  • In Scarborough, Canada where I grew up, shootings occur once every few years at the malls I go to, a library or neighbourbood park I’ve been to or like yeah even if i don’t get a gun pointed at me in my life, knowing that shootings have happened in places I’ve been to is harrowing to know. In the US, it happens several times a year in many neighbourhoods. Compare Chicago and Toronto, cities of similar size and climate, one has 2726 per year shootings, the other has 461

    When mass shootings happen regularly, and knowing that gun ownership is ubiquitous (rather than largely connected to presumably illicit criminal weapons), active shooter drills are as commonplace as fire drills worldwide, it’s a structural fear, of course we’re not paralyzingly afraid all the time, but it’s built into peoples’ upbringing. The effects bubble up in other areas and affect overall happiness.



  • Any Linux OS with Steam installed, but yes most likely the same on SteamOS.

    My experience with games on Steam:

    • 75% of games: Click to Download, click Play, nothing more needed.
    • 20% of games will work, might need to select a special Proton version or put in one command.
    • 4% of games need tweaks specific to that game, to enable multiplayer, get around certain crashes etc., OR the game works fine but multiplayer doesn’t work at all due to anticheat set to block Wine users.
    • 1% of games don’t work at all due to either anticheat, DRM or another problem.

    Workshop works just fine, 3rd party mods will often work, but then you’ll need to get into the weeds of Wine to properly set it up, since installers are separate to the game.
