OHMMM

Bikes are already banned from sidewalks though.

Not to worry, discrete GPUs will likely go away completely within a few generations.

I've become a Canadian citizen fairly recently, and the first time I have ever encountered anything related to the King since the past eight years I've been living here was during the Citizenship Oath. Which was a fun little ceremony.

You don't even have to become a citizen to live in Toronto. Instead I'd just simply not live in Toronto because it's a shit place, not because of some irrelevancy.

So don't let Charles hold you back!

Never get there if we don't start!

No, it was rather easy. I was only eleven years old though. The consciousness of it and the method to squelch it at first, without saying it out loud, helped a lot. The therapist really only highlighted it once for me. But it didn't help that to get to this point I got traumatized by a whole class of vicious fifth graders laughing at me while I was reciting something in front of the class. 🙄

All good. Looks like my comment got axed for some reason, even though I've intended it as a positive critique.

I've noticed that people like using "I mean" as a filler or figure of speech. But when you keep seeing it over and over again, especially multiple times in a single comment, or in a comment chain, it's really noticable.

I used to say "uhm" out loud a lot while forming sentences. It's a placeholder to give your mind a pause to catch up what you are trying to say. A speech therapist highlighted this to me and got me to slowly phase it out by first squelching it and just internalizing the "uhm", then completely getting rid of it and rely on silent pauses instead. It helped me realize these speechpatterns, doesn't matter whether they are used as a run on or a pause. And "I mean" really caught on the past few years as a faux intellectual discourse marker, so it's extra noticable for me.

Looks like there's some more about its usage here:

Ocean City is the new Atlantic City anyway.

Out of stock everywhere, since they've stopped manufacturing it.

I'll look into it (linux). Thanks!

I can't believe reddit used to love this dude.
