Thank you for the easier captchas, and pre-emptively damn you for whatever evil thing CloudFlare will eventually do with their MITM access to everything.

I guess, but neither kind of dashboard catches dash from your horses these days. And forget about all bears being “brown ones”. Language evolves.

Haha, true. But then again, I’ve definitely thought that about like, a self-loading rifle or a can opener that way.

Depends what the goal is, and what your responsibilities are.

If you want to learn, the upper limit is literally just defined by remaining health. I’m pretty sure seniors can audit for free at least some places.

If the goal is to make more money, it depends what you’re already making, your chance of successfully graduating, and how much you’d make in your new job. A simple equation that’s close enough, but not totally correct would be something like: (new salary - old salary)*working years*probability of success - (tuition + old salary)*expected time in school

If it’s to have a job you like more, it’s hard to quantify and will be a pure judgement call.

Given that you’re still working age it’s realistically going to be a mix of all three. I’m also not sure how having kids would factor in, exactly.

I’m wondering how their ban on other conservative parties can possibly stand along the same lines. The NWC doesn’t protect you from the democratic rights.

Shark avatar, though.

I think that’s the basic idea, but in practice it’s used for people who are just generally dumb as well.

And under other circumstances they might worry about the NDP, but as it is, the Conservatives are spiraling off to the far right, the centre is left wide open, and the left wing of their party is too afraid of losing to crazies to undermine that.

That’s actually the original title for the element, for what it’s worth.

I don’t know, the vowels in written words are pretty much random anyway.

Hey, I use the King’s English, thank you very much!

Yep, that’s my takeaway too. And why I’ve utilised the same, although I draw the line at “gaol”. A Canadian spelling that’s hard to tell from the American one is just a tradition waiting to disappear.

Yeah, the idea that the Native peoples of the Americas are one bloc that would all get along is just a different way to exoticise them. Same story with “all Natives are environmentalists”.

The old hatreds between tribes have more or less died out in the face of irrelevance relative to their troubles with settlers, but every band still has their own culture and internal politics. Because they’re people.

I mean, Rupert’s land is still here and alive, even.

Yeah, maybe. Or maybe that’s at least a part of it. There definitely was rivalry, even if an American communist revolution was never remotely close.

Nice talking to you!

Like everywhere except maybe an uncontacted island we have racism, but I’m not sure what country would have less. Multiculturalism is part of our national ethos.

Rural Canada is all white and full of hate.

Yeah, I’m here. We have minorities (for some reason - you crossed an ocean, why Buttfuck, AB?) and everyone seems to get along at least in public. Not sure how much worse it is than the city on race issues, honestly, although I’m white and it makes it hard to tell. You’ll have a lot more trouble if you’re gay, and I try very hard to hide my politics.

Interestingly, Evangelicalism has been hit especially hard with a demographic shift as their missionary converts come back, and their white members leave.

It offers protection from crackers and cybergangs too, because they always follow laws. /s

Love you too.

Yeah, but usually there’s other ways, right? Blame immigrants or minorities, or let the wealth naturally move away from the poor slowly enough a casual voter won’t notice. That’s what everyone else did the whole time, and the US itself before and after.

Even today, with all the information you need at your fingertips, a lot of the people in the US who want a shift left on wealth issues are actually in the 9% after the 1% (which ironically is the class that owns the most stuff). The real poor lean pretty pro-Trump.
