Most definitely not "just on the internet" (which is kind of a weird statement, the vast majority of Canadians use the internet). Just have a look at the current polling.
Anecdotally, here in NB (which is a conservative cesspool, to be fair) I've seen a few "Fuck Trudeau" stickers and flags, and have heard many go off on rants about why he's to blame for everything they dislike (typically stuff over which the prime minister has zero power).
It almost makes me feel bad for disliking Trudeau for being a massive neoliberal and lying about getting rid of first-past-the-post. I don't want to be associated with the "Fuck Trudeau" crowd.
Here's the best article I could find after some brief searching. Sorry for linking to a "law enforcement magazine", but the article is actually quite well written and concise.
There's some confusion somewhere here, but I'm not entirely sure where. If you're using a torrent client, you're not using Real-Debrid. You can download torrents via Real-Debrid, but the torrent part is done on their servers. When you then download the files, you're not torrenting, you're downloading directly from Real-Debrid's servers.
If do you want torrent client recommendations, qbittorrent on PC and LibreTorrent on Android. Just know that you wouldn't be using Real-Debrid while using these.
Link to the video, since no one has done so yet. Warning: this video is 1 hour and 44 minutes long, and if you're anything like me you will want to watch hbomberguy's entire catalogue afterwards.
I've mostly worked retail jobs in my life, but I got lucky and avoided any public-facing work during peak COVID. Customer service is rough at the best of times, but I can't imagine having to deal with the anti-mask crowd.
I wouldn't have called you an asshole until I read this comment! Really makes it seem like the whole post was more about ranting about your freedoms and those sensitive transgenders than a genuine inquiry into the lived experiences of trans guys, you know? Especially considering no one has said anything yet apart from yourself.
In case anyone reading this is actually having questions about the content of the main post, OPs anecdotes are not representative of trans men as a whole. Those who choose to present that way do so for a myriad of reasons, just as the cis men who present that way do. Would you be asking yourself these same questions about cis men? Trans people get shit if they try "too hard" to conform to gender stereotypes and also get shit if they don't conform enough.
This really reminds me of my family dynamic. Anything I do, my dad can excuse, but the smallest mistake my younger brother makes is a travesty.
I end up in the drunk tank, and my dad's only answer is "it stinks in there, eh? 😂"
My brother doesn't reply to a text for a couple of hours, and it's the end of the world.
I hate it, because my bro is a good kid, ultimately. But I can see how much the way my father treats him affects him negatively. It ends up being a self-fulfilling prophecy.
A pedestrian being hit by a small car or big car is likely ruined either way.
Vehicle size actually has a huge effect on the severity of vehicle-pedestrian collisions.
I find that full-size SUVs and pickup trucks pose a particular danger for pedestrians.
A pedestrian hit by a full-size SUV is twice as likely to die than a pedestrian hit by
a car under similar circumstances, while being hit by a pickup truck rather than a
car increases the death probability by 68%. I find that high-front-end vehicle designs
are particularly culpable for the higher pedestrian death rate attributable to large
vehicles. A 10 cm increase in the front-end height of a vehicle increases the risk of
pedestrian death by 22%.
The 87-year-old pontiff reportedly made the homophobic remark in a closed-door meeting last week as he told Italian bishops that gay men shouldn’t be allowed to train for the priesthood.
The newspaper articles, which were translated from Italian, claimed the Pope had said there is “frociaggine” – which translates in English to “faggotry” – in some of the seminaries.
Francis’ comments were made in the context of proposals from the Italian bishops to amend guidelines on candidates to seminaries.
"Faggotry in the Seminary" sounds like a Catholic-themed porno movie from the '80s.
As gross and homophobic as this is, I doubt it cracks the top 1000 worse things the Church has done.
I still had the thought that it might be something brought about by seeing people they look up to being a certain way and not from internal, intrinsic reasons.
Funnily enough, that's very similar to the thought process I had regarding masculinity when I came out to myself as non-binary.
If I were you, I'd check around your area for a bike co-op. They often have great deals on used bikes they tuned up, so you'd save money and end up with something as good (or even better!) than entry-level hybrid models. Plus co-ops tend to be staffed by the hugest bike nerds who are sincerely eager to help new cyclists.
If you'd rather buy new, I'd recommend an entry-level (starting at around 600$) hybrid from any of the big bike brands (this advice is a bit location-specific, I'm talking about North America here). I ride a Trek FX1, but all the big bike brands have similarly-featured models.
Whatever you do, please stay away from cheap, big box store bikes. These are usually assembled by people who are not trained bike mechanics and shoddily assembled bikes can easily be dangerous. They also often have non-standard parts, making repairs and maintenance frustrating.
They're talking about Real Debrid, which is a subscription service allowing access to hosters and easy conversion of torrents to direct streams. It's really cheap and absolutely worth the money IMO, but RD doesn't seed torrents. Distributing content in that manner would get them in heaps of legal trouble.
I guess it does somewhat solve the problem of leeching, as if anyone has streamed a torrent via RD in the past 30 days you'll just load their cached copy, but I was perhaps naïvely hoping for an actual addon (RD is not an addon but rather can be configured through Torrentio) that somehow seeded torrents I stream.
The worse part is, what infrastructure does get built isn't used because it's mostly useless, and people use this lack of use as justification for not building more.
