    I did some pure Mountain Brew™ few weeks ago. It only fermented for a week and it was around 8% ABV. 10/10, would recommend.
    I plan to make a mead with it next batch. Any tips or other suggestions?
    I'm kind of new to brewing alcohol.

    This is actually inspiring. Not sure most poeple could afford installations like in the second video though. And the guy in the first video did have a point; it would be hard to share this lifestyle with someone else, or even just to invite friends at home up to a certain point.

    And TFW program aside, the same principle goes for the housing market. It's much easier to convince some europeans to pay 1500$ a month for a 3-rooms apartment because they are used to expensive housing. They will generally be less informed about our consumer protection laws and accept any lease, legal or not.
    If you want to see it with a more humanitarian perspective, what's the point of getting so many immigrants if we can't house them properly or give them proper jobs? It's not helping them and it's not helping us that much.

    And then you have companies displaying highly skilled job offers at minimum wage knowing nobody sane will apply. Then they claim that no canadian can be hired for their job and they need foreigners. They end up hiring foreigners for half the wage they would pay a canadian and exploit them all they want.
    Foreigners are attractive because they don't know their rights and their value and can easily be abused.
    Sure, the program has been created because of a worker's shortage, but now that jobs are scarce there is no reason to keep it up. --And that's why the different governments are starting to say that it has to stop.
    This year, the largest job fair in Montréal had the double of attendant they had last year. 8000 people looking for a job. Half of them were newly arrived, the other 50% were either jobless, already on the job market or recently graduated.

    Yes, but if you facilitate access to foreign workers, let's say with a "temporary foreign worker program", like it is the case in Canada, companies will go after them first because they are cheap labor and are easy to abuse. Meanwhile, there are new graduates who struggle to find jobs.
    It does not help canadians and it does not help foreigners. Sure, we can always blame the companies, but the government also has it's part of responsibility by enabling this.

    To be fair, the canadian minister of immigration recently admitted that they should have slowed down on immigration sooner.
    Landlords and shareholders do have incentives to drive rent up and wages down, and immigration is one way to do it. The housing and job market crisis aren't there for no reason, and it's partly due to immigration.

    Because Canada has the trashied oil production of the world. It's all oil sands.
    It's better for the environment to import petrol from the US rather than produce it "locally".

    Caesar is actually described as having a "neutral" karma. He doesn't think he is evil, since people he gets killed are all barbarians anyway. Let's say he just favor order above all.
    I mean, sure, the legion is portrayed as the bad guys and the game don't give you that many occasions to get to know them, but if you search for some lore about Caesar, the legion can look like a valid option without playing an evil/bad karma character, just like any other faction.
    Also, Nipton had it coming anyway.

    Well, it would be a bit unfair to talk about "European" games and "Asian" games, and on the other side "USA-made" games.
    There are three countries in North America, we should at least include the two others.

    Fallout, Wasteland, The Elder Scrolls.
    Also smaller games come to my mind, like Child of Light or South Park: The Stick Of Truth which are made by Ubisoft Montreal.

    I certainly hope so. I stopped caring about them years ago for other reasons. I simply saw that story over the news when it happened. But I could argue that it still took them the departure of their social media manager to realize what they were doing. If she just left without talking about her experience, who knows how they would be today.

    I suggest you read about QueerSatanic. TST is known to sue anyone who criticize them. So much for the freedom to offend, I guess.
    About the separation of church and state, they haven't achieved anything. What they fought for is not secularism, but plurality of religion, which is just as bad as nothing - they actually pushed for more religious symbols in public space, instead of fewer. About reproductive rights, or their activism in general, some people fear that they might be causing a second satanic panic, which can only end poorly for satanists all around the world, and give fuel for christian to think that abortion leads to hell.
    And as a religion, you can realize that lot of things TST does is un-satanic to begin with; they are martyring themselves and proselytizing. At some point, they are doing the exact same thing they denounce from the christians in the US, like fiscal advantages for churchs and reaching children through an after school program.
    If you want a simpler reason to not like them, just know that as a non profit organization, they are not sharing their finance records, which is usually a big red flag. If you want to give to a non-profit, you should at least know where your money is going. Plus, some local branches of TST are actually disaffiliating from the main organization because they don't like how it's managed. Finally, there are already organizations that are fighting for everything TST claims to stand for, without the religious cosplay and all the shit around them.
