Summer punks. That's what we call them in Canada. They live in the streets all summer and then when it starts to get cold, they commit a crime so they will go to jail for the winter.

I don’t have strong feelings about him positive or negative.

No.

I’m Acadian from Nova Scotia and can understand Cajun French perfectly. The dialects are very close.

No. There are people who love an care about you. Please confide in someone you trust or a mental health professional. I know that may be hard due to COVID and stuff but please try to seek help.

I agree that it’s calories that lead to weight loss however, the other advice given is helpful. Like eating “slow carbs” as opposed to carbs that break down easily (ie white bread, white rice, etc) can lower your risk of type 2 diabetes and colon cancer. Not to mention, I find when I eat too...

I like to cook, and eat. What are some good recipes?

LOL I’m glad that nut case Larry Elder didn’t get in in California. Anyway, Trudeau got re-elected in Canada and the PPC didn’t get any seats. I was expecting them to get at least one. But yeah PPC supporters were hanging out at the polls where I live, and they actually managed to get two...

Like, the PPC (People’s Party of Canada) is doing will in Canadian polls and may get a seat in Parliament (election on Monday) and the party is just straight off the 2015 Internet, it’s ridiculous. The PPC has no plans for the economy, housing, or climate. Nothing for health care or education...

You know, I was just remembering an experience that happened to me in Africa. I was in a store in Swakopmund, Namibia, and I heard a really thick accent from the Canadian province of Newfoundland coming out of the mouth of a dude working at a store. It caught me off guard because I was on the...

Yeah it seems every morning when I check the news I'm like "So, what chapter of Revelations are we on now?"

I agree with you that people will likely go back to ethnicity but I don’t think that is what is innate to humans. Tribalism is and that is different, as you can make tribes out of anything. I guess a way to explain it would be, if you know object oriented programming, tribe is a class and race...

I think in that kind of situation it would be more community, though. For most people, that's people of the same ethnicity, but that may not always be the case. Like, probably you'd be more likely to stick with people in your own neighbourhood, and if you lived in a neighbourhood that was...

Interesting discussion that just showed up in my "Recommends" on YouTube. This seems to have a left slant but it's still interesting, ignore the buzzwords though (the word "neoliberalism" makes me want to punch kittens) because it's worth it, and I figured it would make an interesting discussion...

Started this thread because I found a book that is truly fascinating, it’s about the history, of the Aztecs, in their own words. I find particularly fascinating how they dealt with the arrival of the Spanish, who they knew through sophisticated reconnaissance operations that they had better...

I got it

I had to laugh at this. Canada still has restrictions in place. Indoor gatherings are still not allowed but people are allowed to gather outside. The Montreal Canadiens are in the Stanley Cup finals, but the arena is pretty much empty and the game is being projected on a screen outside the...

They found 750 more bodies this week. Canada Day celebrations across the country are cancelled this year as a result. I know this may sound like superficial, performative, and useless, not to mention would probably stir up a huge culture war, but I actually wrote to my local MP about revising...

I dunno man, Austrian economics, aka Neoliberalism (though I hate that word) is on its way out, since there was no provisions in the school of thought to deal with a pandemic. RIP, died of COVID. The financial crisis of 2008 also didn’t help. Seems the world is moving towards Keynesianism.
