What I learned from this video:
Some clinics are closed on Sunday. They only try one.

When you come into the ER with a fake wrist sprain, you are not taken very seriously in relation to people who are actually in need of care, having heart attacks and stuff. What kind of person believes that it's first come first serve in an ER, or that even if their wrist was sprained that it isn't just best to wait for the clinic to open on Monday?

When you can't get a random blood test they let themselves be referred to a private (expensive) clinic. Because Canada's not interested in wasting tax dollars on fakers. They guys from the video act like this is their only, only option. gently caress these guys.

So, in conclusion: as warped a view as I expected.

My uncle (former Canadian, living in the US) actually said, almost verbatim, that people who can't access medical care didn't work hard enough to deserve it. WAT

Some of us have identities that fall outside of the traditional gender binary, and feel that neither the masculine nor feminine pronoun set is accurate to apply to us.


Kind of. Male/female can be loaded terms as they apply to identity, and should really only be used to talk about someone's gender assignment at birth. Generally, man/woman or masculine/feminine are far better terms.

As far as the singular they being grammatically incorrect, I have news for you!

STRAIGHT TROPIN'

Military, police, firefighting - The fight is ongoing, with no clear winner. SJWs have scored some significant wins by shaming these institutions into adopting lower standards for females so that at least one or a few qualify in every graduating class. Lowering standards in life-and-death professions literally puts human lives at risk, so this is arguably a bigger infraction than anything else SJWs have done in any other domain. There was also an incident where soldiers were forced to wear high heels in some sort of mandated demonstration under threat of disciplinary action. That's just cruel and inhumane. More attention needs to be paid to this front.

I doubt it. Even hyper conservative Canadians don't usually jive 100% with the sort of underlying political expectations of the US. We were founded differently and colonized very differently and continue to think differently. Some of the most hardcore conservative people I know would probably be considered moderate down there.

I've heard and still hear the exact same thing said about Europe. The only real difference between the US and the rest of the West is that, everywhere else, the more sensible conservatives know to distance themselves (at least officially) from the spiteful bigots bitching about how they have slightly less power over minorities than their parents and grandparents.

Is he complaining about DOAX 3 not being released in North America? That's the new hill to die on for GGs.

The really dumb thing is its clearly a business decision because the games are terrible and sold like poo poo. They are collections of bad mini games and then a bikini trading game. That was about it, and nothing says designed to appeal to a certain type of Japanese gamer than that. Playasia has been promoting that they're selling it as if it was some kind of subversive act. I've seen a lot of idiots getting them selves worked up over the stupid game.

I'm pretty sure they're the same people who are pissed off that there won't be any more Rapelay games.

Not that I've seen among my circle, but I have seen a lot of "this is a black day for our country, watch Trudeau run us into the ground by spending money on OTHER countries while our OWN PEOPLE SUFFER.

You know, apart from the fact that he's launched an inquiry into the missing and murdered Aboriginals, aka helping our own people. But whenever I see someone say "we should help our own people first!" my mind automatically rewords it to "they should help ME first!" I have never seen a single person complaining about us giving humanitarian aid ever voice their concerns for the native population. They're all just drunk indians to those hicks.

Is it 'winning' as in 'actually beating one of the eternal duelling champions OoT and FFVII', or 'winning' as in 'still in the race after a couple rounds and maybe knocking out a favorite like Earthbound that never truly had a chance'?

Because those things are stupid as poo poo, and Undertale's clearly just there because it's popular right now, but I'd love to see it coast on through to kill off a big Zelda or Final Fantasy. Those things were always a stupid laughing stock, but it's still weird that people put stock in them after a Tetris block won a character contest.

South Park and the fight back against idiocy


Over the last couple of weeks I have been keenly watching the latest season of South Park which appears to be tackling modern society and the acceptable idiocy within it.

South Park is controversial but it represents a very large majority of people; those who do not believe in this modern, post-liberal monstrosity that appears to have leaked its way in to every crack of daily life.

Most people are tired of political correctness and the dangers against free speech that it presents, and most of us are especially tired of the pretentious do gooders who conduct their ‘activism’ on Twitter or Tumblr when sitting on the toilet dropping a brown bomb.

People are tired of the concept of safe spaces and the people who feel entitled to one.

More and more people have woken up to the bullshit around them, and the fight back across media has begun where we will see this cancer finally scrubbed out of the pipes of our collective conscience and sent back to the pages of failed ideologies along with communism and the Marxism that these PC morons take inspiration from

I had the same reaction as one of the post's responses. Two hours to gather eggs? Even a factory farm doesn't take that long. Same for bottle-feeding calves unless you have a shitload of them, in which case gently caress you for making your kids bottle-feed that many calves. It's not nearly as cute and fun as it appears to be in those "Awwwww so :3:!!!!" photos people post who have never actually worked on a farm.
