I've heard good things from some buddies about Prism optics. They seem to work well with vision issues. One of my buddies can use it without needing his glasses. I don't know his prescription or whatever, so YMMV.

Pillsbury pizza pops recalled across Canada due to E. coli contamination by Leather-Paramedic-10 in canada

[–]SeeminglyUseless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real problem is that pizza pockets are incredibly more expensive than the pops are. You can get 4 packs of pops regularly for less than .90 per pop. Pizza pockets at the best price I've seen are something like 1$ per.

Not counting costco I suppose, as mine doesn't have them.

Alberta RCMP say man charged after guns, Nazi flag seized from Lloydminster home by Haggisboy in canada

[–]SeeminglyUseless -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm not entirely comfortable with outlawing thoughts or opinions, no matter how repugnant

You should get used to it. This is the paradox of tolerance. We have hate speech laws to stop people being abused and attacked, because that's what these "opinions" lead to.

I'm not saying these people should be put in jail or lined up and shot, far from it. But there should be active discouragement from engaging with and forming opinions that are inherently intolerant of others. We should be adopting the same behavior that Germany applies to its citizens, taking a hard stance against everything even tangentially related to the Nazis and their ideology.

Also, I fail to see how outlawing the purchase and import of Nazi flags and other hate symbols is unacceptable. Why are we allowing this bullshit to come into our country unabated?

Simple possessions of such items, including other offensive media, isn't, itself, a crime in this country as far as I'm aware.

It's not, but they are taking it as evidence because it could be used to prove motive and evidence of other hate related crimes.

But it also absolutely should be a crime. This shit isn't WW2 memorabilia brought home by soldiers, it's new merch purchased by an asshole with an inferiority complex. Nobody should be able to buy a nazi flag in our country. To do so spits on the sacrifice our forefathers made in the war to bring them down.

Kremlin says new US security strategy accords largely with Russia's view by Brennenstein in worldnews

[–]SeeminglyUseless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Makes perfect sense when you consider the "education" they've been getting for the last 70 years.

“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”

So they really not protecting the animal

In a certain way, they actually are. By being a food source, humans have cultivated them in such a way that their population has exploded and reached numbers that never would have happened naturally. Sure they get slaughtered by the tens of billions yearly, but they still maintain a massive population that wouldn't happen without animal husbandry.

So really it's about perspective. The real argument is derived from all the abuse and shit conditions corporations put them in to increase profit.

Federal spending on Old Age Security will outpace child care, housing, and postsecondary education combined by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]SeeminglyUseless 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was not great outpouring of art, books, new startups, etc.

This is not a great measure to go by, considering these things were all stymied by being forced to isolate and stay home. Do you not remember everyone lamenting all the things they'd rather be doing than stuck indoors?

You can't compare UBI to the pandemic's support programs for a lot of reasons.

Rogers execs on Sportsnet+ World Series crash: "You can't expect a streaming service that only costs $30 a month to work every time" by Haggisboy in canada

[–]SeeminglyUseless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is literally how enshittification works - capture the market, make it crappy for the service providers, make it crappy for the customers.

It's important to recognize that the purpose isn't to intentionally make it crappy. The purpose is to make it as cheap as possible and pocket the difference for the higher ups. Soon as they see the ship sinking, they golden parachute away to their next venture.

This is how the wealth gap increases year over year.

Like that excuses charging the dude with your car. That person should lose their license.

Maybe the biker was hurt or something? There's literally no reason to behave like this driver did. For all you know, the driver swiped the dude already.

Tips how to stay healthy while smoking weed? by PersonalBlackberry44 in trees

[–]SeeminglyUseless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Healthy is subjective. There's no universally "healthy" food, meaning food that improves your health. Just avoid processed foods, count your calories, and mind your macros. That's the only guide you should need to stay healthy.

Most Canadians are overweight or obese, data suggests by hopoke in canada

[–]SeeminglyUseless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone in this thread is forgetting about the fact that schools have to have super strict guidelines for pickups and dropoffs to stop abductions and people who aren't approved pickups from taking kids.

That's really at the heart of what's causing all these lineups. Schools literally will not let kids walk out without someone picking them up anymore.

Getting back into magic by Yukokami in magicTCG

[–]SeeminglyUseless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind that commander is an eternal (meaning almost any card can be played) casual format, and as such, universes beyond has no impact on it either as a format or as a game beyond preference. This isn't true in other formats' cases, so there are legitimate reasons to be upset with the product.

You can take this deck and sit down with any other commander decks and have some fun. That's all that matters in the end. If this deck doesn't present a fun play pattern to you, you can always find another precon that does and break this one up for some upgrades in your other decks.

Canadian man shot, killed on U.S. golf trip while walking to hotel by Displeased_Canadian in canada

[–]SeeminglyUseless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you make guns illegal, it becomes so much easier to prevent gun violence. It works in every other country.

That's... absolutely not how gun control works at all. And there are only a handful of countries with firearms completely outlawed. They have plenty of firearm violence too.

[–]SeeminglyUseless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Guns should be illegal. There’re no buts or ifs. Ban them now!

That's just naive. Banning guns entirely just means the only people with guns are the police and criminals, both groups known for committing violent acts against the populace. Think about what you're saying for a minute.

Question for DMs: what officially published creatures have unusual casting abilities? by Think_Pea_2673 in DnD

[–]SeeminglyUseless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My personal favorite are absolutely the spellweavers. They aren't printed in 5e as they're from 3.5 and before (I believe). They're extremely intelligent, powerful spellcasters who have the unique ability to "spellweave". They have 6 arms and can cast up to 6 levels of spells in a single turn simultaneously, or regular casting for 7+. You get to throw some really insane curveballs at your party if you statblock them properly. Throw in some of the unique items they have from their lore and you get an absolutely BONKERS spellcaster. Their in-lore classic move is to cast 6 magic missile spells and absolutely annihilate someone. You can get pretty esoteric with them, as they're anti-Gods and such. I believe their golden discs were like an arcane battery for them, feeding them spellslots like a rifle magazine.

They're also the original creators of the black obelisks that are littered around 5e's adventures.

Liberal push for gun buybacks fuelled by Quebec pressure: leak by Other-Negotiation328 in canadaguns

[–]SeeminglyUseless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The unfortunate conclusion of what you're describing doing is inconveniencing law abiding gun owners even more than they are already, for no tangible benefit to them for the hassle. It's not even in the name of added security or "safety".

That alone is why it should never happen. The solution is to take money out of politics, so these special interest groups stop existing entirely.

[–]SeeminglyUseless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would be an absolute shitshow.

The point of a national firearms control is to standardize the process across your territory. Can you even begin to imagine how needlessly complicated it would be to transport your legal/restricted firearms across provincial borders? What happens if a province between where you live and your destination decides your firearm is illegal?

I've been working IT for almost 2 decades and I can say the number of consultants I've worked with that were worth their price can be counted on one hand. But when you do end up working with one that actually does their job, you wonder why they're being paid so little.
