the power is in the half-truth, which is that many girls did not (and do not) receive good sex education, which includes not just "don't have sex or you'll get pregnant/die" but also things like personal hygiene. But the answer to that isn't putting toothpaste and apple cider vinegar on your crotch.

a lot of grift feminism relies on this kind of premise - that you are missing some mystical "womanly secrets" about hygiene or aesthetics and that buying in will empower you
insecurity is ever a powerful marketing tool

this sign with the annotation haunts me daily

however, I already have one shirt with Science World on it (East Van 10k cotton shirts undefeated!) and False Creek gives me The Existential Dread

the Beer Island and Trout Lake materials are quite funny as well

Oh no! I miss the family that was running it before, they were so nice and had excellent produce.
I was away for work for a few weeks and they told me they were worried about what happened to me when I returned. As such I gave them warning when I moved away permanently 🥲.

This was a weird way for me to find out that Apple Farm Market on W4th seems to changed hands 😢

I'm not a credentialist or anything but when I see credentials like that it's a red flag to me. A lack of credentials would be preferable. Having a high school education only is fine, I know plenty of smart and reasonable people who do not have post-secondary education of any kind.

Yeah, the ceremony itself wasn’t too long but waiting for the VIPs to all show up separately in their motorcades took a while. If weather is bad would make more sense to skip that to spare people waiting around on site

I felt bad for the kids and the band, they weren’t wearing much! Ditto some of the older vets in uniform. Seemed like some expediting might have been wise

it was a cool ceremony! My one gripe was that they could have had more screens. Due to the set up/trees and where the crowds are allowed to stand it's tough to actually see the ceremony. There were some screens showing footage but I wasn't able to see one until a bunch of people in front of me left

This is all I wore to stand still outside for about 45’ (I had rifle gloves on as well). Once the workout heat wore off times got tough but the crowd heat/windblock helped some (yes I did 😷 - a rare outdoor scenario where I would)

#3 is the most insidious because many people who say that know that getting sick is bad for them and that it's disrupting their life. Yet they are apathetic because they do not feel there are any effective tools. This is owned by not focusing on clean air/respirators/airborne tx.

contributing factors, as I see it:
- "it's normal for kids to be sick all the time"
- "immunity debt (kids need to get sick to be healthy)"
- "I did all the things authorities said to do and still got covid despite limiting my social life for 2 years, what's the point in trying"

however, if I'd been the main talking head Dr guy on cable tv and radio during the pandemic prime time, it would be convenient to minimize the role of my own messaging in the current public health apathy crisis

Yes, some people are hardcore antivaxxers but many people are just apathetic/lazy and won’t do something unless it’s made easy for them (in school vaxx programs!) and there are some sticks (school requirements)

anyways sorry for channeling 2013 me and livetweeting (?) a movie, it will not happen again (it will)

Statistically R is probably Ryan or Rylan because he is a dude approx my age lol

Stade* smh
