It might be difficult for him. Canada’s immigration system is primarily built on skills. Highly skilled and in demand workers have a comparatively easy path. Skilled in this case can mean different things but typically requires a trades certificate or university degree and several years of full time experience. If he doesn’t clear that bar then he needs to go through a provincial program which may have different skill requirements, but would require him to live in a specific place for several years.

From your description it sounds like he works less than full time in a low skill area. It may be difficult for him to qualify.

You can put his information into this calculator and it will tell you if he qualifies. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/check-score.html#wb-cont

Nothing wrong with being attracted to women. Lots of us are. It’s just a creepy framing.

So let’s sexualize actresses that aren’t generally sexualized? What a great time we’re having!

Anathem by Stephenson fits this bill. Cold open to a universe with no exposition and no viewpoint character that gets things explained to them. It’s pretty fucked up until you begin to piece together the clues and build the world logic for yourself.

The Chronoliths by Robert Charles Wilson (not to be confused with that other Robert Wilson) deserves an honorable mention. The story is driven by the appearance of massive monument commemorating a military victory 20 years in the future. As the story progresses more of these future monuments appear as the story drives towards the conditions that will initiate the war.

All of my musical instruments and a surprising number of tools. A lot of vinyl records. He’ll I have computer thats 25 years old that I still turn on.

That’s not a public health test as it’s not reportable. Just lime I can take my own temperature but public health doesn’t care. Compare the treatment of COVID to sexually transmitted infections that are reported and contact traced.

Yes. But compare it to getting the clap. With a sexually transmitted disease they will report it for statistical purposes then contact trace etc. With COVID it’s only reportable with a fatality. If you test positive there is no way to get it counted. You just don’t know how much is out there.

When I say you can’t get tested it’s not like there are clinics where you can go in and et tested like you used to. Still can for STBBDs though.

COVID broke public health. You can’t even get tested where I live. Nobody has any idea of the prevelance.

What? What did the 'loaf do to anyone?

Infrequently

Regularly?

I always hated it. Particularly because it ruined that Simple Minds song for me.

That’s $30 down the drain.

I very much want to know but I ain’t click’n nuth’n.

My class didn’t know who Quentin Tarantino is.

But I don’t want random bandcamp samplings. I mean I like new music and go to a lot of Indy shows, but I want the ability to hear a song I like and then do a deep listen to the artist without committing to CDs or a trip to the library if it’s available.

I don’t disagree with you. But I have a lot of CDs already :) The rationale for me is that it’s all available. I watched a Billy Joel documentary recently (I know 🙄) but it made do a listen through his discography. I’m glad I didn’t buy those. It turns out I already knew the songs I liked and discovered 0 enjoyable deep cuts. But even at $15 a disc that would have been a $200 play through. And yes I’m aware of the high seas and the library.

I pay for YouTube Music and premium gets thrown in for free. Why? It’s mostly momentum.

I used Groove back when that was a thing, and when it folded I could migrate my playlists to YouTube so it was easy and than $10 a month. Now it’s $30 but it’s still like buying a cd a month. I am slowly de-googling and some month will stop using the service. It just hasn’t been a top priority.

“Go #@*! yourself!”

Mus musculus was the one I was thinking of. The -culus is just the diminutive suffix.
