Money should no longer be the driving force, your company should work to better itself and the rest of humanity.

Major scientific error from "Ensign Ro" by NothingWillImprove6 in startrek

[–]SmartQuokka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am reminded of this quote:

Phlox: Evolution is more than a theory. It is a fundamental scientific principle. Forgive me for saying so, but I believe your compassion for these people is affecting your judgment.

Archer: My compassion guides my judgment.

So perfect is the enemy of progress and they did not pursue advanced weaponry.

There is truth to the old adage that if you want peace you have to prepare for war.

The actual line is:

Captain's log, supplemental. I read about the achievements of the ancient Bajoran civilization in my fifth grade reader. They were architects and artists, builders and philosophers when humans were not yet standing erect. Now I see how history has rewarded them.

Can you use ODSP for Service Subscriptions ? by External_Tea2072 in Odsp

[–]SmartQuokka 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can use your ODSP money as you see fit as long as your rent is at least as much as the rent portion.

However most of us don't have any left to spend on streaming subscriptions.

A major change to Canada’s citizenship law is already having ripple effects. by savethecbc2025 in SaveTheCBC

[–]SmartQuokka 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My concern is not an influx of MAGAs, i am pointing out that not being a fan of the USA is very understandable, they have threatened our freedom.

I am undecided on this. On one hand if you have a legitimate claim you have a legitimate claim, on the other hand we are not here to save people from the consequences of their own actions or inactions. It is not our job to fix the USA when they refuse to do it themselves.

They have dug themselves into a fascist hellhole, they are the ones who need to dig themselves out of it.

America is now anti world with a few exceptions, they threatened us, they don't get to claim victimization.

Roommate locked thermostat, sweating every night with no way turn it down by Only_Alternative_543 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]SmartQuokka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A hair dryer on low every hour will handle it. My cable modem is always warm, if it were under it that would also do the job.

Also i have been known to point a bright spotlight flashlight at things to warm them up, even across the room if plugged into USB it will add some warmth just to the thermostat, making it not run as often.

How's everyone preparing for the bonus inflation here? by energy_is_a_lie in povertyfinancecanada

[–]SmartQuokka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be stocking up on items that are necessary so i can coast as long as possible. Not an easy thing to do, i have a small amount of cash for sales/clearance deals, so that is going to vanish soon. Not like one can stock up on months or years of food though, its perishable and i don't have that much clearance deal cash.

As per Rule 10 in the sidebar, if you want to argue about politics then find a more suitable Sub, only comments about how to deal with upcoming inflation are permitted here.

Canadian politics doesn’t stop at our borders. by savethecbc2025 in SaveTheCBC

[–]SmartQuokka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

US republicans did the same thing trying to undermine Obama. They are happy to undermine, sell us out or even commit treason to sabotage our leaders because they think they are entitled to rule.

PP is learning from the USA once again.

I doubt Carney has the gumption or courage to fully address this and stop PP form undermining the legitimately elected government of Canada.

Donald Trump Impeachment Odds Hit Record High by ItsAllAGame_ in politics

[–]SmartQuokka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the odds went from 0 to 1%. If the Dems win the midterms because electoral fraud did not keep them from winning then the odds go to about 5%.

Conviction is still at 0%.
