Cambodia to send plastic waste back to the US and Canada - CNN
QuidamOutrepont comments on Jul 19, 2019:
I work in the recycling business. I'm a sorter in a recycling plant. I'm one of those folks putting on those gloves, standing next to a conveyor and actually sorting the stuff with both hands. And from a humble sorter's point of view, I think there are so many things going wrong in this business.
For starters, we find way too much trash on our conveyors. Either people don't know how to sort their recycling from their trash properly, or they just don't care. Green truck or gray truck, as long as the stuff leaves with a truck, what's the difference?! I also hear on the TV news that too many recyclable stuff ends up on dumping grounds.
There are too many packages that are difficult or impossible to recycle. Just think about those Pringle's chips packages, wax cardboard sides and tin bottoms. We don't have time to split them apart.
I think it could be possible to improve our recycling rates big time, it would only take more political will from our governments. As for the corporations, those who put the merchandise and the packaging in our markets, it looks to me like another classic case of privatizing the profits and socializing the losses. They just cash in the profits and let the governments, the tax payers and the environment pay for the waste.
As for the recycling business itself, I think this is where the noble principles of preserving our environment go on a frontal collision with the harsh reality of cold blooded and globalized capitalism. Why should they sort their material here when the could have it sorted by some overseas cheap labor?! I work in a plant where too much stuff passes on way too fast, sorted by not enough sorters on machines that are not maintained and cleaned up properly. I see poorly sorted, contaminated material being baled up, piled up in containers and sent who knows where. I hear on the news some local buyers saying they would take all of our material if it was properly sorted. And I also hear about some shady brokers buying up our material and shipping it overseas.
I think my job is important, but it could be soooo much better.

Georges Brassens sang it so well back in 1972 in "Quatre-vingt quinze fois sur cent" (95 times out of 100). My translation of the chorus:
Ninety-five times out of one hundred
The woman gets bored when she fucks
Whether she confesses it or not
It's not everyday she gets her but unwrikled
The poor dudes believing
The contrary are cuckolds
So when booty time comes
She's often feeling sad, poor thing
If her heart is not beating
Her body won't bulge either

Sure we might feel small and insignificant in this endless universe. So what? To my humble knowledge, the universe goes from the infinitely large to the infinitely small.

Knowing all of this, I simply focus on what I can feel and what I can understand from my humble human point of view. I believe there are so many wonderful things in this material world, I don't see no need to make up any kind of super-natural stuff.
Also, the universe is at the same time orderly and chaotic. It spans from the infinitely cruel to the infinitely kind. So what?! Just don't be an ass!

I went into some complicated relationships with some single moms, a bit similar to what you're going through now. Some single moms might be OK.
But with the ones I met, I found it really hard to deal with the hesitation, the delay, the smoke screening. Not as much as with the mom's kids as with the families. You may try to be understanding as much as you can, but it feels like you're stepping on someone else's toes in every step you make.
I found this real tough in the long run. I though I could stand the punches, but then came that one too many blow that sent me down on the floor. I was physically and emotionally down and out. Lost my relationship, lost my job, went into a depression. I was fortunate to have the help of my family and got some serious professional help.
I'm now back on my feet, new job, new girlfriend (with no kids) new life, new town. And it's strange but, the deeper I get in the atheism thinking, the less I believe in any form of afterlife, the more value I give to my own life and the further I get from the idea of comiting suicide.
I went down and I got myself some help to get back up. I hope you do the same.
QuidamOutrepont comments on Jul 1, 2019:
I went into some complicated relationships with some single moms, a bit similar to what you're going through now. Some single moms might be OK.
But with the ones I met, I found it really hard to deal with the hesitation, the delay, the smoke screening. Not as much as with the mom's kids as with the families. You may try to be understanding as much as you can, but it feels like you're stepping on someone else's toes in every step you make.
I found this real tough in the long run. I though I could stand the punches, but then came that one too many blow that sent me down on the floor. I was physically and emotionally down and out. Lost my relationship, lost my job, went into a depression. I was fortunate to have the help of my family and got some serious professional help.
I'm now back on my feet, new job, new girlfriend (with no kids) new life, new town. And it's strange but, the deeper I get in the atheism thinking, the less I believe in any form of afterlife, the more value I give to my own life and the further I get from the idea of comiting suicide.
I went down and I got myself some help to get back up. I hope you do the same.
A "perfect world" is theoretically possible, is it not?

I really don't think you deserve to be treated the way he treated you.
I did a bit of hiking this weekend in the Lower Saint-Lawrence Appalachians with my girlfriend and some friends and I thought about you.
From what I've been reading and seeing about you these last months on this site, speaking in a friendly manner and with all due respect, you truly look to me like one very fine lady, definitely a keeper.
I hope that life offers you as much as I think you have to offer. Hugs and smiles from the other side of this continent.

QuidamOutrepont comments on Jun 25, 2019:
The French version of "O Canada" came out first and back then, it was more intended to be an anthem to the French-Canadian minority than as a Canadian anthem. The first english lyrics were written around 1906. "O Canada" was only adopted as a national anthem by the Canadian parliament in 1967.

Quebecer here. I didn't vote for Prime Minister Legault. He's too far right for me. But as an atheist and a former catholic, I think his new secularism law is mostly a good idea. It's mostly a dress code for some government employees.
The law could have been better. They could have expand the dress code to daycare staff and to private school teachers that are still receive funds from the province. And they could have remove the crucifix above the speaker seat at the provincial legislative assembly hall.
