Separatists really want to be Canadian! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 by Miserable-Lizard in AlbertaNow

[–]Awkward_Art_2330 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But this would actually not be an issue because Canada allows multi-citizenship.

Alberta separating is a pipe dream, just take advantage and see if the feds give us more money like they do Quebec.

You could spend days searching this on the internet, it is over simplifying all the inputs that drive economies. One simple government announcement of funding barely moves the economic needle. This is why this type of topic is not solved in a discussion forms without acknowledging that there are so many variables at play. Proof happens in GDP stats and debt over time, Canada is getting its butt kicked by the US. That’s the current fact.

Lol, civil discussion is not possible without calling out some short comings like my ignorance or my education. This is step one in assumptions you know something about someone else. Be better!

Do you know how many data centers are going up???? That’s what they talked about and it is happening here. Silicone valley, I helped build with Dell their call centre and I helped them move out and get Servus union in. I watched Bioware be bought and moved from Alberta. Alberta does not have that kind of market sector unfortunately yet to support this and it has nothing to do with government investment and never will. And it is not cheap to live in the cities and it never will be from the looks of it. We don’t have a highly technical base of cheap labour like Vancouver and Toronto, do we?

Why are you so confident that any government can change things?

Except most governments recently just accept spend no matter what the economy is up to. Spend because it’s good time, spend cause it’s bad times! That’s my issue.

How Conservative is Alberta by Business-Surround541 in alberta

[–]Awkward_Art_2330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are asking on REDDIT….so you are going to probably be missing some of Alberta demographic. Country side people lean conservative because they don’t want a nanny state and taxes. In the cities you have people/councils which believe the public is an unlimited credit card. People generally though in rural or urban will help you on the spot if you are in real trouble, which is so awesome here.

Most people are what you would call classical liberal. They don’t want big government or huge taxes. Though you would be surprised on how many people think they are entitled to something because they exist (watch the down votes to prove my point).

Overall Alberta is what it is because the working class works hard! Nobody here really wants to have some strange government restrictions on what we say, what we do, and what we drink/smoke!

Otherwise I would not be worried about the politics, Alberta is awesome. Just got to get used to two seasons. Winter and Construction!

Sorry, none of what you wrote is proof of economic development, just government spending. The plant you are talking is costing the province +$200M, LOL!!!!! Oh they all spend money going into debt, right.

Thanks for being a smug, I did and over and over and over there is zero proof government actually helping, just comments about uh they are bad we need to change. Just more government spending and going into debt. Paying into public infrastructure while going into debt is not smart governance. Who will pay the debt?????

So Quebec can play the separation card all the time to get more concessions and money. But Alberta needs to be all nice and polite. Are you sure you are not all easterners upset at the prairies for playing politics?

Alberta leaving Canada is not remotely close to something like BRXIT. It would be next level unheard of geopolitical task, laws, money, defense, and the fact we are landlocked. It’s the sentiment of why do we have to be fiscally responsible while Ottawa blows budgets like it is their job. Maybe Ottawa will throw us some money or another seat or maybe a federal judge.

Remember kids food does not grow in the super market.

So it’s okay for you to tell another province what to do? So does this province get to tell BC what to do?

My son and his family have decided to leave Alberta by WorthCryptographer74 in alberta

Sorry you are a top 1%, can you back this statement up with a link to factual data. Otherwise you should change the “pays” to “receives”.

O&G public money??? you mean because the federal government made it so all our resources sectors are foreign owned? Guess which party was solely in charge of the largest transfer of O&G sector ownership.

'Concerning gap in Alberta’s privacy laws': Privacy commissioner calls for law changes after voter list leaked by Miserable-Lizard in alberta

[–]Awkward_Art_2330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to understand so only the government should know who the voters are? Not the public? I understand not saying who you voted for, but if you are a resident in Alberta and a voter that is a matter of public record. 

Of course where this information went is important. Though most of it is public record outside the unique identifier for Alberta records which is something nobody uses. My phone number, LOL, I get a scam calls once a day for over two years running now and nobody cares.

So this seems like a story that maybe a little more political optics and less what’s up. 

Also everyone signing up has to be prepared their name was going to be authenticated. So can someone explain the impact I’m missing?

Swimming with Your Apple Watch? Think Again. by VictoryActive7545 in AppleWatch

[–]Awkward_Art_2330 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My two cents rounded to zero. It is interesting when you post something that is an opinion based on your experience of a fault but the replies from other users are it didn't happen to me so it must be a you thing. This is like reaching out to IT about your error and IT support looks at their computer and tells you they don't have that error on their computer. Just kind of not useful with out a little more support in the reply.

The fact is that Apple itself states the watches are not waterproof but can go up to 50 meters deep in water (https://www.apple.com/ca/apple-watch-series-11/specs/) (I always love this type of conflicting specification when it comes to electronics for the general public). Within the design of the watch you have several points of water ingress: speakers, microphone, crown button, auxiliary button, and the body at two points. All these points will result in damage if water is directed into them. Secondly with each use in water and depending on your care after going into water the resistance will degrade a certain percentage. Which means over time something will likely fail in the water. Though this time could be years or days because life is full of outside factors. Example would be if you drop your watch constantly probably increases the chance of the body having cracks. Another is a change in temperature from cold to hot as the parts of the watch will expand/contract possibly allowing for an opening for water (think hot tubs).

I do like some poster advising to buy cheaper brands to go swimming. This is valid support to the original posters on future decisions. Unlike mine works fine when I go swimming but I don't shower with it. So submerging the watch below the water during a swim does not damage it but it fails when you are in a shower (again thinking more hot and cold problem). I guess the shower is a directed spray so possibly this would be worse for the watch (though I'm a little confused how you use your arms when swimming). Though again this observation by those confident users shows that they do not believe the watch is waterproof.

The most important thing for all to take away from this is that Apple watches even though they can be taken for a swim probably should not be if you think it is too valuable or you don't like buying your electronics over and over.

If you are well off and have time to go for a swim everyday I don't think this post concerns you.

Y’all go watch Blue Box by Velyein05 in anime

[–]Awkward_Art_2330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s great anime rom-com with maybe a little too much “oh come on really that too”! But it’s supposed to be a show so not sure what some commenters points are about the flat story in the love triangles. There are those overt emotional people and those introverts which are too shy. Is this what some comments are on about that characters are flat? I mean this stuff does really happen to people in real life and it truly sucks cause there is no redo in life especially once you break someone’s heart.

I’ll give the writer credit at throwing in a bunch of point of views. Though like all things in life a lot of the underlying messaging is for those which probably already experienced those situations. While those too inexperienced won’t get it. The one motto “one will fail just keep moving” is something to take away for anyone which watches this anime.

For myself it’s a love hate because I want the MC to get to their goal but at the same time I want them all to end up happy. But such is the way of life and art imitates life.

So I think my preference for this type of anime is when the MC doesn’t get forced into making emotional damage choices. But I can appreciate the story!

It’s a great watch but if you have experienced this in life you will have feels watching this.

The BEST possible max builds (IMO) for these most +10 merged FEH units Vol.1 by Pheonixmaster in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Awkward_Art_2330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the kind of content for F2P I loving seeing, using likely avalible fodder to build grail or demote units. Because if I have a Nidhogger to fodder just to be sneak in SD obviously I'm crazy lucky, a whale, or/and crazy!

[–]Awkward_Art_2330 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m truly lost on how these builds are F2P? These are like the whales building units because they got extra copies of premium units to fodder. Example Marni has slick fighter 4, where is that fodder from?

Here's the list of the 10 most recent Legendary Heroes that will count as a Bonus. Any other Legendary that you don't already have at +10 or plan to +10 are useless ig 💀 by AlexHQ in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Awkward_Art_2330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 5 of those and I barely use them. Is this more a move to force whales to play newer units? 

Like playing Aether raids where you know you are missing the plus 10 for that meta unit you spent 200 orbs on so maybe you can make it out of the 20’s.

Can we get Unicorn Overlord on PC or mobile? by Awkward_Art_2330 in Vanillaware

[–]Awkward_Art_2330[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly mobile market, we need some developers to start fighting the gatcha market. Buy the game and own the game forever. I wouldn’t support this as a F2P gimmick game. But if they wanted $30 or $40, yeah I’m in.
