Careless People - Satah Wynn-Williams

Not only it is a fascinating look into Facebook, it touches me personally because I'm a Canadian female tech worker in a US based company and her perspective on a lot of thing is very relatable to me.

Next year but as of right now, it would be the PQ and honestly with time, they've become more and more like a CAQ 2. The only thing is that their leadership seems a bit more sane... I'm not convinced but I haven't been paying that much attention since the focus has been on the south...

As a quebecer, because he's a demagogue populist asshole and an awful administrator who's currently stuck in a couple of mismanagement scandals. Plus he keeps fucking up Montreal with each new budget and I'm not even gonna start on the religious laws...

He only managed to get elected because the local liberals were in shambles and the Parti Quebecois has lost itself and its appeal when QS came in. He is a symbol of the aging voter base and at least he's stable in his bullshit I guess...

Thing is, he's not an idiot and has been skirting the line of acceptability for the longest time but now it seems the karmic balance is finally bringing back the shit he threw back at him

Si ça avait suivit l'inflation, le prix aujourd'hui serait à environ 950 à Montréal...

Hushmail will provide your emails to police if asked by courts. I don't know why it's still on that infographic, this has been communicated numerous times.

Thinking that DEI is the problem in the current state of society is some serious misunderstanding of what it is and how the world actually works.

That show was so good. Sadly it's not streaming legally anywhere, at least in Canada. I had to get the Blu Ray to watch it and honestly, it holds up. I wish they didn't cancel it...

For the generation between Gen X and Millenials or anyone that's interested about it. Come share your music, memes, nostalgia or anything really.

 

Xennials is a portmanteau blending the words Generation X and Millennials to describe a "micro-generation" or "cross-over generation" of people whose birth years are between the mid-late 1970s and the early-mid 1980s.

Good magazine has described Xennials as "a micro-generation that serves as a bridge between the disaffection of Gen X and the blithe optimism of Millennials."

Xennials dated, and often formed ongoing relationships, pre-social media. They usually weren't on Tinder or Grindr, for their first go at dating at least. They called up their friends and the person they wanted to ask out on a landline phone, hoping that it wasn't their intended date's parent who picked up."

Basically, our childhood was internet less, we experienced the rise of internet during our teens and we learned to live with social media during our early adulthood.

We experienced the cold war, the rise of terrorism and are very aware of the impact of the west on the world. We were in college when the towers fell, we were part of the workforce when Facebook was created. We used IRC, ICQ Yahoo, Google, Netscape, Napster. Most of us didn't have a computer when we were young but started using them in High School.

We often identify with mix of Gen X and Millenials traits. We're often a a bit cynical but want to be hopeful and believe in people and society.

Obviously, generations are not fixed in stone and don't dictate who we are or how we think but as a group we often feel different than Gen X and Millenials. Our older siblings are Gen X, our younger siblings are Millenials, we're something in between.

 

Post your xenials playlists!

Here's one I made on Tidal because I couldn't find anything decent (suggestions welcome!) https://tidal.com/playlist/5a2e2d77-69c0-4134-9f8c-0f1e3fee221b

 

Trying to find a way to be able to chat at a distance with my kids when playing Minecraft together online.

I'm having a really hard time finding a privacy focused video/audio chat that isn't American or aimed at businesses.

Something like Signal would be perfect but they don't have a phone so yeah...

I tried to set up Jami but it's too difficult and it needs to be simple for them since the oldest is 10 :/

 

The package is basically the same as Stack TV with few additions and the ability to add Hollywood Suite.

It is owned by VMedia < Freedom Mobile < Videotron < Québecor

Not too sure why there's so many levels under Québecor but all the levels are Canadian owned and operated.
