The worst part about the politics here in Canada is that the Liberals always spend years setting up the layup that the Conservatives use to dunk on Canadians. This round is going to feature a whole host of anti-competitive business, bad trade deals, media favouritism, privatization, waves of attacks on worker’s rights… all this and more thanks to the moves set up by the Liberals doing things like refusing to stop the Rogers/Shaw purchase, the failure to make deals with other countries, setting up media and “CanCon” subsidies that favour big media companies, and the intentional attacks on the efficiency and effectiveness of public services.
We are so fucked.

Yeah and you’re getting renovicted so they can split all the bedrooms up and double the occupancy (and rent)

What the polling likely isn’t capturing is how many people will ultimately choose not to vote out of despair, and that was the real threat the whole time.

Trump’s still in control of his (meager) faculties and that’s the issue. They’re going to have to put someone else in against Trump or admit that the past few years have been Weekend at Biden’s

I’m just wondering if I need to call the police or the ambulance
Both? One of these guys is a convicted felon turned robber baron and the other is a retirement home escapee who has lost the light in their eyes.

Sounds like you have an interesting market there. The thrift and used market where I live are dead.

Shit I was around for that and I don’t even remember No Pigeons. Nobody really cared about No Scrubs because culture war wasn’t really a thing and it wasn’t being shoved in men’s faces.
Now you’ve got Tiktok material dropping right into your feed saying you’re a manlet if you aren’t 6’+ and bringing home 250k or more, and you can see thousands of women (real or bots) agreeing with it. That will sour relations a bit.

There are plenty of leftists who aren’t pieces of shit that we could support instead of this clown. I don’t know why people keep giving this guy a platform.

I would also add predatory male feminist, hypocrite, shitlib, pedo.
There really is just no redeeming quality to the guy.
- Comment on Anon gets a job 5 months ago:
I did the self-employed grind, lots of 12 hour days, lots of downtime with no work or money coming in. My wife hates instability to the point she refuses to let me invest our money anywhere (we use a managed mutual fund… ugh). This means it was get stable work or watch her hair fall out from stress, so I took what I thought would be a shit job but turned out to be a decent one.
Get this: after working that job for a bit she says “I’m worried you have no ambition”. No shit I gave up my dream to work a mailroom.

Nothing was superior to the iPhone when it came out. It successfully married multiple types of mobile device into one device. Not even ashamed to admit that while several other devices did the individual things it did better, nothing brought them together like that.
That said, modern smartphones are a bit ridiculous and the idea of spending $1200 every two years on a phone should be revolting to people. iPhone or Samsung, stop fucking doing this sheeple.

Studies done by Amazon and others show that diverse groups of workers are less likely to unionize. Other studies show workplace education on things like unconscious bias and racism actually increase our awareness of the differences between us and not in a good way.
Make of that what you will.

I worked a mailroom job with only about 3-4 hours of actual work a day. I was explicitly told I was free to spend any free time however I liked, so long as I stayed nearby.
I read books, gamed a bit, learned some programming and Linux server stuff… was pretty great actually. I only ever left that job because the offer was for twice as much pay. I often still miss the free time.

How much of that is in your control to diagnose, let alone fix? If the neighbours are out too, that means it’s already out of your hands.
When it comes to “the internet is down”, much of the time it is something within your control, whether or not you know that. It’s not a very good analogy imo.

The difference in cost for 1000ft spools is <$50 CAD, and you get a product you know always works, is less brittle, can do PoE without becoming a fireball, can be used in commercial installation legally, and is actually in spec. I mean a lot of people who are actually running cables already have separate spools for solid and stranded, plenum and riser, maybe even shielded/burial… no need to add CCA to the mix with all of its downsides.

That’s me lol. I’m still sitting on my spool of Cat6 I bought a few years ago. At pre-COVID prices it was approximately (CAD) $1 per termination, and $1 per 6 feet of cable.
Today at Infinite Cables and other Canadian stores I can buy premade lengths at almost those costs, shockingly. Prices really came down.
