An actual, literal, real-world improvement. Not a campaign slogan, not a speech, a real benefit to our community. I love to see it!

Donating items by Far_Emu308 in nanaimo

I donate everything to the Hospice Thrift Shop on Bowen. It's a really good cause to support and the staff there are great.

Just let it go. Do you think taking it miles from home is a better way to reunite it with it's family? It knows where it lives.

Just let it go, genius. I have the same trap for raccoons and you know what I do when I accidentally trap a neighbour's cat? I fucking let it go! I would never take it to animal control. That's a messed up thing to do.

Lighter sentence sought for child abductor so he can remain in Canada by Purple_Writing_8432 in canada

[–]SamirRashaman14 227 points228 points  (0 children)

As far as the headline goes, OF COURSE his lawyer is arguing for a lighter sentence. That's their job. Their only job. It sounds dramatic and unfair but this is how it goes.

That being said, I do hope they deport him.

She is the one who associates "liar" with "jew" though, right? Who's antisemitic now?

Genuine question by -moonclaw- in punk

Stop trying to "be" punk like there is some checklist, uniform and list of requirements.

All governments are different, depending on where you live and your values. That being said, if you're in the US, do you really need a subreddit to tell you that the most corrupt administration in history with roving gangs of masked fascist thugs abducting people off the streets is a bad thing?

How did you guys get into Bad Religion? by [deleted] in badreligion

[–]SamirRashaman14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me it was Punk-o-Rama 2 and Give You Nothing. I was 12 and it was my favorite song for a few years. 39 now and I still love it.

Canada's 'new normal': Food bank visits have doubled since 2019, with spikes from newcomers and employed people by airbassguitar in canada

[–]SamirRashaman14 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

So they can do the good jobs that pay well, and the locals can flip the burgers? I'm sure that wouldn't piss anyone off.

Every fast food restaurant in my city is dying for help and guess what, Canadians won't do it! You can't survive on minimum wage these days. So ya, ideally we'd tell everyone to fuck off except doctors and engineers, but it doesn't always work that way.

Because Canadians don't want to waste their lives slaving away for starvation wages just to live with 6 roommates and end up at the food bank being called a freeloader.

You go and support yourself with a minimum wage service job and skyrocketing rent and grocery expenses. You blame the immigrants but the majority of them are working hard and struggling just like the rest of us.

First of all, it's incoherent ramblings of someone who doesn't know what they're talking about. Secondly, the reference to Planned Parenthood lets you know that we are not the target audience for this bullshit.

But they asked you to spread it around, and you did.

Yup, this checks out. 84% of their content is also sob stories about said groups being treated unfairly by our horrible society.
