Bigotry is abound, apprently, within these boards. There is a level of supposed tolerance I will have no part of. Obviously, it seems to be well-embraced here. I have finally found something more fucked up than what I'm used to. Congrats. - Ruby

They were wiped out, they just weren't fully extinguishedAfter you first said they were wiped out, you were surprised when when I told you the real population numbers. But now you're doubling down, and pretending that "wiped out" means something other than "destroyed completely". Or does "wiped out" have a different connotation in your dialect of English? Maybe next time say "the population was devastated" instead.QuoteI was unaware of any previous reparationsSpeaking of matters of which you are unaware would seem to be a problem.QuoteI didnt think that the process could have dragged on that long so you have me thereWell, at least you admit to being in error in two out of three cases.QuoteThe bottom line is the Canadian government made a wholly inadequate token gesture and then had to be forced via legal means to meet its obligation, which I saw as a recent development based on the news story from last week.That is arguably true. Perhaps you understand why this is a sensitive issue domestically, and why misinformation might provoke a reaction?
You are right, I was wrong, this requires the record be set straight, an apology and some reparations
Yesterday we (a sleep deprived 40 year old who read a relevant news article recently) reported some information in error and wish to correct the record, we are happy to do so.
We stated that the colonizers of Canada wiped out all of the indigenous peoples. We would like to amend this statement to say
they eliminated merely most of them.
It was also stated that the Government of Canada had failed to address their role and history in these atrocities and had offered no restitution to the survivors of their atrocities.
This was false. The Canadanian Government has in fact offered an inexpensive apology and an insultingly low restitution of 27 Million in 2007 to be divided up amongst the 5% of their population who suffered under the systematic cultural and literal elimination of their peoples, before immediately embarking on a prolonged legal battle to avoid having to make any kind of realistic restitution which they grudgingly settled, some 16 years later.
We apologize for any misleading information above and offer 23c to be divided up amongst all those negatively impacted by these statements provided you can get it out of us in court.
The redundancy annoys me.
He added, “Her interests are all the same as his and her music is very technologically oriented,” explaining that they “both made a similar nerdy joke about a scary AI theory of the future.”
The quote was taken out of context by the British press, as part of their ongoing crusade against Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
C'mon now, you don't really believe the Times, Sun, Mail and Telegraph give a single fuck about Muslim lives and wouldn't be cheering on this distorted account in any other circumstance, do you?
Dear god. In context, the meaning is almost exactly the opposite of how it was presented. I already knew to ignore the likes of the Daily Mail, but I thought Reuters was reputable. I have been played.
I originally heard about this on Canadian television, but I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt, and assume they dumbly parroted what they were fed... like I did.
It then took a month to get my energy levels back to approaching normal. I am fairly certain it was Covid, despite the test coming back negative.
There are definitely false negatives. I know several people who've recently had a horribly bad cold that totally wasn't covid because an LFT was negative.
My partner and I both got it back in March or April 2020, shortly after it officially came to the UK. There weren't any vaccines or self tests. Masks were in short supply, and it wasn't yet clear if it was a good idea to buy them or to leave them so there'd be enough left for the nurses. I got sent to a hospital and made to wait in a chalk square outside, then someone in head-to-toe PPE asked me some questions and watched my breathing, without any physical contact. It's weird to remember it being taken that seriously. They said I'd probably had it and we should both isolate for a week. I don't remember much from that week except being absolutely fucking knackered. I'm also pretty sure it made me less mentally sharp for months. No fun.
We're both up to three or four jabs now, I've lost count.
