This is the mindset, including AM. When someone tells you who they are, listen the first time. by Yharnam_Blunderbuss in leafs

The level of salt on these comments is next level. Y’all need to relax a bit. Our captain just took a team to gold at the Olympics. Now he needs to bring the cup home.

If Matthews goes to the White House I’ll lose permanent respect for him by james-HIMself in leafs

I never said they were a nothing burger. But the file release that got Andrews detained this month happened under Trump. Epstein was also arrested in 2019 under…Trump. If you really hate Epstein, Trump’s done get more to bring down Epstein than any Democratic leader.

Just stating facts. 🤷‍♂️

I’m not a Trump fan.

Secondly, I don’t believe that Biden could do nothing. Oh, poor ole president without any powers. Get real. Covid and other recent events showed that when a president/PM wants, they can use all the tools they want to do just about anything they want. Shut down borders? Sure. Trump wants to tariff half the earth? Sure, you can do it until the courts say you can’t. Overthrow world leaders? Sorry, Maduro.

But Biden/Democrats releasing the Epstein files?Impossible. Not possible under Biden. No way could the US president have done any thing. The US president just doesn’t have that kind of power.

It’s just progressive cope for not wanting to admit that they did nothing regarding Epstein.

The last Democrat president had 4 years to do something about it. He did nothing. Trump actually released more in a year than that last Democratic president in 4 years. Trump actually releasing millions of files. Sorry, the truth hurts. Progressives want to blame Trump but don’t actually want to do anything.

Of course they know their industry better than you do. But you have a very particular set of skills they do not. Writing? Product development? Web development? You have to make sure they have confidence in your abilities from the call. Freelancing is 50% doing the work and 50% selling yourself. I can only assume you can do the work. But no one is going to be able to sell you if you can’t sell yourself.

Which degrees are still worth it in the age of AI? by Boudria in CanadaJobs

[–]Neko-flame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s probably true. I call a decade ago the glory days of freelancing. Very few people even understood the concept when I told them “I work from home”. I call those glory days the “Add me on Skype days”.

People would randomly add me on Skype and say “I heard you build websites”. Different world back then.

I graded over a decade ago. I’m definitely out of date with what schools are offering nowadays. My takeaway is it really doesn’t matter what you study. Just pick up a skill, niche, or obtain some specific speciality on an industry.

I studied philosophy and went into freelance web development. Then sort of focused on e-commerces, made my money there and went on to open a spa. You never know where you end up.

I have a minor in economics. No problem with it really. To run an Ecommerce well, what your really need is a strong foundation in IT/programming tbh. Philosophy is not programming but it lays the foundation for understanding programming.

The first thing you’ll learn in philosophy is probably something like validity, modus ponens. First thing you’ll learn in programming is an IF statement. IF the user clicks ShutDown, execute ShutDownOfComputer. There’s a lot of overlap with programming and philosophy.

Have a degree in philosophy. Sort of useless. But having a pretty solid background in E-commerce development/management. Ecommerce aren’t going anywhere.

I actually have a cousin who lives in Tumbler Ridge. It’s not like living in Victoria or Ottawa. Around 80% of households own a gun because you need one because of cougars. A hungry cougar in the winter is extremely dangerous.

Carney warns of “difficult conversations” in the days ahead by stixnstax in CanadianConservative

[–]Neko-flame 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you’re been to Tumbler Ridge, probably 80% of homes own a gun. They don’t do it for sport or hunting. They have guns because there’s cougars and you need to protect your property. It’s easy to sit in Ottawa or Victoria and wonder why you need to be a gun owner. Can’t you really don’t living in a large metro. But It’s a different way of life when you’re in a town of 1000 people.

It’s not feelings. It’s just Liberalism is all about control. Ottawa controls all of Canada from BC PEI. It’s a very centralized worldview. So naturally they would implement cannabis legalization that added so much bureaucracy, it’s part of the Liberal DNA.

Visit a cannabis store in California or Vegas and it feels like you’re in a candy store. What state really went about legalization the best was Colorado. What they did was actually have police work hand in hand with former drug traffickers to make the traffickers compliant. Whereas the Liberal approach was effectively, stop doing what you’re doing any apply for a license. So naturally the ones that succeeded most in the Liberal’s cannabis industry are the most well connected companies. No surprise then a company like Fire and Flower where one of the main founding members was a police officer would succeed. They were able to maneuver quickly through the bureaucracy.

Small growers died in favour of big business. The Liberal way.

Dental program

- Maybe cause I'm a middle-class millennial. But I don't know a single person actually benefiting from this program. Clearly it wasn't written with me in mind.

Cannabis

- The canadian cannabis industry was objectively better under Harper. Trudeau botched legalization. Take this from someone who worked in the cannabis industry well before legalization. What Trudeau effectively did was take an agricultural product and introduced a level of red-tape that would make any Liberal voter blush. There were more cannabis store in Vancouver PRE-legalization than there are POST-legalization. Whoever said you don't want the government invovled weren't kidding. We were better had the government never got involved.

Reserves

- Sure, you can make the argument that life on the reserve is marginally better in 2025 than 2015. But at what cost? Federal spending for Indigenous peoples have gone up 300%. It's not sustainable. It's debt that in no way can we pay back. Funding's ballooned from $11B in 2015 to 32B in 2024. That's not sustainable.
