After the 2023 comms debacle I called on the Liberals to take VIA fixes seriously. The Liberals are still in power and VIA is still the same and I have a very hard time convincing my mom to take the train up from Windsor to see her grand kid.

An octopus doesn't have ears but it can detect low-frequency sounds using organs called statocysts. The brain is also decentralized; in addition to the one in the mantle, each arm has brain-like abilities.
I really don't know what to say.
This actually isn't clickbait.
