Guy in the bathroom stall: … I use Mac!

Guys and gals pissing in the hallway, lobby, parking lot, bushes, behind the building and inside the office: … we use windows 11!

If I ever run into that scenario … that would be a great reason to raise the Jolly Roger

As a brown Indigenous Canadian … I’d like to agree with you but you’re wrong.

The greatest threat to life and prosperity to the world is billionaires no matter their gender, skin colour, race, nationality or religion.

When Yoda takes his regular centennial shower on Degobah, it’s definitely a very deep thought

and it also depends on your family, personal wealth, inheritance and income bracket … because even with these credentials, it can lead you to higher political office

A wise new saying I heard on a Youtube mechanic’s short reels a while ago …

“If you don’t fuck around … you’ll never find out”

… and that without knowing it has been the motto of my life when it comes to working on things. I learn on my own (mostly because I was never able to afford higher education) and I just tinker with things and often, I will break things but it serves to help me in the future to figure out what not to do. And other times, it saves a lot of work because it made me realize that some problems aren’t so terrible and that they only needed a simple solution.

What is the deal with this orange orangutan? The rightwing conservative movement can throw him under the bus and get a new idiot to lead their movement … so why hang the fate of your movement on this moron? Seriously … they could find a younger, stronger more charismatic individual to lead them that would be ten times more dangerous than this aging orange deformed sea lion.

The origin story of why that genie got stuck in that bottle for 2,000 years

Just because they have mandatory French in Canada … doesn’t mean that people go on to learn the language. I’m in northern Ontario among a lot of Francophones. Lots of people went through school around me that had French but they went through the programs and never bothered to learn beyond that and then forgot it all as adults because their families looked down at the French language and French culture.

Many people don’t get to go to post secondary school unless you or your family have a bit of wealth … so they don’t bother learning another language for any reason. So being poor and from an anglocentric culture that looks down at other enthnicities usually ends up with people not learning or wanting to learn another language.

The sad part is that I’m Indigenous Canadian … my first language is Ojibway/Cree, it was the first language I learned and spoke fluently until I was about ten years of age - I learned English in school but it was more or less a foreign language to me until later in life. The sad part is that this was all about 40 years ago and now the majority of people being born into my family almost all of them speak only English and know little of our Ojibway language.

When you are poor and don’t have the means … you almost have no choice but to get stuck in one language because you don’t have the time, energy or resources to have the luxury to learn another language and poverty has the double edged sword of taking away any language you or your family already had.

How many languages do you speak?

Most North Americans are shocked that a human can learn more than one language

Hunger is a normal part of life … I keep trying to remind myself of that

Just because you are hungry, it doesn’t mean that you are starving or dying … sometimes it’s just your dumb greedy biological system wanting to eat everything in sight because it still thinks that you live in the African savanna and there’s no food around.

I grew up poor and as a kid, hunger was just a normal part of life. We weren’t starving, mom and dad gave us enough nutrition every day to be comfortable but not to live in complete luxury where we could eat any time we wanted. I remember wanting snacks during the day and there were none … so you just drank some hot tea to satisfy the craving and then went on with your day. By the time we were teens, we were lean, built and none of my friends were overweight (this was in the 80s and early 90s). It wasn’t until we all had free access to cheap snacks and sugar water that we all started having problems with our weight. I’m middle aged now and I constantly have to battle my urge to want to eat any and everything in sight.

The best part of this comment is that I’m snacking on a tube of pringles as I’m writing this.

Usually when I meet people who say they travelled to Europe … I’ll ask them a million questions about what they did there, what they saw, what they thought about it, the food, the weather, the people … which places did they go? what are your recommendations? what did you like? what did you not like? any weird things that happened? any great things that happened?

It’s usually a source of a ton of information.

Hell of a lot better conversation starter than to ask the person what they’ve done in the small town you’ve both lived in all your lives and know every single detail about.

It sounds like you’ll fit right in … great to have you here … have fun!
