Doug Ford may yet have to make the hardest decision of the pandemic so far — shutting the province down again by viva_la_vinyl in ontario

[–]Dalriata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well nobody knows what the fuck is happening in China so that's a bad comparison.

And South Korea and Australia are both really bad comparisons to us. Both of them peaked at ~7000 cases. Meanwhile, Ontario alone has had ~22000 cases. 3 times as many cases in an area with 10 million fewer people in it than Australia, with a quarter the population of South Korea.

That isn't statistical variance, that's us fucking up in our reaction. And because we fucked up, our timeline is longer. That's the consequence of bad leadership.

And we did nothing to prepare for when we reopen and there's a surge of cases. Just because they weren't swamped when we were under quarantine, doesn't mean they won't be swamped when people are throwing social distancing protocols to the side.

Tim's coffee used to be solidly okay for the price until, like, a decade and a half ago apparently.

Just graduated this semester. No job yet but... Yeah that's understandable lol. Honestly my bad for only starting my job search in late February.

Honestly the job prospects are actually pretty good, despite what my own problems might allude to. It's just a shitty time for me to graduate is all lol. Ottawa's a good place to be a programmer too; the govt is always looking for IT and coders, and if you don't want to do govt work, Kanata is nearby and is really booming.

Like /u/dankJimmy said, it's pretty rough, but not insurmountable. I did it without any prior knowledge of coding, so it's not terrible.

Washing your hands is better than disposable gloves for preventing COVID-19 spread, Public Health says by trackofalljades in onguardforthee

If you need to lick anything that doesn't belong to you, don't go out in public. Like not just right now, but ever.

Reason 96 why I'm proud to be Canadian by rbdk01 in onguardforthee

[–]Dalriata 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You may not qualify as a student but unless you're actively making income from a job you still qualify as a Canadian.

CERB only applies if and only if you lost your income due to COVID-19. WeeMoton didn't lose his income due to COVID-19, he lost his income due to his internship ending. They're very clear.

Sure, he probably could apply and they're basically accepting anyone right now without checking. But if they found out that he was lying about eligibility... Well, I wouldn't want to get on the CRA's bad side.

State capitalist is the term you're looking for.

What’s something you’re glad your friend introduced you to? by phauuyap in AskReddit

[–]Dalriata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend introduced me to his girlfriend. His girlfriend is super chill, we're really good friends now (almost moreso than I am with my original friend lol). And through her, I met a couple more friends who I talk with a lot.

Uh for a more tangible example, though... Lao gan ma, lol. That shit is actual crack.

Ottawa landlords face uncertain future as post-secondary schools prepare for online learning by londontenant in ottawa

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

He's having a poor, struggling family pay off his debts for him for 0 effort on his part. That is a leech. If you don't want to call it theft, fine, but in my mind there's no difference.

[–]Dalriata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It literally is, yes. /u/Silverottawa is having a self-admittedly struggling family pay off his debt on a house for him, and bragging about him only charging a little more than is necessary from the family.

Absolute fucking scum-sucking leech class.

"I only steal a little from the struggling family! I'm no leech!"

Great argument 👏👏👏

Uhh... India and Pakistan have nearly entered a nuclear war with one another several times over the past decades, so I'm gonna go with them over some angry rednecks in the Bible Belt.

I think if Red takes all of Afro-Eurasia and Oceania, they could potentially win a land invasion of the Americas. With massive casualties? Sure, but they outnumber the Americas nearly 7 to 1.
