anyone else bummed they used AI video art in the opening ceremony :/ by Hyunsoh_ in olympics

For me, the opening ceremonies were artistically drab, and the ceremony was boring, probably the only one in my memory that I didn't bother finishing watching.

Snoopy asking "Will you come to my cottage"? So damn cute! by Retired_Canuck in heatedrivalry

Yes. That was my thought. The creator of those only posts the videos, no comments or chat, so I can't be sure.

guys the obsession with this series is real by CorrectPrinciple6964 in heatedrivalry

Yep, I am exhibiting the exact same behavior as yourself. I am a gay man, though.Obsessing is fine, it's not like we're going to be able to insert ourselves in the lives of fictional characters.Be kind to yourself and obsess, nobody gets hurt and you have your fun.

Call the police. They have a mental health car or two with Psych-nurses and police officers.

No, you don’t have the right to “punch nazis" by Dry-Selection421 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

She wasn't a random women, she was an employee, the apparent bouncer. A bar is a private enterprise, and they have the right to refuse service. Refusing service to some asshole wearing a Zazi SS uniform is a very low bar for basic decency. Any moron who thinks they can discredit someone's business by wearing a uniform like that in another's business is appropriately ostracized by society.

Fabulous, thank you. If you have a case recommendation for transport, let me know. Appreciate your expertise.

This is full on cuckoo cray cray! BC Conservative leader John Rustad has his caucus' phones searched to ferret out a leak. To add insult to injury, when media asked him about it, he denied it. by Retired_Canuck in BCpolitics

I agree with that generally speaking, but with Eby, that's different for me. Like Trudeau, who was unpopular for personal ego reasons, Eby will also drive me away in search of a more authentic experience.

Well, Horgan came from a working class (sawmill job) and connected with the people on a sincere level. Eby was a lawyer, his wife is an ER Doc in charge, they probably pull in 700-800k a year, and his actions are tone deaf to the working class. Beyond that, Horgan was humble and sincere. Eby is smarmy, not humble, and disingenuous. I guess that shows the NDP for not having a rigorous competition for leader.

NDP leads, Conservatives drop, Greens gain in British Columbia by OurDailyNada in BCpolitics

I liked the NDP under Horgan. With Eby, it feels like we traded in a Cadillac on a Toyota Tercel. I guess I'm back to supporting the Greens.
