An old man was screaming at a group of Sikh youths to 'go back to their country' and that 'they were all terrorists.' It happened yesterday (~1:30pm) at the LRT station at 7th Street in my city. #yyc#Sikhism
I paused and stood there for a solid minute, making eye contact with the guy. I grimaced, and used my glare. On reflection, I should've just boxed his ears and asked him if he was raised by wolves.
I'll be learning a lot and seeing some old friends with Engineers Without Borders. Particularly on ESG, Calgary's place in it, and the rise of clean tech entrepreneurship in Calgary.
It's a talk by Ryan Mullens at Memory Anchor Inc. He'll be chatting with The Canadian Club of Calgary on how his team is helping Canadians remember the veterans, the fallen and the sacrifices made by Canadians. #yyc#yycevents#LestWeForget#CanadaRemembers#yyctech
One thing about the fediverse: you don't see a lot of people in your feed saying things like, "Here I am on the Hellsite, psychologically damaging myself and others. This network is bad for me in almost every way but my addiction keeps me stuck here, coming back again and again for more toxic interactions because I guess I'm just a stupid piece of garbage. Who else is disgusted with themselves but unable to escape? Let's get a show of hands."
But why are flamethrowers seemingly standard issue on a small Antarctic base?
I get that being an American base that everyone has guns (sigh) but the flamethrowers makes me wonder what they were expecting out there.
