But maybe they could abduct Danielle Smith. Silver lining there

And that message is “Don’t ever buy from Ubisoft ever again”

“The woke leftist media hypocrisy at its finest! They cry foul when we second strike to finish them off, then they cry foul when we leave them to drown in the open sea! Next they’ll claim to be environmentalists and in the same breath denounce us for throwing chum in the water to attract sharks to feed!”

Where I’m from the legal infraction is that the right side wheels are more than half a meter from the curb (I learned this from the ticket I got for parking on the wrong side of the street)

Absolutely. A part of me hopes the referendum happens so we can get an overwhelming ‘no’ on the record.

100%. I’m a 3rd generation Albertan and my plan has been to live here the rest of my life. The Alberta separation movement, as far as I see it, is a wild media frenzy pushed on by our fragile premier. Its supported by equally thin-skinned and petulant crybabies with no forward thinking skills, which, again as far as I can tell, is a steep minority.

But if I’m wrong, and this thing gets close to real, I’m gone and my only hope of not being financially ruined by dumping all the equity in my home is that one of these morons doubles down in hopes of knocking down my house to build a mansion for the ‘inevitable flood of wealthy white people’.

This is like saying “they don’t actually have that much oxygen. They’ve got it compressed in massive liquefied tanks. You can’t breathe liquid oxygen, so it doesn’t really count as breathable air. So nevermind that a billionth of the population controls 50% of the oxygen on the planet because the actual gaseous air they breath on the day to day is just an extremely comfortable level of oxygen.”

For rich people, it’s not about using it or making a practical purchase. Its a way to show others how much you care about them (none).

It’s the yacht that counts.

I’ve considered it a good thing to get the “You’re making a mistake” pushback for things like marriage and kids. Because it is hard and you do have to give up and lot of things for it, so you had better be damn sure thats what you want.

You should be able to hear that (from certain types of people) and think “what the hell do they know?”. And if you do think “oh, damn, am I making a mistake?” then you should really fully stop and consider that question.

I think it’s easy for people to fall into the traps of thinking marriage and kids are just the next steps in life and things will get better when you’re married. Marriage doesn’t make anything better.

A lot of people say things like “marriage is great, but its a lot of work”. Those are the people that I’m like “really? Sounds like you maybe did make a mistake there” because (and I’m not expert, I’ve only been married once) it’s really easy being married to my wife.

It took way too long to find this comment. Its those nostalgia goggles.

Remembering being single is like remembering being a kid. For a lot of people, they remember the good times and put the bad times aside, so thats what they’ll talk about.

Wait until you hear about Coca-Cola

And do buried children still have their teeth?

Do you want to go check?

“New study finds ‘Trickle Down Economics’ has not trickled down in any way over the last 30 40 50 years”

Okay, Yoda

Yes, except “hire enough people”. You can’t staff enough to cover 4 out of 8 employees off from a combination of sick, bereavement, and vacation.

It happens. All you can do is prioritize tasks, make it work the best you can with the resources you have, and manage expectations.

If the work can’t be rescheduled, and isn’t worth paying someone OT to cover, well, then, it’s not worth doing.

I think the worst behaved people are those that conspire to use their immense wealth and influence to actively harm people for the sole purpose of consolidating neverending wealth.

But, yeah, guys who at least put some of their money back into the economy by buying luxury status over basic do get my hackles up.

But that’s damning a snake because the devil looks like you.

I bet this works nominally better, but I just heat the pan with oil. I can’t be arsed to wipe screaming hot oil out of a pan only to reintroduce new cold oil and have to contemplate whether it could possibly make a difference and either feeling like an idiot for blindly following such an absurd direction, or like an idiot for not understanding the scientific grounds for which it works.

I bet it will be more like Prime where they display everything they own to tempt you, but there’s an increasing number of additional subscriptions you actually need to access the content.

Have you seen North American public transportation?

Yeah, I have a “choice”, but it’s 60-85 minutes on 3 busses or a 12 minute drive to get to and from work.
