I don’t know if I agree with you here. This isn’t as petty as you seem to feel it is. The cultural significance of her impersonation is big and it’s definitely news worthy. News is more than stabbings and explosions.

This whole scandal has blown my Canadian mind more than anything I can remember. She has done an impressive job of bringing attention to First Nations people, and indigenous people in Canada overall, her Piapot family clearly loves and claims her. BUT, she’s also literally a colonizing liar who has benefitted off the struggle of our indigenous people. It turns out she wasn’t an advocate at all but an identity thief. I feel like everything I ever knew was a lie. Next someone’s going to tell me stompin’ Tom kept women chained up in his basement. Frig.

The one factor they always neglect to discuss in this housing crisis is that … well, we are in a housing crisis. That means there is a substantial number of these evictions that are actually valid (granted there are also a lot of shit, scumbag landlords). But we all know someone struggling right now for housing. If you’re a boomer with an extra property, you probably also have a kid, or a nephew/niece or other younger person/family who is struggling with housing, and they need a place to stay, and they want to move in to these properties. This will only get worse as housing becomes less affordable.

I’m not saying this is the only reason, but it certainly contributes to the spike we are seeing in overall applications.

Please god someone post an ai pic of a borg in flannel

5% after 20 years of stagnated wages is still unimpressive if you ask me. And those wages have gone up because workers just won’t work for less. But immigrants will. The government gets their tax dollars.

Obviously it’s more complex but the housing crises, wages, inflation, it’s all connected and relative to each other. We are so screwed

Yes but they don’t find out until they get here and then they’re fucked. If these people knew how high the cost of living here really was compared to potential income they wouldn’t immigrate. So we just keep a bait and switch happening with these poor bastards.

Not to mention that when the government says we need immigration, what they mean is we need uninformed people to come and accept lower wage jobs to keep incomes from rising. We don’t have holes in our employment. We have holes in fair pay employment. So instead of paying someone a fair increase annually, we just don’t, and find someone to fill that spot for cheaper instead.

I think the downfall of legitimate news was inevitable. When CNN went 24 hours there was a lot of “how can they possibly find enough news to fill all that time?” And it was a legitimate question. The answer is that they can’t. So they manufacture things instead- opinion pieces that sound mysteriously like fact news, panels sitting around supposing what something could mean, interpreting events instead of factual explanations. It became a 24 gossipy talk show. And then even regular regional news followed suit. I don’t even bother to watch the news anymore, because it’s not news. It’s a bunch of jabbering assholes just making noises with their faces.

Don’t give me hope that cnn is going to get some of their integrity back.

This makes sense and it’s kind of what I thought has happened. No one could really be that unaware as to write a character reference for someone convicted and not expect backlash. But why wouldn’t they just say that then ? Why not make a statement saying the reference was old, and they’re shocked and disappointed someone they trusted could do such a thing.

That’s what I don’t understand

I’ve given this some thought, because I do seem to get satisfaction out of completing tasks, but no motivation to start them in order to get the finishing satisfaction. Or giving up half way through a task when I’ve lost interest. On the other hand, avoidance leads to adrenaline, and that gets me moving. I think that’s where the neuro compensation lies. Not the lack of satisfaction that the task is complete (although mostly I just feel relief not satisfaction), it’s the adrenaline replacing the dopamine.

You know that it’s baking soda right ? A totally normal thing everyone has in their house. But too much of anything can be toxic. This in particular.

Well the Catholic Church didn’t have a lot to say about the nazis when all that shit was going down in the first place. And their record about other atrocities, particularly in Canada, is not great either. So maybe this lady should have just kept her fucking mouth shut. I hope they fire her.

Did you read the rest or did you stop there ? The lady repeatedly trespassed, was warned by the police she was trespassing and reduced healthy 15ft trees to 5 feet tall by repeatedly cutting them with a chainsaw.

Imagine you’re renting a place and your psycho neighbour keeps hacking your trees with a chainsaw.

Company owned or individually owned, that has nothing to do with it.

Good point.

I’m so torn. On the one hand this guy is a massive piece of shit and he deserves to be publicly ridiculed and shamed. On the other hand, getting old is scary as fuck and I feel some way about mocking someone about a clear neurological issue.

This whole thing just gives me the ick.

No, I make joke.

I learned this not too long ago, that too much can legit kill you. I saw a post on that other stupid site about a dude who stopped his girlfriend from doing some tik tok challenge about it.

He likely knows it’s because his bribe cheque already cleared.

Please don’t send us leaves. We have so many leaves.

I think that’s the ticket. You must say vigilant at all times, even when sleeping.
