I guess the CAQ's internal polling says they aren't doing well on social media.

I just ate a reasonable piece of soy-based baloney. It tastes like baloney, just milder somehow, and not even by a lot? I suppose the real test is why I fry these up into some Newfoundland steaks.
Downside is this cost what six or seven bucks at the store for like 150g of the stuff. A kilo and a half of this stuff would run me, seventy, eighty bucks? I could get a whole ass pig for that price and feed it, poorly, on basically my own garbage.
While I was working on compiling a PDF proof of some writing drafts this morning, I realized MS had "enhanced" office with AI. Without asking, without consent.
I was able to do the registry edit solution and now the AI.exe task does not appear to be loading when I go in to work on a draft.

I want to again remind people that AI is an equal opportunity robber. Your rough drafts? Private journals? AI don't care and will gobble that up.
Mount Vernon, the slave plantation on the American $1 bill, is responsible for one of my favourite web series of the ancient times.
Starring Azie Dungey as Lizzie Mae.
The premise is, Azie, who was an animator at the historic site, got asked a lot of dumbass questions and got told a lot of dumbass things by a lot of cretinous shitpiece American trash.
She responds to them in the character of a slave at Mount Vernon (a literal plantation on currency - hideous evil).
What's your favourite RCMP scandal, #Canada ? Others can play by adding in fun incidents involving their gendarmerie too.
Once upon a time in Alberta, there was an Albertan farmer who complained about the pollution from a nearby oil site. He complained a lot. He might have even tried bombing them. The oil company didn't like him.
The oil company convinced the RCMP to bomb their infrastructure, which they did, so they could pin it on the farmer. The horsey police did so

A thing I find funny about Americans and the American mindset is that they truly believe, if the other guy wins, or the courts decide, all those regulatory agencies will go away.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, they don't really exist right now if you have the money available to play the game. All the fight is just so that the players won't even have to pay the right bribes in the future. Pardon me. Not bribes. Campaign donations and PACs.
I am in favor of a corporate "death" penalty. Where corporations that actively pursue monopolies are seized, nationalized, and/or auctioned off into pieces.
