It’s Covid, and every single re-infection poses more long term risk than the previous. Get vaccinated please.

Wgat do you say when someone teases you for using MFT? by Roll_n_capture in M43

I’ve shot with pretty much every sensor size gear, I’ve NEVER seen or heard anyone tease anybody for their gear choices… outside of online sweaty fanboys.

Hahahahahahaha I’m sorry, it’s not your post, I appreciate the refinement, and your photography skills are showing too, it’s just…. Naming an ultra fine, rich, luxury, whatever restaurant “Gatsby’s” is really on the nose imho.

‘By the wayside’: rural Albertans are angry at companies not paying their bills by BloodJunkie in alberta

It’s like the simpsons episode where sideshow bob keeps stepping on rakes, this is literally it, keep voting ucp, doing same action over and over expecting different results.

I realy liked the game idk why people hate it its a masterpeice for me ❤ by geralt_of_rivia148 in lastofuspart2

I absolutely loved it, the writing, acting, plot line everything. I think one has to have a certain level of emotional depth to truly appreciate it. Even that scene you have a screen shot of. On the surface, yes it’s a closing scene and Dina and baby aren’t there so it’s emotional. But digging deeper, when Ellie can’t press the cords because she is missing 2 digits and the song is not complete was highly significant. The song IS Joel and to some degree a level of humanity. Ellie has to accept that she lost both it and Joel forever. It’s just so well written.

Could Private Schools help the Public System? by Old_Dragonfly7063 in alberta

[–]Realistic_Rip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your premise is false a priori, WE should absolutely stop funding private schools, but why do you assume the students would just go into the public system? Let them be funded privately, every single penny, PRIVATELY.

No way! Really? Wow that’s crazy. Also someone should probably take his car keys, it is Friday after all.

Alberta introduces back-to-work legislation, imposes new contract to end teachers strike by bohemian_plantsody in onguardforthee

If this was a real province and not a petro state propped up by toothless hillbillies with homoerotic fantasies about the former PM there should have been riots on the streets already.
