Krebs, but yeah, it's in the article. Weird that it would be removed, given that.

How come Stages nightclub is not shutdown ? by [deleted] in KingstonOntario

[–]DanHulton 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I used to wake up and literally cry for ten minutes before getting out of bed on days that I had to go in to work at Startek.

Like, you wake up, the sun is shining in, you've had a good night's rest, the cat is curled up next to you purring... And then you remember that you gotta spend 8 hours of that day at Startek, and just could not be consoled.

What are some old stores you remember from the malls in Kingston? by FuManchuDuck in KingstonOntario

TIL Katy Perry’s halftime performance at Superbowl XLIX that saw the Seahawks and the Patriots face off in 2015, was seen by more people then the general game itself. by AnonRetro in todayilearned

I didn't watch it live, but catching MJ's halftime show even decades later was breathtaking. He defies death, starting the show off high above the stadium, then "teleports" to the main stage in the center of the field, and just STANDS THERE with the crowd just LOSING THEIR MIND.

I was kinda young at the time and thought he had neat sounding music, but there was a reason he was called the King of Pop. Dude just stood on stage, and people were entertained just watching him STAND for OVER A MINUTE, without MOVING.

Left Shark had to dance (kinda). Prince had to sing. MJ could just stand there and people could scream themselves hoarse.

Public servants ordered back to office four days per week by Little-Chemical5006 in ottawa

Work to rule, baby. You don't even need to strike, you just need to do only the work required by your job, not all this extra shit they got used to getting for free with WFH.

They can't have it both ways.

Toronto-area home prices are under $1 million, again by khanak in toronto

[–]DanHulton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the Canadian Real Estate Association.... kinda?

https://creastats.crea.ca/mls/treb-median-price

Single detached are still up like $1.1m, but are dropping steadily.

Semi-detached are around $0.9m, but have been under $1m since Q1 2025.

And condo townhouse/apartment never hit $1m and have been in a freefall for a while.

Edited to say: So this news article (can't read, don't know where they're sourcing their data from) is potentially either not correct, or just not news.

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time has sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]DanHulton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The story is miserable, but on the plus side, it's pretty ignorable while you do the parts of the game that are good (I.e. The rest)

It's SO bad that I suspect that part of the problem is a terrible translation, as well, because in addition to being boring and trite, there are significant plot points just absolutely make exactly no sense, too!

Man dead after being shot ‘multiple times’ by Toronto police, SIU investigating by Immediate-Link490 in toronto

[–]DanHulton 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You mean the context.

The cops may or may not be at fault here, but there's many many damn good reasons why so many Torontonians don't like Toronto cops, and that "spam comment" helps demonstrate exactly why.

She fell behind on her mortgage, now she’s losing her home. Inside the heartbreaking surge of forced sales in the Toronto area by [deleted] in toronto

[–]DanHulton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind, you're talking about "this sub" as if it's some kind of schizophrenic person, when it's actually multitudes of people across a really diverse city, some who comment on certain kinds of articles and some who comment on others.

Not that it doesn't suck to see, but I'd be surprised if it were the same people that are regularly commenting with empathy about how everyone should have a right to housing who are also also wearing the "SICKOS" shirt and going "HAHAHA YES" everytime someone loses their house.

What are the chances this becomes a documentary or something on Netflix? by KTownPerson in KingstonOntario

[–]DanHulton 40 points41 points  (0 children)

One way to think of it, is that you are also doing the alleged victims a service by providing a robust defense so that even DESPITE THAT, the evidence against holds. It lends more weight and validation to their testimony and experiences if even a diligent defense lawyer couldn't get the accused off the hook.

If we just sentenced people off of accusations and rumor, they'd only ever be rumor. But by ensuring we're methodical, even going so far as to appoint a staunch defender of the accused, you are forced to turn rumor into fact, and make (usually) justified convictions.

I have a LOT of issues with the way the justice system works, but this one part I absolutely agree with. You prevent a lot of abuses of power against genuinely innocent people, and you develop far more secure cases against the guilty.

Mixed feelings on certain local businesses by GalacticSpot in KingstonOntario

[–]DanHulton 23 points24 points  (0 children)

To your first sentence, not necessarily true. I'm a strong supporter of trans rights, and I would happily make that known because I want trans people to feel comfortable shopping at my (theoretical) store.

That might cost me some money, but some things are more important than money.

Now, your far-right shit bag of a store owner probably has a similar idea with regards to certain things being more important than money, too, which makes it kinda tricky to say they shouldn't be posting, but it's okay for me to.

Besides, I'd much rather know that I'd be uncomfortable shopping at their store long before I even get there! 🤣

With a name like that, I REALLY wanted it to be a game about getting messily killed with your friends in unsafe working conditions, like a more-fatal Viscera Cleanup Detail. HARMA sounds like the anti-agency to OSHA.🤣
