“On July 8, 2022, the member by the name of "PepsiFree" recruited his 100th member into the " Calgarypuck Social Justice Mafia." Pepsi is a strong supporter of [[woke]] culture, and his achievement did not go unnoticed. Pepsi was presented with a $20 gift certificate for [[Tim Hortons]], a well known restaurant chain with Canadian roots, named after the late popular hockey player [[Tim Horton]] by the moderatorssenior members of the forum. One such moderatormember (who did not wish to go on recordPetek23), stated that he "gets a kick out of Pepsi driving long time members out of their mind, with his shallow, contrarian posting style. And we [[Hipster (contemporary subculture)|hipsters]] enjoy his condescending delivery."

Ah, sorry I thought you wanted me to just randomly check Wikipedia edits, I had forgotten CP had a page. But no, no matches.

Our school insists on sending everything as a PDF that you have to have downloaded for extra security or some such nonsense. It's a school newsletter. There's nothing that so secretive in there that it needs to be extra high security.

I've never had a problem in France, no problems in Tahiti, even North Africa it was passable, but in Quebec? Huh?

I'm pretty excited about the year off in France. We're putting the kids in school there and taking every long weekend and/or school break to travel around Europe. In two weeks we are doing a preview trip to check out a few cities we might want to live in.

I think it's amazing that the French school calendar has 4 separate 2 week vacations throughout the year, which will provide you with an excellent opportunity to experience more of Europe while you're there. Living the dream!
Edit: Looks like they're currently in the middle of the first 2 week break for the year.

I hate that. If it just came as an email I'd skim it, but when my inbox is already flooded I can't be bothered to go and download and open a PDF so I can see when the next band fundraiser is and what special days they're celebrating this month.

You're not going there for work?
If your kids are little obviously they'll just roll with it but man I couldn't see a teenager being thrilled at that prospect, lol.

I used to get relevant banner ads, but whoever's shopping for VWs and cheap furniture... stop it.

I focus on saying zed to make a point (like not letting spell check change colour or favourite) but zee sounds way better. Especially singing the alphabet with my toddler considering zee rhymes with P and V. Y and zee has a bunch better ring to it than Y and zed.

Mumble, mumble, alphabet. Something, something, sounds like zed.

Pop up ads suck. Not a fan, make money some other way. Maybe a raffle or something. Just my thoughts....
