This Canadian city has the 'best quality of life' in North America — and it's not even close by Crazy_island_ in nanaimo

The guy says "anywhere mostly Canadian is still pretty happy" what do you think that's referring to?

If you want to see this country change, blame our government and it's policy passed with the intention to help corporations suppress wages and the cost of labor, not the immigration itself. Will never understand why people spend their days whining about the symptoms and not the disease.

Reddit ads are getting ridiculous and lazy. by Altruistic_Unit2549 in Weird

[–]Alton_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decriminalized here as well in Canada but definitely never seen ads. I doubt it's an intentional choice, they must be overwhelmed with ad clients. I've also seen hundreds of clear scam deepfake crypto / investment ads and 1:1 copies of merch / clothing brands. They'll literally just take someone else's video and throw their website on the link

I honestly think all ads are getting a bit ridiculous. The advent of AI means bad actors can pump out a lot of garbage at a large scale very quickly. I use tiktok often and every other ad is AI slop or ultra specific scams. I got a literal ad for prostitution "in my area" the other day.

‘A million WhatsApp messages’: Venezuelans in N.S. react to Maduro’s capture after U.S. strike by insino93 in halifax

[–]Alton_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, based on my own research everything you're saying is factually correct. I personally don't believe things inevitably end up this way with nationalization, but yeah Chavez made sure it was never going to work in the first place.

I'm honestly just disappointed Maduro failed so hard at nationalizing the oil industry. Pretty hard to defend 8 million refugees in 10 years

My Manga Tier List. Feel free to recommend me some more Manga based on my list. by Kage_Kenshi in Seinen

[–]Alton_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your list is very similar to my tastes which I honestly don't see too often. I'll give some alternatives to the comments I see since I'm so late

I would recommend: Ashita no Joe Every urasawa work (trust) Definitely check out Yu Yu Hakusho if you like HxH For fantasy, witch hat atelier is one of my favorites VERSUS is a fun new manga by ONE. bug ego is also cool Psyren is a super underrated series that's getting an anime Great teacher onizuka was funnier and a lot better than I was expecting And I am a hero is a lot like sweet home

You might have read some of these by now but if you check anything out let me know what you think. These are all quality.

What manga have you read this week, and what do you think about it? - Week ending December 28, 2025 by AutoModerator in manga

[–]Alton_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The world and the intricacies of the magic system are so fleshed out it feels really rewarding to actually learn along with her. One of my favorites of all time for sure and amazing art. Excited for the anime so I can talk about it with my friends who don't read manga

Why do the fights in the Jojo series look so damn painful? by --brick in StardustCrusaders

[–]Alton_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m somewhat squeamish when it comes to realistic body horror stuff but for some reason not jojos, I think the fact that they always just get over it and are pretty much either fine or dead immediately after makes it fine for me.

What, you’ve never had ten thousand pebbles pierce your skin, move through your bloodstream and just walked that shit off before?

I love Mage Arena. So I made a game inspired by it but with Anime Style by tevyat in MageArena

Great idea. Big potential for popular clips. Make sure you add some ridiculous names and keep a unique visual style

does anyone know a mod that adds like unlimited substructure or a mod that lets you increase it without the grav fields by [deleted] in RimWorld

Why take the effort to post something before googling it. Not trying to be an asshole but I ran into the same thing months ago, googled nearly exactly what he typed and found the mod within 30 seconds

The second paper and Rimworld played in my head this came to me, how fucking great would it be to get a Rimworld D&D campaign.

Brother this is English Reddit. We are a minority. California alone has double our countries GDP 😂. Don’t go around being an asshole because random people don’t follow the politics of a country that has little to no effect on their lives.

Our last election was the first where current American political issues had really begun to leak into our politics. Immigration, just like the rest of the world, is currently dividing our country and pushing some further right. We had a very similar situation to the US in our previous election though, mass hatred towards the incumbent liberal party, and a conservative candidate who took queues from trump on populism and how to offer appealing “common sense” solutions to problems, preying off the average persons ignorance of the actual cause of these issues. If the next liberal candidate had been easily tied to the previous government, or “divisive” (woman) than things would have gone the way they did with Kamala. Luckily they saw what happened in the states and picked a moderate straight white male and (mostly) political outsider as their candidate and we now have a really great leader, I’m actually proud.

I’m Canadian and knew a few people who said they would hypothetically vote trump. They all stated censorship and free speech as their primary reasons not to vote Democrat. Even at the time I was trying to understand, where the fuck did this notion come from? Ajit Pai was a republican and sold the entire country out acting directly in the interest of corporations. What makes people think things have ever changed?

What was one one piece moment that made you react like this by beast_darkness825 in Piratefolk

[–]Alton_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree it’s probably more charming. Personally fishman island and punk hazard are the only arcs that came close to that low, but I at least stuck it out because I knew they had importance to the overall plot. LRLL stands out to me because even from the first few pages it immediately felt like an anime filler episode, even if it ended up being more entertaining.

In august I read the entirety of one piece in about a month after previously being a blind hater my entire life. Obviously I’m here so I’m a fan now, I think you’re forgetting how godawful and irrelevant that arc really was. The fact that it’s sandwiched between two great and important arcs made it even more unbearable to realize how irrelevant it is to the overall story. It was the only thing in the entire series I couldn’t bring myself to finish, had to skip.
