“but at least we’re not as bad as the US” is Canada’s unofficial motto.

Thank you.

President’s Choice Blue Menu Twice the Fruit Jam Raspberry is one of the best I’ve had.

I’m currently buying a French fruit spread from Costco that reminds me of it, but I’m thinking of going back due to shopping more at Loblaws again 🤢 Sacrifices must be made to support Canadian.

If I may ask a side question, what are some good 100% peanut butters made in Canada? The Kirkland brand is made in Canada, with Canadian peanuts, but it’s an American company. Again, Loblaws has a decent one, but it is super expensive. Most peanut butters are American.

Yeah, VLC played it, but Plex didn’t recognize it. Just saying, could be something as simple as that since OP isn’t using VLC.

Only a fool doesn’t believe when some tells them their intentions and is surprised when it happens.

If I am wrong, I will be happy that I was prepared for the worst.

If you are wrong, your world will be crumbling because you don’t want to imagine that you are wrong.

I hope you are right. At least I will be ready if you are wrong.

I was recently ripping some DVDs and a few in the process were being recognized as such. Turns out, they were simply missing “.MP4” for the file name.

Trump is saying it.

His party is saying it.

The Canadian Government is saying it.

The Provincial Governments are saying it.

You are the one who has their head buried in the ground. This is real.

You are right.

Still doesn’t change the fact that the US won’t respect any Indigenous people if they invade.

I guarantee you that the best approach for Indigenous people is not through working with the US.

For the sake of Canada and Indigenous people everywhere, we must pull together to create a united front to fend off this enemy.

To test it, you could try rubbing the pad with a graphite pencil. Won’t be as good or a permanent fix, but if it works then you will know what the problem is.

Binnington didn’t lose them the game, but he didn’t win them it either.

That being said, you can’t expect to win only scoring once. They needed to get in front of the net for deflections or picking up a rebound. Instead, they kept trying to force passes through 3 or 4 players, turn over the puck, and get zero offensive zone time. It was so frustrating to watch.

Better vote in a bigger fascist to correct this.

This is America.

Are you mad, Frink!? Put down that science poll!

“X has become increasingly hateful, toxic and less and less moderated.”

This is key to me. I know it’s not because Elon has other instances of repeating Nazi, neo-Nazi, and fascist points, Twitter is such a terrible platform now that it is a no-brainer to ban it. There are other sources, let’s use them.

Oh, I know it, but I’ll let someone else get it.

I replied to @[email protected], and you can find my reply here.

Here’s the things that actually helped me:

• Teachers/authority figures making me feel heard and valued. (From ECS to Highschool graduation, I had maybe 4 teachers who really went out of their way to help)
• Fellow students who stood up/spoke up for me (I had a group of boys corner me in the washroom and start berating me and until I broke down and started crying. A boy, who I didn’t even know his name, but was accqainted with came in and stood up to the group. I will never forget what he did.)
• Friends
• people going out of their way to make me feel welcome (when it happened I didn’t know why they were being so nice to me.)

Things I think would have helped:

• Knowing that it’s okay to need help
• someone telling me the things happening are not acceptable or normal

Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk (Burns Sells the Plant)

Burns is uncomfortable talking to Smithers, and instead maybe feels like he could be more comfortable talking to Snappy the Alligator about missing out on life because he was so wrapped up with his power plant.

Much of the discussion around New York Ninja is it’s rediscovery, and it’s a fascinating story. What I find even more fascinating is how they essentially knowingly made a so-bad-it’s-good movie, and isn’t ever supposed to work.

No idea what I was a part of, but it is special Ed adjacent.

I was forced into a program in Jr. High because I had behavior issues (of course nothing was done to the bullies and attackers, just the person retaliating). It was like a 3 week program where they analyzed you (poorly because I knew all their testing methods and was not cooperating), stuffed you in a corner, and told you do homework for the day and then an hour for phys-ed. I stopped doing the homework after a while and just started playing my GBA.

It was humiliating, but I will say, the kids removed from the their situations were actually really great people despite being labeled as trouble makers or problems.

Anyways, I changed schools, and then changed schools, then got expelled and changed schools again, and eventually I graduated highschool. I then attended university and completed two programs.

Now, over 20 years later, I am actively unpacking and working on these issues from school because I fell through the cracks and was actively punished for being a victim.

The Basement Brothers are a good channel. I enjoy the quality of their work and what they are aiming for with their videos.

I think I first became aware of the games on Japanese PCs when I discovered that Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake on the MSX2 was the actual Sequel to Metal Gear and not Metal Gear Snake’s Revenge. And that was when I played MGS 3: Subsistence.

I didn’t know Lagoon was a Y’s Clone and on the X68000 originally. It does explain a lot. As a child I recognized it had some odd design choices.
