Too bad most Canadians are fucking idiots and didn't realize or understand that 80% of households benefitted from the Carbon Tax, receiving more than what they paid in the first place.
We just decided to kick the environment in the groin and take money away from the poorest Canadians. And somehow the oil companies and media oligarchies framed this as a win for the "working and middle classes".
As I read it, their argument is that fascism can only be sustained if a sizable number of people who would suffer under fascism actively support it.
If only the tiny minority of elites that benefits from fascism actually supported it, it wouldn't be near the level of popularity necessary to be sustainable.
My mom did this in high school when a guy who was stalking her threatened to kill himself.
He's still alive, over thirty years later.

This used to be a funhouse, but now it's ~~full of evil clowns~~ just a Bass Pro Shop.
As a kid from up north, Crystal Palace was my favourite part of shopping trips to Moncton. When I was a student at UdeM, we frequently bemoaned Crystal Palace's closing. Playing laser tag or mini-golf stoned with classmates would have been amazing.
Either that or they'll tell you they "barely eat any meat" or that "they buy local whenever possible, which is more ethical right?".

Even if we discovered that plants feel pain to the same extent as animals, a vegan diet would still be the moral option seeing as an omnivorous diet requires more plants (via animal feed) than a vegan one.
Efficiency of energy transfer is lost very quickly at higher trophic levels.
At home I typically alternate between a V60, a French press, and an Aeropress. Since getting more into pourovers, the Aeropress has mostly been used for iced coffees in the summer.
That being said, I'm currently working as a barista full-time so I don't drink any coffee at home. My espresso consumption at work is already entirely unreasonable.
The update from CS:GO to CS2 made the game unplayable on my aging hardware which is the only thing that got me to stop playing.
I'm in a single-player game phase now, and I have to say it's nice having gaming sessions where I don't get called every slur imaginable. That being said, Counter-Strike scratches a very specific gaming itch for me, I'll definitely come crawling back one day.
Explain how AI haters or doubters cross over with Veganism at all as a comparison?
They're both taking a moral stance regarding their consumption despite large swathes of society considering these choices to be morally neutral or even good. I've been vegan for almost a decade and dislike AI, and while I don't think being anti-AI is quite as ostracizing as being vegan, the comparison definitely seems reasonable to me. The behaviour of rabid meat eaters and fervent AI supporters are also quite similar.
I had to drive around 1500km this past weekend in a rented mini-van. I don't own a car, so that's probably more distance than I've covered in a motor vehicle in the past 5 years.
Today, back home and on my way to work, there was rather torrential rain, but I was still so thankful to be back on the bike.
(Happy National Acadian Day to all Acadians!)
Craquez-vous une Alpine, mettez du 1755 ou les Hay Babies, pis faites du tapage pour laisser savoir aux Anglais qu'on est still là!
Two cappuccinos I made one after the other in my café today. This couple came in and wanted large cappuccinos, so I made them in our 16oz cups. Not my cup of tea (nor coffee) but if I can make what you want, I will! Unfortunely, my muscle memory is attuned to steaming/pouring 8oz capps, and so the first one came out somewhat more phallic than I intended 😅
The only thing worse than a shitty pour is a shitty pour in the same order as a drink you nailed.
I'm just curious! I'd love to know what type of cafés anyone here is working at.
My current café is kinda old-school Italian style coffee-wise but much more laid back and add some hippy-granola vibes for good mesure. Our beans are roasted in-house, and pretty much all the food we sell is made in-house as well, down to the sauces, and anything we don't make ourselves is bought locally.
I've worked in two other cafés prior to this one. The first was a kinda upscale third-wave spot that mostly attracted yuppies, and the equipment far surpassed the training of any of the staff. We had pourovers on the menu and maybe 1 and a half employees actually knew how to brew with a V60.
The second was a hardline traditional Italian-style café, which, if you're familiar with the coffee culture in Canada (where I live) vs Italy, is a silly idea. A lot of people here only know Tim Horton's or Starbucks, especially in a mostly rural province like where I'm situated. You have to meet people where they're at; scoffing at people for wanting sweetener in their latte isn't likely to encourage them to jump into the coffee world in whichever way one deems proper. It'll only encourage them to stick to Timmies or Starbucks instead of checking out local cafés with actually good coffee.
(For some context, I live in Canada, beer labels are bilingually English & French here)
I'm quite partial to Lil Jon's All I Really Want For Christmas, featuring the Kool-Aid Man.
Yes, the Kool-Aid Man.
