Gotta wonder where all that money is coming from, and what they want in return.

So courts will dismiss criminal cases where the person charged can’t obtain legal representation, right?

Or will they just go directly to prison?

Alberta: Winning the race to the bottom every day!

Yeah, because students… THEY’RE the ones with all the money.

Yup, first thought was, “Then I guess you’d better pay the mechanics what they’re asking for, fuckers.”

I would like like to see PP’s bullshit called out on a regular basis. He railed against the proposed capital gains tax, but it doesn’t appear that anyone pointed out the huge conflict of interest he has – his personal wealth has (apparently) been built on real estate investing / exploitation.

I like her more than both, but her public speaking savvy is… well… it needs a lot of work.

I’d be willing to accept that over what the other two idiots are offering.

Doesn’t he own a dozen investment properties, and that’s how he explains his dramatic increase in wealth over the course of his years in parliament?

It’s called Lupron, it’s a hormone blocker. It’s used for chemical castration of pedophiles, and to put women into menopause.

The side effects make it… A bigger burden than whacking off into a sock.

Having said that…

Ask yourself why it is that you can’t be happy. And while money isn’t the secret to happiness, the lack of it can be pretty fucking depressing.

No, it’s an actual fucking cult…

Just be happy you don’t know… because it’s undoubtedly dumb shit, and move along. :)

Why the fuck can’t we let millionaires and billionaires take a hit now and then?

First, if you have more than one disk, you should be either getting redundancy through mirroring, or building arrays of several disks with redundant methods like RAID5 / RAID6 / ZFS zraid2.

Second, no single copy of data is safe, you must always have recent, tested backups.

Story time…

On the way home from work I stepped off a bus and turned in the direction of home. A young woman who was a few steps ahead of me was being verbally harassed with overtly sexual language by a man. I stepped between them, facing the dude, and told him to fuck off and walk away. Some words were exchanged, and eventually he turned around and walked away. I watch him for a minute or two, then turned around and walked home. The woman he was harassing was long gone.

When I got home and relayed this story to my girlfriend, she said this sort of interaction was COMMON. She’d never mentioned it in the nearly 10 years we’d been dating. It was normal to her. My response was “What the actual fuck? That’s bullshit.” But it was her reality, and the reality of the woman I saw, and probably dozens or hundreds more, every day.

We collectively need to do better. We need to stop doing it ourselves, and stop our friends, family, co-workers, acquaintances, and even strangers from doing it. We need to raise the average and be better.

Many started because forest fires can survive winter by burning slowly underground through root systems. Combined with the lack of snowpack this year, the melting snow didn’t extinguish them – leading to a record number of fires earlier than ever recorded before.

A perfect time to #AxeTheTax, right?

Nah, I want PP to own his stupid fucking slogan.

Free advice: Order a case of furnace filters, replace them frequently to keep your indoor air quality relatively high.

I’m adding #AxeTheTax to all the natural disaster posts I can find. :)

Only when people start to associate increasingly destructive ‘natural’ disasters with emissions, will they understand that carbon taxes are a big part of the solution.

You’ve got 25 downvotes. Take the hint: Your ‘hot take’ is crap, and you should work on getting better.

All men have had shitty things happen to them. All of us have been treated unfairly. How we pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off matters.

Yup, bought a townhouse, and paid a premium because the finishes were very nice, and everything looked good, even passed a pre-purchase inspection by someone with a lot of industry experience.

The tub leaked three times and ruined the ceiling in the dining room each time. The shower wasn’t properly waterproofed, so that was a $35k rip-repair-replace. None of the furnaces had proper condensation drains, so my upstairs neighbour’s A/C unit dripped condensation into my hallway for 4 days while we were on vacation, ruining the walls, causing mould. Our unit’s A/C was mismatched - the outside unit didn’t match the inside unit, and for 4 years we were constantly repairing it, until I spent $12k to replace it. There was a bunch of other small shit, but if I ever lay eyes on the builder, I’ll punch him in the face.

The real problem is that all alerts are sent at the highest priority ‘presidential alert’ or ‘disaster warning’. Missing persons / Amber alerts should obey volume settings and do-no-disturb, but we don’t appear to have the technology to do that.

There was an incident in Ontario where an elderly grandparent was missing for 12 hours – so they sent the alert to a 1200km radius… at 2am. Then again a few minutes later. Then again 30 minutes later. Then again at 3am, then again at 4am. The OPP woke up several million people, several times, for an entire night. The result? A police officer saw them on Lakeshore Blvd. in Toronto, less than 60km from their home. There was zero benefit to waking up every household with a cell phone across most of the province – and I’m willing to bet there was a HUGE increase in traffic accidents the next day (because losing just ONE hour of sleep to daylight savings time has this effect).

You’re right to be mad, but you’re fixing it the wrong way.
