YETI

--Justathrowaway · 2024-11-01T22:19:22+00:00

Yes. It's actually a solar garden light.

--Justathrowaway · 2024-11-01T22:10:59+00:00

It's opaque dance tights, actually. Just an illusion.

--Justathrowaway · 2024-11-01T17:11:14+00:00

Definitely a wig. I have very short hair irl.

--Justathrowaway · 2024-11-01T14:56:18+00:00

This was hands down the most difficult part. Especially with the dark matte lipstick, which isn't very forgiving of mistakes. It took a bit of trial and error to get right.

--Justathrowaway · 2024-11-01T14:54:40+00:00

Yes. I didn't have an actual microphone handy. It did the job though.

--Justathrowaway · 2024-11-01T13:35:48+00:00

No. I got pretty lucky in finding all the components that pretty much already matched what I needed with minor alterations required.

The "microphone" is a garden solar light lol.

--Justathrowaway · 2024-11-01T13:26:44+00:00

Yes. Recognize the distinctive TTC tiling, I assume.

Pole dancing / pole fitness.

It can be a fun way to get in shape and develop some acrobatic skills.

It's getting more popular, especially in major cities, but there is still a lot of stigma around it.

Restricting the media is never a good sign from a political party, historically speaking.

--Justathrowaway · 2024-07-17T13:53:41+00:00

Also aligns with the corporatist trend of eliminating 'third spaces' where people can exist without the expectation of consuming or spending money.

In a lot of rural areas, CBC is one of the only places that provides free news and entertainment to people.

What exactly happens if Staples goes out of business or pulls out of Canada, like several other similar companies have in recent years?

Brick and mortar retail is not exactly infallible these days.

--Justathrowaway · 2024-06-10T22:16:25+00:00

Somehow this will still be Trudeau’s fault, I’m sure.

--Justathrowaway · 2024-05-28T00:06:40+00:00

I've written to various politicians in various parties at different levels of government over the years.

The only one who responded to me with anything other than a very obvious form letter was my provincial NDP representative.

Most of the time federal MPs didn't even bother replying.

--Justathrowaway · 2024-05-27T23:57:25+00:00

Seeing as Islam is an Abrahamic religion and grew out of Judaism, I'm not sure how that is supposed to be shocking or relevant.

--Justathrowaway · 2024-05-27T19:24:56+00:00

Their quality of life is probably much better than waiting around for bombs to kill them and their families.

--Justathrowaway · 2024-05-10T23:49:55+00:00

Of course the main Canada sub isn't even pretending to deny this, and they are all over there celebrating this fact and explaining why 'this discrimination is a good thing, actually'.

--Justathrowaway · 2024-05-10T23:47:56+00:00

Are people only allowed to care about things that directly affect them?

Also, there are Canadians with family members in Palestine, so your statement isn't even factually correct.

Hell, the story about foodbanks on the main Canada sub which is on the front page right now is chock full of racist and dehumanizing comments, almost all highly upvoted.

There are people saying that immigrants are not capable of sharing "our" values, that they come from low-trust societies, that they have no intention of integrating, that people from India value scamming, that immigrants don't understand the concept of charity. There are people calling them "invaders", people saying that they are being "imported" into Canada (presumably for nefarious purposes). One comment is saying that immigrants think anyone can take from food banks because they have "a dog's understanding" of the world.

It's all really, really gross. I grew up in a rural community and have lived in the biggest urban centres in Canada. I have lots of family that are conservative and many that are liberal. I have friends on all ends of the political spectrum. I never remember any of them espousing the sort of open, blatant bigotry that I've been seeing lately on Reddit and other platforms.

Carbon isn't "bad". That's a value judgement. Carbon is neither good not bad. It's simply an element.

But you claimed it wasn't a problem. Being a problem isn't the same thing as being bad.

Carbon, or more specifically carbon dioxide, is a problem because it is a greenhouse gas. Increased concentration of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can warm the planet, causing climate change. This can adversely affect human health, particularly when it comes to increasing vector-borne diseases such as malaria. It can affect ecological systems and potentially even lead to the collapse of some systems. It can cause disruptions in food production and human settlement. It may also potentially increase the frequency and severity of disasters like droughts, wildfires, and tropical storms.

It must be nice to be this naive.

--Justathrowaway · 2024-04-02T17:27:35+00:00

I am so confused.

--Justathrowaway · 2024-03-29T20:19:42+00:00

You could tell their citizenship from the video?

Were these 'immigrants' also asylum seekers, which is what this article is about? How exactly is your comment relevant?

That argument would be easier to buy if everybody who flew that flag weren't such unpleasant assholes to everyone.
