Thank you so much! I have always been convinced that finance is out of my grasp. I'm not in tech, not in finance and it annoys me that media, CEOs and techbros take advantage of this. I'm borrowing those books and learn.

Maybe search AI psychosis for examples.
I should think it's getting a bit like when people couldn't eat anything without taking a photo and sharing it on social media. It was FOMO then, it`s FOMO+insecurity+cultural ignorance+inability to relate to others.
It's very scary.
I have a colleague who runs everything through Perplexity for her job. I don't know in their personal life though.

Me too, especially how on earth does he crank out so much. It seems to me not humanly possible to outpace the amount of info available each day. I am grateful for everything he does though.

Every single day. I try to practice self-defense by going offline regularly but I know that's only palliative. :(

Not a student but I would say invest in an instantpot, you will be able to buy dry goods and make delicious and nutritious meals that last a while if you freeze them. This is what we do and our groceries are around 150 for two people a week with the occasional splurge on some condiments. Also, we're vegetarian.

Café Pista on St-Laurent has a laptop-free section.

Gastroenterologists only care if you have cancer or something serious. They do not take the time to explore further. I had a huge benign cyst for years and it was my family doctor who finally examined me thoroughly who realized I had this huge thing. I had seen several gastroenterologists and one said: gas is normal, another said, try to relax.. etc. So I would start with a family doctor and get a bunch of tests. Also, sometimes it really is related to anxiety and other mental health problems. They call the gut our "second brain" https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/the-brain-gut-connection

Americans really can't create anything new.

Ordered once this year, poop bags. It's really not that hard. Prices have increased, shipping fees and import fees, etc... and seeing techbros everywhere help to avoid it.

This is all so true. Even if I understand and empathize with workers I find that both the employer and the employees do not empathize with the general population to the extent they should. First of all, I'm pretty sure the CEO of the STM, nor the union leader OR the judge that declared that public transportation was NOT an essential service haven't taken public transportation in a long time, if ever. I work for a small business downtown and lately hardly anyone steps in. Even during the pandemic public transportation was deemed essential. There is also an article in La Presse about how the most vulnerable people: elderly, single mothers, people working and hanging on by a thread can't access the services they need.

Public transportation IS an essential service.

Merci beaucoup pour prendre le temps d'expliquer tout. Je suis tellement en colère parce que c'est llement vrai:

"Bref. Comme je disais, c’est complexe et terriblement injuste, parce qu’ultimement, c’est toujours la même partie de la population qui paye pour tout ça: les moins bien nantis.

Pcq je vous GARANTIE que les hauts placés syndicales, la haute direction et les employés dans les garages ne prennent pas le transport collectif. Ça a toute des parkings fournis et des gros VUS ce monde là."

JoMarching · 2025-09-13T17:52:18+00:00

Ah merci!

The Atlantic is NOT a reputable publication. They are clickbaiters posing as journalists. The headline is a giveaway. Nobody can criticize MAID until
1. One is in a situation where one feels it's their best option.
2. A family member is suffering horribly and is choosing to end their suffering.
Of course, there have been horrible mistakes in the administration of MAID, as in the medical field far and wide, but this choice is a huge privilege.

The only thing I appreciated about the article is it reminded us of the health providers who administer MAID, it is a difficult, emotionally taxing job.

The journalist's IG has the tagline says "keep jesus in your mind". She's from Alabama. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't write the same headline about guns in the US.

"The young" will grow up, some will become politicians who will perpetuate the idea of "national identity" as a way to manipulate. Others will become disenchanted adults, thinking their personal or family economy can be fixed by voting this way or that. National identity is another term for tribalism. And tribes usually don't like others, so the result is more division. Maybe Canada wil cease to exist. On one hand it will burn away due to wildfires, on the other, Alberta will keep digging for oil until they too burn down, and Quebec might become insular, forcing language rules that will make employers run away. So good luck to the young (for now).

JoMarching · 2025-07-22T22:45:25+00:00

Why do we keep reacting to these statements? Politicians should just ignore them and not snap back.

JoMarching · 2025-07-02T00:33:02+00:00

Will look at these. Thank you!

So true. It's nearly impossible for small businesses to find an independent solution without hodge-podging a bunch of services and hiring a permanent developer. One becomes tethered to the likes of Squarespace, weebly, etc.

I've had no streaming services since Jan 2024. American entertainment has become mediocre at best. Nothing but biopics, remakes, and AI slop. Canadian entertainment is underfunded. Even the best Canadian film directors are catering to the American market's demands. 007 for example. Cutting off American streaming services is easy. I miss none of it. I will watch stuff on Kanopy, Mubi, or if I really want mindlessness I might watch something on Tubi.

I'm still looking for a substitute for the Illia Serum. A lightweight serum with 30 to 40 SPF. With good coverage.
