  The excuse is usually that whatever thing is too important for our economy, as with freight train conductors. But all that says is that the most important people also have the least labour protections and that’s fucked up.

  I really don’t know why the government is so involved with Air Canada, and they can go fuck themselves here ‘cause it ain’t their business. You can still fly domestically in Canada, it just costs a lot more because suddenly demand is the same and supply is massively down.

  Bro goes to the Misty Mountains ONE TIME and suddenly he’s from BC telling everyone “that’s not a real mountain” like get off your shit, Bilbo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not loneliness, it’s rugged individualism! It’s not anti-union/anti-community propaganda to keep the masses weak; I mean have you seen union dues?! /s

  But don’t worry, those same people who say shit like that are so desperate for community that they’ll never leave their hometown except for when their local far-right militia chapter goes out to harrass a protest or attack their country’s government for having a fair election.

  The older one or the weird newer one that looked like the affordable sedan of supercars?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Charging to tour rental properties...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is 100% worse, though. Both should come with being shot in the street as punishment but at least application fees is paying for something you want and not paying to see if you even want it at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But what about yet another bright light in someone’s face? Do you not want another bright light in someone’s face? Everyone loves bright lights in someone’s face!

  You could flip the image but the thing about a spiral is that it’s the same no matter you turn it around in space.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They're completely serious⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They don’t have eight arms. If anything, they have eight crazy toes and one foot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐎 = 🪲⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐎 = 🪲⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Almost all” means that if you pull six-legged animals names outnof a hat you’re nearly guaranteed to find an insect. Doesn’t mean you can’t pull the non-insect first try, and doesn’t mean that centaurs must be insects.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hubris go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. They’re basically just wallets that burn slightly less money than they make and it’s all randomized because they have no real skill to direct any of it.

  And then they take home millions while the people they paid make rapidly less and less money the further down the chain you go. AI is just their way to make sure they don’t even need to really pay anyone else at all and to be able to convince people that they had an idea for the first time ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hubris go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Executives and venture capitalists are among the dumbest among us. They have the kind of money that even failure can’t seem to erase fast enough and they’re basically just lottery winners that think they did all the hardwork themselves. Not really surprising that they think they have any useful skills or the ability to understand stuff way outside of their incredibly limited “skillset”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I asked for no sauce and got these instead⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We really do need a “don’t hand shit out that people don’t ask for” law in the world in general. It’s such a waste for everyone involved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" to end in May 2026⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Paramount needs Trump admin approval to merge with Skydance and they already had an issue with Trump being a huge bitch over being shown to be the turd he is on the network. Colbert is an outspoken critic of Trump, so despite the show being the best performing late night show on air they’re gunna axe it try to help the merger go through.

  Free speech is dead and, unsurprisingly, conservatives killed it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deserved? Poll inside⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  She was leaving so that would have been a not great idea. Otherwise yea, full send all the way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deserved? Poll inside⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It wasn’t flirting, but this ADHD positive girl I was crushing on(and was crushing on me) once absentmindedly stuck the tip of her finger in a full glass of water in front of her to ask whose it was and I had to desperately fight falling in love right then and there.

  Now, that was an accident born of silly brain vs purposefully fucking with someone’s food so I understand the difference, but I really like my story so…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can a Russian pls confirm⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t a single idiom for “mind your own business”? Wild, but ok.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨please don't tell my boss I've been posting memes on the clock⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I had so much extra time at one job back in 2019/2020 that I asked for more work and they wouldn’t give it to me. Coulda done 4-6hr days and been happier but instead I had to sit in my little office watching Youtube and going on Reddit. Thank god they did give me an office because I might have died of boredom otherwise having to put on the facade of being busy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨please don't tell my boss I've been posting memes on the clock⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you can meme AND get your work done I mean who gives a shit what they say.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon describes experience⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, or “the first twenty are free but the remaining five you don’t have to give are a problem”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It was always happening in the States, just less so or people didn’t care whether or not the history of slaves or whatever was real or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon loves The Lord of the Rings⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The real question is what is Larian’s equivalent to Peter Jackson’s “Meet the Feebles”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally paid off my Costco hotdog 🙏⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have this shirt in white and I love it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A secret, never-mentioned fact is that the people who voted for Zohran are also taxpayers.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oddly enough, when it comes to less dense suburbs with richer people in them, the cost to the city is always more than those people pay in taxes. They pay more but they’re actually using poorer people’s taxes to pay for their shitty “neighbourhoods”, in quotes because the word implies a level of community they could only dream of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨no way right⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The issue I’m having is that yours is a country which sees the far right as something that will always exist with such power. I know the mechanics of it all, what I’m routinely shocked by is the back that the bar is on the floor and the country as a whole just cannot seem to get over it. The Democrats should not be the best you really have to offer, they should be your right-wing party and they should struggle but instead the USA handed a dictator the popular vote and a third of the place didn’t even participate either way.

  It isn’t the existence of good people, it’s the complete domination by evil, or even just apathetic, people. I’m genuinely sorry that you’re suffering but, especially as a Canadian, it does not change my opinion about the landfill inferno that is the USA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨no way right⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel less and less sad for people in the USA as time goes on because of exactly what you say. How did they not see it coming? HOOOOOW? And how did a third push for it, a third sorta try to help, and the other third maybe or maybe not just still doesn’t even know what’s happening?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Sad thing to be, nonsensical thing to want to be" 💔🥀💔🥀⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If we’re were forcefully taken to another country and then had children at some point I would talk to them about the people left behind and where I came from.

  That’s not how that works, especially when their cultures were specifically purged by the slavers. Your comment reads like the equivalent of saying “I would have just roundhouse kicked the gun away and saved the day” as if it’s the slaves’ fault for not giving their kids rich lessons on their history. It’s amazing that even some of it survived at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon pitches a new game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And honestly, they’re right. Games are fundamentally optional and there are so many to choose from but these garbage studios make garbage games and openly degrade their customers but people keep paying them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely a little awkward for a bit. But you got a big friendly hello and that’s a win, yea?

  Was just thinking maybe her friend said or offered to say and she went “why the fuck should I care?”. Everything is equally possible, take ‘er easy and remember that you’ve got this no matter how it’s sliced :)
