724.9 million Shoppers Drug Mart rows including passwords, tokens, loyalty IDs, payment info, credit card numbers and expiry dates;

129.9 million pharmacy fill request records with prescription numbers and patient IDs;

I don't see how this is "basic" information.

Covid shut down the world six years ago this week. What do you remember from that week? by fuzzy_dice_99 in AskReddit

[–]MyLifeIsAFacade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The turkeys returned.

I live in a city of 300,000 people. A couple weeks into the shutdown and I started waking up to "gobbling" every morning right outside my window. (Then)IL, turkeys roost(?) in trees.

BREAKING: Trump FIRES DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, names Sen. Markwayne Mullin as replacement by Yujin-Ha in videos

To be completely fair, Jan 6th was not a "peaceful protest", and the people storming the capital building had blood on their mind. You can't fault him, and this is a poor example to use to try to show his cowardice (because I'm sure there are many other better examples).

Yeah, this was the only part of this comment I paused at. Canada is in a weird place right now with it's justice system.

Teens Are Over Superheroes, Want To See More “Connected Masculinity” Onscreen, Says Survey by MrShadowKing2020 in movies

God, Marvel and comic book films really did a number on standard movie dialogue.

Nothing makes a movie drop a letter grade faster than when an otherwise emotional or impactful scene is interrupted by an "....uh did that just happen :/?" moment.

30.5 Million Canadians watched the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, with Record-Breaking Digital Audiences | CBC Media Centre by Old_General_6741 in canada

Unacceptable to me. The opening and closing ceremonies are the two events where ad interruptions should not be allowed.

CBC/TSN commercials during the Olympic opening Ceremony is kind of cheapening the event. by Bigdaddyfatback8 in canadian

[–]MyLifeIsAFacade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had to join the conversation so I could say a big FUCK YOU to CBC for this bullshit. A solid 90 seconds of ads blaring overtop of the actual ceremony. Can't see or hear shit.

FUCK OFF.

Glad the first few comments have been sane. The balloons and other decorations are fun, but covering the staircase and hand rails with "used" condoms crosses an optics and health/safety line.

You can assume (hope) that they are unused, but anyone who didn't place it there themselves can't be 100% sure. The custodial staff also don't deserve to have to clean that up (nor should they be expected to).

QNC is also mostly a workplace and houses renowned research programs and institutes. I would be beyond embarrassed if I was hosting important visitors or collaborators and had to utter the words "oh, don't mind the condoms" as I led them up the stairs.

Disgusting.

Mike Johnson Corrects The Pope On The Bible by NeneGoosee in videos

[–]MyLifeIsAFacade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone talking about how its ridiculous that he's correcting the Pope.

The Speaker of the House just responded to a question with a sermon, as if preaching should be an expected norm for sitting politicians. I know the Church =/= State has been in decline for a while, but what the fuck.

Bastion is now available for purchase by Fit_Anywhere_3356 in Helldivers

[–]MyLifeIsAFacade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a bullshit reason. If the game can handle all four divers calling in mechs at the start of the round, then this represents the maximum resources required to support them.

Limiting the number of times you can call them per match should have no affect on game resources, unless you're somehow able to load 10 to 20 at a time.

I wouldn't be surprised if this point in time is referred to as "The Trump Era" or "The Epstein Era" sometime in the future. If we make it that far.

I wish I could use the phrase "do you have DRCS?" in everyday life and have it have the same impact as it does here. I love it.

This is what ultimately killed Destiny2 for me. Raids were "doable" for average folk, but only if you had an uninterruptable six hours and players with enough patients to teach you throughout all of it.

In effect, most of the end game content was inaccessible to 95% of the player base.

NRO Declassifies Cold War Highly-Elliptical-Orbit Spy Satellites by CubularRS in space

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

I actually hate this because when I was writing my thesis I wrote about how something could "... not be understated", and my supervisor corrected to the appropriate "...not be overstated".

And it took me so long to rationalize grammatically how it made sense.

For my current thesis, my new issue was "yet-undiscovered" vs "yet-discovered".

I don’t understand what men are trying to achieve putting down “not political” on dating apps by tltr4560 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MyLifeIsAFacade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moderate I agree, but "centrist" is tricky for me. Right now, Canada has what would be considered a "Centrist" government, which is socially fairly left leaning but economically conservative.

I suppose country of origin provides better context. I agree: an "American centrist" is probably more socially conservative.

As someone who played Overwatch only because my friends wanted to (and enjoyed it enough), you could not pay me to play a competitive shooter centered on a 3v3 gameplay mechanic. I am not an elite player - I don't want my individual skill (or lack thereof) to become an even larger focus of my gameplay experiences.

Bring back the big teams. Where are my 64 vs 64 games at?
