I just don't get why Canadia allows people 8 years away from standard retirement age to join.
Somebody has to guard the National Maple Syrup Reserves. -

But I don't get Social Security for this. its getting hard for me though. I'm not real old but I'm old for my father's side genetics which the last 4 generation died in their 50s. I'm almost 58.
You're a kid. you're barely 30s? you got another 30 years before trying to collect an SSDI (Canadian version)
Ha ha ha Canada gives out really shitty and low disability payments (relative to other first world countries, and my province in particular is not spectacularly different in that regard). But! They give them out pretty readily. Do I need it? With the shape of society at present, it probably genuinely is the only thing standing between me and mendicant vagabondage (or in the worst case, outright criminality). I would argue I don't need it, and that society simply doesn't want to take the gamble on which way I end up leaning to survive if the money tap gets turned off. The formless blob that is society could change its shape ever so slightly - it would be barely a quiver or a twitch, really - and I could/would support myself.
But society wants that less than it wants to pay me to avoid the risk of me doing something disruptive, and who am I to argue? -
2023-09-22 at 12:14 AM UTCTo clarify, all society need do is stop requiring consistency and reliability of me. Stop requiring there be a... concreteness to my existence. Allow me to flutter in and out of a workplace, to work for them and collect a pay check on a whim with no strings attached other than that I worked for the hours I was paid. I am inconsistent. Constistently. Intermittently psychotic, if you will (I won't, but that's what the piece of paper says - it's more more like I'm intermittently disposed to functionality for ??? reasons).
A society which emphasizes a consistent ability to show up and grind 40+ hours a week (or less, but at a scheduling manager's convenience rather than my own) really has no place for me in terms of employment. But it is not hard to envision a society that does. -
2023-09-22 at 12:18 AM UTCPreferably let me flutter in and out of multiple workplaces, so I am not remembered by the people there the next time I deign to work.

I told you five years ago you would die before you hit 60. Your toe is already dying, the rest will soon follow. -

N'est pas "francois". Nom de Dieu de bordel de merde! C'est "francais", avec une cedille: "Français". Hon hon hon tabarnak. -
2023-09-22 at 12:51 AM UTCFucks me up that I mostly nailed that post without having to look anything up. The only part I needed help on was the cussing. "Nom de Dieu de bordel de merde!" is quite the fucking mouthful... Jesus Christ, Frenchies.
There's some charm in that though, I guess. Like if you can maintain your rage for long enough to spit that out in place of "fucking christ", that's impressive. That's a whole ass Sentence of Scorn, not an expletive. -

Nah. Quebecois only begrudgingly know English because it is, quite ironically, the Lingua Franca. If the Lingua Franca had remained Frankish, I'd be more bilingual. Alas, poor Frenchies. Most Canadians probably aren't much better than me at speaking French - certainly most are not capable of conversational French, or using it in a professional setting (the biggest reason to be bilingual is career opportunities, which only exist because we are a bilingual country by force of law... most people don't like French people or their language enough to put up with either for an extra 20k a year though). It's a bit like trigonometry: if you use it regularly in your adult life that's one thing, but ask a random adult basic trig and you aren't likely to get an answer.
Hardcore Quebecois know English to the extent that like... the Japanese know English. The younger generations of Quebecois know English as damn near a first language (old folks hate this), and Canadians outside of that wretched shithole province know French to a similar extent as the hardcore Quebecois know English. Nobody cares about French, and the native speakers know it. That's why they force through laws to have it on all our packaging: because their language is dead, and soon to be replaced by Arabic in its motherland.
