer is yes, since it makes a leadership position a good career path for someone who’s legitimately competent in their field. We don’t need more people like Legault and his cronies in politics, we need working class people who don’t come from old and lobbied money, and the way to do that is by making local politics more accessible to the working class.

And yeah, we should be getting better from elected officials, since right now it feels as though they’ll only listen to corporate interests, thinking short term until we’re back into the next electoral cycle.

This is a good take. Ultimately you’d want the government to be made up of genuinely competent individuals, and you’d only get that by offering salaries that are high enough to draw the required talent.
