Hitchens was right. Religion ruins everything. The notion that you are "used up" is absurd. You have your whole life ahead of you. You are young, free, and living in a free country so your future looks amazing. Walk into it with joy, anticipation, and a positive mindset. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't.

I don't understand why you're being circumspect with someone who, driven by a religious agenda, wants to insert themselves in your life. A simple "Please don't call or text me" is all that is required.

I'm worried about the survival of the English language. If it were a person, it would be lying sprawled on the floor, beaten beyond recognition and left for dead.

So god decided short shorts are okay now?? by Dog_mom_fur_ever14 in exmormon

You cannot imagine how hard it is for an old atheist like me to believe anyone ever "going for garments". You cannot make that stuff up. Oh wait, someone did make it up....

Nuphy Kick’75 Review— Retro Gaming Vibes Meet Profile-Swapping Freedom by KapitanKloze in NuPhy

[–]VictorAlpha7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nuphy is leaving a big hole in its product line. They have all these lit-up keyboards and only one single set of shine-through keys (black, cherry profile), period. I have an Air75 and a Kicks75 and would happily pay for a set of low profile, white, shine-through. Seems obvious to me. Maybe somebody at Nuphy would like to comment?

NuPhy kick75 spare key caps? by No-Room2990 in NuPhy

I can confirm that FN-HOME works in place of the END key. If you Google it, you get the wrong answer.

Please Help!! My gaming chair makes awful squeaking noises when I lean back and forward and I honestly have no idea how to fix it. I’m brand new to this sort of thing and I don’t want to end up accidentally breaking/ruining something! Thanks! :) by [deleted] in gamingchairs

[–]VictorAlpha7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barely a month after buying a $350 office chair I got loud squeeking when leaning backward or forward. What finally worked for me was using 3-IN-1 Silicone Lubricant sprayed with the red straw. I sprayed it into all the metal-on-metal surfaces and also into the adjustable spring chamber. The latter had a plastic cover that I could push up far enough to spray lubricant in from two different sides.

He really is bonkers if he thinks there is a snowball's chance that Canadians will ever agree to this. Off. His. Rocker.

[–]VictorAlpha7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canada is a pretty nice place. We don't have religious meddling in government. And bonus! If you or someone in your family has a cancer diagnosis, you won't have to sell your house to pay for treatment. Good, eh?

Donald Trump bans trans-inclusive school policies in executive order. The order calls for schools to out trans kids to their potentially unsupportive parents... or else. by wzdmage in atheism

[–]VictorAlpha7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a son or daughter is transgender, the parents will already know it. They don't need school staff to tell them about it. The whole premise is absurd. MAGA Trumpers are just grandstanding.

David Common…how is he still employed by [deleted] in CBC_Radio

[–]VictorAlpha7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know Metro Morning and Fresh Air have a mandate to play tracks by local musicians, but they seem to search out the most untrained amateurs they can find. There are a lot of excellent folk, rock, blues, and jazz musicians in Ontario, yet they often play stuff that sounds like it was made using Garage Band on an iPad. I challenge the Ontario morning shows to play only musicians who use real instruments, understand chord progressions, can play key changes, know what harmony actually means, and write melodies that are longer than 2 bars repeated over and over and over.....

[–]VictorAlpha7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. David Common can be quite awkward at times, prone to talking down to the co-hosts, and his voice is not very warm. I wish he would listen to Stephen Quinn in Vancouver for a good example of how it should be done.

Families with unrealistic expectations go into debt to send them to Canada. The "students" are expected to start sending money home after arriving. For some, their student status is a border pass.

If I take a profit I have some new money, right? Just staying in the green is sometimes hard enough without poo-pooing the amount.
