Did I get vaccinated in my sleep and then changed my search engine to Bing?

@verretor
Can't trust those computer things. They are just a fad. Here's the proof .

@mydogisahusky2 @verretor It's amazing how _late_ that headline is. You'd expect it to be mid 90's or so. But it's one month shy of 2001!

@pete @mydogisahusky2 I had already figured out at that time that the internet was there to stay. I mean. It was obvious.

@verretor @pete
It's the Galactic Internet I'm wondering about.
If there is intelligent life in numbers out in the Universe (I'm not sure we qualify yet) - they have to have a serious Web going on. Encyclopedia Galactica.

@mydogisahusky2 @verretor ...if there is a way to break the speed of light limit on communication. If not, no galactic internet.

@pete @verretor
Don't need to break it. Just surpass it.
It'd be a quantum entanglement thing i guess.

@mydogisahusky2 @verretor Interestingly quantum entanglement - at least as far as we know - can not be used to transfer information. Basically it's like both sides magically pick the same random number. But since it's random, you can't use that to actually transfer information _now_.

@pete @mydogisahusky2 Actually, I used quantum entanglement which is why it looks like I was four years late.

@verretor @pete
Well, I'm ok keeping the 10 minute blocks via difficulty adjustment and riding my mountain bike. Life is good.
They took down all our mask requirements here.

@mydogisahusky2 @pete I’ve seen a map of the US with the states with mandatory masks VS no masks. There’s maybe 5 states that still have mask mandates.

Canada sucks ass.

@pete @mydogisahusky2 Curfew ends this Friday (IN THEORY). Friday is also our PM’s birthday. Go figure.

He likes to give us one week of “freedom” before reinforcing tyranny. He did it in March. People thought they were going to get normal lives.

@pete @mydogisahusky2 Some people told me that they don’t care about going to jail anymore. We’re already in jail anyway.

@mydogisahusky2 @pete I think there’s a large part of the Canadian population that has been bamboozled by the propaganda.

@verretor @mydogisahusky2 @pete I don’t know why our leaders are so bad!! I want them all to be arrested for misconduct :(
@verretor @mydogisahusky2 @pete yeah I think you are right- most people in our country seem to really value authority, and not question it. That enables bad behavior from our leaders

@becassine @mydogisahusky2 @pete But even in Quebec, there’s quite a difference in culture between the people who live in the cities and those who don’t. I’ve never lived in a city and my friends are rednecks.

@becassine @verretor @pete
And reinforces the idea that "citizens" need to be led, rather than leading themselves out of all their bad situations.

@mydogisahusky2 @verretor @pete yeah, we have a state that essentially takes care of us but if you look at the history of canada, we had peace, order, good governance not life liberty and pursuit of happiness

The problem is we no longer have good governance

@becassine @mydogisahusky2 @pete Life was pretty good in the 90s but things have changed very quickly.

@verretor @mydogisahusky2 @pete it is crazy to think how much Canada has changed in 30 years. Before the 90s so much less immigration

@becassine @mydogisahusky2 @pete I don’t blame the immigrants but I think they’re part of Trudeau’s plan.

@verretor @mydogisahusky2 @pete I do and I don’t. I would do the same thing in their shoes probably, but there is no reason we should incentivize them to come. They are useful tools because they are free votes and cheap labor.
@verretor @mydogisahusky2 @pete I do resent how little they care about Canadian culture though. If I was that insensitive to them in their home country they would throw a fit, but they are perfectly fine with complaining about having to learn French. It makes me mad.

@becassine @verretor @pete
I prefer to take care of myself, help those people around me who need and want help. I don't want the state sending me money for anything, ever. I can pay my way.
We are sending back the money Biden keeps trying to give us. Passing laws banning federal money to citizens. It has destroyed the job market. So we are saying :NO".
