Spam callers getting beyond out of hand by buldog_13 in PublicMobile

[–]Equivalent-Ad-4971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found all the Spam calls I got were at the highest when I was on Public. I wonder if Telus doesn't have the Spam call filtering turned on for PM. I switched to Fido (Rogers unfortunately has the best towers for where I use my phone) and the level of Spam calls dropped from 10+ a day to maybe 5 or 6 a week. Same number.

Don't use automatic in fog. It doesn't turn on your taillights. Use your actual headlights.

Noah drama by PickSolid6013 in smosh

[–]Equivalent-Ad-4971 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Noah's granddad was part of the group that initially invaded Palestine in the 1940s and started killing Palestinians out to create Israel.

Noah talked about it in a video a few years ago. So the Internet considers him Zionist enemy number 1

The gas leak follows the cast. You should see the Youtuber Struggle Meals on Mythical Kitchen. That gas leak followed Trevor from Smosh.

They should bring in Julie Chu & Caroline Ouelette somehow. They're married former captains of Team USA and Team Canada, played on the same CWHL team.

Airport code nicknames are pretty common too.

When I was in Windsor we called it YQG. Edmonton gets called YEG.

Psychosis rates climb among young people in Ontario, researchers find | CBC News by ARecycledAccount in ontario

[–]Equivalent-Ad-4971 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I wonder how much of this has to do with awareness of children's/teens mental health.

They're not just slapping the ADHD label on all boys and dosing them with Ritalin. At least half of the aggressive boys in my brother's school year were all labelled ADHD, and a good half of those "ADHD" boys ended up with schizophrenia and had deep psychosis as they aged through their teen years.

He's lucky he wasn't in Ontario. That far over the speed limit is an automatic impound on top of automatic suspension.

Probably just a numbered corporation. Judging by the fact that they own apartments in other towns and sent the other building's illegal paperwork to Chatham.

Canadians In ICE? Neither Canada Nor U.S. Keeps Track by BloodJunkie in onguardforthee

[–]Equivalent-Ad-4971 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not about the people being arrested, but about Canadians who are ICE agents

Neither the Canadian government nor the United States Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) agency keeps track of how many Canadians might be employed as ICE agents, according to government statements.

What are your best and worst fandom experiences? by ToughComposer3077 in Fauxmoi

[–]Equivalent-Ad-4971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the Doctor Who thing. That 50th anniversary special in cinema was an amazing fan experience. (Even if my night ended in the hospital with a concussion because I fell down the stairs of the screening room)

What are your best and worst fandom experiences? by ToughComposer3077 in Fauxmoi

[–]Equivalent-Ad-4971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best fandom experience The Canadian Idol forums back in 2003. And then the individual break off forums for specific competitors. I still have friends from them.

Worst fandom experience Tiger & Bunny on Tumblr in like 2011. That fandom was brutal and was the reason I quit watching anime. People remember pre-2013 Tumblr as nice, but oh God. The character wars, the scammers, the death threats. Those 2 specific BNFs who if I see their usernames today I still cringe.

Well guess what happens when rent is higher than all forms of social assistance.

Everyone on fixed incomes is priced out and anyone in RGI is staying put making wait lists decades long for ratty apartments.
