I was in elementary in Canada early 90’s. My school was weird. There’s a large Mennonite community in the area where I grew up so a large percentage (more than 50%) of the kids in this school were Mennonite. For those unfamiliar, these are similar to Amish. Such farmers with strong religious views, most of them were “old order” meaning they grew up in homes with little to no electricity. They also finish school at age 12 regardless of progress. This meant that they were exempt from a lot of the classes my tiny public school had to offer. No French, computing, or Sex Ed. A lot of them were also in special Ed. I’m not going to sugar coat this. It’s forbidden from them to marry outside of their culture and only like 4 families came to the area. So there’s a lot of disabilities as a result of inbreeding with that community.

All this to say that my school had absolutely no clue how to deal with my undiagnosed autism. But they seemed to have decent funding due to the much higher needs.

I was in special Ed via French exemption status. This means I never learned french. I’d instead be placed in a room with all the Mennonite kids often in a corner trying to read. Eventually I was put into some kind of program. A neurologist should come by and do experiments on me. Nothing weird, just testing my fine motor skills. They (falsely) diagnosed me with “elementary tremors” a pediatric doctor upped this to a “retardation caused by mild down syndrome” (extremely wrong) after years of that nonsense they decided to use this crazy new fangled technology to give me a leg up with writing. I was given a Macintosh computer. I had a desk with tiny wheels and my 4th grade self had to wheel this from class to class (including “portables”). Of course this was pretty obsolete tech even for its time. My parents got me an Alpha Smart which was way better. By 6th grade I had a personal support worker to help get me caught up. I failed grades 3-6 but was ‘placed’ into the next grade anyway and never made to repeat anything.

Highschool was very different, no Mennonite, so way less funding. It was still a French exemption class but there were only about 5 other students in the class. It seemed to be less about education, or assessment of my condition. It was some watching videos and doing some analysis. It was mostly just a time to catch up on homework. Often there wasn’t even a teacher present.

I miss the Mongolian grill

I think being a shepherd during a storm must suck. Also it seems like he has an umbrella. Standing in a field of sheep with an umbrella during a storm seems like a bad idea. Though I wonder if that’s just how the handle storms, like just roll the dice and hope you don’t become a lightning rod?

We should have our wealthy play hungry hungry hippos. As in we toss them into a marsh with 4 hungry hippos.

It’s a game of monopoly and we’re all losing.

The Ezra street parties that cost the city thousands are totally fine. but they freak out over a few tents. The only reason this school is around is that it’s a feeder school to a lot of local tech companies that want fresh meat to grind.

So pretty much all of them. I’d assume most of those who are not landlords intend to become landlords and will vote pro landlord policies in anyway.

Often me. I make tools/interactions for learning management systems. So the back end is a thid party I have no controll over. Just take the api and make the magic happen.

You need me to save data somewhere but don’t want to buy server space? Sure we can cram that into places it’s not ment to go within the system. It will slow things down and likly cause issues but it’s free.

I dont think this is enforceable under the current rules.

My landlord is an anonymous person living in China. For all I know they could be some large corporation. I only have a point of contact as a local Chinese owned real-estate company. They gave me the contact info to somone out in BC who they said was the owner.

I had to call with the person in BC when i moved in. that person who is on the lease as the owner, mentioned they where not the owner but the daughter of somone living in China who was the actual owner.

After a Google search they person I had spoken with turns out to be a “wealth and property manager” who apprently handles properties for investors. I suspect they are “the daughter” of a lot of clients looking to own property here.

So with foreign investors owning land via proxies who are themselves working through proxies. How do we even know who owns what anymore?

We need the standard leases to be mandatory and somthing that cannot be modified without exemption provided by a stronger landlord Tennant board.

I wonder if we could then make it so all leases needed to be registered with the board. Eatch requiring a lease recording fee wich could be used to fund the LTB. This whould also give them some power. If a landlord has a bad history, or is not providing proof of ownership they could just deny leasing agreements making landlords unable to rent out properties.

Well you should wash you hands after wiping, before you touch your phone.

I really love this OST. It’s got some great battle beats like The pain of the Universe and The darkness Nova. To stirring and beautiful main theme. It really brings life to the world that this game take place in probably more then the actual game does.

Hotdogs fails to pay for its new body guards. Next panel is just 4 fattened ninja kitties

Thanks I’ll set a reminder to check it in a few months.

Thank you for letting us know. I can react badly to loud noises. One if of these went off for an amber alert at 2am and I wasn’t able to sleep right for days later. This noise in particular just freaks me the hec out.

He is the purple one. He will do what he wants.

I’ll provide this.

If you’re not into vinesauce he’s an older variety streamer from the pre twitch days. Lot of his stuff is finding obscure and terrible games. Halflife amd its mods being a favorite of his.

This video is him explaining what it is, from an outsiders perspective. He goes through a some of the garbage explotive stuff that’s comming from it but also has his friend AgentRedJackel interview some fans of it via vrChat.

I found it was a good summary of everything you need to know without actually getting into it.

ah thanks then i shall remove this post then as its not actually gore

Oh. So not a bug?

I think surface level info is fine for an explainer video. That’s kind if the point. He could do a little more to push people towards more detailed sources of info but he’s not worse then most other explainer and he seems to be sourcing things decently.

I watch some of his stuff but I wouldn’t blame anyone for choosing not to. The guys presentation of the research is just annoyingly pretentious and he seems to have a bit of an ego.

I get it his shtick is that he’s a hipster journalist referring to your audiance as “guys”. Its just not working for me.
