And a thing young folks using cannabis seem to be woefully under informed about is that cannabis use can kick off psychosis/schizophrenia as well as something called depersonalization disorder where basically nothing feels real to you, as well as actually lowering your IQ. I lost a high school friend who smoked copious amounts of ditch weed in the 80s and 90s, who became a paranoid schizophrenic and eventually killed himself as a result. I’m not saying occasional use is a big deal, but chronic heavy use is really not good.

The 2020s iteration of Twitter with Space Karen at the helm, and the sharp rise in antivax beliefs with the advent of the COVID vaccine. It’s quite amazing to me how people that even get every other routine vaccine have completely false beliefs about it and don’t get that one. Weaponized disinformation is a terrible thing.

My coworker told me two weeks ago that she was not getting any more COVID vaccines “because they’re pushing it on us”, and yet went and told Public Health that she has multiple sex partners so she could get the monkeypox vaccine. My head is spun over that.

No idea. I don’t think I have an accent but people who aren’t Canadian think I do.

Interestingly my friend’s sister moved with her twins to Australia when they were 5, and when they returned one has an Australian accent and the other does not.

Two hours is my maximum unless I’m going to stay the weekend. I went to a New Pornographers show where people had flown in from Chicago to. Toronto and driven four hours from Michigan to see them. This was right between Delta and Omicron so I think people were super eager to go to anything at all, but I was surprised.

I switched from YouTube Music to Deezer. I like it!

Holy shit! You did a really good thing.

And now I have another reason to be terrified of dating if I were to ever become single again.

Vegan egg substitute omelet with roasted red peppers and olives.

Good afternoon.

I had my Bell Fibe app on my tablet for watching TV but never really used it. Well it started sending me notifications that my Bell bill was due with the amount, so you best believe I deleted it because that’s obnoxious.

Go back to 4chan.

Well that’s fascinating.

Steel cut oatmeal with maple syrup and almonds and shredded coconut.

Neko Case in either her solo career or with The New Pornographers. The voice of God with red hair. I would listen to Brill Bruisers by TNP or Middle Cyclone by Neko…

What are your bar tricks?

I am fanatically polite, helpful, and friendly.

I use Qwant, a French search engine. Much better.

They sure should.

In Canada it’s causing a huge housing crisis. Lots of newcomers do not have the finances for what rent is here either so end up in limbo.

My grade school playground equipment was made of old tires, chains, and wooden posts. Injuries abounded, and not one of our 1980s parents gave a shit.

I saw a guy on Facebook who decided to load two kayaks into it. Like why would you think that was a good transport for kayaks? Looked ridiculous.
