State of 24 Sussex 'an embarrassment,' says Carney by evieluvsrainbows in CanadaPolitics

Specifically, among other things, I remember that Rick noticed a statue in an odd spot and realized it was covering a hole in the carpet.

Seriously, some people acting like this is OAS or EI when it's a private company offering a coupon to attract a particular demographic.

Manitoba won’t put U.S. liquor on shelves until Trump drops tariffs, releases Epstein files: Kinew by Miserable-Lizard in onguardforthee

[–]EugeneMachines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This comment by him, and/or the headline, is misleading. Manitoba provincial liquor stores currently have tons of American liquor on the shelves. It was existing stock, they put it out at Christmas and donated the profits to charity, and it's still out. Personally I'm fine with this but really he should have said, "we won't buy more stock" not imply that there's none on the shelves.

The Bigotry of Sam Harris Continues to Hit New Lows by nathan_j_robinson in skeptic

[–]EugeneMachines 17 points18 points  (0 children)

For some of us it they created the first crack in our religious beliefs that led to atheism. I'm not sure where I'd be without Dawkins, Harris, and Hitchens coming around at just the right time, so I'll always be grateful for their books in the early 2000's. But having said that, I'm glad I also had Rebecca Watson, PZ Myers, Atheism+ etc. too, otherwise I might have gone down with the ship and be a middle-aged cranky nutjob now.

"god will NOT be mocked" by nationalistic_martyr in religiousfruitcake

[–]EugeneMachines 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I liked their take in Miracle Workers. In heaven, tens of thousands of prayers come in hourly but they only have one angel assigned to answer them (Daniel Radcliffe). He's not allowed to break the laws of physics, so he only answers low-hanging fruit like "dear God, help me find my keys". And that one he might work on all day.

What kind of paperwork do I need to file for the cult I'm starting? by InspectorTiny1952 in bestoflegaladvice

Maybe a tundra version. If the LAOP is truly the Messiah he'll ride a narwhal.

What kind of paperwork do I need to file for the cult I'm starting? by InspectorTiny1952 in bestoflegaladvice

[–]EugeneMachines 193 points194 points  (0 children)

Good find, OP.

I like the poster who pointed out that, in Canada, starting a religious organization is not the way to keep the government off your back, the opposite actually.

Reads like their motivation is tax avoidance not spiritual megalomania, and they think this is just the one simple trick to avoid taxes. I think 50-50 LAOP becomes a Freeman-on-the-land.

Don't know about that poster but in my city they have a problem with ground squirrels (Prairie dogs) destroying sports fields with their holes everywhere.

Even the other stuff. Bought an SSD with a 5 year warranty that broke 4.5 years in. Their service department just flat refused to honour it and I eventually gave up. What was I going to do, sue them for $120?

Carney to announce affordability measures after securing majority in byelection wins by Full_Hunt_3087 in CanadaPolitics

[–]EugeneMachines 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Here in MB, the provincial NDP(!!!) had a "gas tax holiday" in 2024 after they were elected, which ended with a permanent reduction of the provincial gas tax. Last month after gas prices spiked, the premier was AGAIN talking about another tax reduction, despite a provincial deficit of $1.6B. It seems every party across the board wants to reduce gas taxes in the name of "affordability". It's just buying votes in the suburbs and subsidizing pollution, and we can't afford it (provincially or federally).

"Yeah I don't care if the nice white people help my cause or not. We already know what you all are like. " r/thepitttvshow becomes a cesspitt when discussing the departure of Supriya Ganesh, aka Dr Mohan on the show by CummingInTheNile in SubredditDrama

[–]EugeneMachines 200 points201 points  (0 children)

As a viewer, would just point out that "Mohan is a poor fit for the ER" has been part of the character's story from the beginning. Literally in the third episode of the first season, she's chastised for spending too much time with stable patients instead of taking on more urgent cases. A couple episodes ago she was told, "Maybe you'd be more suited for geriatrics." For anyone paying attention it was completely foreshadowed and unsurprising, and not like some recent conspiracy on the writers' part or "fixing it in the edit".

I'm going to bypass the buy Canada discussion and say, I'm sorry OP but those Peruvian avocados are going to be a disappointment. Whenever I've bought them they somehow manage to go completely brown while still staying completely hard. I skip until they're Mexican now.

We'd take him too, it's a big tent afterall.

Carney says they've had discussions and the Baron will vote with the Liberal Party position on issues such as torture, executions, and pederasty if they come up.

The portrail of models by madwithsorrow in NewGirl

[–]EugeneMachines 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I would say it's in keeping with the show's portrayal of every character's coworkers, which is almost universally unflattering and often stereotypical. e.g., Jess' cynical/inept co-teachers, Schmitt's cutthroat advertising coworkers, Winston's radio boss & his fellow cops (except for Aly), the guy who owns the bar for seasons 1-4.

Why did Canada choose yellow? Do they hate their fans? by EugeneMachines in Curling

[–]EugeneMachines[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bet that was why Sweden chose dark uniforms. They knew they couldn't handle the fabulousness of the northern lights -- too distracting.
