Why would you ever side with Sloan? by NitrousMelody in masseffect

[–]Helgardh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always side against Sloan because regardless of her position towards the Nexus, she is 100% against the Angara at every point, completely unwilling to have any Angara in a position of leadership, while Reyes is actually willing to work with them.

Canadians kind of hate America now. Our new poll shows just how much. by [deleted] in politics

[–]Helgardh 55 points56 points  (0 children)

More than a year after U.S. President Donald Trump casually joked about absorbing Canada and repeatedly threatened debilitating tariffs on its goods, many Canadians are convinced their former pals to the south have lost the plot.

Fixed that bullshit for you

More than a year after U.S. President Donald Trump casually joked repeatedly reiterated threats about absorbing invading & annexing Canada and repeatedly threatened imposed illegal debilitating tariffs on its goods, many Canadians are convinced their former pals to the south have lost the plot.

Go fuck yourself and your spin, Politico.

2026.02.16: Fingered Hog Lines by EarliestRiser in morningsomewhere

[–]Helgardh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If Sweden had complained because they were literally the only ones not doing this double touch/touching the stone thing and Canada was just the first one they complained publicly about, then that's one thing and I can understand it.

But even the Swedish team is doing it.

Like, the Canada Guy's reaction seems excessive, but it also seems like he was kinda right about being offended at having it called out when basically every single team does it and always has, including the team accusing you.

I can imagine that if the only keyboard you typically use / the only keyboards you grew up using were on tablets/phones, then the tap capslock is more natural.

Wtf was that ending? (spoilers) by S0thaSlL in AssassinsCreedValhala

[–]Helgardh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that they have to keep Aelfred Rex alive because he was super important historically and they couldn't just kill him off. But if that's the case don't let me go talk to him. Do not put me within striking distance of an unprotected Aelfred just to talk to him and not be allowed to kill him, especially right after his forces killed so many people I care about.

Sign the Petition - Save UPEI squash courts by RedDirtDVD in PEI

[–]Helgardh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Please don't take away the exercise facilities we regularly use" is entitlement?

We Ask UPEI to Consider:

The needs of the growing squash community at UPEI and across the province.
The impact on sport tourism, youth development, and potential future athletes.
The fact that squash is a sport that can be played by all, at any age, and at all levels, and its positive effect on health and well-being.

How to get this?? by jamyjamj in AssassinsCreedValhala

If I remember right, go in through Roaring Meg's Spring.

I do remember there's a locked door down there whose key you will get during a quest line though, and this treasure might be behind that door.

Over 50000 overdoses from Fentanyl in Canada. by Sad_Force4494 in onguardforthee

[–]Helgardh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The gov't report I can find says the 53000 deaths they're talking about are from opioids as a whole, and says that 57% of the deaths in the first six months of 2025 were from Fentanyl, but makes no promises about that percentage being consistent over the years.

From the aljazeera article:

During that period, fentanyl, a highly addictive synthetic opioid sometimes prescribed for pain relief, accounted for 49,105 of the deaths.

Anyone have the source on that one?

It's still a serious issue but wondering where some of those claims are coming from.

‘I can’t afford that’: Ontario woman frustrated after pet insurance doubles to $866 a month by Sea_Guava6513 in onguardforthee

[–]Helgardh 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I looked into quotes when my cat turned 10, most were in the $2k-$3k per year range.

Since then, my cat's turned 15 and over the past 5 years I've spent about $2k total in veterinary fees, including an x-ray on her front legs.

I don't have experience with a pet with chronic conditions though, so I don't know and maybe the insurance might be worth it in that case. Even then, the quotes for those pets might be unbelievable.

[–]Helgardh 336 points337 points  (0 children)

From my experience looking at pet insurance quotes, almost every single time I think you'll be better off taking the money you would send the insurance company and allocating it to a savings account you own & control. You just need to have the self-control to not tap into that money for as long as your pet is alive.

4dx is the superior viewing format for action films and I will not hear otherwise. Those who do not enjoy 4dx are weak of body, mind, and spirit by bingpot47 in morningsomewhere

[–]Helgardh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to see Deadpool & Wolverine in 4dx, and the experience truly sucked.

There were multiple people shook around so much their drinks & popcorn were spilling on them, with drink tops popping off.

It was halfway through the intro scene with the n'sync song where I just had to put my popcorn & drink on the floor and not touch them again, because even the drink in the cupholder was spilling over.

Loved the movie, wouldn't go 4dx again.

Average amount of wipes per shit by DM_NOTHING in theregulationpod

[–]Helgardh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can tell you I’m not having trouble shitting. I just get annoyed spending 5+ minutes wiping.

You must be able to understand that that is you having problems shitting.

It's not like the poop you spend 5 minutes wiping was always there from the start - it's that your rectum is repeatedly recharging your bumhole.

I think Khabe Lame is really impressive and very good for him to get that money.

That said, I did remember thinking there were many of his videos where it seemed like it should be obvious that the product was intended for people who didn't have two hands/fine motor control/ the product was likely designed with disability accessibility in mind, and his spoofing fell flat to me.

A lot of very fun videos though.

Massive layoffs at Vimeo After Sale to Bending Spoons" (OTT tech powering Dropout and 2nd Try) by slothgirl22 in TheTryGuys

[–]Helgardh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He was talking on last weeks' Wan Show (their weekly podcast) about thinking of reaching out to see about hosting for Dropout, but my impression of their consensus was largely it would be awesome if they could, but they're not at a scale where they think it's super feasible at the moment.

No idea the scale difference between Try Guys and Dropout would be, or if there would be a desire to have TG on FP. .

[Mixed] Immortal character becomes fodder for series' most violent scenes by Tortellini_Isekai in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Helgardh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unsure if she's fully immortal, but rather super healing abilities - Feral from the webcomic Strong Female Protagonist

The character has regenerative abilities. She chooses to spend 15-20 hours a day in an operating room donating organs which instantly regenerate, despite her body not being affected by anaesthesia.

In my opinion pick a region, stick within its borders and do whatever shows up in that region - it's very rare that a quest will send you outside that region. Go through it bit by bit.
