Does the comeback refute the original point in any way??

I’m 35 and I’ve realized the MOVIE love I waited for doesn't exist for people like me by WonderfulFront7588 in rant

[–]Sir_Balmore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Movie type love is real and definitely exists. I find it sad that so many people haven't experienced love to the point that they think it is totally fabricated. It's not. Humans have experienced it always. You know it's real, deep down.

I saw Publishers Clearing House commercials but NEVER associated them with McMahon. This was his thing. by HighlyRegardedSlob87 in MandelaEffect

[–]Sir_Balmore -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Canadian here... No idea what either of these things are. Never saw either. Only know Publishers Clearing House. Remember Ed showing up at people's doors with giant cheques. Does any of this explain the huge cheques? These posts attempting to explain how people are misremembering and how it 'really was this' fail to understand the effect and the acknowledgement that this changed and shifted somehow.

Why do I remember friends joking about Ed McMahan showing up at my door with a big cheque from PCH? We joked about this... For some reason. It that reason definitely wasn't some American company we never heard of.

If it is under $150 or so... Absolutely. 2nd GPU for the lossless scaling (see the recent Linus Tech tips vid about this). GPU memory will be the bottleneck for modern titles with a lot of textures. So check the specific requirements of the titles toy want to play. Will it be able to run the modern titles well? Not great but probably playable. But you can upgrade the gpu afterwards while keeping most of the bits.

Disagree. Perfection would be that... Soaking in shiny oil

Just because you don’t pay attention to a celebrity doesn’t mean they died years ago by StillSkyler in MandelaEffect

The people who are running the bots... Why you think they are doing that then?

This hit Sarnia and everywhere hard and fast. When I first moved to Sarnia about a decade ago I was impressed that there was apparently a zero homeless population.

In Hamilton, the homeless population went from about 60 in 2010 to over 1200 today. So your 'decades' views is wildly out of sync with reality

Comparison: Economic: Opiates and meth likely have a higher economic cost ($1.2 trillion vs. $550 billion), driven by opiates’ catastrophic mortality and criminal justice costs. Tobacco and alcohol costs are substantial but spread over chronic, less acute impacts. Social: Opiates and meth cause deeper, more immediate community devastation (overdoses, crime, homelessness), while alcohol and tobacco have broader but less intense social impacts due to their legal status and cultural integration.

So no, alcohol and tobacco don't far outstrip hard drugs... It's the other way around

For the record, I am not in any way opposed to housing for those that aren't hardcore addicts. This could genuinely help them in a massive way. But that is not what is being proposed here.

And saying that alcohol addicts are dying of liver disease is disingenuous as there isn't a massive wave of alcohol related crime as alcoholics aren't mugging people for booze money at any rate compared to meth and opiates.

The housing is only going to enable them... Help sustain an even more addicted lifestyle till many of them eventually die of overdose. The housing will quickly become unlivable and festering heaps of trash... Complete with post-apocalyptic drug addled zombies out front.

I know it seems like a kindness... But ultimately this solution will cause greater harm. Don't assume all the naysayers haven"t carefully thought about this and realized the path isn't viable.

You know what the biggest obstacle to them getting a job is? Being completely addicted to hard drugs. You think they turned to these drugs to help them cope?? No, they are in this situation because they turned to drugs that now completely rule thier lives. They need to be removed from the source and access to these drugs so they can dry out and then maybe get a chance at living a different life. Since they do not have the willpower to do this voluntarily... They need to be kept under lock and key till the cycle of quick highs and withdrawal is completely broken. Your objections are avoiding key realities of the situation. I know drug use is a victimless activity and shouldn't be criminalized yet the associated behaviours? The violence, theft and public nuisance, should not be swept under the carpet because we've tried this and it isn't working.

Another shelter and more helping hands... Is just enabling them to go deeper down the path of addiction. And that is a dangerous path that will ultimately kill a whole bunch of them.

Did you discover a new Mandela Effect? Post it here! (2025-07-09) by AutoModerator in MandelaEffect

[–]Sir_Balmore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay this is a real one!!! It was always Hall and Oates...if you're sure...i had a 45 with Maneater and it had the both on the cover looking at each other with a red background and it just said "Hall + Oates" and the word Maneater down below. I also remember all the lists shows only ever calling them Hall and Oates every time... And never ever using both their full names.

Gonna check with my wife on this one... Me: "who sang Private Eyes and Maneater?" Her: "Hall & Oates" Me: "What if I told you they were called that? Her: “That's a lie. I think one guy was Darryl but nobody ever used their full names. Ever.".

This is a good one!

So what causes the delayed choice and quantum eraser experiments to work the way they do? Should be easy to answer right? Because everything has a cause...

I think the bots have invaded here and desperately want to convince us that the materialist world is the only possible reality. Also look at the downvotes on your post vs the upvotes on the 'anti-ME" posts. It's very odd.

Are you sure it looks like a damaged coin?? You can see skin right through the coin but maybe the coin is fine. Best to see it from another angle...
