It's a clear cut example of dog whistling. Without literally saying it, she engaged with the conversation in a way that tells conspiracy theorists "the US DoD is chemtrailing us"

Fundamentally, the only people against this simply don't believe in covid. You don't see them crying on the internet about employers not letting people work on construction sites without hard hats - it's basic safety. As long as you accept that covid is dangerous, then you have no issue with employers requiring a vaccination.

It's just flatout wrong to say it makes no sense because an acronym is pronounced as a word, not an abbreviation of its words. AIDS isn't pronounced "awh-ids", NASA isn't pronounced "N-eh-sa".

This is strictly untrue for many climates. Where I live in Canada, 0F is average winter day, 100F is record-breaking "I might actually die" levels of heat.

-30C to 30C is not any more complicated or less intuitive than -22F to 86F

I hate this mentality of bucketing Liberals and NDP together. They're different parties with different policies, and one of the main benefits of PR is that leftists don't have to compromise our values and vote Liberal just to prevent Conservatives from winning. Treating it like left vs right just pushes us towards the Democrat vs Republican in the US.

Arena started it all, with the entirety of Tamriel generated for you to explore freely. Daggerfall moved that into a smaller region with political intrigue and a detailed character system. Morrowind took it to new exotic lands and introduced the series to both consoles and the world of modding and creators. Oblivion brought us to the heart of the Empire, realms beyond, and all new gameplay mechanics. Skyrim let you do battle with dragons in Tamriel’s harsh northern province.

Reading this paragraph kind of highlights when they stopped innovating

Temp residents, including students, also aren't included in the temporary ban which makes it basically useless

Why have essays or interviews? In Canada, my application to university was simply my transcript.

They're called C&C. I use them for making cages for my guinea pigs. There's lots of options on Amazon, they're somewhat universal.

They implemented a feature that is only available in Chromium and not part of the web standards yet. It's no different than websites that would only work on IE 20 years ago because of some proprietary Microsoft thing.
