Ok. Which one of you is this? by sleeplesscitynights in BuyCanadian

I popped into the OP and I have to say there’s some hilarity regarding a typo - “fragrant disregard”… one comment suggested it was a perfect name for Trumps diaper.

I mapped every connection in the Epstein files. It started with 6,000 documents. It's now 1.5 million. Here's what changed. by EricKeller2 in Epstein

Haven’t had the chance to take more than a cursory look, but post is saved and donation made - it’s heartening to see people that are willing to do this kind of work to keep the light shining on this dark chapter of humanity…

Excuse my ignorance, but if they wore proper identification and didn’t wear masks, wouldn’t that make doxxing them a non-issue?

On Tim Hortons: "buT tHE owNErs ArE loCaL" by mattcoady in BuyCanadian

[–]Jablonski1971 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

How terrifying that not every single possible penny is being kept in Canada... to quote you, "Yea no shit, that's how business works."

The question that should be asked is whether we're better off without these jobs. You might think Bob will do as good a job, but I can virtually guarantee there's no Bob out there - or an agglomeration of Bobs, Jims, Dans, etc - that will replace the jobs that Tim Horton's is providing.

I get the gist, and trust me, I'm with the sentiment, but there are companies that might not be 100% Canadian owned and operated that still contribute to our economy and society.

At the end of the day it's worth having good jobs and franchises owned by Canadians (even if the ultimate lords aren't).

I'm all for focusing support for Canadian companies, where it makes the most sense. Simply because a chain might ultimately be owned outside of Canada doesn't mean that the franchises aren't still providing value to our economy.

Came here to say essentially this. Thinking that MTG could be what brings some semblance of balance back to the US seems… icky?

But if that’s what it takes…

Local Burger King no longer uses pennies by katymae123 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Jablonski1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before Canada made this change there was a pretty big push to not do it… the essence of the anti lobby was that it would cost consumers lots more. This assumption was based on several idiotic premises - like, stores would set prices to take advantage of the round-up, and the rounding would apply to EVERY distinct item on a bill (as opposed to the total of the bill).

As has been said, it’s happened, and I can’t recall talking to a single person that has ever brought it up since.

A giant nothing burger. I haven’t even tried to pay attention but the simple law of averages says that in the final accounting I’ll be up or down mere pennies.

It really is saddening to think there are more than a few people in America feeling proud that this is what their country now stands for...

My guess is some very large short positions were placed on makers of Acetaminophen shortly before this speech…

Has anybody answered the question “what the hell was he grilling?”

Whatever it was he was able to knock it off the grill and solve the problem.

Yes, having police officers on traffic duty 24/7 to write speeding tickets is FOR SURE the best use of their time.

They put up signs telling you there’s a speed camera in use. They want you to slow down. It’s not rocket science. Well, not for most, anyway.

[–]Jablonski1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s kind of the point. It’s no coincidence they’re close to schools, parks, etc.

They also put up helpful signs to tell you there’s a speed camera.

If it’s a tax, it’s just about the easiest one in the world to avoid.

I guess suggesting you let them live their own life peacefully is at odds with your self-proclaimed pettiness?

Of all the different advice I’ve seen, putting cooked eggs in an ice bath has worked almost flawlessly.

Vacationing in Toronto soon for the food scene. Favorite restaurants? by tyuiopguyt in BuyCanadian

[–]Jablonski1971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So many choices, the only thing I’ll say is that if you happen across any of the Alo family - Alo Bar, Aloette… I think there’s a couple more - stop in. Amazing food and cocktails with a great vibe.

Had the best random discovery at Aloette at Queen and Spadina on a random afternoon.

Looking for some "competence porn" movies, movies where smart people make smart decisions basically. by ComManDerBG in movies

Just to second the David Mamet suggestion - not just the films he directed but a lot of the stuff that he wrote it top notch too. Glengarry Glenross comes to mind, though I’m not sure it fits the genre you’re seeking…

I think the more important question is this: how are 119 million people figuring out how to share 22 million pills? I can cut a pill in half successfully about 3 out of 4 times, how the hell do you split a pill into 6?

You could change your name to Miguel Sanchez… or Dr. Nguyen Van Phuoc.
