I’m just here to tell you that anybody that says to talk to a lawyer is a jackass and is talking out their ass.
You do not deal with these matters in regular civil court, these are handled directly through whatever tenany board is in your region. Start by contacting them and ignore all the other nonsense about contacting attorneys, it’s a waste of time because all the attorney will tell you to do is to contact the tenancy board.
- Comment on What actually came first? The chicken or the egg? 1 week ago:
This conversation has been swirling since forever, and the answer is that both came first
It really comes down to the fact that we have arbitrary scientific conventions, and we have to slot everything into its little hole
It is impossible to make the determination, outside of the human perspective, which came first

I don’t think I’m being hard on myself, I think I’m being hard on the general population of Canada. Most people here are just what I said, overprivileged shit pieces

I would like to correct the gut-brain connection. 95% of the time our gut tells our brain that it wants something, and it’s trying to say it wants water, but the brain hears that the gut is hungry.
- Comment on What are some countries you’ve visited that shocked you with unexpected friendliness? 1 week ago:
As a Canadian, I can declaratively say that our reputation for being polite is bogus. As a whole, we are a shitty, privileged, nasty group of people. Our country is built on colonialism and genocide, so you can only imagine what a shit pot this is.

People love to make exaggerated statements on the internet for attention but I can say very truly that the spirit of the people changed me inside and it helped start my sobriety journey

I really don’t know what you’re looking for here. I mean what do you want us to say It’s a speed??
I guess if I can add something meaningful, it’s so fast that no human can ever respond to an unexpected situation or hazard in time and you’re dead. Don’t ever go that speed for any reason.

I’m not sure why you feel the need to make such a statement and try to be rude to me when I have meticulously explained, to anybody who with an intelligent mind, specifically why I don’t want to talk about this but you need to push
So how about this, I’ll save the bother and just block you :)
You are literally the type of person that I want to avoid in these kind of conversations, that’s why I go at it things the way I do, but you’re too emotionally confused to get it
Look in the mirror, and realize you haven’t added a single thing here
Bye-bye blocked

Bro that’s just one incident in three decades of madness
I’m not lying when I tell you I was at the top top bro
I changed the world with my technology
And when you know what’s what, you are sick to your stomach
- Comment on The Video Game Industry Failed Monolith Productions. 2 weeks ago:
Truthfully, no. I was a really top level fucker in the industry and let me tell you man… It’s a vicious game, and even thinking about things that happened 30 years ago are causing my hairs to stand on end right now even though I’m sitting with a nice warm espresso in a sunbeam smoking a joint.
I’m going to copy and paste from a previous answer. Please do me the courtesy of not asking any questions about my history in the game industry, because I will go off like a f’king neutron bomb. It will be real but it will be ugly. I mean ask if you want, but you’ll get the fuck beaten out of you and you won’t like it and it’ll explode things that you thought were real and they aren’t.
“They were contracted to design the (edit: low-level coin op hardware, etc) API for our new Internet-enabled touchscreen gaming network kiosks (world first at the time) and they were fucking useless. And then had the gall to present the piece of shit at the CGDG 1997, as a half-finished completely non-functional, but presented it like it was their own product and not a massive NDA violation. Presented like their own product which could be generically extended to other platforms. Fuck you Matt. Fuck you Monolith you fucking cunts.”

I will always appear to tell Monolith to go fuck themselves, and dance on their graves.
Fuck you Matt, fuck you Monolith. You fucked our company over, stole our technology, presented it at the game developer conference like it was yours - dealing with you Matt was the worst two fucking years of my life you big sack of hihly-incomprtant bloated shit.

I was given a smart watch yesterday
I wore it for 20 minutes and immediately gave it to a crack addict
All the fking doodads that exist nowadays are just trash - I literally cannot comprehend why anybody wants them in their life! They do not really seem to add anything, they’re just a meaningless trifling distraction and another shiny toy that ends up in the trash heap, as far as I can see

I truly feel sorry for anybody that is in the not sweet spot I guess the sour spot of not being able to select the vehicle of their choice due to economic factors, and being forced to buy one of these used pieces of shit that is replete with garbage technology that does not serve the user in any meaningful way. Oh my God, I’ve never one from that generation and I never will, and I consider myself blessed. Just operating a microwave nowadays is torture, give me a fucking chunky button and let me press the fucking thing.

- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 2 weeks ago:
You don’t have a point. You’re in a psychological spin out because you’re wrong. Blocked
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 2 weeks ago:
That can be done but the voltage that it receives is variable so that’s causing damage. Which ripples down the chain, it’s not avoidable no matter how much you put in capacitors and diodes
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 2 weeks ago:
That’s not a counterpoint, you’re just describing that you had a battery that was okay for 4 years
It doesn’t say anything really I’m sorry friend
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 2 weeks ago:
I know people love these and I’m not going to go and break anyone’s balls but the reality is, because it is inductive charging you will never get clean voltage
Anything electronic, it really doesn’t matter what it is, is going to suffer basically the equivalent of “mechanical damage” when powered/charged with unstable current
An inductive charging is always going to be highly unstable, there’s no way around that
Anybody who tries to tell you different just doesn’t understand that this is a real thing, and yeah, really nobody should ever use wireless charging unless they’re willing to accept continual device (battery) damage
- Comment on Why don’t brands make simpler names? 2 weeks ago:
As an electronics hobbyist and frugal person … you can just literally add CA to any model number and you’ll get the Canadian version. That’s just one thing I’m aware of but I’m sure there’s other ways and I’d love to know
- Comment on They don't make the parts I'm missing anymore. 2 weeks ago:
I had to laugh at this. I do a lot of hobby electronics repair and yeah, these pieces of dog shit are all over our local “collector” “vintage” and “retro” boards. Yeah imma give you $80 for your Sears cardboard box that’s also water stained, and even when it was new had incorrect and also non-adjustable platter speed /s
- Comment on Why can’t HVAC be made smarter? 3 weeks ago:
Truly It’s not my line of work so I’m not going to start randomly recommending products, I don’t think it’s fair to talk out my ass hahaha
What I can say however, is the reason I was so bold in my assertion previously, was that I personally do a lot of hobbyist electronics, and wiring up temperature sensors is very simple. It’s very much a trivial aspect to basic circuitry, because heat is such an aspect. It’s in your most basic things from coffee pots to hair dryers but even down to smaller electronics, bulbs and projectors, everything really in its own way.
And then my father was a highly trained meteorologist with the government of Canada for 43 years and then another 10 of consultancy, they scouted him because he was the 100% in all courses math superstar at his university for his year.
My father taught me a lot about how heat is measured and it’s a huge concern in a way that the average weather watcher doesn’t understand. It’s talked about in Watts per Square Meter. So that could be how much heat a structure may absorb per square meter, or perhaps how much heat is dissipated per second in a certain wind.
That’s a major and primary concern of anyone in the agriculture industry, think for example a farmer that holds a barn full of cattle, he absolutely needs to know how much heat that building’s going to dissipate so he can plan for heating.
But it doesn’t end there, it goes into so many different areas where heat is an issue, and weather is the primary driver of heat transfer.
So I guess in summary, a solution is trivial, I’m not sure if there’s an official product, but we’re not talking rocket science!
- Comment on Why can’t HVAC be made smarter? 3 weeks ago:
You don’t need to go to that level of complication.
Two sensors in combination, one that detects current heat input one that detects absorbed heat. These modules would be placed about the outer walls.
Then calculate how much heat is going to radiate into the building the rest of the day.
And it can compensate.
We don’t need to be more than a fraction of a degree off and a system like that would be amply accurate.
- Comment on Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! 3 weeks ago:
I have to say for me, I know this won’t be everybody, my favorites are going to be the ones that change the way I felt about gaming, not necessarily ones that I would want to play again.
In fact, I have found that going back to some of the seminal games, or the ones that were most impactful to me, hurt my feelings because they were from a time… Where let’s be real, technical limitations made a lot of very basic quality of life things nearly unavailable.
I think the 1st that changed the way I felt about gaming was Ultima 4 - they had flushed out the systems of the earlier three, which were pretty primitive, and made morality, all kinds of wonderful internal game systems, relationships, secrets, optional paths, total exploration. 5 and 6 were games that I explored and played molecularly because they were just a joy for me as well.
Another one I talk about a lot is a game called Squares Deluxe which the developer thankfully changed as freeware a few years ago. So anybody with DOSBox can download it and play it legally, and in my view, it’s the best shape packing game ever made - there are so many amazing mechanics, and if you play Extreme mode and get a great run going, it can be the most thrilling experience!
How can I forget the very first game I played in arcades which was Atari Warlords at Fiesta Foods! I was bedazzled by the cabinet and I had to have a teenager explain to me what it was! I went flying home and explained what I saw to my mother and she was incredulous, and she took me back to play!
Runestone Keeper. I know that really if you distill it down, you’re kind of playing a probability-based card / slot machine game. But play your choice is broad, and I love the fact that the entire playfield changes with every move potentially. Yes you can get screwed over, yes you can have amazing runs, but it’s that unpredictability that keeps me salivating. I can’t actually recommend anybody play this outside of steam version because the app one keeps changing - I’ve bought it a few times and I keep losing my license/progress when they change publisher agreements, to hell with that noise!
- Comment on Between Linux or Windows which do you think will be first to have a viable OS for quantum computers? 4 weeks ago:
Hey I mean it’s fun to make snappy comments, but it’s a joke. There is no merit to the underlying principles in quantum mechanics, it’s a giant shell game, and it’s all about investments and the PhD machine. It’s all phony, take it from somebody who did 30 years of game development and comp sci. It’s fucking nonsense.
- Comment on I wonder if the "money can't buy you happiness" people ever lived in a car. 4 weeks ago:
I just want to talk.
I made it big. Huge. Motherfucking huge. I bought and paid off my house in 2 years, was taking 5 major trips a year, had all the bullshit.
Wasn’t ever a materialist and was frugal, not cheap. Tried to take the lessons of my grandfather who grew up in the depression with literally nothing, and where he taught me over many years that everything is priceless and worthless at the same time. He was 1000x the father to me than my booze-bag sperm-donator male called my “dad”.
That piece of wire on the ground might save your life. It might just be another piece of shit. One day you go and buy some wire for $11 because you need it, other times you walk past $11 of free wire laying there because you have no immediate need or want for it. I was too spoiled and precious to get it. I want my meat packaged on a Styrofoam tray and there needs to be cartoons on things. No you shouldn’t make me a home made metal detector out of a broken FM radio, lacquered wire and a 9V battery because then I won’t be cool.
Through my life and path, I discovered no matter how much material stuff, no matter how lovely the accouterments of my life, no matter how many “freedoms” and experiences I had stemming from my financial wherewithal, there was an underlying thing at the core, the kernel of my being, that had been neglected my whole life. For I was never taught to see it and know it. I hated myself and hated my life and refused to look through the telescope to see that.
I didn’t really find any of this out until I had a humiliation that provoked the beginning of my thoughts of personal transformation. I later heard Miles’ Kind of Blue for the first time, by myself, in a separate bed from my pill-popping wine-guzzling wife, wearing Bluetooth headphones. I had smoked a grain of cannabis, my first return to it in about 20 years. Something touched me and I cried. One photon of light hit me somewhere and I couldn’t unsee it.
I later arrested my rage-drinking, or demon-drinking as I sometimes say. When the magical fairy wand didn’t dispense the fairy dust on my life and render everything into utopia, I intuited my power-drinking was a mere behavior and really had effectively nothing to do with the underlying issue. Or perhaps it did in the same sense that water in a boat isn’t the issue, it’s the rotted holes and splits in the hull.
I aimed myself at discovery and self-transformation and opened myself to anything from which I could take something useful and apply it to my own perspective. After getting into 5 years of heavy therapy which I pursued with vigor, something happened. I connected to that thing that I didn’t know existed.
My life exploded, I effectively went insane, but not insane enough to lose sight of that photon. I lost everything because I was not able to care for myself. I ballooned to 135kg.
I had $280,000 in my chequing account at one point, 100K of random investments, and I was living in my car and eating at shelter. I was fucked.
Anyhow.
Now my shit is together. I have 1BR apartment and I will never ask or take more. I refuse. I pull things out of dumpsters, clean them, use what I can and give away the rest. I repair electronics and sell them to survive in part. My community is Harkness Station, a bus shelter in the freezing cold snowbank called Winnipeg, where people live - many suffering addiction and abandoned by humanity. These are my friends and I bring them home-cooked food, water, tea, sugar-laden 3am coffee, hygiene, relief of all sorts. My friend Alex who did 4 years hard time for an armed-robbery he set-up, spoke to me about getting sober 2 days ago. He’s heard my story but I’ve never heard those words on his lips before.
Hear what I’m saying please.
I got an inheritance from my sperm-donors estate and gave it away. There were more than 5 zeroes on it.
I am moving to Zen. All of the problems in my life are my own creation.
My grandfather gave me something priceless. My new community at Harkness showed me you can live with nothing.
We put all of this together and I can say with confidence I’ll live in a car (which I don’t have anymore because I gave it away), eat at the “missions” and be happy as a motherfucker. Whatever bro. I’m happy inside, I can care for me, and I need nothing but basic elements of mechanical survival.
