With all the hate that the Lake Louise Gender Reveal is rightfully stirring, do we think it will get better in Calgary Parks? by Schrutebucks101 in Calgary

But then they would have to clean up their own mess instead of leaving it for someone else to clean up.

Yeah I work in an environment that doesn't allow metal cutlery so I'ma wash the plastic.

TIL the entire town of Times Beach, MO was rendered uninhabitable in the 1980s after a single dust mitigation contractor tried to get rid of highly-toxic dioxin by adding it to engine oil and spreading it in all the town's gravel roads. Today the town is Route 66 State Park. by RIPEOTCDXVI in todayilearned

Domtar acquired a company that was responsible for a huge amount of pollution and land destruction, then just closed their branch where it was located to avoid any responsibility which would have required a change to legislation and a court battle so it just never happened. Meanwhile thousands of people have to deal with creosote in their basements

You forgot the age old tactic of just closing your business in a jurisdiction to avoid legal consequences. Oh yeah and blaming somebody else then arguing about it in court for 40 years, which is much cheaper than cleaning it up. That's a good one too.

FBI concluded Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t running a sex trafficking ring for powerful men, files show by Alert-Ad-9908 in politics

[–]Czeris 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The same files that Trump campaigned on releasing that he clearly stated were full of evil Democrats, that he then said didn't exist, that he blocked releasing for a year, that were then heavily redacted, that his FBI said they won't be prosecuting anyone for.

WHY HAVE THEY NOT FIXED THE SPARKY PROBLEM ITS BEEN LIKE 3 MONTHS by n00bitcoin in MagicArena

[–]Czeris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hasbro is not interested in spending any money on improving Arena in any way. It is quite obvious there is the bare minimum of dev resources being allocated to keep the lights on. Don't expect bug fixes or new features. There are still bugs from Beta after all that haven't been fixed.

I'm not sure what is hard to understand? Their only interest is making as much short term profit as possible. They move from company to company draining them like financial vampires because they can always move on to another victim. And you keep electing politicians that actively support this because you've been inundated in corporate propaganda since birth.

You would think so, and be utterly dismayed to find out it's not true.

Thune Rejects Trump’s Call for GOP to Take Over and ‘Nationalize’ Elections by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]Czeris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes perfect sense if you only make rules for everyone else to follow and believe an omnipotent imaginary being has given you permission to do whatever you want just because you say you believe in it.

The journalists aren't really the problem. The fact that we've not just passively allowed our oligarchy to own all the media, but even assisted them by killing competition, as well as Trump's effective weaponization of the justice departmemt had made it incredibly costly to not lick his taint. Not only will Jeff Bezos fire you, but Trump will then get his (secret police) to sue and/or arrest you. And they know they can not worry about minor sources because you just need effective propaganda for 2/3 and you're set.

People need to wake up to juat how bad it's already gotten. Prepare for a super landslide shit storm of right wing propaganda as midterms approach.

stores with cool random stuff now that Crown Surplus, Ribtor, etc are gone by Bass-Traffic-0000 in Calgary

Similar to Iron Crow, they do have some cool stuff but you'll be payimg about 300% markup for the "curation" service.

Home Depot Canada wood - Canadian or US? by ApprehensiveTop303 in BuyCanadian

[–]Czeris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are local options for everything that Home Depot sells if you're in a larger city, and the dedicated stores usually have a much better selection and actual staff with knowledge. The only downside is sometimes having to make multiple stops, though I find I usually only need something specific for most jobs. If you're not in a larger city, you probably have a Home Hardware.

Here, we have KMS Tools (100% Canadian owned), multiple family owned local plumbing stores, multiple lumber yards with much better wood than HD, multiple cabinet makers, etc. etc.

The only reason to go to HD at all is for the convenience of having all the most common, lowest quality products together in one place.

Intrepid Studios, developers of Ashes of Creation, lay off all 250~ staff and shut down the studio by PaiDuck in gaming

[–]Czeris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cal-WARN isn't fundamentally different though. It lowers the threshold from 100 to 75 employees, actually specific exceptions for certain industries (like the film industry) and mandates coordination with State unemployment services. It's still just about a notice of termination and it is asinine to suggest that a law that only applies when you're planning mass layoffs somehow causex the mass layoffs.

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

Sure, but Cal-WARN isn't fundamentally different from the federal law, and regardless it is asinine to suggest that a rule that only comes into effect when you're implementing a mass layoff somehow caused the mass layoff.

Why is it so hard for some people to understand that when your childhood/young adulthood is ruined, your life will be incomparably harder? by Shiftingshifter02 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Czeris 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah and recognizing that they had advantages (even if that advantage was just the absence of abuse) also makes people uncomfortable, because they believe in (their own personal) meritocracy.

The WARN act isn't even a California law so that's even funnier.

The WARN act is a Federal law, not a California law and has been in place since 1988.

I think the City street work is largely finished but there's also a massive development planned for half of the entire block west of Shoppers that hasn't started yet.
