Well I'll conter sue because I'm re-cycling my own joke I posted before which itself was probably already stolen from a source I forgot.

I thought Trump had appointed Clarke and Joe to head the "lets do 'something' about illegal immigrants and muslims" department, but nope.

There was a mention about Racism in Canada, and I feel like we don't look as racist as the US as we don't have a legacy of slavery or Jim Crow, and its not focused mostly on Blacks. Most racism I hear is about SEA people, North African, Middle Eastern, general brown peoples, but mostly immigrants. It's weird though because I've met people who are immigrants that are racist as gently caress. From what I can tell, its people who come to Canada and are doctors and laywers and other professionals seeing the lower classes from their home countries coming and old prejudices are being importated. I had a guy who was a Doctor from Lebenon tell me he is going to move to somewhere they don't have taxes because the lazy immigrants make them too high. Or The kid from India that was in one of my University Classes who refused to take a course because the teacher was from a Untouchable Caste. The gently caress?

Not we don't have regular rear end white racists. Wonderful group calling themselves Sons of Odin are wandering Toronto threatening anyone darker than a paper bag, because anyone who names themselves after something Norse is probably a racist. In the 90s there was a serious problem of neo nazis in Suburban Toronto, Jews and others were attacked, even on their own property. Ernest Zundle, one of the most famous Holocaust Deniers hide out here for a while and all the while whined about Free Speech while he laughed at people who would tell about their families that died in the camps.

Hell I see it at work; the cashiers i supervise are mostly women who are very diverse, and I've seen customers avoid the Afghani women or the West Indies girl, and come to me, the older white guy. It really pisses me off and I've seen it way too many times; white people avoiding none whites in service jobs.

Oh Doug Ford, the Late Rob Fords brother is going to run for Mayor of Toronto again and he was saying how he plans to "drain the swamp, like Trump Did" so put in a bunch of cronies, morons, racists, and generally the worst possible people for every job. Good luck with that.

Agreed. Stop drinking soda/pop it is so bad for you. Also you will lose weight.

I have been trying to quit smoking but I'm at the point where I am both terrified and accept that I will probably die with a cig in my mouth. I really want to quit though because I bet my kickboxing sessions would be twice as long.

You have to go cold turkey. All three times I quit smoking, it worked for me.

Serious post: Two things that actually made a difference in succeeding on that third attempt, and I think are essential. First, have a serious and concrete reason to quit. "It's bad for me and I should" is a terrible reason that will lead to failing. Making goals around kickboxing lessons is good. Second, change up all your routines. Take a different route to work. Go to a different gym. Move your computer to a different floor. Smoking is a habit, and it's a lot easier to change everything up and not including smoking in the new routine than it is to keep to old routines but will your way through your normal smoke breaks.

There's decaf tea/coffee, as well as tea-like things which naturally have no caffeine (rooibos comes to mind).

I buy crystal light packets and previously bought a liter sized glass bottle for this exact reason. Water intake went way up.

WRT smoking. I started as a young Ensign (2nd LT in other branches), which going back a couple of pages, got me in good with a certain group of chiefs (senior NCOs in the Navy) who I'd meet on the smoke deck. As a consequence I smoked on and off again for about 6 years but finally quit cold turkey after I saw and felt a MEASURABLE difference in my run times for our semi-annual fitness test. That and I always felt like poo poo waking up. It got to the point where every time I smoked a cigarette I hated it, which made it easier to give it up.

Perrier (and probably others) also make excellent 0-calorie flavoured sparkling water. It's a bit pricey I guess, but it's still a nice change from normal water.

Honestly I've never gotten the whole 'everything's a Coke' in the South. I used to live down the street from the Coca-Cola headquarters and all my life people have asked for the specific drink they want, whether it's a clear Coke, Coke with Jitters, Fatty Coke, Yankee Coke, or Green Mountain Coke.


Coke-cola.

Building a kegorator to dispense only carbonated water pays for itself pretty fast, doesn't violate BDS and as a bonus you can dispense beer too!

I lived in an appartment block with three cambodian families as a tween, we were close friends with the ones on floor 6.
Everybody's low income, working class because of our jobs and and how we're treated by society at large (white privilege applies until you open your mouth and you're "ugh foreign").
So one day we're in the elevator with floor 6 and floor 3's cambodian couple gets in and they say hello to us but deliberately nothing to floor 6.
Turns out they're from different social statuses and floor 6 are filthy peasants or something.
They earn the same, live in the same crappy paper thin walled concrete junk housing but floor 3 won't even look at floor 6 because of imported predjudices.

In my sisters highschool class, 3rd gen maroccan kids (arabic) refused to be sat next to berbers (indigenous) so she'd be put in the middle.
¯\_(°_°)_/¯

Then again it's same with the whole expats vs immigrants debate: expats consider themselves better than immigrants so they came up with a whole new word for it.

And whether i'm among brit or french immigrants to europe I have to code switch to international business english with a limited accent vs my working class northerner patois in english in any situation where you'd want to be taken seriously (and it's obviously the same for french).
