When I was younger this was true for me, but these days once I wake up I tend to stay awake, so this is the worst outcome in my case.

While Muluh initially defended the staff member, thinking he had made a simple mistake, it was later discovered he acted purposely and with a racist motive.

She even had grace for this POS initially. I guess not having to worry about shady spotters is one of the nice parts of being on the weightlifting side of strength sports.

[Edit] She also nailed that lift. Absolutely robbed.

Lots of people are swimming in a sea of American media. American personalities, American stories, American cultural touchstones. This effect is taken to extremes in the extremely online right, as there is a sort of transnational fascism emanating from there. This is why you get people who think Miranda rights are a thing in Canada, or the various amendments to the US Constitution apply. It's also why we need to defend Canadian media. For better or worse, many people's knowledge of the world around them comes from the media they consume. And an unfortunate number of Canadians are spiritually American as a result. For example, the premier of my province who thought premiers had the same power of pardon that US governors have, despite being an MLA for years and really having no excuse to not know this.

Let me introduce you to Tartaria.

The globalized version of the conspiracy theory is based on an alternative view of architectural history. Adherents propose that demolished buildings such as the Singer Building, the original New York Penn Station, and the temporary grounds of the 1915 World's Fair in San Francisco were actually the buildings of a vast empire based in Tartary that has been suppressed from history. Sumptuously styled Gilded Age buildings are often held out as really having been built by the supposed Tartaria. Other buildings, such as the Great Pyramids and the White House, are further held out as Tartarian constructions. The conspiracy theory only vaguely describes how such a supposedly advanced civilization, which had reputedly achieved world peace, could have fallen and been hidden.[5][6] Proponents of the theory also frequently claim that Tartarians have developed unlimited wireless energy.

Usually a question mark is where non-essential parts of a URL start. So for example:

youtu.be/T___j1atRAw?si=T9de90Ls3GhPIMvb

?si=T9de90Ls3GhPIMvb - This section of the url is for tracking. You can safely lop that off and the link will still work.

He claimed Alberta should also leave Canada largely because Ottawa has mismanaged Canada’s food system. He said not enough food is grown domestically and it’s highly processed.

“I just can’t even touch commercial chicken anymore. It’s just disgusts me,” he said.

If I gambled I think that would be a pretty safe bet.

[Edit] Not that I think these concerns on their own signify much, but taken as a whole with his other beliefs definitely paints a picture of the sort of granola fascist that supports RFK jr.

FAFO, bucko.

He said he disagreed with the public health measures put in place by Ottawa to curb the virus, including mask mandates.

“It really affected me personally because I have anxiety issues and not seeing faces really affected me,” he said.

Oh my fucking god, dude. None of us loved doing that. I'm sure the people with long covid are feeling pretty affected now, and the people who died might also have some opinions for you if they were still able to do things like have opinions.

“Even if we don’t separate, I mean, we ought to talk about this stuff, you know? People don’t want to talk about it.”

Yeah, you're almost getting it. We want to talk and think about it so little you lost your business over it. Not that you're learning any lessons from that.

The company said that it’s planning to expand its operations in the footprint in the area

Residents say it sounds like a vacuum cleaner in their living room, and the company has offered to buy up homes from unhappy residents.

Very convenient for them that they converted their data centre into a property value destroyer before making this offer. I'm sure that's coincidental.
