Probably not random. Buncha fuckos out there who are racist against first nations people. Hell it was Canada's official policy for a long time. (U.S. is still pretty guilty of it considering how shittily they have and do treat native groups in the U.S., not sure exactly who is worse cause I'm not Canadian)

Canadian checking in; we had residential schools all the way into the 1990s and we've found bodies of First Nations children as late as the 1960s buried under the sites of former Catholic Church sponsored residential schools. Saskatoon's police department was kidnapping First Nations persons and dropping them in the wilderness to freeze to death in the middle of winter in the 2000s.

poo poo has always been really bad here and it continues to be bad. Last summer a shitload of Catholic churches mysteriously burned down after thousands of bodies of First Nations children were discovered on old residential school land. Nobody left of the Klan condemned it. To the right? Well... Use your imagination.

I bet there's an enormous argument right now at the Royal Canadian Mint as to whether to put Charles on the coins or actual Canadians for once.





(put Terry on a coin you cowards)

You're 17 years behind the times, they issued his loonie in 2005. Did you somehow never end up with one?

Apparently not. Should still have him permanently on one, though.

Morons distrusting experts finding idiots running a "wellness blog" to confirm their prejudices that they are right to distrust [thing they don't understand].

Things morons don't understand encompasses a lot of things, which goes some way to explaining a lot of the west's current issues.

This has all been enhanced by the proliferation of smartphones with high bandwidth high monthly cap mobile data plans.

56 kbps ought to have been enough for anybody.

Interesting. I wouldn't mind being part of a study on this. Almost three years in and I haven't gotten it yet despite being exposed to several cases (with subsequent precautionary self-isolation). A lot of people I know have had it at least once at this point.

Stochastic terrorism is the right's favourite tool of change. This was bound to happen as they've been left completely unchecked for the past 20 years.

Didn’t R.Kelly just get sentenced for this?

He specifically got convicted of three counts each of possession of child pornography and enticing a minor.

Knowing the kinds of things that lead to insane child abuse cults, his appears more like Yeezy is setting himself up for future arrest and conviction of production or at least aiding and abetting in such.

Dude, you can steal anything.

Short of nukes.

If you wanted to steal nukes you’d need a lot of co-conspirators, and they happen to be the people charged with making sure that poo poo doesn’t happen.

It works so well that when they hosed up, didn’t follow regs and procedures, the motherfuckers took live stealth thermonuclear cruise missiles outta their storage, and loaded them bitches on a B-52 headed across the country.

What loving scares me isn’t U.S. nuclear security, though.

How many Blyat’s are hiding in Russia’s nuclear weapons enterprise? That poo poo keeps me up at night.

The thing that is keeping me together every time Putin threatens canned sunshine is the vague possibility that, based on all of Russia's conventional forces' equipment, three quarters of their warheads are so far past their best-before date that the explosive lenses won't lens explosively.

If someone offered me a green card and a solid salary to move to Seattle I'd do it. Vancouver is lovely but wages are crap and there's no way in hell I can even think about living in any of the main cities with how little I make comparatively.

Vancouver: All the good and bad of Seattle but with effectively half the pay between low wages and a currency that isn't worth poo poo all.

Having the border in between definitely sucks. Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland seem to have much more in common with each other than either of them do with the rest of their respective countries.

That's just my perception from visiting Vancouver anyway. This part of North America feels really isolated from the rest of the populous parts of the continent, almost like an Alaska Lite.

Totally. I’ve got a NEXUS Trusted Traveler card and have for over a decade so I can realistically pop down to Seattle for a weekend whenever I like and it’s just like visiting an alternate reality version of my home. It’s one of the only other places I’d want to move to for work.

At this rate though I’m just going to hope for enough of a raise to move to Burnaby or Vancouver proper next year. I live in a nice apartment but it’s in the fuckin sticks and despite my oldest friends living out here as well I am tired as hell of there being no social scene around me and feeling like I’m going to die alone because of it.

Not gonna say it's a snuff film but I'd put money down that that's a video of a man's soul (or whatever you want to call it) leaving his body forever. He had a severe concussion less than a week ago that the people in charge reclassified as a back spasm and got thrown back into the ring for another traumatic brain injury tonight. That video there is the last we see of him, and it's his body going "well, poo poo's hosed, better brace for whatever's next" in a sign that's known to be associated with extreme traumatic brain injury.

If he's insanely lucky he's going to spend the next ten years slowly working on recovery but never getting back to a fully able state. If not, he's gone. His body may keep ticking along but the man in that brain is no longer there from sheer shock trauma.

I don't know if it's the sheer amount of padding and armour that stop people from thinking causing and receiving traumatic cranial hits is a bad idea or what but holy poo poo football should be shut down forever, or at least until they can figure out how to play it without catastrophically altering people's brains as a regular practice.

Between the last 18 hours of current events and watching a football player's consciousness give up forever, I'm not sure how well I'm going to sleep tonight.
