Thankfully most of my investments are in GICs (Guaranteed Investment Certificates) which are Canadian investments with a guaranteed return. Interest rates were jacked up recently and these were giving guaranteed returns of 5%+ which I thought was good enough. They’ve dropped to about 2.5% and I was thinking of moving more money into mutual funds. Good thing I didn’t.

The only mutual fund I bought into is mostly based around US stocks. I bought in at $13.20 per unit and its now worth $12.40 per unit so a loss of $0.80 per unit. I have 800 units so that’s currently a total loss of $640. At its height it was about $14.50 per unit which would have meant a total gain of $1,000. Even if the value dropped to $0 I’d still have plenty of savings so I’m not worried!

The government eventually said exotic dishes with no French name are allowed as an exception. Looking up menus of Indian places in Montreal shows they have completely Indian names for many of their dishes.

Quebec government, specifically. Other provinces only require government services to be provided in both French and English but private businesses can mostly do what they want. Quebec requires private business to be conducted in French unless the customer requests service in a different language. Any non-French text or speech made to a customer before they request it can be seen as a violation. They can be a little overzealous at times.

You laugh but the Quebec government attempted to fine an Italian restaurant for having the names of their dishes in Italian, many of which have no French name.

Twitter is filled with porn and racism but still has payment processing and ads. 4chan has payment processing. I don’t think this is a universal truth. It’s more like some sites purposefully chose to have strict guidelines for whatever reasons.

Jesus quite literally loved prostitutes. It’s in the gospel.

I was a huge fan of the Hitman series. I haven’t bought a Hitman game since they switched to the always online, buy the gamepass, dark pattern crap.

Political compass memes always end up feeling like that. The idea comes from the original political compass quiz site lacking nuance and placing people into extreme ideologies. The memes were meant to parody the site by ironically conflating normal views with extremist views, but the parody seems to be missing and they’ve just become what they were meant to parody.
