Ooo I've never heard of this! Kinda sad I only saw this comment after the Summer Sale :P Thanks for sharing!

I'm honestly curious, how would you define anglo-Canadian identity?

I feel like more and more, English Canada is becoming culturally Americanized. Less gun-obsessed, sure, and hockey over football/baseball, but apart from that the difference seems to be waning.

Not that francophone communities, including Québec, aren't also influenced by the US, but the impact is a lot lesser. I'd be super curious to see how much Canadian music/TV the average Canadian listens to, versus how much québécois content the average person in Québec consumes.

There, to me anyways, seems to be a much higher emphasis on national identity in Québec than anywhere else in Canada (for better and for worse).

If you know where to look, a certain athletic woman can give it to you for free if you're on a Steam Deck!

In a similar vein to Superluminal, I'd also recommend Viewfinder, it's kinda like Portal but with a camera rather than a Portal gun.

Fun fact: there exists black women other than Oprah Winfrey! Experts say there are at the very least 12 non-Oprah black women.

You could just type "LGR never obsolete" into YouTube's search bar, but fine, here's a YouTube link!

If your job mostly revolves around checking people's documentation and you fail to recognize government-issued ID (from the country in which you work, no less), you're objectively shit at your job.

I don't understand why you're making excuses for the airline. I did a better job than this as a 19 year-old cashier selling lotto tickets.

I would definitely put my money on white nationalists.

Seperationists don't tend to join the Canadian military, nor would they typically display stickers of the American flag on their trucks as you can see in one of the images on the article. Also, when's the last time the souverainiste mouvement got violent? I can't think of anything more recent than the early '70s.

I've recently bought a Steam Deck and have been getting back into gaming after a long hiatus.

I used to play competitive online games (mostly Counter-Strike) and got kinda burnt out on them. It made me not want to game for a while, so I'm diving into slower-paced, single-player games.

Viewfinder and Superliminal are both perspective-based puzzle games that I've been really enjoying. Tickles my brain in kind of the same way the Portal games did on my first playthroughs.

Speaking of Portal, I've also started Portal: Revolution which is a fan-made mod whose story takes place between the two official games. For what it is, it's honestly quite excellent, the puzzles are challenging and fun. Not quite as well-polished as Portal 2, but so far it's giving the first game a run for its money.

I've also been emulating a ton of Mario Kart 8, trying to git gud, my friend group often breaks it out at get-togethers and I want to surprise them with my sudden increase in skill!

EDIT: I forgot, I've also been playing Stray which is honestly such a chill game, you play as a stray cat in this kinda post-apocalyptic world, which you slowly uncover more info about as you hop around. 10/10 so far, might become a catgirl.

I think what the author describes as the culture of Whatever is also a big reason everything kinda sucks now. It's all run by MBAs who have no relation to the product and have no vision except "line goes up". They have no incentive to care about the product they're offering because they couldn't care less about it.

Thanks for not participating in the vehicular arms race!

I think this advice made more sense when the majority drove reasonably-sized vehicles rather than the huge trucks and SUVs that pollute our roads now (at least in North America).

I wouldn't be surprised if this bit of advice contributes to the problem in OP.

I copy-pasted the quote in a spoiler tag because scrolling through the in-line code markdown is an awful way to read text.

Damn I didn't know Lyman was a sexist!

That list would unironically make a pretty decent playlist!

Honestly, I've served similar looking pours to people and had them say how cute it was. Thanks for this comment, it's easy to get really picky when you spend all day making lattes.

I love how all of this was just to avoid asking a family member "hey can I change some settings on your router to fix the Wi-Fi?"

I mean, I get it. More often than not you'll either become the de facto tech support or they'll find a way to blame you the next time something doesn't work.

From an environmentalist standpoint, I get the headline, but from a vegan perspective, it's like saying "Stabbing just 10% less people could help protect blood"

How about we just don't stab people??

The infamous cockaccino!

If I just messed up on the pour but the milk texture is good, I'll usually still serve it. I'll either take a stir-stick and try to make some pretty swirls, or I'll serve as-is but make a joke about it to the customer.
