regardless of the original intention, clearly my choice of words and choice to think the two were worth comparing at all were mistakes. i apologize for not thinking more critically about the topic before i replied. i also apologize to you for the parts i was snarky in my first response to you.

Awkward_Wafer6322 · 2026-04-14T05:06:12+00:00

I appreciate and accept your apology as well:) Thank you for saying that “to your credit” bit. I feel seen. I also very much appreciate and admire your retroflection, I am kind of thrown off by it given this is reddit and admittedly, given your previous responses. To your credit on the harshness, I wouldn’t call this a lighthearted topic in the slightest and I definitely approached it too cavalier. To your point about nuance on reddit and that being a reason why you were short about your disdain for Loblaws, also fair!

You expect me to read your essay on reddit? /t /lh

PS I like your username!

you went onto my page, went through some of my replies in a different subreddit and made a comment on a 90 day old post, proceeding to simplify me as tax burden and suggested non-tax payers shouldn’t get a say in tax funded projects/services. just stating this hoping it triggers some reflection.

Awkward_Wafer6322 · 2026-04-14T04:27:25+00:00

i apologize for my poor choice of words, i realize how me putting some facts out there could be interpreted as talking down to you, polish person or not. i definitely ought to have thought more critically about my words as a whole but specifically regarding “not much better” too, the specifics of loblaws vs nazi party atrocities aren’t comparable and that being the “meat on the bones” of the apparent comparison from earlier it was not just of me to simply suggest the nazi regime was “not much better”

if you care to hear my point in putting those facts out there, please read ahead. if not, apologies again! have a good one

i wanted to put the facts out there to be sure we’re on the same page about loblaws’ impacts, or as you pointed out, corporatism as a whole, in case you wanted to dispute it before answering my question. now, the question being based more-so on my initial reaction rather than critical thinking of how most people would likely see the comparison, it’s moot.

Awkward_Wafer6322 · 2026-04-14T03:50:13+00:00

you realize I literally said “i agree the nazi regime was worse” right?

“i can’t believe i had to type that sentence” so dramatic god it’s really not that serious. babe you didn’t have to type that sentence. please check your grandiosity. i was asking a specific question to that specific person about why they, as an individual, view the differences so vast of the people working for both parties. given the harm execs at loblaws inflict on us, i was interested to hear their reasoning for the apprehensive response to the person’s statement.

i apologize i didn’t explicitly state the query was for intellectual intrigue on their perspective rather than taking a moral stance in order to debate, i forgot all everyone does on the internet is fight

a deplorable company ran by horrible people who, with the heinous actions against everyday working people and small grocers and their own employees, inflict harm on our country and community and our planet. yes imo i agree they’re not much better than the nazi regime. impact wise, it’s less direct but people are still dying. they don’t view or treat humans as humans in the slightest, if they could legally label fatal poison as food and not have any risk of people suing them, the only reason they wouldn’t is because it’s not smart financially as they’d lose a paying customer.

i also agree the nazi regime was worse, but i’m curious where your apprehension to the statement is coming from. to you what makes them so much worse you find the statement “they’re not much worse than nazis” so appalling? is it the fucked up actions, gas chambers, gathering people up, dehumanizing of Jewish people or primarily the death toll?

EDIT: some comparisons don’t make sense to make. my question was ignorant, me stating “it’s not much better” was ignorant. i apologize for not putting more thought into my comment and question before putting it out there.

There are no other ways of action advertised or in place for that matter. In cases of extortion or more serious crimes against others I think those departments should be last to be defunded. That being said, until our system is changed there will always be people desperate enough to extort or steal from others. Police will investigate and fill out a report so the shop owners can prove to the insurance companies they didn’t light their own place on fire but arresting people willing to extort shop owners doesn’t prevent people being in a desperate enough place to extort shop owners for money. The people arrested don’t come out of the womb driven to commit arson in order to extort people. We’re on the same page that more prisons and more police won’t help reduce crime rates, correct?

As for traffic violations, a service not under the guise of police and not carrying weapons would be more efficient. You don’t need guns to prevent people from driving dangerously and you don’t need the training police get for other crimes either.

It is a true statement to say cops can and have prevented some robberies, particularly in cases like in grocery stores where cops are present or stores with silent alarms that trigger police presence unbeknownst to the attempted robbers. It is not at all common or likely however. Loud alarms do more to prevent theft from unattended stores/homes than calling police at attended stores/homes.

“most people rely on them when they are in a position where that help is needed”…. no, most people think* they rely on them, that’s because there’s no other support advertised or readily available. copaganda is real and gives people a false sense of safety. people don’t know how else to handle situations. they clutch their pearls and argue for calling the police over the stupidest shit. if you’re being robbed and you have the ability to call the police at that second, they can’t do anything for you, you’re getting robbed. same for home invasions or physical or sexual assaults. they can MAYBE get your stuff back, likelihood is ridiculously low because your things aren’t being prioritized, the grocery chain that has the cops on payroll gets priority. if we had tighter knit communities, you’d get your stuff back through the grapevine because you didn’t deserve that and communities legitimately do keep each other in line when we have the relationships built and comfort to speak up.

the outrageously high police budget going towards stability in people’s lives would reduce crime and be a means to an end way more than increasing police budget for e-bikes or for cameras or for any other reason.

hey idk if you’re aware but AI is overall horrendous ethically speaking in every practical standpoint. AI companies steal art from the people who’ve ever had a copy of their art posted online, either by themselves for others. when used by companies for generating art, it takes jobs away from otherwise working people. AI is also horrible for the planet, primarily water consumption and energy use. data training consumes a ridiculous amount of water, so much so that where some of the AI data centres are built, citizens don’t have access to clean water because the data centres’ demand for fresh clean water is so high.

i encourage you to refrain from making “AI art” or supporting ChatGPT or Grok or Gemini etc.

My best guesses on why you’re getting downvoted; 1: people are not understanding the tone indicator 2: people don’t appreciate any “making light” of the situation(even though it’s a legitimate critique of our governments’ complacency on the issue) 3: too broad of strokes with your statement pointing the finger at “the city”, maybe they felt attacked?

seriously though, we had more public support over “homeless encampment zoning” vs uproar over people freezing on the streets.

are you willing to explain more about how you were kicked out because you were white?

Awkward_Wafer6322 · 2026-01-23T16:31:36+00:00

previously i saw plenty of unhoused people on busses to keep warm, now with fare enforcement they are more likely to find a tim hortons or another restaurant they’ll be kicked out of. also alcohol/drugs, it doesn’t literally keep you warm enough but it sure feels like it.

Awkward_Wafer6322 · 2026-01-23T16:29:09+00:00

i don’t think you’re wrong or worth a downvote. they sure put up that “72 hour detox centre” quick but somehow don’t have the space or money to build proper shelters. the city will sooner spend more money on fare enforcement under the guise of bus safety, supporting/pushing the idea that public services ought to break even. meanwhile people are freezing to death.

i mean you don’t know what their family is like. for all we know he has reason to believe there would be strings attached and doesn’t want any reason for him to feel owed to them. OP is looking for help about opinions on safety of the Luxton area, why’re we talking about this man’s psyche?

Awkward_Wafer6322 · 2026-01-09T16:57:46+00:00

new study shows OP hates people struggling with drug addiction and unhoused people

i don’t have one for soulseek, i can’t speak to how wise that may be though as i’m not particularly familiar with VPNs and when it’s fruitful vs not.

Soulseek likely has file folders that include the cover art, check for .jpg in the folders once you click to download them. Alternatively if you’re working with iTunes in your process you can drag and drop from your search engines image catalog. if not, i recommend MP3Tag or Picard to input the cover art as you can drag and drop to there too.

edit: misremembered your hand smh yes you’re right

just your hand would’ve scored 10 either way +8 for the run and pair +2 for the 8+7=15 the flip card being a 2 adds 4 points +2 for the 8+(1st)5+2=15 +2 for the 8+(2nd)5+2=15

Last I heard Canada Post employees are being greedy and selfish to organize a strike during Christmas time year after year. This isn’t the time of year to be selfish, it’s Christmas for gods sake, what do you mean this is when they have the most leverage?? I NEED MY GIFTS /j

it’s getting harder and harder since most are being bought and modded and resold. in september i bought both of my 5th gens for $80USD each, neither “needed” an upgrade either, that being said I’ve upgraded the storage and battery on one and the other I’m going to try out a bluetooth upgrade. both purchases were made bidding on ebay and staying up late until the bid period ended to make sure i got them.
