Coffee is serious business, friends. It is integral to Canadian life, and therefore never a derail.

I am glad I am not dependent on caffeine due to not having a thyroid gland (at least that's my theory). I can literally drink a cup of coffee before bed and go right to sleep.

I despise the taste of coffee, and so have managed to avoid acquiring a caffeine dependence to stay awake. Saves me a couple hundred dollars a year as well.

I feel like that might be the only issue that gets any kind of visible resistance from the mushbrained residents of this dumb province.

However I am an unabashed lover of Red Rose tea. Sometimes somebody will try to get me to drink coffee and I just end up feeling like I drank battery acid and get jittery. It kind of sucks because I want to know the magic, but my body doesn't.

So I found out the federal Conservative candidate in my riding is Faith Goldy's BFF. It's a conservative riding, for sure, but I don't think it's that kind of conservative. edit: she's not homophobic, she has a gay

I think I was giving them too hard of a time before; I've since discovered that basically all restaurants suck and most are overpriced too. There are only two or three in Calgary I can consistently eat at and say, "that food was better than what I could cook for myself, the booze was better than what I keep on-hand at home, and worth the money" and honestly that makes me kind of sad. MILLIENNIALS are KILLING the restaurant industry!

I would also wind up downing 4 Red Bulls a night if I was on call, and still just pass out cold during morning rounds. Caffeine tolerance and fatigue are a hell of a combination. quote:Speaking of healthcare in Ontario, Ford has managed to piss off a good chunk of boomers/seniors with his backroom privatization negotiations if the people we get at our pharmacy are any indication.

AlbertaPol update: Kenney has rolled out his election promises. Highlights include: - halting the K-12 curriculum review (considering there hasn't been a whole system overhaul since the 1980s, this would not be great) - "expanding school choice" - repealing the law that requires worker's comp for farm workers - ending wind and solar subsidies (so much for my plan to stick solar on my roof later this year) - retreating from the $15 minimum wage for kids and servers Hey, welcome to my upcoming paleoconservative nightmare!

I think what bugs me is that conservatives live almost entirely just to dismantle, they never have ideas of their own that aren't just grift and poo poo, it's all about the great dismantling of the society they love to proclaim as "western civilization <3 <3 <3" so it's bizarre.

It's because they're not actually "conservatives" who want to conserve what society currently has, they're reactionaries who want to undo whatever progress we've made over the past ten/hundred/thousand years, depending how bad they are.

I mean poo poo you'd think the one thing that should be "conservative" would be protecting the environment, conservative and conservation literally come from the same word and if we destroy the environment there'll be no society to conserve anyway, but conservatives instead want to continue radically destroying everything that sustains life as we know it because they'll die and go to heaven so who cares.

There was a time about 50 or 75 years ago where the conservatives of the USA were big into the environment and natural parks and protecting wildlife etc. Doesn't mean much today, but there was a history there of them caring. That being said there a bunch of right leaning people in the hunting/fishing area that actually do give a poo poo about the environment but there isn't enough of the die-hards who care about preserving marsh/wetlands to make a big difference in the voting blocks.

Expanding school choice means attacking public schools and funneling more to private charter schools like they're doing in the states, right?

It means that but it also sometimes means the government will wholeheartedly support your decision to run a Christian school in your living room so you can raise your kids and your friend's kids to be weird shut-in fundamentalists.

I once read a bunch of education files related to weirdo homeschoolers trying to get their homeschooling network to be recognized as a private school that happened to have "campuses" in each family's home, instead of having each family be listed as homeschooling their kids. They gave their "school" a wacky name and listed all the parents as teachers and got letterhead and everything, and the ministry of education had to constantly slap them down saying "no it doesn't count as a school if your 'campuses' are 500 km away from each other and each campus has two children who are siblings and each campus has one teacher who is the students' parent and each campus is in that family's home". Homeschoolers are loving weird basically.

e:^^^ drat you  Charles Bukowski posted:Expanding school choice means attacking public schools and funneling more to private charter schools like they're doing in the states, right? Its that plus probably loosening the rules on home schooling so more people can raise a bunch of unvaccinated anti-social religious morons.

PittTheElder posted:Which three? Calgary actually has lots of good food, altho lots of it is more of the fancy expensive kind. If I had to pick a top three places to impress fancy foodies, I'd probably do Anju, Model Milk, and Bar Von Der Fels (and there's a handful of others that I probably like just as much, those are just the first 3 that come to mind). For "goodass food that doesn't break the bank" I'm pretty into Una Pizza, but nerds on the internet jerk off and fight about pizza constantly so ymmv. And for the really cheap stuff it's got the best Vietnamese sub/pho game in Canada, (or at least the most dense concentration of it) anyhow. If you only got three places you can eat at, you ain't trying. CRISPYBABY fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Feb 18, 2019 |
