Undoubtedly, I just wish we didn't suffer for it. He knows how we feel about him, but he only cares about how the world sees him.

Because he's delusional, and he's surrounded himself with sycophants, everyone else in the party who thinks he should've taken a cue from Biden and stepped down has been moved to the "backbenches"

I have been a Liberal since I was 12 years old. I have never voted conservative in 30 years of federal elections. But with Trudeau refusing to step down I have no choice but to vote conservative. The backbenchers know they're not going to get re-elected with him in charge and that's why most of them have been relegated to the back benches. He's surrounded himself with sycophant MPs, and is delusional enough to think the majority of the country is happy with him.

I'm willing to let Skippy axe the carbon tax and hopefully make living in this country affordable again. Ontario generally elects a provincial party that is in opposition, provincial liberals will get in and reintroduce cap & trade which will save us when the next liberal government is elected and tries to save the world again.

Someone important watched the latest episode of last week tonight. As someone with no iron in the fire, I'm glad there are still responsible adults running things from the background

I'm very sorry about this. But every time I read "jorkin depeanus" a picture of the Swedish chef pops into my head

Jorkin Depeanus

I work with middle eastern guys who are like this, they hide this side of themselves when I'm around (white guy) but it comes out when my female coworkers are alone. It's common enough that I've heard about it from multiple people. But when I'm around they're great and I consider them good work friends.

I bought Sony Bluetooth earbuds recently, out of the box they wouldn't connect. You have to download an app, and agree to their EULA which is essentially "Were gonna steal data about everything you listen to" before you can connect to them via Bluetooth. Returned them the same day. Fuck Sony.

Oh geez, I'm one of those people who can't code on paper. I was applying for something ages ago and I went in for a programming test and they handed me a paper test and my mind completely shut down. Put me in front a computer and I have no issues at all... It was embarrassing.

Our politicians are pushing hard for an American system in Canada, the provincial Conservative (Republican) governments are underfunding healthcare so they can turn around and say "See!? This is why we need a two tier system." it's bullshit.

Ripping Podcasts (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So lately I've been seeing shorts on YT about a D&D podcast that looks mildly interesting and I'm running out of good webnovels to listen to with TTS at work. So I thought I would give podcasts a shot...

They have instream ads... ~~And it's the same damn ad on repeat~~ Not the same ad, that was a Conan podcast I listened to in the past, but still it's like 4 ads in a row. Is there a tool to download these podcasts and strip their ads? I just read that there's a way to download them via rss so that's what I'm going to try now. But manual ad removal might get tedious over a hundred episodes.

I can't imagine with all the nerd centric podcasts that we wouldn't have automated a way to extract ads by this point.

Edit: At this point, trying a number of things. yt-dlp seems to be the best way to do it. If the podcast is available on YouTube someone most likely has already submitted SponsorBlock segments for it. You can then use yt-dlp to download the episode or the whole playlist using this command:


yt-dlp --sponsorblock-remove all --ignore-errors --format bestaudio --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 192K --output "%(title)s.%(ext)s" --yes-playlist 'PLAYLIST URL'

You can even run it directly in Termux on your Android phone and skip sponsors on the go.

I hate bugs, like HATE. But I watched that video of the girl living in the storage space in the ceiling. And she'd come down at night to eat food and piss in the sink... I'll take the bugs
