Fair enough. I don’t seek out YouTube drama so I don’t know anything not sent my way, but the JonTron thing left a bad enough taste I stopped following him.
I had no idea about the other shit, but it kinda makes sense given the tone of his videos regarding SJWs, women, tumblr, etc.
Illuminaughtii was pretty wild.
JonTron said all that Great Replacement Theory racist shit but collab’d with Internet Historian on his B channel some time after. Haven’t followed him in a long time so I donno if his career suffered.
Onision is nuts in so many dark and strange ways that were completely predictable.
Among them all I’m so glad that Internet Comment Etiquette has always been my favorite. Eric is a good boy.
You can get into almost anywhere with a brown, collared shirt and a cardboard box.
Deep Spy Penetration
A game to play when bored in an unfamiliar building. The goal is to get into as many areas of the building as possible without being told to leave.
Rules:
And a best selling breakfast wrap at a restaurant.
A self proclaimed prophetic witch from Australia I met while cybersexting in a yahoo chat room told me George Bush was going to start a war if he got elected.
I meant that Jonesy is the weak male that Ripley physically and emotionally protects.

Run Lola Run (sorta)
They’re waiting for a supreme court decision at the moment and the fact this made it to the supreme Court says it’s not black and white.
Farms occasionally have leeway in how they manage avian flu, however, this may be a new strain that can cross over to people. Not that bird flu hasn’t been fucking terrible for bird populations over the last years, too. Toronto used to have crows.
According to the farm, only two dead ostriches were tested and the CFIA agents refused to test any live birds. Based on those tests, the farm is being ordered to destroy their entire live flock.
They tried to get an exemption because of the ostriches rare genomes and scientific merit, but since ostrich farming is new, all the applicable forms were for poultry and the CFIA wouldn’t make allowances. It looks more like a beurocratic mess than crazy farmers denying science.
If the cull were carried out, it would likely shut down the farm because their creditors will sieze any insurance money they get paid. And, this isn’t a meat farm, it’s a research farm. They’re probably trying to save the birds they can because it’s their only route to staying in business.
I can’t speak to why they’ve garnered support from convoy people, but apparently animal rights groups and locals have joined their cause as well. I would like to know how the Tyee knows the majority of their supporters are convoy people.
Finally an interesting headline in Canadian news.
I used to live in the interior and castanet is great for all things okanagan. Their article has bit more detail here:
I don’t have any spiritual beliefs but ghosts would be awesome if they were real. They could help us write history books and scare our enemies.
Depending on your workplace, there may be avenues for making complaints. If someone is being rude/unreasonable, it could help to direct them with something like: “I understand this is a difficult situation. We’re trying to navigate it and will follow up in (time) at (contact.) If you have complaints about how we’ve handled this, here is the (name/number/e-mail.)” This redirects their energy and gives them a solid plan to follow. Sometimes people just like it when there’s a plan.
Moving location can ease tension. You can say “Hi, I’m (name,) would you like to come over here and explain what’s going on?”
If you avoid conflict, it could help to explain those feelings to your coworker and just ask them what you can do to help them (as you have.) Or discuss difficult scenerios they have to deal with and give you clear suggestions on what to do in (x) situation. People like plans, again.
If you work at a hospital and someone is legitimately having a meltdown over something, as in they’re being completely irrational and may turn violent, can you call a psych nurse/doc/security?
Alternatively, I knew a security guard who always carried saltwater taffy in his pockets. If people got heated, he would throw it on the ground and go “Look! Candy!” He said it was effective 100% of the time.
I hitch-hiked thousands of kilometers in my younger years, Barrie was the only place the cops picked me up and drove me out of town limits. It was the only time I’ve ever been in the back of a police cruiser, too.
The courts were understaffed at the beginning of covid. Not enough money and not enough people. On top of that, a stressed population at the start of a pandemic.
The prisons couldn’t properly space people out and the cops, eager to justify their budget, they just kept arresting and ticketing people for minor offenses. They were asked to slow down and focus on major and violent crimes because the crown’s office saw this coming since way before covid.
So, prosecutors had to go through thousands of charges in order to decide what to keep and what to drop. More tax money and labour and hours they didn’t have to spare. Of course they’d miss things.
And this article points to a staff shortage and a filing system. It was too many emotionally challenged cops, a lack of social supports, and people who feel safer with more police, but not more lawyers to actually lay charges and prosecute offenders.
Someone in a lucid dream can have different levels of control and awareness.
I’ve been naturally lucid dreaming since I was six. At times I can be 100% aware, to the point where I’m actively trying to keep myself asleep (figure that out, I still don’t understand how it works,) to where I know it’s a dream but don’t entirely comprehend what that means.
I can experience changes in lucidity throughout a dream, because I’m still not conscious. I’m not controlling absolutely everything I see and feel, I’m just driving the narrative and forming memories while my brain fills in the blanks. In a lucid dream you’re not your body, you’re a projection of yourself in your mind’s randomly generated theater while physiological mechanisms are doing their best to keep you from boxing your cat/partner/wall in your sleep, so it makes sense your body would feel difficult to control in a dream, because you’re still just imagining what movement feels like.
How common they are depends on the person and the circumstances around them, because people can train themselves to lucid dream. Medication, drugs, routines, mental health etc. can all impact how someone dreams.
