    There’s no basketball threads at all?

    Here to take this forum’s post virginity. No basketball fans in here?

    YouTube has broken people’s brains

    Like, the PPC (People’s Party of Canada) is doing will in Canadian polls and may get a seat in Parliament (election on Monday) and the party is just straight off the 2015 Internet, it’s ridiculous. The PPC has no plans for the economy, housing, or climate. Nothing for health care or education...

    Is ethnocentrism inherent to humans?

    Interesting discussion that just showed up in my "Recommends" on YouTube. This seems to have a left slant but it's still interesting, ignore the buzzwords though (the word "neoliberalism" makes me want to punch kittens) because it's worth it, and I figured it would make an interesting discussion...

    What are you reading?

    Started this thread because I found a book that is truly fascinating, it’s about the history, of the Aztecs, in their own words. I find particularly fascinating how they dealt with the arrival of the Spanish, who they knew through sophisticated reconnaissance operations that they had better...

    IPSC Shooting

    This is a new activity I picked up during the pandemic. I get exercise outside and I'm 6 feet away from other people. Anybody else try it? Unfortunately I cannot post a video of myself in action because I could lose my handgun permit if I posted myself using a firearm on social media (weird...

    Should health care be denied to people who take part in anti-mask/anti-lockdown protests?

    The Canadian government is considering this. Canada has public health care, so it’s not that people would be denied care, it’s just that if you show up at an anti-mask/anti-lockdown protest, and if hospitals get overwhelmed, you will be considered to have voluntary forfeited your access to...

    Don't buy fish or seafood from Clearwater

    Do you like fish or seafood? Well, please make informed decisions when you buy. Don't buy anything from Clearwater. Actually, to be safe, don't buy anything imported from Canada. If you haven't heard on the news, there is a dispute between indigenous ad non-indigenous fishermen in Nova Scotia...

    The October Crisis - Canada, 1970

    Today is the 50th anniversary of the October Crisis. I have to say there is a lot of creepy irony here, in the sense that exactly 50 years later, Canada is again under national lockdown, with the same emergency powers being invoked by a prime minister with the same name. Anyway, thought I'd...

    So I tried out Augmented Reality horror

    I tried out an augmented reality horror movie (if you can call it a movie). This is what happened: 1. It scared the shit out of me 2. I haven't slept in 2 days 3. I went to get groceries, when I came home it was dark, I was afraid to walk from my car to the house 4. I sat in my car for 20...

    Are Americans beyond gone?

    This is actually something on the mind of a lot of Canadians these days. Maybe they are no longer a reliable ally or trading partner, and we need to cut ties and maybe ink out trace deals with countries like China or India, or the EU or Latin America. I mean, we’ve said that about the right the...

    Ever discover a stereotype about your ethnicity is true?

    Well, during the COVID-19 lockdown, I’ve been working from home. For most things I am more productive (fewer distractions), but meetings get me... Because I really suck at explaining things over the phone lol There is a stereotype that Acadians use a lot of body language when they communicate...
