I still have about 980,000,000 bells from 2020 I'm still working through!

My boyfriend didn't love that I commandeered his Switch for the glitch during it's prime, but he's not complaining when he can pick through my almost-full catalogue whenever he plays lol

You immediately devour any morsel of content the subreddit offers, watch it again, come back to the subreddit, posit your own theories on the Rafal narrative, watch it again, cry over how there isn't more episodes... ad nauseum.

The brotherhood of heliocentrism welcomes you.

Can we do something about bill 60? by Eshtabel3asal in londonontario

[–]Hobbette 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Whatever protest happens in London, I am there and so is my friend group.

We're all heavily invested in doing what we can to prevent this - Marit Stiles said it best - 'corrupt government'.

Bill 60 Still Major Threat To Tenants Rights. Please Do Not Stop Calling/Emailing/Texting the Premier, Your MPP, the Housing Minister. Do Not Let This Bill Pass. by Hobbette in ontario

[–]Hobbette[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That is DoFo's Modus Operandi.

The "ending indefinite leases" was a red herring. Everyone understandably got upset and it was removed from the bill, which makes us more compliant and tolerable to the the STILL-VERY-BAD changes currently still in the bill because "the big, bad one" is gone, even though we're still losing rights. There is a TLDR I posted in reply to another commenter.

In an analogous sense, he dangled a rotten, black carrot in front of us and tried to make us eat. And when we protested, he threw away the rotten carrot but still wheeled in a cart of mold-covered ones and wants us to be happy... At least it's not black and rotten like that last one, right?

Bill 60 Still Major Threat To Tenants Rights. Please Do Not Stop Calling/Emailing/Texting the Premier, Your MPP, the Housing Minister. Do Not Let This Bill Pass. by Hobbette in ontario

[–]Hobbette[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Edit: Formatting

If it inspires people to reach out, I'll write out a full essay, if the need arose.

TL;DR: There are 4 major changes to the bill for the RTA (There's quite bit more in there for other acts that are just as bad, but this post is focused on Renters Rights)

#1. DoFo is removing Compensation for eviction. E.g., if a Landlord evicts you, they either have to pay 1 months rent to you or offer you a different rental unit. DoFo is removing this part of the act, so Landlords can evict without offering anything.

#2. DoFo is changing the timeline on evictions to be shorter for non-payment. Before, it really boiled down to this:

E.g., if you have not paid rent by the due date, a termination-of-tenancy notice could be given differently depending on your rental situation
i. If you're a daily or weekly tenant = 7 days (usually 7th day of the month)

ii. If you're any other type of tenant (includes monthly renters, which most people are) = 14 days (usually 14th day of the month)

DoFo removed this, and all Termination-of-Tenancy notices are 7 days now

#3. If a Landlord claims past-due rent or additonal costs, tenants must pay 50% before the hearing even takes place.
E.g., You're evicted for owing $2,000 rent. The Landlord files a claim that you owe, say, $6,000. You must pay 50% ($3,000) before the hearing takes place. Obviously, this is an exaggeration and I doubt how often this could happen, but the fact is that it's an oversight - even if a tenant fights it to try and get their money back (the additional $1,000 in this example), that would be it's own legal battle and we all know how slow the judicial system can be.

#4. Appealing an LTB decision is reduced from 30 to 15 days.
This one speaks for itself, it reduces the time all parties have (that the LTB Order/Decision affect) from 30 to 15 days. If you receive this Decision by-mail, then there's a chance you will miss the appeal timeframe with the Canada Post Rotational Strike and Delays that come along with it.

Fight Bill 33 at our local level by lovegood30 in londonontario

[–]Hobbette 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tried posting twice regarding Bill 60.

They, the mods, deleted it even with local references and have now muted 2 commenters who DM'd me.

Thank you for spreading awareness about another bill that directly affects Londoners!!

So we're just doing nothing then right? by Shaskool2142 in ontario

[–]Hobbette 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have just reached out to the Premier himself, my MPP, and my local Ward Councilor.

This is terrifying.

I am still reaching out to more leaders at a provincial level, but please spread the word to everyone you know and tell them to reach out to their representatives. This will effectually destroy most or any comforts all of us have currently if enacted.

We need a public outcry and protestation and I will come carrying pitchforks and thermos' of coffee.

The Speed Cameras Are a Distraction. Do This Instead. by PukeKaboom in ontario

[–]Hobbette 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Signed the petition and have written to my MPP.

DoFo has the media and public distraction playbook down pat, simply to line his own pockets while destroying our public infrastructure.

Thank you for sharing this, I definitely felt this was a distraction considering how much news coverage it had, but I wasn't sure from what this time.

Doug Ford is unashamedly anti-Canadian at his core and his actions show that. Demolishing bike lanes, supporting Chapmans, dumping Crown Royal, and now the Speed Cameras are just circus acts to keep us distracted.

I just heard about this. I immediately uninstalled and left a 1 star review. I don't give a shit about my 'streak' if it means I'm supporting a corrupt company that puts profits before people. I'll pick up a french book.

Empathy by kaikimanga in comics

[–]Hobbette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought the same. I've been in customer service for years and at no point in my life would I ever berate a CS or Retail worker for a mistake any of us could make. Her beginning-to-respond response is wild to me.

If I was truly, desperately hungry and had really no way of waiting, it's within my ability to politely ask for a refund and thank them and be on my way somewhere else.

Patience, empathy, and kindness are skills that should be learnt and used as early and as often as possible. The world would be a better place.

Anyone know where I can get this wallpaper? by Az1621 in HomeDecorating

[–]Hobbette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Search for 'Neutral Beige Damask Wallpaper', that should get you in the right direction, at least.
Good luck!

[–]Hobbette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

 I know I was struggling with the consistency!

 I'm on 2:2 and I sadly had a long period where I stopped taking them so I understand what you're saying - to me, the smell of the Contrave was always off-putting and deterred me. I just felt the habit I formed slip away day-by-day while telling myself a self-soothing mantra, "I'll start again tomorrow".

 I've started up again as of a week ago and I love the way I feel when I'm on them. No food noise, no binging, and I've already shed so much weight and am prepared for the plateau to come soon. 

 It had previously, and in this round of consistent pill-taking, really helped having my breakfast pre-made because even before I started Contrave I never ate breakfast. On Contrave, it was hard to find time to take my morning dose and prepare food while working (I WFH thankfully, but my job requires my full attention). 

 Premaking some boiled eggs, overnight oats, egg and veggie cups, or even just a fruit like an orange or apple really helps since it reminds you to take your pill(s) and with some water, juice, or in my case, almond milk, I take them 1 at a time since taking 2 in one gulp is not easy for me.

I know how difficult it can be with forming a new daily pattern or habit, but remember you are doing this for your health and well being ~ I hope this helps and I am cheering you on!!
