I very much appreciate you checking for me.

Is grayjay still dark theme only?

Nearly all channels I follow are on YouTube and no where else. To make YT less of a privacy issue, I use frontends. PipePipe on Android and Freetube on Linux.

it's the only way to be sure.

Looks like an egg from Aliens.

Pebble Mouse 2 M350s from Logitech. Silent clicks and works on three devices. Bluetooth pairing, no dongle. Low cost as well. It's also very small if packing it for travel is necessary.

I went for a three device mouse due to an elbow injury. I can be watching a video on my laptop and playing sudoku on my tablet without having to bend my elbow for long periods of time.

Who is going to pay my bills if I'm protesting instead of working?

I could go to one protest on my day off but why should it be a First Nations cause? And which First Nations cause should it be? Land rights? Fishing? Names of streets, statues, and building? Residential Schools? All worth causes that should be fixed.

There are civil rights, environment, anti-police, Gaza and privacy issues just to name a few. Everyone has their own cause they want to change.

Maybe you don't see many people protesting because there are so many different causes (only a small number per protest) and most people are just getting by with no time left.

For the most part, its the government oppressing the First Nations, not the population of Canada.

Hugh Segal, Canadian Senator was in charge of a UBI study many years ago. He stated that if all of our government handouts, over 60 at the time, were replaced by a UBI the country would save several billion dollars.

I'll try to find that study.

I've experienced your second paragraph. Cops are not to be trusted.

Sure, cop shows are like that as well. They are so unrealistic.

Replace all the social services your country has with a guaranteed basic income. Everyone gets it and it doesn't run out like unemployment benefits. Another benefit, unlike welfare, is the person can keep working.

People believed in all manner of things without supporting evidence long before the internet arrived.

What about people's overall health? Two years isn't much but if a person's last ten years is lived with less pain and more mobility that is something.

Medical technology has greatly improved. More people survive cancer, aids, surgery is far less invasive, and better medications.

Technology in general is getting better.

We have a faster internet. I love having access to so much information. Sure, there are far more gullible fools who believe in all manner of silly stuff but I feel the internet has done more good than bad.

This may happen to me once a week.

No, but I have done and said stuff that gives me an intense feeling of embarrassment when I recall the event.

Sounds like something a bot would ask.😄

100% agree. This morning I was thinking about a reply (didn't have time before leaving for work) along these lines. But more of reporting to any nearby active shooter situation and helping the cops in exchange for a free gun and training. I like your idea as well.
