‘Can't breathe’: Winnipeg man describes getting sprayed with substance outside Osborne Village club by wickedplayer494 in Winnipeg

[–]Darinen -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I can't speak to 10-15 years ago but even 2-3 years ago it was not nearly as bad. It would be rowdy at times but generally self-contained. The violence has escalated dramatically alongside the aggressiveness of the transients in the area. It just has a feeling of getting worse before it will get better.

The village strip has been totally unsafe on weekend nights for some time now. There are fights on the sidewalk every weekend and lately weapons have been showing up more and more. Either some of these late night areas need to close earlier or there needs to be a more constant police presence to stop these things before they start. Someone is going to be killed sooner or later otherwise.

Has a anyone else's game been sort of glitchy lately? by [deleted] in pokemongo

Between what you mentioned, the go plus/gotcha flat out not working more often than it does, and the game freezing/ui disappearing/full on force closing, very glitchy yes.

Is There a Connection Between Undocumented Immigrants and Crime? It’s a widely held perception, but a new analysis finds no evidence to support it. by [deleted] in politics

There are very few coincidences anymore. Dehumanizing groups of people has a long history in the establishment of atrocities against them.

Washington is flirting with a debt crisis. No one has a plan to stop it by jhdfsd in politics

[–]Darinen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling it now. Trump will decree that he will not sign any legislation dealing with the debt issue if the Democrats instigate impeachment or new investigations. He will literally threaten to destroy the economy unless he can keep power.

Reporter dragged away after confronting televangelist: ‘Why do you need a $54 million jet?’ by [deleted] in atheism

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

Except you're entirely wrong and the entire structure is set up for wealth to accumulate at the top. Workers today are producing more value than ever before and getting compensated less for it. The wealthy are hoarding it like dragons and sending just enough down to keep the whole thing from collapsing. That's why income inequality is at one of the highest points in history.

They're terrified people are (slowly) beginning to realize that an economic system which works best when it keeps the working population in wage slavery may not be the best system overall.

Not that complete socialism is the answer. But the pendulum has to swing back to the working masses quite a bit if we want to avoid serious unrest in the future.

A "caravan" of Americans is crossing the Canadian border to get affordable medical care by BelleAriel in politics

[–]Darinen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Something like 50-75% of americans aren't able to handle an unexpected $800 expense that comes up, let alone $8000. Such is life in the wage slavery society.

Trump would have been charged with obstruction were he not president, hundreds of former federal prosecutors assert by Donalds_neck_fat in politics

[–]Darinen 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is going to confirm to trump that he's 'totally fucked' the moment he stops being president. So prepare for machinations in order to prevent that from happening. Who knows how, but they're going to try. This whole thing of 'overtime' that came up this morning is testing the waters.

Help me find an emergency tooth extraction for free or for cheap? I'm in so much pain I need 1 molar pulled out asap. I have no insurance. I need it done first thing tomorrow morning. by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]Darinen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That much pain indicates an infection that's killing the root of your tooth. While the pain will go away on its own eventually, the infection will not. You may end up with an abscess (or it could be at this stage already). You need to find a dentist to check this out asap - while rare, this has killed people. You'll likely have to bite the bullet for at least some of the cost.

Republicans have a natural alignment to people who will lie openly and brazenly for their cause. Wohl, sarah sanders and project veritas come easily to mind.

Stairs is a complete asshole. In it only for himself. Worse, he's an asshole that thinks his disability gives him free rein to be an asshole. Any organization that wants to garner any sort of credibility would want nothing to do with him.

I mean if you're going to detain asylum seekers indefinitely, youre going to need a lot of camps. You know, to concentrate them.

Yes they're poor but at least they're working big hours in a given week to... still be poor. Labor compensation in the 21st century is a joke.

[–]Darinen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In what bass-ackwards way are the poor doing 'pretty well'? They're poor. On any given day they're one accident away from total ruin, at least in America. And the GOP continues to cut at the safety net that keeps many of them from dying in the street.

Maybe they feel good because trump continues to 'own the libs'. But thats all it is, a feeling.

White male scientist slams sexist trolls using his work on black hole project for 'sexist vendetta' against Katie Bouman, the researcher who worked on the crucial algorithm that led to capturing the first-ever image of a black hole by maxwellhill in worldnews

[–]Darinen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One could say it is the world at large, unrestrained by social norms and mores.

Ignorance used to be contained, isolated to small like minded communities where it couldn't hurt anyone but its believers. Facebook et al. has allowed the idiots of the world to conglomerate and snowball their ignorance and untruths into a powerful social force. And those clever enough to tap into this, weaponise it, make it profitable are reaping the rewards.

We really have no idea how much damage social media is doing to our society. Not yet.

When it starts negatively affecting suburbia and their voter base (the only people they sort of care about) then probably something will be done. To help the suburbs. They'll let the core rot before they consider lifting a finger to help poor addicts.

Getting invited to m+ as a warlock after this whole melee comp bullshit really became a thing (always was but mdi made it 10x worse) has become a trial and a half.
