  • I use two spaces because I’ve been typing for a long time, lol

    Good eye! I still do it because, to my eyes, it makes it easier to indicate sentence boundaries while skimming the text.

    Some people say this is “wrong”, and I won’t enforce it on anyone, but I do it when I’m writing my own text. Not only do I like how it looks, but it’s a habit I’ve had for close to 30 years. It’s not worth fighting that level of muscle memory, especially when we have Find/Replace All! Haha






  • Isn’t the opposite the case in Ontario?

    If a landlord shares a certain portion of the home with the tenant, they can kick out the tenant without notice.

    A private landlord can also choose to move themself or a family member into a rented property, kicking out the tenant.

    A corporation can still evict a tenant, but aside from not being able to move themselves or a family member in, they generally have the same tools that a private landlord has.

    Please do correct me if I’m mistaken in any of this though.


  • How can someone that young think trump is a good choice is something I can’t fathom.

    Lack of experience seeing these kinds of people.

    I once saw someone explain Trump’s popularity…

    Cityfolk can tell that this guy is a useless yapping businessman who probably doesn’t know shit, and is probably going to rip you off and stab you in the back at any opportunity he gets (maybe just for fun).

    People in rural areas haven’t had as many opportunities to interact with these kinds of people, so they aren’t on high alert.

    The reason those scummy business people are so successful is because they’re charismatic (in a way), they’re confident, and they give answers that people want to hear (even if it’s a fabrication).

    Confident, charismatic people that say what people want to hear? He’s going to get a lot of votes. Especially from the people who don’t know how to detect that.

    Then there’s the fact that Trump blames his enemies for his failings, combined with various psychological factors in the voters (sunk-cost? Being blind to their own lack of knowledge?)… he’s able to maintain his status amongst his cult.
