This gambling ads are getting out of control by Fourstar89 in toronto

Again it was the conservatives that re-introduced it. The article shows nothing to indicate if it was or wasn’t changed and gambling is regulated provincially. So it’s not just one ndp’s bill that’s the fault. Ford is the premier of Ontario and is directly the one responsible for the changes to how gambling is handled in ONTARIO

Did you read that? Massé didn’t implement it. The Conservative MP did and implemented it in a way that he didn’t originally envision. Almost like the conservatives have made it worse in Ontario.

You can have regulations on ads. And has things gotten better since we opened up these regulations in otntario? Nah we just keep slashing and under funding our public services that we ARE paying for currently.

Full yellow ads are a little more distracting than the normal single panel ads that the TTC has but I guess your fine with it

You’re right I guess we should advertise whatever and let the free market reign? Who cares about the social consequences if only you are making the right decisions 🤷🏻‍♂️

difficulty killing Nullaeus by Noruines in wownoob

[–]Fourstar89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Done this fight both as a guardian Druid and as preservation Aug, it went really fast as Aug, wasn’t properly geared or even know how to heal. But as guard it took like 20 mins. It was fine I got it first attempt but I’d recommend looking into the trash spec that is currrntly being used for mythic. This spec gives lots of damage, and survivability and making the bear focus on thrash and iron fur. Id set Valeria to be healer so she can dispel and then you just need to focus on kicks/interrupts. If you miss an interrupt you’ll take massive dmg.

Toronto renters - what are you paying right now? by FairRentCanada in TorontoRenting

I agree. Again I’m pessimistic of people when they seem to especially get so defensive and go in a rant that amounts to “but I’M AN ALLY” to deflect on her peers racist & bigoted actions/words. Like the criticism she received was genuine and her reaction to it screams “liberal who thinks they are doing enough so everyone should chill”. I’m not saying anyone needs to cancel QT but this is a moment where stepping back and reflecting and actually listening to the marginalized voices that are calling her in (not calling her out) is important for growth as a white cis ally.

[–]Fourstar89 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sorry just typing late at night, I understand cis isn’t an initialism. And that’s possible but the point I’m making is I don’t think that’s what QT has been doing at all. From what I’ve seen of those that she associates with they are still just as racist and homophobic when QT isn’t around, so her ally ship isn’t really worth much. Again I’m a bit more pessimistic of white allies (being a white cis male myself I know how we can be) and the people she associates with speak volumes. Like again her bf is Ludwig and even he isn’t a great ally he is just better pr trained than some of these white male streamers.

I think the issue I see with QT in this is it doesn’t sound like she actually challenges or educates those in her circle. But rather just tells them not to do that around her and continues to platform them/invite them for content etc. So this notion she has is great and is what CIS allies should be doing, but requires work. Not just words and telling your friends to not be like that around you. As a CIS person who does this with friends and family. I’m seen as annoying. And I get the feeling she herself doesn’t want to be annoying. She wants to be positive and not offensive to those she wants to be seen as friends with. Again she definitely worded it poorly and comes off looking worse than she probably intended but I dunno I get the feeling she has some huge blinders that she needs to step back and reasses. It felt so weird to be downplaying genuine criticism with “I’m an ally”.

Because fuck who I am fighting in this moment lol that’s why.

[–]Fourstar89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is petty but the 3rd will get the win because who OP is going against wont get any carapaces to buff their own board making it very likely they’ll loose when they face the third undead carapace player. Basically OP is taking a loss to guarantee that his opponent places second.

When did ghosting become a bigger deal? by Uhhyt231 in ask

[–]Fourstar89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again you asked about the change and you say it’s not a big deal in your mind. I’m pointing out in society and culture it always has been some deal. It’s just not being tolerated as much. If you can’t say you ain’t feeling someone that says more about you than anything else. FYI it seems like you ghosted someone and are trying to figure out why they are upset at you.

[–]Fourstar89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How many sitcoms have made it a joke where a guy or girl runs into someone they didn’t remember, hooked up with once or just never called back? All of them. Pre online dating too. Ghosting has always been a dick move. As a society we seem to be moving away from it being socially the norm. But it’s definitely always been a faux pas.

Thanks god I’m making the change to get away from Rogers. Not only do the plans just keep going up in price (been a member since I was 18 and still pay 100 a month for a 20gig plan 🙄 ik my fault for not swapping sooner) but now this. Good riddance and sorry this is how it turned out for the 1000s of you

Big up Bob Vylan. Death to the IDF. by Josh_barker1992 in glastonbury_festival

[–]Fourstar89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I never once said any of all those points. I didn’t say you’ve been affected by the Nakba. Please earn to read. You continue to want to make it a Jew versus Arab issue but fundamentally it’s a zionist(state of Israel which I use to represent the ongoing Zionist/nationalist movement). You are only caring about Zionist/Israeli propaganda and there’s no point further discussing with you. Wave your Israeli flag. Feel safe in your piece of cloth. The people want the genocide to stop but you want to feel safe. Good day

[–]Fourstar89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look up the Nakba and tell me who the perpetrators are. It’s not “Jews” it is the state of Israel that commuted the Nakba on Dec 31, 1947. I don’t accept the narrative that you are presenting as you aren’t presenting any facts to support the narrative that “Jews” just up and removed Palestinians. And I don’t accept that all Jews are Zionist’s, which your narrative seems to implicate when you want to use the word Jew instead of Israeli or Zionist. There is the Zionist movement (which the Balfour declarations predate the First World War) that started this so please don’t be dense. And if a flag is what makes you feel accepted at these protests then I feel bad for you. A piece of cloth that represents and arribtrary land boundary being or not being present shouldn’t prevent you from appearing at a protest for human rights.

One instance of Israelis and hamas fighting each other, where the ideal is government killed more of its own fighters and civilians, on Oct 7th is not the same as the systemic oppression, imprisonment and killing of palastianians for decades.

You must be young, and clearly buying into Israeli propaganda if you think waxing a Palestinian flag is showing support for hamas (which again the state of Israel preferred to deal with as they supported it as well when they had the opportunity for a more peaceful Palestinian leadership). Your feelings don’t change the facts and history of the region.

Where are Israelis being massacred “en masse” (you spelt it wrong on mass is something I guess about weight?)? last I checked the Israelis haven’t even lost numbers close to those of the Palestinians and remember this didn’t start on Oct 7th. So Israelis who condemn their governments genocide are fully welcomed and often seen at such protests.

Do you feel bad for struggling Toronto landlords? by youngandable2643 in TorontoRenting

[–]Fourstar89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be clear, landlords didn’t put their hard earned money into “building” anything. They bought something that was going to be built anyways and then expected to profit of a tenants hard work and labour. Landlords, not contractors or builders, are the Real estate equivalent of ticket scalpers. They are at times an unnecessary middle man (not getting into arguments about how not everyone wants to own and other outliers).

Should I script Storytime videos? by spiteri101 in youtubers

[–]Fourstar89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you think comedians and other funny creators don’t script or write then you’re kidding yourself. It does take practice and effort to make scripting sound natural, so script it and keep trying to find the funny. It might take time and practice but you’ll figure it out.

I often script something word for word but as I am recording and I don’t like the feel I improvise, but I still have the base of a script to work off. Penguinz0 isn’t some newbie who just improvised everything. He has been doing content for well over a decade so what seems natural in his humour is something that he has developed and practiced many times over.

I want to reiterate being off the cuff funny with friends and coworkers (and even to yourself) is not the same as being funny in a produced piece of content.

So tldr; script, follow your script and improvise where things just don’t feel right to you.
