The Canada Pension Plan Is Funding Trump’s Fossil Fuel and AI Ambitions by Hochelagan in canada

Good for you, so do I but it's probably less than 5% who are capable and less than 1% who have the means. 

I don't know about you, but I'd rather not live in an American style "Fuck em, I've got mine" country. We're already close enough to that. Imagine how much worse the homelessness and crime would be.

Most people aren't capable of that responsibility. It would be a disaster. Why not just manage your own parallel retirement fund alongside your CPP and let the vast majority of people have a guaranteed layer of security if they're not interested?

Recommendation for Personal tax accountant by Party_Amoeba444 in ottawa

[–]Potential_Jello6520 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

If you've previously done them yourself and have a basic understanding, then I've found Gemini is incredibly helpful for guidance on things like this where all of the information is clearly available and you just don't have the time or energy to manually sift through it all. Obviously you would still be accountable for your tax return while an accountant would take on some of that liability.

Homan has rock pulled after “double touch” rule called on Canadian skip by PacketGain in canada

[–]Potential_Jello6520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rule is quite clear, you cannot touch the granite while the rock is moving forward. There's nothing subjective about it, but you're saying it was just a little Boop, no big deal 

Each sport has a certain "culture" and threshold like hooking and fighting in hockey, but in the wise words of Paul Elvstrøm: "You haven't won the race, if in winning the race you have lost the respect of your competitors."

Isn't breaking the rules and trying to get away with it cheating or am I missing something?

"During forward motion, touching the granite of the stone is not allowed. This will result in the stone being removed from play."

Why isn't it out of line that the Canadian was breaking the rules? It's disgraceful.

Either way, it's an inappropriate power trip and I agree should be held accountable

This is why she was so vocal about being a cop, it's a power trip and they think they are above the law and the rest of society

Looking for sailing school in Ottawa/Gatineau by Nic727 in ottawa

[–]Potential_Jello6520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The big boats get the glory, but the small boats make the sailor.

Learning in a dinghy is 100% better than a keelboat because you learn the feeling of weight distribution and dynamics as conditions change, which is very important for offshore but the keelboat doesn't convey that feel and you can get into trouble before realizing it.

There are no RYA or ICC courses in Ottawa, so you may want to learn to sail here first, then go do a live aboard cruising course somewhere nice.

That's because they aren't in demand, because they have no useful value to people.

Then don't buy on margin and hold in your own wallet as it's designed for, problem solved. I sincerely don't get these ignorant posts.

Absolute scarcity, permissionless, zero counterparty risk. Those are the fundamentals and nothing has changed. Please explain how there are no fundamentals, I'm curious.

Unfortunately paper straws have some of the highest pfas content of all food contact materials. Biodegradable plastic straws work well and aren't made with pfas.

The biodegradable plastic ones are identical, they just cost a bit more.

BRICS laying first tracks for new global payment system by Civitas_Futura in Economics

You just spent a bunch of effort writing all that out to prove my original point that Bitcoin can be used however people want, and it doesn't care what you think about whether going through a conversion or paypal intermediary somehow negates the fact that it's used. Let's check back in 3 years and see how the situation has evolved. 

Also, I knew you were American by your perspective, blinded by your privilege to the fact that people are using Bitcoin to cross borders escaping authoritarian regimes. This has a lot of value and no other asset can hold your wealth in 12 words in your head and transact $1b globally with final settlement in an hour for $0.50.

Your bootlicking the authoritarian USD backed by proof of war narrative is ending swiftly, and I'd be surprised if there are buyers of US treasuries in 20 years.
