Re: The hell is a "Freedom Convoy" and why is it harassing Ottawa?

The fine is a measure to pay for overwhelmed hospitals by unvaccinated people. That aspect really does make sense (to me at least) and gets to the middle of what this whole thing has been about. Like if you want society to be open and want to disregard measures to curtail the virus on general parti...

Re: The hell is a "Freedom Convoy" and why is it harassing Ottawa?

Several Euro countries too, not just Quebec. The WHO itself has "cautioned against it", saying it should be an absolute last resort, and cited public distrust and opposition as a main reason against mandates - and France so far is following that advice, but Austria, Italy and Greece are not and stil...

Re: The hell is a "Freedom Convoy" and why is it harassing Ottawa?

however this is individual freedom stuff, being told to get vaccinated or pay a fine No, it's "get vaccinated or you can't cross the border". -- Regardless, the protest has transmogrified into "we won't leave until all the restrictions are removed". Well that's what these newest "mandates" and the ...

Re: The hell is a "Freedom Convoy" and why is it harassing Ottawa?

I think they were promising "no mandates" even as late as last summer. In August, it was announced that continued employment in the federal civil service would be conditioned on being vaccinated. Vaccine passports were announced in September. This is how it is until Covid becomes endemic. Workplace...

Re: What is the general term for "similarity between (elements of) 2 works"?

Narrative parallel? I think that they were more approaching a term involving affect over narrative. I like parallel though, thus I would go with paralleled nuance :D Eh, default word for *all* types of resemblances, narrative as well - just to clarify lol. But yeah, seems like it doesn't exist thou...

Re: Looking for a Pastebin alternative with sufficient formatting options (best with BBCode, preferably not Markdown)?

Onedrive and Notepad++? Notepad++ seems to be just an app for the computer though, right? Or is there an online version (with accounts and all) as well? Yeah, but it does all kinds of code highlighting. There are even portable versions for use on USB. With this particular project (video essay trans...

Re: The hell is a "Freedom Convoy" and why is it harassing Ottawa?

Not a year ago, (as far as I'm aware) all the politicians were saying no no, no way there's gonna be mandates - so has the situation worsened now, or is this simply treason then? About two years ago, I sat in my cubicle looking at all this panic about a new disease thinking smugly that it would blo...

Not a year ago, (as far as I'm aware) all the politicians were saying no no, no way there's gonna be mandates - so has the situation worsened now, or is this simply treason then? Or have they simply just found enough citizens supporting the idea of mandates - and which political wing are those citiz...

Onedrive and Notepad++? Notepad++ seems to be just an app for the computer though, right? Or is there an online version (with accounts and all) as well?

Re: Looking for a Pastebin alternative with sufficient formatting options (best with BBCode, preferably not Markdown)?

I'd recommend Gist, but AFAIK there's no BBCode support. If you're set on requiring BBCode I'm afraid you're going to find your options limited. Markdown is generally lighter-weight and simpler, but since it sounds like you're pasting pre-existing text that's not really useful. So noob problem here...
