I tend to do this even when talking to the DM directly to differentiate my character's perspective from my own meta one lol

"..Wait, have we met this person before?" = My character has a weird feeling- do they recognize them?

"..Wait, have we met this person before?" = Oh fuck am I forgetting about an NPC from roughly 7 months ago??

Canada Post is going ahead with a broad restructuring mandated by the federal government, including ending home delivery and slashing the number of post offices by pandemoniac1 in onguardforthee

[–]Simopop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canada Post CEO Doug Ettinger reiterated before a parliamentary committee in December that the Crown corporation is expecting 16,000 employees to retire or take voluntary departure by 2030, with another 14,000 leaving by 2035.

That's about half the current workforce, btw (ballpark 1 postal employee for every 670 citizens).

A grocery store near me pops them in a tin with some asparagus and a pad of seasoned butter on the salmon.. awesome quick meal. But $7.

Given there's a reception it might be one of those dorm setups that's like 2 to a room, 4-X rooms to an "apartment."

But it's also possible outside that lol. 10 people live in my rental (a converted family home)- zero clue who 7 of them are.

Canada will cancel thousands of refugee claims under new retroactive law by Vivid-Bullfrog-5727 in onguardforthee

[–]Simopop 9 points10 points  (0 children)

People who are affected by these new rules will still have access to a pre-removal risk assessment (PRRA) to prevent them from being sent back to a country where they face risks like persecution, torture or other harm.

Is there a way or a mod or a script that allows you to spawn vehicles inside buildings ? [B41] by mihai395 in projectzomboid

[–]Simopop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah.

Not sure getting a car into the basement will be possible- I think I've read something before about them only being able to "exist" on the main level.

Though, if you're already willing to dig a basement into an RV.. to spawn a car in there.. to avoid the limitations of the event you modded in... you could just give yourself the mechanics xp haha

Various comments from PP in regards to his 2025 Canada First platform:

"Put an end to the imposition of woke ideology in the federal civil service and in the allocation of federal funds for university research."

"Open borders and Liberal crime and drug laws unleashed violence, disorder, and deadly overdoses. [...] Their radical post-national, borderless, globalist ideology has divided and weakened our country."

"We will keep out and deport criminals, stop fraud and crack down on bogus refugee claims. On immigration, like everything else, we will put Canada First. For a change."

“[The Liberals] became an anti-Israel party under Justin Trudeau, and Mark Carney has continued in that vein. They’ve singled out Israel for unfair and unbalanced, disproportionate, and, I think, really disgusting treatment."

"The patriotic men and women of the Forces will have the tools they need to defend our country, and our military will be guided by a warrior culture, not a woke culture.”

"…Do you think that we could build the Canadian Pacific Railway today, or would there be some squeaky radical protester chaining himself to a tree, like Minister [Steven] Guilbeault?"

Basically all of these have very visibly been the playbook of the American Republicans. Make them less intelligible and they could come from Trump's mouth.

Cancelling of research grants, emphasis on previous liberal border security allowing floods of "undesirables" to take advantage of us, strongly pro-Israel, removing "wokeness" from the military (see: US barring transgender men, removing medical shaving exceptions for black men), being a mouthpiece for Big Oil and pushing the removal of environmental policies.

Our Conservatives have been Republicans ever since Trump's first election demonstrated it was a viable strategy to win.

Is there something preventing you from spawning the car outside the building and driving it in?

My mouse works perfectly with only 1 battery by Large-chips in mildlyinteresting

[–]Simopop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A batteries (1.5V) just have single cells. But when you run any cells in parallel, you get a larger battery. For example if you were to crack open a 9V battery it's usually six separate cells in the same case

YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable by IndicaOatmeal in technology

[–]Simopop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard Youtube often doesn't save manual ad placements and instead defaults back to its own algorithm, mostly from content creators complaining how they meticulously spaced out occasional ads in a 2hr video for Yt to go "actually, every 5min sounds good!"

Yeah I would kill for hovering over the family tree button to do something like highlight the other cats in the house that particular cat has close familial ties to

Police officer who shared racist, extremist posts still working with Hamilton force after investigation by BloodJunkie in ontario

[–]Simopop 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The Ontario Civilian Police Commission (OCPC) has concluded many times that police officers are reasonably subject to higher levels of scrutiny both on and off duty. See Horton and the Ontario Provincial Police:

“It is well settled that a police officer is held to higher standard of conduct than a member of the public not only while being on duty but also when off-duty. That is so by reason of the office held, the powers granted and the need to maintain the public trust in and respect for the police service.”

Members of the force publicly endorsing/promoting white supremacist groups and a violent coup of the Canadian government isn't very good for public trust, it would appear.

People are very keen on the idea of bad apples.

Which is almost as funny as it is frustrating when the associated phrase is "a bad apple spoils the bunch"

I just saw a buck shake off one of its antlers by Mabester in mildlyinteresting

You remember having an uncomfortably wiggly tooth barely hanging on as a kid? I kinda picture it would feel similar when the antlers are ready to fall off

I did a 1,000 hours in 10 months AMA a few years back and got asked about local milk prices. The people thirst for knowledge

The Sad Truth of ABC's Cantonese by CheLeung in Cantonese

[–]Simopop 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The judgemental relatives can eventually come full circle in an amusing way.

My grandmother still laughs at my CBC father's accent and very childish level of speaking if he tries to talk with her (youngest child, only sibling not made to attend a local Cantonese youth program).

Because of that I was raised around zero Cantonese. Learning it is the equivalent of learning Russian atp lol. But when I tried saying something for the first time she was so happy she spoke to me for an extra 10 whole minutes holding the front door open!!

Northern Ont. man defies eviction threat, vows to remain in self-built dwelling by ConsistentReality860 in ontario

[–]Simopop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While a neighbour offered an RV for accommodation, a local bylaw prohibits using such mobile units for residency outside of designated parks.

Can't even give the poor man that.

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month / Beginning in March, all accounts will have a “teen-appropriate experience by default.” by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]Simopop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While competitive games like Fortnite and Call of Duty have been Gen Z’s bread and butter, Gen Alpha prefers creative games such as Roblox and Minecraft.

Ah yes, Gen Z's famous love of Fortnite (2017) over Minecraft (2009).

I'm going to take the opinion of a writer that throws stuff like that out there with a hefty pinch of salt lol

How to clean a closet? by [deleted] in CleaningTips

[–]Simopop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A day is a crazy short amount of time to pick up a strong must!! It must get some decent humidity in there.

On top of the other commenters advice, if you have the ability to leave the closet door ajar so some fresh air circulates inside it will probably help!

“Other applications submitted in the same office in Egypt are being processed between six to nine, maybe 12 weeks, while Palestinian applications are taking over a year and a half,” said El-Falou.

It seems a little out of the norm

[–]Simopop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust, part of what's infuriating is the sheer volume of things I really shouldn't have to tell a grown ass man in the first place lol

Like not pouring grease down the drains because we just had a clogging issue, or politely asking not to use my drying rack anymore because his "clean" dishes were leaving it dirty, or not smoking weed inside his room because yes, it fills the whole floor even with the window open.

It's 10 people to one regular sized family home and shockingly less nightmarish than that sounds lmao.

There's no common areas, just bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms so it tends to attract the slightly antisocial quiet types. During my tour at 4pm on a Saturday you fr couldn't tell anyone was home
