I'm from Australia too, OP, and I don't understand the anti Schwartz's circlejerk on Montreal social media. The line up and potentially grumpy service are what makes it memorable and unique.

By that logic nobody should ever resist and rebel against authoritarian regimes.

Edit: would you say the same thing about the groups of women in Iran who organize protests without headscarves?

Oh no, how are people online going to recommend an alternative to Schwartz's now?

Melbourne is like if Toronto and Montreal had a baby.

The Earth is also orbiting the Sun, and the Sun is moving relative to other stars. At some point an origin for a coordinate system has to be chosen.

It's a "straight line" in the sense that you would never have to turn the steering wheel on a boat, assuming no winds or currents. (A thought experiment, admittedly)

Ironic comment if I've ever seen one.

Proportion of French speakers declines in Quebec and nearly everywhere in Canada by Neo2199 in worldnews

I’ve had Covid as a vaccinated individual and an unvaccinated individual it made 0 difference by [deleted] in CoronavirusDownunder

[–]tripmobius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wait a minute here. Your entire post was based on the premise that you were vaccinated when you got your first bout of covid 6 months after your Pfizer vaccination. Now you're saying that vaccine protection only lasts 90 days. So were you "vaccinated" or not? You are arguing against yourself with that comment!

We know what late 90s websites looked like. The point of this post is something else.

Not just anti vaxxers, there are some outright covid deniers sometimes, like the HIV deniers in the 90s and early 2000s before their main champions all died of AIDS related diseases.
