That was a grim read. My favorite part:

Reportedly died by suicide after shooting himself in the chest five times.

_Arend also defended their portrayal of Russia as a country with a free press, prompting challenges from viewers to critique Russian leadership and ongoing conflicts. _

To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word “doublethink” involved the use of doublethink.

I though it was Vientiane for a second. It isn’t : they don’t have tall buildings there.

Little story about Vientiane and cats: there’s a old lady that feeds the street cats twice a day, at 8 am and 5 pm. Like clockwork, about 20 cats show up 15 min before those times and just wait for her. It looks a lot like the picture, only with a lot more cats. Moral of the story: cats can precisely tell the time.

Funny coincidence : our prime minister worked 33 years for Irving.

Ben non, je pense qu’on est au moins 3…

Funny. As Canadians, we say we’re Americans when we do stupid shit abroad.

Thank you for taking that bullet for us!

Same thing is happening in New-Brunswick, with a conservative majority.

In early November, Premier Blaine Higgs reportedly said he was considering legislation to block federal housing funding from being given directly to municipalities.

Because no help is better than Trudeau getting the credit.

Not trying to excuse his actions but read the _Early life and reports of abuse _section.

This guy is a product of a mentally ill mother who abused him. Imagine being 4 years old and your caregiver keeps telling you she wished you were dead. Not a recipe for a well balanced individual.

My point is yes, his place is in prison. But if you want to prevent other acts of this kind, social and mental services need to get better. They clearly failed in this case, more than once.

You can’t have managed democracy without a few tiny orbital strike mishaps, everybody knows that.

Same.

Plus these guys are kinda all assholes that seem to compensate for something? Man, if I had a nickel for every time one of those tailgates me…

Trucks are meant for work

When I see the size of them and the pristine condition they are in, I seriously doubt it’s the case for most pick up owners.

We’re Party Cannon and we’re here to do 3 things: lower your IQ, get you hit and increase you sex drive!

This next song is about my favorite gender neutral thing: eating ass. This one’s called Nauseating and Unpalatable!

For me, Linux recreates the exhilaration of 1990s MsDOS: will this setting, that I really don’t understand, make my game work or just render my whole system unusable?

I really want to play this awesome new game called Syndicate…

What’s the worst that can happen? Reformat for a 4th time this week?

y/n?

My friend has a little 300-tree operation. He says it’s the best year he’s ever had.

Big maple is lying to us!

According to my history books, all the wars that were ever fought were won by the good guys. What are the odds of that? Isn’t that great?

Thanks for the video , it was an eye opener, to say the least.

When I drop off my electronics at “recycling” facilities, I always wonder if they don’t just end up at a place like this. It’s hard to tell if sending them to a local landfill wouldn’t be less impactful on the environment.

Out of sight, out of mind I guess.
