1. Currently the most prevalent form of decision-making in the western world

2. While you are correct in saying that the society owns

3. You have not for a second demonstrated here why

4. I love the way that you equate "state" with "bureaucracy". Is that how you really feel about the state

Toronto probably seems amazing if you are Canadian.

No, Canadians pretty consistently hate Toronto. Hating Toronto is the main thing we do here.

It's like how there are americans, and then there are new yorkers who wont shut the gently caress up about new york. Or there are brits, and then there are people from London who never shut the gently caress up about London.

It isn't that diverse compared to other cities I've visited or lived in, the people who think that are the kind of people who think having a Pizza Hut / Taco Bell combo is "ethnic diversity". It's true that minorities really aren't welcome in the little small towns outside of Toronto, so they are clustered there.

Ridiculous amounts of white guilt in lily white Canada, very little sympathy for the natives being systematically abused in the residential school system (not on american TV so isn't real to us)

I grew up Black in small town Ontario, it was pretty rad. Then I joined the Army and it was a little less rad. Canadians are mostly down with Black people.

Just dump all the ingredients into a single pot after you eyed them, shake the pot a bit in a feeble attempt to mix poo poo together, take a picture of the ensuing grease fire for your Instagram account then order a pizza when the fire department has left. That's how you cook.

What are the most overrated things in life?

1. Sex, 2. Pretty Girls, 3. Sex with pretty girls.

Now that we got this out of the way, I'd like to mention Happiness.

I think that concept is the biggest hoax of our era. It is only a holy grail or holy carrot that you try to follow with short term gratifications, parties, hookups, fast food, buying iphones and plasma TVs in order to get that little rush of dopamine.

When the dopamine is gone, you think you're doing something wrong (or if you're really stupid : not enough of it!) and you try it again.

Happiness is the promise of Heaven on Earth : that thing, that person, that item or feeling that you will one day get and solve everything, make you happy as if you had a permanent morphine shot going on.

I think that concept of happiness strictly equals consumerism.

So happiness is overrated because it doesn't exist and it's a coward exit : you want to be happy all the time, and never suffer.

Whereas TRUE fulfillment (not using happiness on purpose here!) probably must go through suffering and victory. But the suffering is never over, and that's a part of life. Otherwise, it's not worth it. There's no pleasure without pain, despite what the western Oprah culture tries to teach you.

The rest of Canada is bright white and if you haven't noticed this you're delusional.

Go explore and hear some tales from the locals. The small town provencal charm of rural Canada wears off pretty quick after the 30th racist joke though, eh.




But you see, Canadian whites (with no slavery ancestors) are like this, while United State Whites (with no slavery ancestors) are like THIS. Come to think of it, Detroit and Chicago are pretty close to Canada.

also, the last thing you want is square containers... the corners are harder to clean, thats why all tupperware usually has a more rounded shape

and if you literally go to target or lot less or walmart, you can buy life long tupperware that closes like a champ and you can use the rest of your life. a set is usually $20-$40, and contains everything you asignenpognapgnpenpgnpag
