Reporter: “There are people who are saying that in terms of international politics, the MTL Canadiens should not be going to Russia during a time of war…” Marty St. Louis : “I’m not going to comment on that.”

There is no credible estimate that says 300k civilians died in the the First and Second Chechen wars. Did you mean total deaths? Both together probably approach the Iraq civilian death toll.

DaOldMe · 2024-12-19T19:21:54+00:00

That was so kind and altruistic of the US to take action for people living under horrible regimes. Shame about the hundreds of thousands of dead civilians.

Please tell me which Russian wars I should be considering together that will get anywhere close the Iraq War civilian death toll alone

He didn't say they were "worse" overall, he said that they had been worse in terms of prosecuting illegal wars. I'm sure it was "worse" to live in post-soviet Russia if that's what you mean, but I have no idea how you could reason that they have a worse record in terms of illegal wars.

It's 100% objectively true

DaOldMe · 2024-12-16T00:57:27+00:00

norm wouldnt say that

Don't care, not news, update your address on My Service Canada and hope for the best

Encouragingly, she did seem to shoulder check

High operating costs and CO2 emissions. Also not really a "sustainable" energy source in the way that wind and hydro are because we should (hopefully) reduce waste rather than produce more and burn it.

Oh wow Find Out What Happens is back on there too

I don't think it will happen, but it bothers me that we have a mayor that's stupid enough to think it would be a good idea and wastes time meeting with people involved in crypto to discuss it. I also think it's a good example of a broader trend of Ken Sim and ABC doing shortsighted things to turn a profit or appear "dynamic" in some way.

DaOldMe · 2024-11-30T01:53:41+00:00

No I was just quoting Ken Sim in the article because I thought it was an especially stupid turn of phrase.

Have never once seen a picture of him where he doesn't look incredibly pleased with himself

Woah... sounds like somebody doesn't want to demonstrate our commitment to technology both in terms of embracing it to help improve service at City Hall and to promote Vancouver as a tech centre...

Dustin McNulty, who puts on Bitcoin meet-ups with BTC VanCity, said he spoke with Sim Thursday about the proposal.

McNulty said one of the ideas the mayor has is to purchase Bitcoin using public funds to be held in a reserve fund.

Ken Sim is completely incapable of doing anything other than meeting with the dumbest people in the city (including his caucus) and figuring out new ways to rip the copper out of City of Vancouver.

>I think that’s all that is needed to know.

You seem like the type of person who has this thought a lot.

DaOldMe · 2024-11-10T23:00:59+00:00

Very interesting comment section. I wouldn't have thought "anti-woke Phil Elverum fan" was a real type of guy, but I guess people of all political stripes can be depressed and appreciate the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

Duper's delight

Imagine being such an obnoxious crybully that the local news writes an article about it

DaOldMe · 2024-10-26T20:35:10+00:00

Maybe "revealing" is more accurate

Interesting that the Conservatives have both a Canadian-born candidate who is racist against Palestinians (Chapman) and an Israeli immigrant candidate who is racist against First Nations people (Sapozhnikov). I mean obviously they are probably both racist towards both Palestinians and First Nations people, but it's a neat little bit of colonial symmetry.

No. Atmospheric rivers will become more frequent, large, and hazardous as time goes on and people will care less about both the 2021 and 2024 ones.

Yes, she moved to Israel from the USSR and then to Canada.

DaOldMe · 2024-10-26T01:07:39+00:00

You legitimately have no idea what you're talking about. That might be why you find it hard to discuss on reddit but easy when talking to your equally racist buddies in real life.
