After the last few years in particular, I'm at peace with giving the corvids and raccoons their chance. We should probably go extinct, for the good of the planet. I just hope it isn't too painful.
I'm conflicted on whether Canadians should warmly receive any 'conscientious objectors' this time around ('last time around' meaning war objectors in the Vietnam era).
While I understand their desire to flee what they feel is a dangerous domestic situation.. it's not to the same point as the Vietnam War where citizens were being conscripted to fight in a foreign conflict; today, they voted, and they got a government they may not like, but as citizens aren't they supposed to then work to get it back they way they want?
If they're eligible for emigration and can obtain landed immigrant status, fine. But they may have to live with fixing their problem at home, and cannot rely on being able to just pul up stakes and 'ride it out' in another friendly nation. If they end up not liking it in Canada, are they just going to leave there too?
Their boots on the ground and votes at the balloting stations will be needed more than ever in their home country in 2 and 4 years, presuming they'll get a chance to vote again; which is something they need to stay and fight for! (Be that in the courts, the halls of Congress, or even in the streets, heaven forbid).
Dammit TempurPedic. I almost had a clean slate there. Oh well, won't need a new bed for hopefully over a decade, so f'em.
Aaah! Begone hellspawn!

The man never stopped placing himself strategically to further enrich himself.
Selling $950M is ONLY CUTTING to 9% stake? Holy WTF.

And never, never EVER forget that he set back computing technology by at least a decade with his bullshit at Microsoft.
Concluding paragraphs are a thinly veiled bash at Golang and its creators. Whatever. I like Go. I like C. I like lots of other languages, for different reasons. Haven't learned Rust yet, but am already tired of the ivory-tower attitude of its proponents.

Myth: The Fallen Lords could use a good successor using modern tech. But keep the mechanics and storyline essentials the same, it was amazing.
EDIT: And Thief: The Dark Project too. (Styx: Master of Shadows felt a bit like a spiritual successor, but not quite..)
Too many legs and arms :p
Oh, it's not my project -- I already have moved my own projects off there, yeah.

Are there any minor failures in your Tesla that you can claim warranty against? I wouldn't begrudge anyone stuck with one now who bought in the past, but a sort of civil disobedience, aimed at costing the company as much as possible, would be an ethical imperative here. Claim any warranty repair you can. Be a 'picky' customer. Make support and sales spend extra effort and money in any way possible for your property. After all, you paid for it, make them spend as much money as possible.
