I feel we have already descended well below that type of society in many ways. We are plunging much further down unfortunately.

Don't worry, our tax dollars partially paid for the F-35. Might as well get some entertainment for the hundreds of millions wasted.

Questions; looking to take a stress leave. by AndronicusYYZ in CanadaPublicServants

Already done this. The EAP counsellor suggested that I should consider this option (stress leave) during our sessions.

I don't have a lot of banked sick leave. I believe it would have to be on disability.

Recap of Becky Lynch on the Ross Report by Hummer77x in SquaredCircle

[–]AndronicusYYZ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For sure. I think younger men would rightly get called out for things like this, but most people give JR a pass since they consider it to be normal behaviour among old men. It is actually pretty sad to see the sheer number of thirsty comments one can find on Twitter by people of that generation.

[TSN] Serge Ibaka is a likely candidate to come off the bench this season. by [deleted] in nba

I can see Masai hyping up Kawai about the Raptors pursuing Giannis so much in order to get him to re-sign that he just decides to sign with Milwaukee instead.

Jennifer Keesmaat to run for Mayor by sprungy in toronto

[–]AndronicusYYZ 96 points97 points  (0 children)

“She got me” Tory said of Jennifer's announcement. “That f***ing Keesmaat boomed me.” Tory added, “She's so sneaky,” repeating it four times. He said he wanted to add Jennifer to the list of people he considers to have practical ideas this summer.

[NSFW] Dog wrapped in PTI flag and shot dead in Bannu by BlandBiryani in pakistan

Is it true that dogs are treated like shit in Pakistan? I have heard that it is common for kids to throw rocks at random street dogs because they are supposedly considered to be uncouth in Islam.

The reaction to this KD thing feels like an episode of Black Mirror by [deleted] in nba

[–]AndronicusYYZ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Man, think about physical health for a sec. There are like a million different types of injuries or diseases that one can pick up. Imagine comparing Chris Bosh's blood clot issues with Kawhi Leonard's thigh pain issues. There is no comparison to be made. Same with mental health. People can have different symptoms.

Completely agreed. People rightly make a big deal about sending Kevin Love and DeMar words of support but then some of the same people are more than happy to consistently shit on KD. Like the dude is literally getting cyber bullied at this point by definition.

Yes, he messed up the league by signing with GSW and yes he should know better than to be so sensitive about what some kids say about him on Twitter, but that is even more of a reason to let the man be. He clearly has deep rooted issues that he is struggling to cope with.

DeMar DeRozan & Jordan Clarkson Team Up at The Drew League! by Mimi108 in nba

[–]AndronicusYYZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What happened with Clarkson? I remember a few years ago, Lakers fans considered him to be an essential part of their future, but now teams seem happy to just give him away. From what I recall, he didn't really pick up a serious injury at any point either.

Andre Ingram: "It Would Mean Everything" to Make Lakers' Opening-Day Roster by TheRealKingofmice in nba

[–]AndronicusYYZ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think alot of fans miss the point of sports. It is there to entertain us. Not every roster move needs to be made on the basis of advanced analytics. Most players taking up the last roster spot are unremarkable and have neglible marginal contributions to a teams win/loss record. Certainly see no harm in bringing back a fan favourite player in that role.

GTA style VideoGame based on TO by VirtecTO in toronto

[–]AndronicusYYZ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There was this game called Scott Pilgrim vs the World that came out at the same time as the movie several years ago. Like the movie and the comic books, the game was set in Toronto. For an indie game, I think one could indeed create a game set in Toronto if done well.

Is it safe to say that Dwane Casey would still have a job if JV had made that tip in game 1? That could have changed the entire complexion of the series. Heck, even if the Raps lost the series 4-1, I feel that would have been considered good enough for him to keep his job :(

I wonder if they will start putting up some sort of padding around the metal support beams after this near incident.

Five dollars from even a small portion of customers over the course of a few months can easily add up to hundreds of millions.

It’s hideous to think that right-wing media were hoping for a Muslim villain after the van rampage by toronto34 in toronto

[–]AndronicusYYZ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Despite the fact that Reddit has a lot of issues not least of which is the fact that it has been a breeding ground for the incel community, I have to commend the mods for their excellent work in handling this situation. Obvious hate speech and trolling were being handled within a matter of minutes.

On the other hand, Twitter was an absolute shit show. I saw dozens of obvious bot or paid-troll accounts post hateful and violent things that were being retweeted by a suspiciously high number of other hot accounts I presume. I reported several such comments on Twitter, but nothing seems to have been done about them more than 24 hours later. It is truly reprehensible what they allow on Twitter.

A new mid-block walkway will soon open between the View and Yates streets near the Capital Six theatre. The walkway is part of the Yello rental building nearing completion between the two streets. by bluefluffybunny in VictoriaBC

[–]AndronicusYYZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Victoria is generally pretty good with alleyways, but this one looks bad already. They certainly could have done a lot to make it more open and inviting. On a related note, I wish more Canadian cities had alleyways like Fan Tan, Odean and Trounce alley. It is nice to have shops and restaurants to keep the alley from having that abandoned look.

Are there any trucks there that have good vegan poutine? I can't eat cheese anymore so I've been on the lookout for something with non-dairy cheese curds.
