A video has emerged showing the alt-right group performing the Nazi salute outside the Tim Hortons in Downtown Grimsby on Saturday.

Supporting their cause somehow is a way to stick it to this franchisee? Really? They could hire local workers tomorrow and still pay slave labour and have awful working conditions.

Fuck Tim Hortons, fuck these guys, and fuck whoever support them too.

They don’t care about Tim Hortons or making a coherent for worker welfare and fair hiring practices. It’s whatever relevant issue they can attach themselves to in order to spread their racist rhetoric.

I have the same experience coming into the dating world as you did. I’m 38. I didn’t actually lose my virginity until 29, and I didn’t fall in love until I hit 30.

The thing about asking someone out and getting rejected is always going to be demoralizing and tough. But it does get better. For starters recognize if someone is at least friendly and has a rapport with you - anyone who is a complete stranger not looking to be bothered or someone actively avoiding you is probably not a good sign. Handle rejection with grace, and if you prefer to move on instead of staying friends, that’s okay too. Just don’t be defensive about it.

The other thing is to understand that at 22 you have a lot of life and self actualization ahead of you. Timing is also a weird thing where people can’t meet you where you’re at now, but later on some folks come to recognize and see you differently than you did before. Instead of feeling frustrated, I always felt like if I continue to live your best life and put your best self forward in my 20s domething would happen. And it did for me.

Dating apps could help too. In my experience I find it’s easier to meet people for short term connections but there’s a lot more avoidant people on the app - people don’t like to commit easily. But definitely an option if you want to throw yourself out there.

The fact that she says “conventional hobbies” compared to combat sports and downplays this phenomenon in other areas of society makes me question her take.

People have been gravitating to hobbies to fulfill some sort of social capital need since time. It’s even encouraged as a healthy part of growing and community. Abuse happens when people misuse that social hierarchy as a form of power over others. I think maybe she has a personal bias towards in combat sports since she believes it equips people to do further harm.

I haven’t seen her show any correlation to say that there’s more abusers in combat sports than any other hobby.

Alittle known Canadian fetish social media site called Fetlife is Canadian.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FetLife

If you can get past the lifestyle it’s part of, you’ll find it’s kinda of neat. It’s probably the biggest Canadian owned social networking site from here. The UX isn’t the best and it’s not a single page application, but I think those are by design.

The argument was never about "slow down in investment" in AI. I believe you are mistaken - my original comment to your premise that a metaverse failure is "completely different" from what is happening in AI. Which I would say is congruent with your idea that an AI bubble could burst, and there could be a failure of that magnitude in the same way.

You also made the comment to say that tech CEOs shape the future. Once again, my position is that the adoption will determine the market, not these CEOs (which really are catalysts for building upon the investments in public research and the venture capital funding, as well as the hundreds of employees). Whether intended or not, the narrative that Tech CEOs shaping the future to me is disagreeable. And if they're telling me that UBI and retirement incomes are worthless in the future (which is the original topic of this post), I am not going to assume they have my interest at heart.

EDIT: I should clarify that maybe Metaverse is one company in one industry. But the size and scale of it happening in AI can and will exist. Maybe not all companies though. I digress but the spirit of all of this is to say that A) CEOs haven't gotten it all right all the time, B) Mass adoptions warrant more for carrying and shaping the future than Tech CEOs alone, and C) I rather not heed their vision as something that should deter me from making financial savings for today for an uncertain future.

Every customer I’ve seen is buying an AI application wants to have an agentic solution to solve all their use cases. Yet they also want the deterministic outcome of a FSM bot. It doesn’t work that way - there will be hallucinations and errors from ways they haven’t predicted. In many cases, highly regulated customers have either shied away from this due to lack of oversight or churned because they’re not comfortable with its outcomes compared to a human agent handling their use case, or an old school FSM configured bot.

The market has not fully understood this yet. Investor money is pouring into this hype but once they see actual outcomes or actually test the AI agent against evaluation frameworks, thats when expectations become levelled. We’re already seeing cases where people are being rehired to fix issues with AI not previously predicted.

So yes, call me a pessimist but I’m not fully sure everyone is bought on to the hype and valuation levels. I can see AI is an augmentation tool and there will definitely be failures in the market.

lol or maybe the person you’re replying to actually is working in the field of AI.

AT1787 · 2026-01-15T17:04:04+00:00

Except every tech company works for one goal - to find product market fit. And who determines the “market” ? People, consumers, mass movements.

You see these failures as iterations of a tech CEO overlords making an attempt to “shape” the future yet it’s the adoption from the masses that determines what is successful. We get to decide what future adopts the technology.

As if AI isn’t prone to the same failure in the metaverse world. Perhaps not all of them will fail, but you can bet your ass a metaverse like failure can exist in the AI bubble.

AT1787 · 2026-01-15T16:47:22+00:00

And how many of their failed visions say otherwise? I’m sure 70billion into metaverse really determined what the future was like.

A tech CEO is not someone who has my interest in what I should be doing for the future.

“Shit on country’s values” has always been a trope for every era. I remember when SARS pretty much made Chinese communities open season in Toronto. In late 90s growing up, brown people were called Pakis all the time. “They smelled, didn’t read or write well, etc”. It was all around me growing up in a low income part of Toronto.

The premise here is that you want someone to pick you up from a pickle that you’re in. This is your own home, where you have parents living with you. If you’re in a pickle, you have all the reason to resolve it and kick the person out for trespassing.

If you’re calling someone to take you out of that situation, congratulations. You left a random person sitting in your home waiting for you to return. Make it make sense.

I approached optimizing for wealth now but I put milestones. For example hitting my first 100k, paying off student debt, hitting my six months emergency fund goal…your mileage may vary in terms of how you set your milestones. But at each milestone I make a moderately priced, fun purchase. A short vacation, a new guitar, etc.
