What specifically do you mean when you say “Open MacOS”? Open to what? You can already install anything you want on it. It’s unix based, so your terminal works mostly the same as in Linux. You’ve even got a package manager (homebrew), so you won’t miss apt or whatever else you use. iOS is another discussion, but imho, OSX is “open” enough.

Superb write-up, well done! Echoes my experience completely.

Negotiating your healthcare, like you’re buying a pair of jeans in a Turkish market. How wonderful.

Off the seven seas? Try Britbox. Relatively affordable, no ads whatsoever. They’ve got Cats does Countdown, QI, Mock the Week etc.

Britbox has all the series since the start, when Stephen Fry was presenting.

You know what REALLY bugs me about the NYPD? Whenever there’s any big event like the NYE you just mentioned, they always put those fucking metal barriers up EVERYWHERE. Some places I get, you have to separate say a parade route from the stands, fine. But they close off random bits of sidewalk, or funnel everyone through a tiny opening, so there’s always huge clumps of humanity. Last year in Brooklyn, for July 4th, they made a fucking maze of barriers and they let too many people in so it was jam packed, you couldn’t move in any direction. People were getting crushed against the barriers and couldn’t get out, we were all screaming at them to move the fucking barriers and they just stood there, hands on their guns, like the cowardly assholes they are.

So fucking dangerous, it’s by sheer dumb luck that no one died there (afaik).

And all of it is completely pointless. I was just in Toronto for the NYE fireworks. No cops, no barriers, tons of people, and it was completely fine.

Guess they need to spend all that extra budget they got from defunding the library on something. Might as well be barriers and big SUVs, ey? Fuckers.

In any group, there’s always that one obnoxious bro, isn’t there?
