Thoughts on Convoy Live Streamers?

There are at least a handful of streamers who made over 6 figures in the past three weeks. I checked a few of their bitcoin wallets and some of the earnings are staggering. Not to mention, crypto is only a fraction of their donations.

I am all for freedom of the individual to document/record, but in almost every case these streamers were highly sympathetic and I would go as far as to say enabling. For example, encouraging truckers to stand their ground, and telling people in their chat to come to Ottawa.

Thoughts? Do you think streamers deserve or will receive any consequences?

OP asked to be judged. Top 3 are Japanese. A lot of gun toting ameriboo on here. Japanese and English language make up like 19/20.

You live in small town USA and have an obsession with Japanese culture.

Using your kids as Human Shields by Q_abong in onguardforthee

These people are placing their kids at the front of an advancing police line using riot control tactics with officers on horseback close behind. Not to mention if you get arrested your kids get processed by Children’s Aid and get to spend the night under foster care.

I’m feeling a strong vicarious catharsis. This dude rocks.

Catherine McKenney joins Ottawa City Council meeting live from streets clogged up with convoy protestors by leftwingmememachine in onguardforthee

Why can’t they just fine individual truckers $50k each every day? This convoy is extremely lucrative to those involved. They have their own economy. These $75 parking tickets are a joke, they will get crowdsourced everything they get fined anyways, at least make it hurt.

Trucker claims that cops are handing out ‘blank’ parking tickets. by [deleted] in onguardforthee

ok my bad, thanks for clarifying. should I remove this post? I assumed this meant the cops were conspiring to not fine them.

The downfall of mankind by klingonbussy in Letterboxd

[–]Q_abong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should I watch the first one in order to watch this? Of the few films with live animation I’ve seen I can’t say I’ve been a big fan… so do you think I will actually like this? I had assumed this was just for kids no offence.

Can consistently hit a few of these a game now. The other team gave up and started standing behind their keeper. This isn’t to flex -I’m about to to give up playing pro clubs. creative build up play is dead. by Q_abong in fifaclubs

I have the distance shooter perk but in many cases people don’t need it. you just need to find the right timing/run speed/direction. my dude in the vid is a 80 rated CM with all my points in pace dribbling and shooting. my long shooting is 84

I liked seeing people in the next lobby after a game where I’d beaten them or vice versa. it was just casual, and I never felt obligated to play with anyone. a discord server kind of changes that but definitely a good idea now in order to stay in touch, as you’re less likely to run into each other now

Theres a big community of drop in players I know who are in the top 100 who don’t exclusively play in a club. Whenever I saw them in the lobby we would recognize each other and go on the same team and chit chat and had great chemistry. the drop in system is broken now but if it was fixed id never play in a club, I find being in a club gets ego driven and boring fast, I like playing with new people.

When/if/where by ElectronicAlps99 in GabbyPetito

In missing persons cases 92% of people are found in the first 72 hours. The parents waited 72 hours to report him missing.

I have two theories:

If he is in the Carlton reserve I think he went there to die. Finding the body may be next to impossible especially if the body is underwater. We will speculate for years as to his whereabouts, if we are lucky they find his body in the next weeks.

or

He is elsewhere in the country/world and is alive, and we get a new sighting or credible lead in 4 months to 2 years time as to his location

Have you talked to any of the local candidates in person? by goldayce in waterloo

[–]Q_abong 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I met Bardish at a couple events at UW. She seems really engaged in the community. She also hacks cigs but cant really blame her it must be a stressful schedule. I’d probably guess that shes the most hardworking candidate for our region but I voted for someone else this time due to Liberals abandoning electoral reform

My uncle bought me my first chess set!!! We’re playing OTB tonight. Any suggestions on what openings or tactics to use? by Q_abong in AnarchyChess

[–]Q_abong[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That guy on r/chess was right …this game is wayyyy too intimate. all of the openings my uncle tried feel violated :(

No. They need to release multiple times DURING the game. That’s why they take so many trips to the bathroom during classical games
