I’ll gladly take the septum-pierced ladies. I’ll take the septum-pierced enbies and men, too.

I’ve never seen an ugly person with a septum piercing.

Which is why I said biological parent and not father.

Nothing in this comic necessarily implies that the dad isn’t the kid’s biological parent, though.

Pretty sure that’s heronsy.

I honestly feel that’s less of a diss on the Neo and more of a statement on how overpowered phones are now, especially considering the limitations placed on mobile OSes.

My cyclist confession is that I hate doing bicycle maintenance.

In the 5 years I’ve had my current bike, I think it’s on it’s fourth drivetrain?

Even then, over 5 years of replacing neglected chains, chain rings and cassettes pretty much every year, I still paid less in parts than what 10 tanks of gas would cost. Not to mention the savings on vehicle purchase, parking, insurance, heck even a gym membership.

Fluent Reader was my stopping point when looking for a good desktop RSS reader. I’d rather a non-Electron-based app, but hey, non-programmers beggars can’t be choosers.

Peggle was released 19 years ago.

We’re as far from Peggle as Peggle was from games such as Super Mario Bros 3 and Ninja Gaiden.

Hey! As a vegan stoner, I resent that. I use an Arch-derivative (EndeavourOS btw).

French people and French-Canadians both use anglicisms, just in different ways.

For example, if we take the sentence “I parked my car in the parking lot for the weekend”, someone from France might say:

J’ai stationné ma voiture dans le parking pendant le weekend

whereas someone from Canada could say

J’ai parké mon char dans le stationnement pour la fin de semaine

Both have influence from English, but in different places. English loanwords in Canada tend to originate from the beginning of the 20th century (a reason why many car-related terms in Canadian French are anglicisms, such as “bumper”) and in France loanwords tend to be a more recent phenomenon.

I’m French-Canadian. My native language is French, I spoke French at home growing up and the entirety of my education was in French.

When I’ve visited Paris, I had people switching to English despite me speaking exclusively in French to them.

Peanut Butter Sunday and FUUDGE are two French Canadian bands worth checking out!

I wish my commute had me going along such a nice trail!

unbiased source of news

I honestly don’t think this is possible.

Who’s deciding what counts as “biased” or “unbiased”, and how do we ensure there’s no corruption there?

How do we determine “the truth” about controversial subjects when general opinion is split?

Even if you did determine a magical method to broadcast exclusively factual information without any spin; the choice of which information gets broadcast inherently introduces bias. You can’t put literally everything that happened on Earth in a day on the evening news, so you have to choose and prioritize which information to broadcast, introducing the bias.

I’ve always thought a better solution would be having news sources be more explicit about their biases, rather than pretending they don’t have any, but I realize that just introduces more problems without necessarily fixing anything.

Here’s a page on the official Transport Canada website that does indeed link to the same survey as OP.

IIRC, Spotube streams its music from YouTube.

Most cyclists I know want more people on the bike paths.

I’ve never heard a driver bemoan a lack of traffic.

They’re literally giving the richest family in the province 45 million in “tariff relief funds” over the next three years.

The Irvings own New Brunswick, except maybe a little patch in the north-west that’s owned by the McCains. Two of the top ten richest families in Canada, living in one of the poorest provinces. Weird coincidence.

Xcode is an IDE, this version being released in March.

The Ides of March is the day Julius Caesar was assassinated.

I think that’s all there is to the joke, unless I’m also missing something.

A friend of mine is very much the big tiddy goth GF stereotype, and she often shares screenshots of the messages men send her on dating apps.

Men are fucked up in general, but holy fuck do they get ridiculous if they think they remotely have a chance with a goth baddie.
