It could be. To me it doesn't feel like there is a difference in the cadence of my breathing, after I put the mask on. I simply have less oxygen coming in. I probably should be breathing more deeply, all the time! Then perhaps the mask

There is no way that you are not having your intake of air restricted by putting a piece of cloth or fabric over your face. For the average person it probably doesn't make a difference in the way their body or mind works. But small cha

I do not want to seek to diminish your very real belief that my issues are not real. But they are. My panic attacks in public started when I had to wear masks. When I am anxious or stressed, my breathing shallows. When this happens and I am

For people like me, it's either this option or an exemption. No longer will I put other people's health above my own. Triple vaxxed and willing to get as many as I need. But feeling like I'm suffocating is no longer an option

just bought one too! thank you

How about if you have anxiety issues and the reduced inflow of air from masks gives you panic attacks? This has been my life for this pandemic. I take medication but it does not stop them 100% from happening, and I have to use anti-anxiety

Manitoba has some of the highest cig prices in the world. I think the cheapest packs of smokes you can get is around $16? (i don't smoke but some friends do)

is there anywhere in the world where smokers don't behave like this? It's certainly the case in Canada

my grandfather used to drive to another town half an hour away, because toilet paper was one or two dollars cheaper. No one could ever convince him that he paid more in gas than he ever saved. But he always had a small room full of toilet p

oh i loved that site. The forum was one of my favourite parts of the old internet. Still remember a lot of the popular phrases that used to go around.

Ironically, probably the most "too smart for the truth" type person I know is both a massive Neil Young AND Rogan fan.

Yeah, I was speaking about a hypothetical future where the vast majority of people are priced out of the market for homes by unethical profit-seeking behaviour. I'm sure it will never come to that.../s

makes one wonder if there won't be a spate of "domaterrorism," where radical working-class folk start burning down the homes of the wealthy...(in particular, the unoccupied investment homes)

Well, they did educate people, alcoholism was a huge problem in the US at the time and men who became alcoholics often abused their families and could not provide for them, leaving them destitute. AFAIK, these issues did change for the bett

The answer to your question is in your statement. Most communities don't have "many reasons" to favour prohibition, in fact most communities don't even have one. Yes there's the idea that no alcohol = no alcohol-cau

Probably it's an issue more with older people who remember when this kind of thing was unheard of. In the modern day people are online all the time anyways, it doesn't make a big practical difference, which makes the ethical issue

Give people more credit, they will play what they're offered, it's not their fault they're offered crap.

As a fellow longtime Blizzard fan and someone who retired from gaming (in part due to being too old for this shit), Don't get your hopes up :)

That's a good point. The Gamecube was definitely underwhelming in it's library of games and frustrated a lot of consumers. I think the point I'm trying to make is that it was basically inevitable that there would be a new maj

IMO, and dismiss this as just gut feeling if you want, but it was just a matter of time before there was a 3rd big player. Console gaming was getting too big, too fast for there to be just 2 options for the market. Someone was going to come

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming the consumer. I'm just saying that AAA studios have "the market" figured out. They know how to, forgive the use of the phrase, "game the system," to make profit at th

Like I said, there will always be innovative indie games. But the AAA studios used to be important in driving artistic and systemic innovation in games, because they had the most money and visibility. Games like: Elite 2: Frontier, Star Con

Not really. It was clear that there was space for another large player in the console market. Sega was done or dying, Sony and Nintendo couldn't keep the entire playerbases to themselves (and PC and Mac are barely worth mentioning im s

The success of Red Dead Redemption, and Rockstar in general, is proof that you gamers will appreciate more substantial than sports games (which barely update between editions, and sometimes actually have LESS content than previous editions)

>Player expectations of a modern title are increasing Unfortunately this is not true. Modern AAA franchises do not innovate. They are just shinier. You can find the same systems, and often more complex or creative ones, in games from the
