Mine asked “so when are you two coming back here” and then shortly after we returned they said “well I’m off to do art in the park for a few hours anyway bye wink”.

Fuckin’ legend.

I know a they who refers to themselves as “a they”. It’s partly for the memes but it does happen. Honestly it gets the point across better because instead of being a generic title it’s a term specifically for non-binary people and that’s nice.

You betcha! And then our useless police chief was so useless that they had to bring in police from elsewhere to do the job finally, and then he resigned.

TL;DR: It’s immigrants. They’re blaming immigrants for this one. Very “they’re not sending their best” kinda shit if this article is anything to go by. Pushing that whole “countries where people solve their problems with violence” rhetoric.

And I don’t recall our news being flooded with stories of violent protests lately so they seem to be creating their own problems. Like maybe if they just didn’t respond to protests as if they were expecting a battle they wouldn’t have strained resources. Well, there was that one time but I distinctly remember nearly everyone there being white, Canadian, and far-right so…

The rest of the article is just pointing out the coos don’t really have any evidence and are trying to use one case as reason to give themselves special protections. Another case of those with the most power being big ol’ babies when asked to maybe stop abusing said power.

I legitimately thought it was a foodbank that required proof of poorness somehow and charged a little above cost(don’t worry I hear Loblaws is also the supplier so they’ll just inflate the cost).

My hopes are dashed upon the rocks such that seeing it was a Bearverton article sparked no joy in me.

C’mon, bro, be better than that.

That doesn’t count when the known is telling everyone how evil it is and the unknown is only unknown because everyone plugs the ears and closes their eyes whenever any kind of new information presents itself. Then the saying just falls flat on its face.

Complain all you want, I’m completely right. I gave a good explanation both addressing the fine motorskills thing that everyone else was actually talking about and I even took time out to validate your concern about sanitation by explaining that gloves actually don’t help all that much in many situations.

You were the first person to bring up sanitation based on a misunderstanding of the other person’s comment and then ignored every effort to rectify that mistake in order to be mad about it.

Look, you’re in pretty deep now and I don’t expect you to suddenly turn around and go “oh, my bad.” That’s fine, I get it, just put an effort into avoiding it in the future and we’re all chill.

“Man loses his argument and throws a tantrum, more at a 11”

You not understanding Fiivemacs point and visciously ignoring my entire explanation on it is really just telling me you’re far too up your own ass for any kind of reasonable conversation.

I’m spoon-feeding this to you and you’re still not getting it. Credit goes elsewhere but “we seem to have reached the limit of your comprehension”.

Look I know these threads are wack when we get to deep and memory fails even the best of us, it’s fine.

1. Fiivemacs asked about why no gloves.
2. You said they needed the fine motor skills
3. Fiivemacs agreed with you, citing the kitchen thing(and by extention how they hamper fine motor skills.
4. You made it about sanitation, didn’t want to be corrected, and then asked why we were all talking about sanitation.

That’s all there is to it.

You literally brought it up. I even explained how the other person was not talking about sanitation so that it was clear that it was you who did so. I understood them the first time just fine.

You’re being, like, turbo-stupid right now. Cut it out.

Actually not wearing gloves and washing your hands regularly is, I believe, generally bettee for sanitation. There’s a lot of false confidence and shit with gloves, and they cost money and are technically a limited resource. You should always have them on hand, especially for if you get cut and need to wear a bandaid, but washing your hands as needed is totally fine.

And as it relates to this conversation they have a point in that gloves fucking suck to wear. They’re weirdly sticky and also even tight ones are like wearing loose skin and it just kinda sucks. Again, super great to have around and they can be awesome for some tasks where you just do not want to have to do anything more than removing the glove and rinsing, but the point stands.

That sometimes works, but sometimes the right way is not immediately comfortable so people so stuff that seems right and hurt themselves. Sometimes the thing that seemed correct initially was only because of a lack of deeper understanding and an ignorance of the knowledge of those who have already made the mistakes.

I dance, play instruments, drive cars, and do a whole lot of other things where the immediately comfortable thing is so often one of the best ways to develop a massively limiting habit that is a huge pain to get away from once you realize how badly it’s holding you back.

It’s a case-by-case basis, of course, but simply “the best is what you’re most comfortable with” does not have near the nuance it needs to not be abused. It is great advice for people once they have built up a strong base of knowledge, and until then they need to get over it and try things.

Weird conservatives have never been know to understand things like “longterm effects” or “treating what they have with any respect”.

They like buying trucks, guns, and knives. They like showing those things off. Like the “rustic charm” in the memes that are really just about how anti-social they are. They like wearing red and black flannel, camo hats, and acting like they could totally live off the land just because their entire idea of nature is about who’s more violent.

The people who can name the birds and trees, who gather responsibly, and just like to go for a nice canoe aren’t usually too conservative. Obviously it happens but that requires a level effort and stewardship for the land that’s often incompatible with the personality required to grasp onto conservatism.

Honestly the right is never “serious” and where they are right now is exactly the place they need to be. Nothing they want is backed by any evidence which says that it’s good for the people and rhe whole fucking ideology was born out of keeping people down when monarchies fell.

Fuck the right, serious or not nothing they do will ever help anyone but themselves and they are where they are right now because they chase the stupid and hateful for votes. Those are the only people who will actually go in for their nonsense and after a while they’re the people who also end up running and winning. It is seriously funny, if not slightly horrifying.

“Your system is so bad, terrible! Anyone can do better!”

“And yet you couldn’t in your term and still don’t have an idea how to do it even now? So you admit you can’t fix what you believe to be an easy problem to solve? That’s a weird stance to take during a debate you’re trying to win but ok.”

Just someone trying to “get ahead of the people who will complain that it’s not politically correct”. Like, no one is complaining but they’re already mad for…some reason.

“Wah wah I’m a victim look they’re going to attack me any second now!”

I hope you figure out whatever’s destroying your sense of self-worth and causing you to attack margainalisized communities to protect what’s left of your ego. That’s both a dig and a genuine dose of sympathy.
