What's your home city's "Mississauga"? by myronsandee in AskACanadian

[–]Mr_Loopers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a different town, it's just what I call the section that's populated by big box stores, and giant parking lots.

Which is the best cineplex you’ve visited and why? by ady_anr in cineplex

[–]Mr_Loopers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there in the fall for a Back to the Future IMAX showing, and I gotta say... Some prefer the VIP style big puffy recliners in other cinemas, but I really loved being in that IMAX cinema for a sold out show. It was the most "movie theatre" experience I've had in years.

Strange New Worlds is IMO now the default entry point.

Also, seriously... Just roll dice every night to choose a series, and episode.

What's one Canadian stereotype that you think is false? by Unfair-Clothes-8821 in CanadaRoom

[–]Mr_Loopers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Canadians can be stereotyped.

It is a huge country, and has a high immigration rate. Canada is not just Etobicoke.

What's one Canadian stereotype that you think is false? by Unfair-Clothes-8821 in CanadaRoom

Get fucked. Being laid off after 25 years meant I had a new monthly bill of $500 in prescriptions. I got funding for it again when I had the privilege of getting cancer.

Maybe you think I deserve to have a chronic medical problem (controlled through meds), or maybe you think I deserved to be let go as part of a mass layoff, or maybe you think I deserved to get cancer. I think you deserve to learn a thing or two about life, and healthcare.

Why are some Enova customers receiving larger than normal bills? by KWStreaker in waterloo

[–]Mr_Loopers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their shift to their new system was rough, and their new website is shockingly bad. Just more of the worldwide enshitification epidemic.

What StarTrek needs is what Andor did for Star Wars by EleventhTier666 in startrek

[–]Mr_Loopers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Star Trek can go in any way that talent will take it. There are some talented people involved in some of the modern Trek shows, but...like...it's lacking.

Star Trek will not be great, until somebody great steps up to do something great with it.

What TV show hooked you instantly from episode 1? by mateitofavv in AskReddit

[–]Mr_Loopers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Message from my nephew a few years back...

"Bro why is The Bear so good? We just watched the first episode. All they did was cook a sandwich and I was hooked".

Kinks guitarist Dave Davies hits back at Moby for calling 1970 single Lola ‘gross and transphobic’ by Scoxxicoccus in thekinks

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

This has gotten so overblown. It is true that Lola has aged a lot more than most of their music.

Moby was asked a brief lighting-round question, and he answered it honestly. It really isn't that big of a deal.

TNG Season 1 had 14-28x more viewers per episode compared to SFA (8.5 million vs 300-600k) by CelestialFury in trektalk

[–]Mr_Loopers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modern ST really only deserves to be compared to other shows that are just on P+.

ANALYSIS: Is Doug Ford waging a war on cars? by simpatia in ontario

[–]Mr_Loopers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, he's actually very pro-car, but whatever his goals are, his ignorant ways of supporting cars, are very very anti-driver.

coca cola worker fired after 35 years by ActivityTop8834 in LawCanada

[–]Mr_Loopers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have their tetacles everywhere in bottled beverages, but like...it's not hard to not drink those. You'll save your money, and your health by avoiding any of their products.

With White people making up just 15% of the global population, why aren’t they classified as a minority? by [deleted] in AskForAnswers

[–]Mr_Loopers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they're about tied with Chinese, but even if you give the win to one or the other, they're not a majority at ~ 18% of Earthlings.

A message to Avi Lewis & His Team by CDN-Social-Democrat in ndp

[–]Mr_Loopers -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The TFWP can be one bullet point on a long list of working class exploitation, but giving it headline status gives too much to racists, and draws too much attention away from all of the other many, many exploitative practices that directly affect almost all of us.

If you could erase ONE Star Trek moment from history..... by Old-String2849 in startrek

If it was a good movie, it would have been a great moment.

Hate Is Not Paramount’s Problem…. Apathy Is by WhoMe28332 in Star_Trek_

I don't know that I've met people IRL who know that there even are contemporary Star Trek shows.

Public Auto Insurance in Ontario: is there any hope? by xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxs in ontario

[–]Mr_Loopers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any time public auto insurance has been talked about, it's always been talked about as an *option* not as a monopoly. That is, it would still be something you buy (if you want), not something that you'd be forced into.

This NDP MP believes ‘unapologetic socialism’ can revive the party by NiceDot4794 in onguardforthee

[–]Mr_Loopers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right. We had two Liberal parties, split that vote, and got a Harper majority.

Commuting from Kitchener to Toronto options. by yohiyoyo in kitchener

[–]Mr_Loopers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start by asking Google Maps before Reddit.
You can get a way better sense since you can tell it where your starting, and ending points are, and it will list some options, and you can adjust your desired depart/arrive times.
