I’m not so sure “dipped” is the right adjective from my “sporadic at best Cost of Living Adjustment less than the inflation rate” point of view.

This is a great list that could use expansion:

I’m not sure if you’re exercising hyperbole to emphasize your point, so I’ll take you at face value. The model is still in service as a fourth generation fighter. Particular jets may be antiques. Given that Canada waited a few years to procure them, I doubt any of the CF-18’s are as old as the original F-18’s.

You can call it an antique when it’s out of service and we’re on to 6th gen. Until then, it’s a perfectly reasonable assumption that a fleet us made up of current and next-gen models, or previous- and current-gen models if you’re miserly.

At what point does following this guy around in everything he does stop being considered as reporting and start being considered stalking?

I’m going to go on a limb and guess that the Catholic school system in Ontario is run by mostly laypeople and a few secular priests instead of one of the orders renowned for their teaching ministry, like the Jesuits.

It’s OP’s friend. Shat Masel is always thinking the most outlandish things.

I wonder what it’s like being one of the businesses next to them.

You’re such a Nimrod.

Why, though? He’s doing so well at steering moderates towards the Liberals. Imagine how much worse it would be with someone actually suited for the role of PM?

…hospitals sell your information, too.

I feel so sorry for those of you living in places with for-profit healthcare.

I understand their decision to stop offering it, too, especially if I were in their position as a service provider. I still like the feature as a consumer.

I don’t see why having options are turn-offs except maybe for those who provide said options.

No port forwarding, though. Some old guides still list them as having that capability, so I try to mention it frequently.

I once realized so many of my favourite businesses were cooperatives. I started thinking of what other co-ops I could start and grow. The excitement faded once I realized it would have to not be about the money.

I edited for clarity to explain that I’m referring to the subgenre pop punk, which one could easily argue is not punk.

I’d disagree, unless you want to say pop punk isn’t punk (and if that’s what you’re saying, that’s fair).

Stuff like this springs out of acts of popular piety. When you teach that the relics of people in heaven can work as prayer aides, it’s a foregone conclusion that some may want to decorate (or even wallpaper, like the photos of the skulls) a prayer space with the highest class of relics.

This is how altars came to have a relic in a stone that the priest kisses at the beginning of every Mass.

It’s an unanticipated but popular reaction to authority and came from the bottom up rather than top down, ergo pop punk.

Just because something is old enough to become mainstream doesn’t mean it’s not punk. Green Day. Blink 182, et al. started out being labeled as punk before the term pop punk became widespread.

I mean the next generation of vehicles (and since I bought used, that’s also a generation ago)

I intentionally sought out a used vehicle with haptic menu controls. It pissed me off when I realized there was no point of having it, because the UI still locks me out of most of the interface when I am not completely stopped.

It seems like the next generation just entirely gave up on the concept of safety.

I think we know that.
