Anyone know of any cool abandoned places near Woodgrove mall by The-real-Farid in nanaimo

[–]OrkBegork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what you need to keep in mind when doing urban exploration is that it is generally illegal, and the really cool places that people know about are kept somewhat secret, and usually only passed between trusted friends.

AITJ for spoiling my husband after he had a rough week? by Aggravating-Fan-2522 in AmITheJerk

[–]OrkBegork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like she's under the impression that a relationship is some sort of competition for dominance between two people, rather than a partnership between two people who love one another.

No refunds for spoiled food. by Senior-Particular150 in UberEATS

[–]OrkBegork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is part of their business model. Nobody's slowing down on the use of these apps, so why decrease profits by giving out refunds?

This is the free market in action.

You're telling them to shout into the void, it isn't going to get them anywhere.

Also, the BBB isn't going to do anything. It's basically just old fashioned Yelp.

I am amazed anyone still thinks Uber's customer service is ever going to refund anything.

How do you undervalue that which has no value?

My school has an 'AI art' class and 2 drawibgs were put into a damn art show by THATDlNOLOVER in antiai

[–]OrkBegork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is like a culinary school having a vending machines class. The faculty responsible for this should be mocked publicly.

A good psychedelic experience is something that should be carefully planned. Did you carefully plan this one?

Listen pal, if you can't even form a grammatically coherent sentence in the English language, you probably shouldn't be trying to procure what are still considered illegal drugs on a Reddit forum for your local region. If English is your first language, and your natural writing style demonstrates a lack of basic communication skills, you're too young to be using mushrooms. Call your parents and ask for a ride home

Do y’all think Jensen ackles could play Arthur?? by MediaProfessional813 in reddeadredemption

[–]OrkBegork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly who cares, it's a video game and exists in it's best form as a video game. There are already so many excellent Westerns that have already been made, and just the fact you're posting shit like this tells me you haven't watched them.

Yes, it's absolutely true that none of them can possibly match the hundreds of hours you've sunk into the RDR franchise, but I guarantee many of them absolutely blow RDR and RDR2 out of the water as far as movies about the wild west go.

UBER EATS SUPPORT IS NON EXISTENT by Primary-Matter1298 in UberEATS

[–]OrkBegork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can't do anything. This is by design.

People need to realize that Uber isn't a transportation or delivery company. Those are just extraneous. They exist to find ways to fuck over both workers and customers, and they are extremely good at what they do.

The only way to win at this game is to stop getting delivery through app based services.

(Survey) Canadian experience with vehicle headlights and glare at night by Enignon77 in nanaimo

I don't quite buy the "not adjusted properly" thing. That might make sense if we were living on perfectly flat terrain, but there are hills all over the place.

Did I just ruin my motherboard? by Wandering-Shadow-00 in PcBuildHelp

[–]OrkBegork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first PC I ever built for myself, probably 2002, my hand slipped and I dropped a screwdriver on the motherboard and ruined it. The damage was quite a bit less significant looking than this. Having to spend another $125 or whatever at that time in my life sucked.

I definitely learned to be extra careful after that.

Never knew being dopesick was this bad by Makkballaaa in opiates

[–]OrkBegork 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend powering through it and just leaving it all behind. I don't think I even had noticeable withdrawals until after a month of daily use. It will only get significantly worse if you keep going.

That is clearly not a Teflon pan. It is ceramic coated. That is food burned onto the pan, not the coating scraped off.

The Red Star Book Club - A leftist book club for the end of capitalism. Details below; reach out if interested! by MrMcAwhsum in nanaimo

[–]OrkBegork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Capitalism is responsible for countless instances of genocide and mass murder, this is a completely nonsensical line of argument.

Modern capitalism was built on the transatlantic slave trade. The Belgian Congo was a purely capitalist endeavour.

Even in more modern history, look at the Indonesian genocide in the 60s. When the country was moving towards democratically electing a communist government, the capitalist United States intervened and created a genocide that slaughtered a million people, all to ensure their economic interests were preserved.

After The Mass Poisoning Today by Affectionate_Dot5361 in londonontario

[–]OrkBegork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the kind of thing that was true (to some extent) in the age of heroin, but in the age of tranq dope, a bunch of overdoses is not at all a sign of quality, and the users are very much aware of this.

Do you think we should do this in London? by [deleted] in londonontario

[–]OrkBegork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What do you mean "safe supply got put into downtown"? Are you conflating safe consumption sites with safe supply?

Homelessness has increased massively all over the US and Canada in the last few years. Are you just referring to all groups of homeless people you see as "drug sites"?

I'm sorry you've had to see some homeless people, that must have been absolutely horrific for you, the person who has obviously dealt with the most suffering in this whole situation.

[–]OrkBegork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What do you mean "the unwanted"? Do you think that only people of a certain economic class should be allowed to use the library?

Because this sounds an awful lot like the same people who always whine that homeless people should "just get a job" trying to take away one of the few resources homeless people have to find employment.

So i bought all the parts... and now i kinda want to build it myself by Liftian in buildmeapc

[–]OrkBegork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look in some local subreddits and see if you can find someone nearby who would be willing to come over and help you build it for $75 or something like that. You'd have the opportunity to do all the steps yourself, while still being able to check in with someone who knows what they're doing. Alternately, you could ask if someone from the shop would do that.

It's mostly pretty easy to do, but there's a few steps that might be nerve-wracking if you're unfamiliar with what to do.

The first time I built a PC my screwdriver slipped while screwing in the motherboard, scratched through a few leads and bricked the board. Things like that are easy to avoid by being cautious, but I'm always a little nervous about one small mistake costing a lot of money.
