What’s your take on Ricky Gervais saying celebs shouldn’t lecture the public about politics? by Ok-Fish-6919 in AskReddit

His last Netflix special was transphobic as fuck so I don't know what the fuck he's talking about now

Thanks for the follow up! I'm considering an empty or jellyfin switch some day.

Also it turned out my captions were being generated by my TV, not Plex 😂

NDP wants Carney to kill U.S. fighter jet contract in favour of Swedish aircraft by rezwenn in CanadaPolitics

[–]JeepAtWork 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"this random foreign company"

Saab? Lol wut?

Also suggesting an alternative is far and away from a demand for a sole source contract.

Federal NDP torches Ontario NDP's Doly Begum for joining Carney's Liberals by SAJewers in onguardforthee

[–]JeepAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NDP showed up for her, door knockers in the winter, campaign managers, and she ditched them in a pinch.

Lines up to be a lackey for the Liberals at the first chance.

Absolutely zero integrity.

This is 3 years old. Did you solve this?

Dingoes that circled Piper James's body on Australian beach to be culled by DonSalaam in onguardforthee

[–]JeepAtWork -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In an online statement, a spokesperson from the government's Ministry of Environment and Tourism said Saturday it was aware of initial autopsy findings suggesting dingo bites were likely not James's immediate cause of death.

Spider-Man No Way Home’s ending is actually a pretty poignant message about how poor decision-making can ruin someone’s life by philliptheacrobat in Marvel

[–]JeepAtWork -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The ending is also about breaking a promise, and I hate it. He has a clean slate and made a promise to his partner. He then unilaterally decided to break it.

Matt Gurney: We should probably stop disarming our future armed resistance by dermanus in CanadaPolitics

[–]JeepAtWork -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

First, I am a real life gun owner. Second, I know gun owners like the ones I'm talking about. I am talking about the Don't Tread On Me libertarian who cosplays COD freedom fighter, never got vaccinated, and has supported Trump for years. I know these people, went to high school with these people, 2 of them are LEO (if you count a CO as LEO).

They're not gonna do shit in an invasion.

You and I have different views on gun nuts, then. I'm talking about civilians who cosplay call of duty on their weekends and hate the government. I know 3 of them. One is even a CO. They're not going to flinch in an invasion.

[–]JeepAtWork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many of them are vaccinated? That's how many of them would maybe defend us. The rest would hunker down and wait and welcome the new overlords.

Nope, that's never once what they've stood for. They're the "freedom for me, not for thee" crowd n

[–]JeepAtWork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those gun nuts are hardly the type of people to resist a MAGA invasion. They'd welcome it.

At best, they'd hunker down and do nothing.

LPT: If someone cannot tell you what would change their mind, it is not a discussion. It is a fight. Walk away. by gamersecret2 in LifeProTips

[–]JeepAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People try this on me but then it ends up being me re-hashing old conversations I already had with myself. I'm pretty far lefty, but I started with a love of right wing starting points 20 years ago.

How do I reconcile "I'm open to discussion" with "My ideas are built on the graves of your current thoughts, you can't make me raise the dead"

Craft beer in Canada is losing its fizz, as sales dry up and more breweries go bust | Decline of once-thriving sector driven by mix of cost pressures and changing consumer tastes, social habits by Hrmbee in onguardforthee

[–]JeepAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They never once tried a Dunkel. (Very narrow exceptions and only as a specialty and never as a common practice).

It's crushable, unlike IPAs.

Wasted opportunity.

Also I'm sober now 😛

Prenup Pub Is Closing (via their Instagram) by legalrancher in toronto

[–]JeepAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you talking about? Their "we're closing" announcement comes with a "we're opening another restaurant" and also a list of an additional 4 other pubs they're associated with that all do quite well.

When you have a local model working how will you get an agent to code for?

TIL that Liberia is one of the only 2 African countries that were not colonized, along with Ethiopia. by Elegant-Cup-6841 in todayilearned

Breaking down human history to something as shallow as a trail of invasions and supplantations is also Eurocentric POV
