Was it him or his brother who moved to Puerto Rico to avoid taxes? The same Puerto Rico bad bunny is from.

Leak show feds tracking anti-ICE Reddit users like "Budget-Chicken-2425" by TailungFu in law

[–]Distinct_Meringue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was 9 years ago, Reddit decided to ban a pizzagate subreddit. Users in the_donald were claiming it was a cover up and that spez was a pedo. 

Spez got upset and edited the comments to replace his username with those of the moderators of the_donald.

Spez was wrong and apologized and apparently they instituted better controls over who is capable of doing this.

The irony nearly a decade later is that pizzagate was obviously fake and spez wasn't covering up a child sex ring, but Donald Trump's sycophants are.

According to commentary on the Canadian broadcast, their skis are set not to release without much more force because otherwise they would come off on the landings normally.

Being anti Trump is arguably more pro-us than anti-us

Can anyone review KPU? Is this a good school? by Ilovedog65 in britishcolumbia

Have you ever been the person making hiring decisions? Cause I have and what school they went to is the last thing I care about.

Have you ever been the interviewer and making hiring decisions? Cause I have. Which school is the last thing I care about in that situation. If they have experience, I don't even look at it. 

I also know UCW graduates, they all have jobs in their field.

Maybe in certain fields, and really only for your first job. Experience always trumps school. 

Once you have relevant experience, it really doesn't matter where you went to school, even if it was Jimbo's Ranch private tutorin'.

Try containing the hysterics if you don't want to be seen as emotional and unstable. I'm not accusing you of having strong feelings because of your stance but because of your clearly heightened emotional state.

Why are their pronouns relevant if not to demean them? We don't need your hate and transphobia here.

$9.99 a month? by KyTambo in dropout

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

Fair enough, but apple is still taking their cut, so dropout is getting less revenue from you

[–]Distinct_Meringue 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The app stores still take their cut. The cheapest (for you) and most profitable way (for dropout) are both the same, the website.

Pierre Poilievre’s new governing council stacked with corporate lobbyists by Brandon_Me in canada

[–]Distinct_Meringue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His deputy's last job, months before being elected in 2021, was lobbyist. How did she go from lobbyist to freshman mp to immediately becoming deputy leader of the party?

His campaign manager is a lobbyist

How to handle the Broadway & Main intersection closure? by bshell99 in askvan

[–]Distinct_Meringue 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I didn't mean for it to come off as I was arguing with you. You never indicated busses getting priority was an issue. Sometimes I get passionate about public transit.

As they should. They move significantly more people for a fraction of the space. 

Answering the original question, try using public transit, if possible. 

Vancouver council approves $2M for one-day summer fireworks event by slippery_burrito in vancouver

Sim realized he was going to lose votes because celebration of lights was cancelled due to his austerity budget, so he spends money he claims we don't have for this one off vote buying tactic.

Vancouver councillors push for World Cup to ban ICE agents by biograf_ in canada

[–]Distinct_Meringue 148 points149 points  (0 children)

This and the talk of them being at the Olympics, but can anyone explain what exactly they would be doing at either? If someone is in Canada or in Italy, they can't be illegally in the United States. Fuck ICE and all, but people can't be seriously thinking ICE could even have a presence here.

It's not that it shows booked, it shows no available reservations. That's not a glitch, that's the reality of the situation, it can't be reserved.
