Woah, just reading iSerial Reader brought back a flood of Mac piracy memories from the depths of my brain.

This one sentence on the article pretty much summarizes the problem:

It’s not surprising these groups check out of politics, especially when there is mounting evidence that legislators favour higher status voters.

The two main parties can barely pretend to give a fuck about the poors anymore, and the NDP has basically regressed to being equivalent of the Liberals a decade ago. The Federal Greens are a joke.

I only vote because I’m queer and the Conservatives have a much more aggressive form of homophobia than the Libs.

Québec doesn’t have a crown corp telecom, but Vidéotron is a major player there.

I’ve no experience with them (when I briefly lived in Montréal my internet was with TekSavvy) so I can’t comment on how they compare with Rogers/Bell.

Unwatched is Apple-only.

If you’re looking for similar stuff for other platforms, FreeTube is great on desktop, and Tubular is my Android YT app of choice.

Things that are violent:

• Imprisoning and deporting innocent immigrants

• State-sanctioned murder of black people via police

• Legislating away the human rights of trans people

• Forcing women to give birth against their will

The real illiberal, fundamentalist, totalitarian terrorists are on the right. I didn’t shed a tear for Kirk and I wouldn’t for PP or JK, either.

If you think bacon on ice cream is weird enough to cancel an order, I can only imagine you’ve never worked a customer service job.

2015 will be the last federal election under first-past-the-post!

(I don’t disagree with your comment, I just think it says more about the sorry state of things than it does Trudeau.)

Don’t underestimate how much American MAGA rhetoric has infiltrated Canada. A lot of people here are bigoted against immigrants, queers, natives, or [INSERT MARGINALIZED GROUP HERE].

Even in my heavily Liberal city, I’ve heard someone suggest a homeless hunting season (as in, a season to hunt homeless people). I’ve seen a guy rage because city hall was flying a Pride flag. I’ve heard people say they’re scared to go to the mall because there’s too many immigrants now.

I do truly think most people I encounter have their hearts in the right place, but I’m often surprised at what some of them say, even the ones who seem nice. Unfortunately, I think this rightward shift represents more of the population than we’d like to admit.

I don’t typically use a VPN so take my advice with a grain of salt, but I’m pretty sure what you’re looking for is split tunneling. Set it so that all traffic goes through your VPN except the IP of your NAS.

The fact that a woman wearing a spaghetti-strap tank top and being expressive immediately makes you assume she’s a porn actress says a lot about you.

yet they offer up zero solutions as to how to acquire the funds to support the programs receiving cuts.

TAX THE RICH HOLY FUCK

lol

We could also make less work for firefighters by collectively performing society-wide mass suicide, but I don’t see what that has to do with reasonable restrictions during a time of crisis.

My definition of crisis is when there are multiple out of control forest fires active in my province. I think restricting activity in high-risk areas makes sense, especially when firefighting resources are already used up fighting existing fires elsewhere in the province.

I’m honestly a bit disappointed in the takes I’m seeing here in the comments. People literally repeating stuff reported by Alex Jones as if that’s in any way a trustworthy source.

I love the woods, that’s why I’m more than happy to avoid them during an ongoing crisis. Let the firefighters save the forests and not accidentally give them more work, y’know?

As highlighted in Gilmore’s video, it’s 100% the same energy as the reaction the right had to masking mandates.

People who are the problem and starting fires will ignore the ban while responsible people who want to enjoy nature or walk home through the park are the ones punished.

With this logic, we might as well stop having laws. Criminals always ignore them anyway.

J’suis d’accord, mais j’tiens à dire que le calibre du drag dans Drag Race est quand même plus haut que le calibre de chant dans Idol :P

If I had served in the military and this was how I was treated on the way out, I’d probably use my training to do my best to inflict harm on the decision-makers.

Imo if you fuck a dude in any way, you lose straight as a title forever

I knew straight women were a myth!

bike lanes piss me off

Agreed! Most bike lanes end up being nothing more than a painted bicycle gutter.

What we truly need is dedicated cycle paths adjacent to busy roads, and low-traffic, low-speed streets in commercial or residential areas where cyclists and pedestrians are prioritized over car traffic (see the Dutch city-planning concept of autoluw)
