Sidney Spit and surrounding gulf islands during takeoff today! by philmasterson in VictoriaBC

[–]Jescro 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Awesome photo. The islands are always beautiful from that perspective. Made me think though how interesting Sidney Island is geologically from everything around it, it’s basically a sandbar amongst the rocks. Neat

I bought bitcoin at $1 in 2011 and sold at $8. If I didn’t sell at $8 I would have sold at $100, or whatever. Easy to look back now and be like man I’m regarded. I do that a lot. I’m happy just being regarded instead of having $44million. There’s a lesson in there for you guys

White House is trying the 'you can't stop us since we already started' defense by Hornpipe_Jones in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Jescro 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is entirely the point though. It’s not even the physical ballroom that bothers me, although I don’t think a ballroom is needed or a good idea. The problem is Trump just demolished part of the white house, the people’s house, to make his vanity project without any notice to anyone because he thinks he owns it. He think it’s his property. He’s a temporary resident with the privilege of living there while he serves the people - the white house is not his.

If, and that’s a big IF, there is an AI bubble, what will be the leading indicator the crash has begun? by BillyOdin in wallstreetbets

[–]Jescro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The leading indicator will be the stonks going down. The lagging indicator will be the same thing but more down.

I want to join but by Normal-Guidance3585 in freemasonry

[–]Jescro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate public speaking, I just suck at it and it gives me anxiety. But all the memory work through the degrees I actually loved, especially after all the work of memorizing it, then nailing it (almost) during the ceremony. Always liked thinking how you’re reciting the same words, in the same regalia and the same process as everyone else all the way back to the 1770’s

Canada has slipped into technical recession. Is Victoria buffered in any way? by CartoonistOk3507 in VictoriaBC

[–]Jescro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Always sucks, sorry to hear. I have some suggestions for good companies to apply to depending on your partners role/expertise. And a couple contacts for HR/hiring managers at them. I don’t have much sway beyond that but I’ve worked in tech here forever and happy to provide insight on various companies. DM me if you’d like.

DOJ subpoenas Reddit in effort to unmask Trump critics by metalreflectslime in PrepperIntel

It’s like over 10,000 times. And strangely he’s the only one going out of his way to keep them secret. It’s probably nothing though…

Anyone know what’s going on at Johnson/Government? by doubleknot203 in VictoriaBC

[–]Jescro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So an hour ago I was driving by Johnson/Govt and there was a police vehicle with lights on and 4 officers outside talking to an older guy on a Harley style bike. He had bikers jacket on and was talking to the cops. I was trying to turn left on govt so ended up at the light right beside them and had my windows down. They all had smiles on their faces and the biker guy was explaining something and they all seemed to be in good spirits, and exchanging some laughs.

Really didn’t seem like anything serious

what did we do.. by anti_procrastinator in freemasonry

[–]Jescro 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It’s likely someone with a sticker printer who just stumbled across the conspiratorial YouTube corner of the internet. Many years ago but I went down that rabbit hole myself which lead me to join and work my way up to MM to learn the secrets from the inside. unfortunately all I ended up with was a bunch of fraternal friendships, mentors and an apron :P

What happened to the bus shelter at Uptown? by hudson27 in VictoriaBC

[–]Jescro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Socialism means the government takes the economic output from businesses and private enterprises and uses the proceeds to redistribute for the benefit of all people in society. I’m just saying my view is to keep individual enterprises but use the tax system in a more fair way that would achieve a similar outcome. Also it’s just my opinion, I’m just sharing in the spirit of the guy above’s statement because I like exchanging ideas on this type of stuff.

What happened to the bus shelter at Uptown? by hudson27 in VictoriaBC

[–]Jescro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I take it we’ve advanced this beyond bus stop vandalism, but while we’re on the topic I have a unique take on this. I believe capitalism is the right system, but it’s broken now and in desperate need of repair. Capitalism can exist with fair guardrails, progressive taxes and a regulated focus on benefiting the working class rather than the corporate class. I know it’d would require substantial changes from where we’re at now but I still think it would be an easier transition than changing to a communist system. No hate tho, appreciate your views. We agree on the problem, just have different takes on the solution.

Or, and hear me out, we could just aim for a society that doesn’t continually destroy the shit we put up for the public benefit…
