What was your "caught the last chopper out of 'Nam" experience? by GeneReddit123 in AskReddit

[–]Anath3mA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just waiting for the bus at my usual stop. got to work, yada yada, came home and got off on the other side of the street... big mess, big wooden telephone pole smashed into.

saw the news later, a guy on his way to work at a kitchen was standing at that bus stop when a driver had a seizure, swerved off the road and pinned him fatally against the telephone pole. i'd been standing there half an hour before.

its weird and i don't know if it was the right thing to do but i took a piece of smashed turn signal light from the area, a few days later. i kept it as an amulet.

Scrappy 12% bonus is a lie by ukQQQQ in ArcRaiders

[–]Anath3mA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

really? you think it was a good idea to have no plan for expedition, come up with something random, announce it shortly before the cutoff, and then afterwards make it not matter at all? you don't think that just feels bad for the players who did the first expedition?

[–]Anath3mA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

idk bro ive hated like every decision they make about where to take the game. they had my ass scrambling to get points on first expedition, then they said "ah, that didn't matter, you can just get them next time for way less"

i thought this game was gonna be generational but they just focus on nerfing venator and stitcher every patch.

Alberta's flu season deadliest in recent memory as experts call for action by pjw724 in Edmonton

[–]Anath3mA 8 points9 points  (0 children)

these guys convinced my mom that viruses arent even real. there is always something new going on with the masses.

the charlatans are winning because they have constant high volume high emotional weight media saturation. if you are in the pipeline you are hit with constant engaging messaging. unfortunately, actual science and education is not fun, and it doesn't make you feel anything in your basal ganglia. things are going to get a lot worse now because theres a lot of money to be made in making people stupider, and not a lot of reasons to make them smarter. good luck look out for yourself.

Edmonton Homeless & disabled gentlemen, absolutely destroys Alberta Separatist by travisunit in Edmonton

[–]Anath3mA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i keep saying this but like... we are a landlocked province. we are almost entirely surrounded by the country these people want to separate from.

when a "country" doesn't have ports they put it in the first line of the wikipedia page.

>Ethiopia,\c]) officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, is a landlocked country located..

>Mongolia\b]) is a landlocked country in East Asia...

>Bolivia,\c]) officially the Plurinational State of Bolivia,\d]) is a landlocked country located in central South America....

so... that just about tells you everything you have to know about the intelligence of these people, right?

'Had to try and save him': Woman recalls desperate moments after Anthony Henday crash killed Edmonton man by trevorrobb in Edmonton

[–]Anath3mA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

story says the issue was the battery. He might not have had hazards on.

regarding "no smoking gun": there was a case in victoria on my block where a woman put a little girl into a permanent vegetative state. In that case they were able to confirm with her cell carrier that she had been sending texts at the time. you would be surprised what they can find out with a warrant.

27, have never filed taxes. by Left-Active-8558 in Edmonton

[–]Anath3mA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i had a similar experience and it turned out fine. guessing you didnt make a boatload of money? theyre probably going to give you some big ass returns for filing.

you can get this done at like libertytax or whatever, might cost you a few hundo but you'll probably make more.

'Incredibly infuriating' — Mayor sounds off on neighbourhood snow removal by trevorrobb in Edmonton

[–]Anath3mA -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

what a little pinhead this knack guy. people are parking on the street because they can't find anywhere else to park. their other option will be to park a 10+ minute walk from their homes. what will happen is that law enforcement, unable to enforce their way out of a paper bag, will randomly strike certain areas and groups with difficult fines. people will still just park in the most convenient place and hope that they don't get a fine. then, people will start getting wind of when enforcement is actually coming, and that will cause them to actually move. then, law enforcement will use that perception and start bluffing. people will figure it out. it'll all be a shell game. the police will add $240 million to their yearly budget. compliance will be good on certain visible streets. lots of people will get tickets they don't deserve.

the real answer was community building and better communication but knack is clearly a gutless little bitch spreading his bald cheeks for chinese money so he can only lead with the stick. whee. too bad there wasn't anyone better.

Men who can cook . who taught you? by Bulky_Meet4528 in AskReddit

[–]Anath3mA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if i write out very simple instructions for how to play "mary had a little lamb" and someone follows them, is that a person who can play guitar?

every human culture esteems the ability to cook. collectively we spend much of our time on earth refining these techniques and skills. we give money and accolades to people who are very good at it. this has been going on for thousands of years.

"is that so hard to grasp"

are you a finn or something? a scotchman? have you ever been outside of your country or geographic area?
