What happened with that change to signage laws that was going to require tens of millions of dollars to update eg “Canadian Tire” to “Magasin Canadian Tire” and whatnot?

- Comment on What is a metaphor you like in your language? 2 months ago:
There’s an expression in French, “enculage de mouches”. Literally means “fucking flies in the ass” and, figuratively, refers to being impossibly pedantic and nitpicky. Closest equivalent in English would be “splitting hairs” I think

It’s also kind of a fringe theory.

The attribution of the poisoning to the CIA in Albarelli’s book has been roundly criticized. Historian Steven Kaplan, author of an earlier book about the events, said that this would be “clinically incoherent: LSD takes effects in just a few hours, whereas the inhabitants showed symptoms only after 36 hours or more. Furthermore, LSD does not cause the digestive ailments or the vegetative effects described by the townspeople.”
To be clear: I have no reason to believe that the CIA circa 1951 wouldn’t or couldn’t pull this kind of stunt, just that the evidence that they in fact did is pretty shaky.

Reminds me of this dialogue from Ghost World
Enid : You know, we need to find a place where you can go to meet women who share your interests. Seymour : Well maybe I don’t want to meet someone who shares my interests. I hate my interests.
