Honestly i think im coming to terms that Im in an abusive relationship with this province holding on to potential that will never be realized and old times that are fewer and further between

Everyone I love is here but the attitude of this province and the city of Calgary is pure rot. The whole place would close a door on a house fire just to pretend nothing is happening and everything is fine. Theyd eat their shit to make you smell their breath. Why am I fighting for people who constantly let me down? Idk. Maybe its time I move to a place where people already fight for each other and already know this culture war bullshit is hiding canadas TRUE problem which is decrepit nonfunctional antitrust and a country run on monopolies and controlled by private interest in media and legislation.

Like… im kicking myself for staying. I really genuinely thought as my generation grew up things would change here. I was clearly wrong.

Literally every town in rural alberta is its butthole

Ive seen so many of them. None of them beat the allegations.

Ive lived here for long enough to know that those polls showing an NDP lead mean nothing. Alberta is absolutely everything it gets accused of being and I have 20 years in this shithole of never being proven wrong minus the ONE time people tried voting differently and I STILL HEAR BITCHING about those 4 years like it was ever worse than 40 years of conservative mismanagement

“Democracy” just determined immigrants here should be a secondary class of citizen and be denied access to services. Alberta deserves what it will get.

Denying immigrants access to public services as some kind of secondary class of citizen is racist. Dont play coy.

I think we are fucked because to me this indicates this province is continuing to vote with 0 information on gut feeling and bigotry which means we are staring down the barrel of more of this kind of politics in the future

Alberta basically just showed canada they are fine with the UCP and likely to vote them in again… we are fucked

Life is about to get a LOT harder in Alberta and it is already really hard here. Im tired of doing the insanity thing of always trying the same thing here and always being disappointed.

I still routinely have to tell people here that there have never been litter boxes in schools for kids… i just cant do it anymore. Its like we have a lead poisoning problem. Albertans will never beat the allegations of enjoying being ignorant.

No they didnt, because Alberta is full of fucking idiots who voted yes to the other 9 which had some super bullshit racist questions that all were soaked in seperatist dreck

This went exactly as intended for them. My disappointment is immeasurable.

The other 9 questions were the lede being buried by the seperation headlines and they all got a yes vote. This went as they intended. We are fucked.

Alberta also voted yes to the other nine, which means we voted to be as shitty and racist as possible while remaining.

This isnt the victory everyone wants to think it is. This went exactly as expected and means this province is going to keep blindly voting on issues that 1) dont exist or 2) they dont understand, which means we are staring down the barrel of more UCP in the future.

Alberta predictably voted to be racist and ignorant, as usual, my disappointment is expected but still bitter and Im drafting a plan to leave. This is going to get a lot worse here before it ever gets better and this vote is concrete proof that Alberta is fucking stupid and will vote against themselves if it means they dont have to see as many Indian people

Almost like the shit scientists have been saying is going to happen for years is accelerating because we did nothing and even doubled down on fucking ourselves over

I dont blame the kids for being cynical and disillusioned. I had horrible depression in high school from seeing the inevitability of our impending climate catastrophe and being told I was being “dramatic” by people who bought the lies.

I might have fucked that one up, all I can remember with certainty was there were enough sources that could be cross referenced to include the baptism of a man named jesus by john the baptist and there being mention of like a visual depiction that could be taken as a reliable second source but this was a first year history of religion paper I struggled a lot with so Id take it all with a big grain of salt

All I really remember for sure was historians can (sorta) agree he was baptised by probably john the baptist

I actually stupidly chose Jesus as a historical figure to write a proper primary sources only paper thinking there would be a breadth of info on the guy… and found out the hard way that from a historically factual standpoint all we’ve got is he probably existed, was baptized, and was executed. Straight up all weve got is what roman records gave us and one painting that might not even be right I think it was like a few depictions and some stories that corroborated

I always had this pet theory that Jesus was more like a group of dudes who had a similar message and that the guy existed and was executed by romans (thats as far as we got from roman records iirc is a guy who fit the bill existed and was executed) but that the jesus stories from the new testament were an amalgamation of different street preachers or philosophers and were incorporated into religion

But my heart also wants to believe he was a dude who was really fuckin good at pulling coins from behind someones ear

They can poop on native groundcover still!

Aw i love seagulls, i love any creature that finds a way around our mess and makes a niche inside of it. Plus they learned how to steal and that’s kinda fun.

That’s basic level, like you can pick science 20/30 or you can pick two from chemistry, physics, or bio at those levels. The mandatory one is science 30 but I think bio 30 should be baked in because we clearly did not teach enough people how their whole shit works

It’s always the online platform guys it’s like being a rich web commerce guy who stans the alt right is like a brain rotted dark triad

Maybe ruined is a bit hyperbolic , the diaphragm is actually tough and iirc skeletalbut it strains the muscles so i gave myself acid reflux and burp when i talk sometimes

Worth it? Only when im not having acid reflux

It got better over time though, the secret was simply to stop being a weird dork child who learned to force burp for a parlor trick

Canadas response to the pandemic (oops we did a convoy)makes a lot more sense now dont it :')

I like the cut of his jib
