The most impressive flair of completely worthless coding on this website is how if you click the like button there’s an animation of a heart rising from it, and if you manage to click THAT heart it unlikes the post. No one would ever attempt this maneuver on purpose. I have done it by mistake 5000 times because the rising heart floats directly above the button to expand the tags on a post when I’m on my phone. …Actually, I have yet to catch the broken heart animation that falls down when you slaughter the rising heart. Would… Would that re-like the post…?
Many brave scientists in the notes have now confirmed it DOES re-like the post! Most of them have also politely apologized for spamming me with notifications by testing it, which is how I learned that if you like and unlike the same post twenty times op still only gets one notification tops on the current activity page. :( I want to see the same name fifty times in a row and know they’re doing science. :( (For the record this seems to be the same whether you have notes bundled or not.)

they’re always bringing experts or activists on the news to agitate about porn and there’s a standard script for this that’s like “I think sex education is important, I’m not anti-sex, but so much of this porn is violent and misogynistic if not outright illegal, and it’s far too accessible to our children”
I want to see someone finally be brave enough to say that the government should just make its own porn for teenagers that accords with community values, so they don’t have to go to these shady places to get it. I think the government porn would probably be pretty bad but I would be so eager to hear about the process of designing it. there would be so many stakeholders and consultations. in canada it would have to be bilingual
BILINGUAL CANADIAN PORN NOW
how would they do it? just subtitles? or do the actors need to say the french line immediately followed by the english line and vice versa? or will there be a voiceover? will it be published twice, with the second having been dubbed?

“college is the best years of your life” “college is for meeting new people and expanding your mind” wrong. college is for discovering new types of grief. also the timeloop

In Canada, we’re famous for our bilingualism. Sure, there’s other bilingual countries out there. Some might even be tri- or quadrilingual. We don’t know, and our media doesn’t tell us. All we do know is that when you pick up a cereal box from the shelf, you get to learn what the French name of the cereal is. It’s Cheerios. Couldn’t have guessed that.
All this means that, throughout your life in Anglo Canada, you are constantly getting a subliminal reinforcement of French. One day, you discover that you can actually read a reasonable amount of the microwave installation instructions despite having pulled the wrong manual out of the box. Shortly after that, you begin to feel a curiosity for this mysterious other culture. And by that, I mean you want to go buy a French car.
Unfortunately for me and my fellow Canucks, options for French cars are few and far between. The overwhelming hegemony of the Americans mean that the absolute weirdest stuff we get is made in Romania under contract to Germans using Japanese robots. Why do we not have Citroëns? There is no valid reason, other than the fact that they went nearly bankrupt the last time they tried to sell their cars here. That’s not supposed to discourage you, silly, General Motors has gone bankrupt three or four times while I’ve been writing these sentences!
So, if you’re out there, French automakers, please bring your weird cars to my country. We can go get a steamé and a Pepsi, and we can find out if the interior of your car holds up well to poutine gravy stains. It probably doesn’t, but that’s okay, I’ll still take the depreciated Francomobile and enjoy opulent luxury comfort on my way back to my home province, where the only French we use is to incorrectly pronounce the phrase “croissaint-wich” at the airport Burger King.
