13 years old me in 1999: "Wow, what a bunch of mean people, good thing our real world leaders aren't like that"
I seriously felt like this was pushing it.
What a naive idiot I was.

Anyone who says that Québec isn't a racist province is full of shit. The more distance I took from my home province the more evident its flaws were. I love Québec but there's a lot of work to be done before we can be proud of ourselves.

Education for profit is such a disgusting concept. Only our sick system could've come up with it.
Just doing my part!
I'm sharing the site everywhere so people know to stay away from it.
Thank you for warning us!

"Police are warning students and universities not to access Sci-Hub, an "illegal website" that allows users to download scientific research papers normally locked behind expensive subscriptions."
Very bad indeed. That name again: Sci-Hub. Remember it so you can avoid it. Ahem.

Maudite bonne facon de ne plus gagner de sieges au Quebec pour les conservateurs.
Personellement, je n'ai aucun probleme avec ca. Les conservateurs n'ont jamais rien fait de bon pour le Quebec, voir pour le Canada.

I feel you quite acutely. In the pre social-media days I'd re-read the same graphic novels over and over again.

Vraiment le style de Legault de ne rien faire pour aider. Si ça ne l'aide pas à opprimer les minorités ou limiter les syndicats, ça ne l'intéresse pas.

Barn Owls were probably thrilled when we finally invented barns.

Funny you should say that. Manjaro with KDE Plasma is not the default distro for the PBP. I'm using Manjaro XCFE because it is lighter, it works well but I'm not sold quite yet.

Centralization is totally fine, until it isn't.
Robinhood would never shut people out of buying an asset... until they did.
A guillotine is a perfectly safe place to put your head, until it's not.

I live in Iqaluit, Nunavut!
Maybe my own bias peaked out there, having no kids and a pretty chilled life, I miss camping and hiking. I also miss road trips, there's maybe 10Kms from one end of Iqaluit to the other.
Full disclosure I'm still onboard for a Yoga retreat in Costa Rica now and then :P
