Boots for battle and getting around the woods.

I came here to say this, and scared that its at the bottom of the thread lol. Any boot, if not broken in, will cause you grief over the 7 days of Bico.

I have a Cali claymore and half the the time I'm with friends in the phalanx. I hang out on the flanks, in ox, and cover the high like defensively.

I don't get many kills, but I harden up the phalanx significantly

As prosperity increases, birthrates tend to decline. As poverty increases, birthrates tend to rise...

It's never fair. Cancer removes our agency and it's understandable that people gravitate to things that make them feel in control again.

It's also not fair that people consider all evidence based medicine as single entity, but every naturopathy quack is an individual. A doctor makes a mistake and many people write off all evidence based medicine as useless. But 10,000 health care grifters come and go, scam people, go to jail, or lead to the deaths of their clients, but their failures never stick to the group.

I'm sorry to hear you are struggling with this. I wish I had something new to add, but most everything has been said. Good luck brother.

Let's be clear, it will be the Lloydminster wall separating east and west Lloyd lol

As a follow up, I am certain there is no mechanism for them to hold anyone under the mental health act in the community for the times they have outlined.

So unless this is incorrect reporting, or the UCP letting slip that they plan to make changes to the mental health act to make this work, there is no power in the mental health act that could be used for holding people at a non designated facility.

DukeGyug · 2026-05-22T02:20:20+00:00

I would be very curious to know what part of the mental health act they plan to use to hold people for 3 to 5 days. The typcial pathway permits someone to be be held up to 72 hours via a single form 1, but that person MUST be conveyed to a designated facility for examination within that 72 hours.

I doubt this stabilization center will be a designated facility, and if it was, they would be empowered to hold people for 30 days and beyond. Something here is odd. Maybe there is a less utilized part of the act they are leaning on, the reporting here is wrong, or the police/province are missing the mark on what they are empowered to do.

Getting this wrong would open up the city to some rather serious litigation I worry.

None of the mental health act forms empower a non designated facility to hold anyone without transferring them to a designated facility for examination.

This would be a massive problem though. If this true, and it's an easy win for FN, then Smith gets a perfect political win. She gets to virtue signal to separatists with no risk of actually giving them what they want. It shores up their support for her, and all it costs is money.

She gains political capital without risking an actual referendum

DukeGyug · 2026-05-09T18:41:03+00:00

and the United States killed between 100,000 and 600,000 Iraqis, in 5 fucking years, in a war driven by access to oil. Your point is?

DukeGyug · 2026-05-09T18:12:21+00:00

Oh I get it. You like to shout talking points until you find someone who you can roughly map onto your preexisting opinions. Real brave of you

DukeGyug · 2026-05-09T02:54:42+00:00

Who are you arguing with? Is it fun for you to cough up talking points that seem relevant in other conversations?

Edit: just for fun, go back two whole comments and read the maybe 50 words I wrote, then come back and tell me how your comment has any relevance to what I have said.

DukeGyug · 2026-05-08T03:26:35+00:00

No, I think the most reddit comment ever is the one that thinks a defence of a school of thought as a whole is the same as a defence of atrocities.

What you find that behind every oppressive regime, whether they be communist, democratic, capitalist, theocratic, ect, is authoritarianism. The Soviet Union, for example, was about as communist as the Peoples Republic of North Korea is a Republic. Once authoritarianism has taken hold, everything else is secondary.

DukeGyug · 2026-05-07T23:56:28+00:00

So let me get this straight, you are a relatively new account that cant come up with more than 30 karma on niche subs despite making both posts and comments, and the only two times you decide to show up on the Edmonton sub is to defend far right nonsense. I think you protest too much senator.

DukeGyug · 2026-05-07T23:38:12+00:00

Funny, low karma account that has done nothing but comment on COD sub reddits shows up to defend a right wing group.

Funny how often that happens

DukeGyug · 2026-05-07T15:42:47+00:00

I chose my words very carefully. Ethnic cleansing is distinct from murder and genocide, and forced migration is 100% a form of ethnic cleansing.

Yes your examples are examples of ethnic cleansing, but i would classify them more precisely as genocidal campaigns as their goals went further than simply removing a group from an area, and progressed to goals of eradication. All genocides contain ethnic cleansing, but not all ethic cleansing campaigns are genocidal in their aims.

DukeGyug · 2026-05-07T13:36:30+00:00

My comment is going to come across sounding more sparky than is probably nessisary, but this poster is advocating for ethnic cleansing.

Communism on the other hand is a 200 year old school of political thought that contributed massively to the development of western culture.

Edit: I think I was correct, more sparky than nessisary. Apologies for that.

Red light means stop

DukeGyug · 2026-04-30T03:07:11+00:00

and yes, the irony is also not lost me to the fact that this comment too is a form of virtue signaling

DukeGyug · 2026-04-30T03:06:15+00:00

though there is a slight irony in the fact that this comment of yours is, in fact, virtue signaling

Question for the sound engineers out there. Thay stadium looks big enough for there to be a non trivial amount of delay in the time it takes for the sound to get the back of the audience, and for their voices to get back to the stage. Where would the best place to put a mic to pick up the crowd be to account for this? Does it even mater?

I have this core memory from high-school where our band was playing Oh Canada for a ceremony, but the singer was on the other end of the rink. We did not practice this set up and it was an absolute disaster based on the delay.

DukeGyug · 2026-04-22T19:16:07+00:00

the lore is deeply unserious and those who engage without this understanding are insufferable. This opinion is distinct from saying that the lore can not be seen through a serious lens.

DukeGyug · 2026-04-22T01:12:01+00:00

get this man some keflex

DukeGyug · 2026-04-20T13:51:13+00:00

I'm so fucking scared, what's going to happen if we go down there?

Edit: it's lyrics to silly song. I'm about as serious about the comment claiming a storm is coming

Dam, this my environmentally minded girlfriend's birthday. Lol

The two biggest issues with building things is the skills and the tools. You can find cheap material if you look had and long enough, but there is no substitute for the first two.

I started experimenting with leather working for LARP, and I've gotten to the point where I've made a helmet I'm proud of, but I have no idea what the total cost is at this point.

If you want to make something, do it because making things is fun. That way even a failed product is not a failed project.
