not sure where else to post this observation but vancouver had its municipal election yesterday and because there are a significant number of mooks who show up and just vote for the first name on the ballot, a guy with a hitler mustache whose platform was just "rounding up illegal immigrants" got the most votes out of all the kooky outsider candidates, outperforming local favourites rollergirl and the lady i sometimes see walking around topless on commercial drive

A few years ago (in the US) I had my debit card number get out in the wild and used in occupied Korea in small transactions to try and avoid notice. When I found it the bank reversed everything, even months old, including the international ATM fees. Didn't have to talk to police or anything, just filled out a form. Was completely painless. So hopefully its similar in Klanada

if big dicks are evolutionary superior then why do modern chimpanzees still have tiny chimp dicks

In fact, the penis of the common chimpanzee is no shorter than in humans, averaging 14.4 cm (5.7 inches), and some other primates have comparable penis sizes relative to their body weight.[69]

in two days of lectures in child development so far, the professor, a barrel-chested prick with quiffed hair and tribal neck tattoos, has explained that (1) penis size is the most important trait of natural selection and evolutionary theory (then showed images of large penises compared to small ones, then human penises compared to chimp penises) and kept saying 'i think this speaks for itself! no comment necessary!' (2) that europeans who left to europe to fight with isis were 'more than likely, if not empirically-provable, to be born evil', (3) women shouldn't be 'biologically able to select their mates, but well, here we are somehow'. he also asked us to 'please never film him or record him in any way' under threat of removal from the lecture, and refers to children with mental illness as 'autists' or 'crazy, if not completely deranged'. he is also the head of the department. he's also said to visit his office hours because he gets lonely, and then winked. waiting to find out if he brings up ladder theory, pick up artistry, and involuntary celibacy next, and am near certain that he's going to start talking about peterson and harris in no time.


if your professor is a rightist but is so personally repellent that he discredits any ideas supports, does that still count as the infamous College Professor Pushing Marxism On Naive College Kids?

they're psych students, the majority of your cohort likes him for babbling during class so they don't have to do anything to earn their degrees. the good news is that you are going to crush them.

So instead of adding more buses and drivers to accommodate more routes needed for a growing city (and its insane half empty sprawling suburbs,) Edmonton Transit Service is going to kill the main east-west route through downtown that literally everyone uses to get anywhere and use the buses from that to give the far flung subdivisions token service.

Someone had the audacity to say that taking buses out of the main downtown route will eliminate the rush hour congestion that drivers are always complaining about. Congestion from the buses. That get in the way of all the prairie tough guy vanity trucks that will never be used for actual truck work.

This is also happening in the aftermath of the ridiculous new arena squatting in the middle of downtown that the city generously bought for the Katz Group for millions of dollars, which doubled all the parking prices downtown overnight, so even people who can drive downtown don't want to because it costs 40 fucking dollars to park for an evening out.

I love this dumbass city

The traffic reduction strategy could still work. Those riders just need to pitch in by driving at top speed through downtown Edmonton at rush hour.
