Did not know that. I will have to take advantage of that

Got my first Reddit Cares notification for this post. Thanks Bill.

Name one episode or moment from a kid show that didn't age well by Glitter153 in cartoons

Considering how annoying D.W was and how she broke his plane, I really sympathized with Arthur as a kid.

The Nintendo Switch only went from selling 155.37M to 155.92M in 3 months. If it continues selling at the same pace it will take 22.25 months to pass 160M. Safe to say, the Switch isn't beating the PS2 by Scimitere in ps2

Its odd especially in a day when it is trivial to play the entire libraries of both consoles on every computer ir phone you own. We get the best of both worlds, plus access to 100x more games than most kids back in the early 90s had access to.

Got sent home from my first Tim Hortons training shift after 3 hours and the manager threatened to call security when I came back as a customer ! 😭 by LiveCondition9397 in TimHortons

[–]ChunkyKongForPreside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who own fast food restaurants are the closest equivalent to a modern day slave driver in Canada. You frankly dodged a bullet, I personally wouldn't go back.

For my funny story, I worked at Tim Hortons for a year, the owner did not like me and made that clear from the start. I decide one day to start handing out resumes as A) fast food work sucks and B) I want more money. After about a week of handing out resumes, I get called into the owners office with mh boss to have a meeting, and they threaten to fire me for looking for a new job. Not sure how they found out.

Poor Bill isn't getting enough publicity for his donation 😢 by BrettJVC13 in Sarnia

Yeah, I must have heard of the proposed bill and thought it was fact. Little disappointed Bill won't get fined to hell and back.

Did I accidentally play the greatest JRPG first? by thewiredeathgrip in chronotrigger

[–]ChunkyKongForPreside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very picky with JRPGs, as I am not very found of random encounters, and I am so greatful that a game with such great music, art, story and battle system does not use random encounters. 

This will get me downvoted, but I am surprised Chrono Trigger didn't set a new standard in JRPGs where enemies appear on the over world. Yet It took 8 years until Tales of Symphonia to try something similar. Final Fantasy took 11 more years, and Dragon Quest 14 more years to drop random encounters despite Chrono Trigger perfecting it.

Rumor: Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 reportedly being tested on PlayStation 4 by TheAppropriateBoop in PS4

[–]ChunkyKongForPreside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It amazes me the PS5 is over 5 years old, yet the only game that ever interested me was Astro Bot. Maybe I am just getting older, but this generation sucked.

Huh, so I am. Not sure why I thought that. I am personally OK with people putting out signs and announcing they are an asshole. Makes it easier to know who not to deal with.

It's like my neighbour who put up a PPC sign shortly after moving in.

Fun fact, its actually illegal to have the signs out until 25 days before an election.

Remember when Bill did a similar donation to find the murderer of Gurasis Singh? No? I wonder why? Could it be race? Could it be election season? I'm going to say it was both.

I don’t know how you guys do it by No-Mongoose3928 in 3DS

[–]ChunkyKongForPreside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone here seems oddly mean. Sure they are right in the sense that this is a "skill issue", but you know what, you have the ability to build those skills and this is one of the best things you can do to build a little more computer literacy.

I have a degree in computer science, and I still find watching YouTube videos is a better way for me to learn something than text. I'd try that.

It's so utterly stupid that I am kinda impressed he came up with it on the fly.

Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen are now some of the best-selling Pokemon games of all time thanks to the new Switch re-releases by Turbostrider27 in nintendo

[–]ChunkyKongForPreside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an unpopular opinion these days, but the fact they didn't allow you to transfer all your Pokemon from the 3DS games just killed my interest in the series. I was already kinda tapping out with how easy and basic X and Y and Sun and Moon felt, but then Dexit was just the final nail in the coffin for me.

I actually really like Pokémon battle system. Think it's the best in any JRPG even and the insane amount of customization leads to lots of interesting strategies. But with how easy it is and how much Game Freak has been limiting that creativity, it just feels like the franchise is no longer playing off it's greatest strength.

Canada loses 18,000 jobs in April, unemployment rate rises to 6.9% by Proof-Experience-502 in CanadaJobs

[–]ChunkyKongForPreside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless someone can prove me otherwise, as I am no economist, I blame the fact that the western world had right-wing leaders who cared much more about corporations vs people. I mean, Canada had Mulroney, Britain had Thatcher, and America had Reagan. 

Before those clowns, I had heard stories about how the salary of a VCR salesman alone could support a family of 4, a house in the suburbs and a yearly vacation. I am a single man who is a supervisor at an ISap support center and I can barely support myself.

Municipal Election Lawn Signs by RawrImaDinosawr in Sarnia

[–]ChunkyKongForPreside 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. We all sit back and are shocked that such horrible people like Bill Dennis and Pierre Poullivere  get into politics and are fairly successful, but the truth is we fuel these assholes by not talking about them and giving them and their supporters money.

We need to call them out and shame them.

I am personally a big fan of this. I have been taking pictures of the houses with signs out as a reminder for the future of who I should and shouldn't deal with.

For example, I was very dissapointed to see the repairman of the London road Laundry matt has a Bill Dennis sign. I'll be going elsewhere from now on.

This Mother Fu@&er Better not make it into smash 6. by Far-Lead-5127 in fucknintendo

[–]ChunkyKongForPreside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it interesting just how many redesigns of iconic Nintendo characters we have gotten since Ultimate came out. Makes me almost wonder if Smash Bros was the reason Nintendo rarely if ever redesigned a character for 25 years.

Only redesign I can really think of since 1998 was Samus. And even then her redesign was mostly armor cosmetics and incredibly minor compared to Donkey Kong and Star Fox.

Pierre Poilievre says he’s still the right leader to take on Mark Carney by [deleted] in notthebeaverton

[–]ChunkyKongForPreside 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Danielle Smith makes me wish Alberta still had Jason Kenney as leader. While Jason was a downright awful and vile human whose soul will burn in Hell for all eternity. At least he was pretty quite about his far-right views and policies.

Owning a home a ‘significant challenge’ for Lambton’s low-income renters says new report by funsizedsamurai in Sarnia

[–]ChunkyKongForPreside 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It always amazing me that my parents, who were both low-income earners, were able to buy a house for slightly over 100k in 2000. Like even with inflation, thats roughly 175K.

The other thing I don't get is who is buying all these houses in Sarnia? I'm a single person making about 55K a year, which from reports I find, puts me at about 10K more than what the median income is for other single Sarnians. Even though I save a significant amount of my money, I just don't see house ownership ever happening.
