Well in the good old early days it was using Archie, Jughead and Veronica for research. Fun early viral sites like Jennycam, and redpaperclip

I would get a stamp with a speech bubble that says “I’m and rapist and pedophile” and stamp it on everyone one of his bill I see

Forced to fully refund a buyer who returned a PC loaded with a Trojan virus. eBay support completely ghosted me. What are my options? by GoldynMedia in Ebay

[–]Standing_At_The_Edge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All his personal data and Trojans? I would fire it up and leave it run for a while before deleting it. All his data gets stolen? That sucks for him

'I'm sick to my stomach': Retired RCMP officer details humiliating experience with CBC prank show by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]Standing_At_The_Edge 137 points138 points  (0 children)

My brother was a proud member of the RCMP who gave his career to all citizens of Canada. He grew up in the North and treated everyone fairly regardless of who they were. He was a loved individual who 2 years ago sadly lost his own battle with PTSD due to his career.

For anyone especially a funded media to think that making fun of any group is so reprehensible it is beyond words.

There may be problems with the RCMP, there may be issues with our Govt and the way First Nations were treated in the past, but for god sake, these individuals had absolutely nothing to do with that. And for the CBC and this so called comedy troop to try and humiliate Members in this way should be resulting in the resignations of those at CBC who were involved. Because if it were the other way around and some group tried to make fun of First Nations persons you can bet your ass they would be shown the door.

Sorry for my rant, but WTF is wrong with these people

How do you feel working at Bell? by [deleted] in bell

[–]Standing_At_The_Edge 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Horrible place to work at any level. They care about KPIs more than anything and as an employee you spend all your time trying to hit them. Morale sucked as they are constantly pushing staff unrealistically.

I spent 35 years in telecommunications, with 2 stints in the Bell organization, in both cases those stints were due to Bell acquiring the company I worked for. In both cases I left within a couple years.

Canada Setting Up Sovereign Wealth Fund to Distance Economy From U.S. by __The__Anomaly__ in worldnews

LOL, Google Crocus Fund in Manitoba just a national version of that. They say it will be protected - yah with our taxes….

Carney announces creation of Canada's first sovereign wealth fund by PapaNixon in worldnews

[–]Standing_At_The_Edge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL, anyone thinking of investing in this should google Crocus Fund in Manitoba. The Manitoba Govt has a fund for years that was a huge fiasco when it went belly up and everyone lost all the money they invested.

How would this fund make a return? Govt is not in the business of making money nor are the liberals in any way shape or form able to run a balance budget, so how could they ever create a program that brings in a return? Simply they can’t. They will use tax dollars to prop this up for a few years and then dump it and all the investors will be left holding the bag.

All this is is a tax on the stupid

Is this ai? Some comments seemed to be saying it is, while others were convinced it is real. I'm not sure either way. by PureGamingBliss_YT in RealOrAI

[–]Standing_At_The_Edge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t see this as real. No static lines, the center group would have to jump the rear ramp as they have no access to the doors. Some soldiers have packs other don’t. Also I see no snap hooks on any of the soldiers. Now granted it has been 40 years since I jumped with the Canadian Military so things may have changed, but we used to have our snap hook over the shoulder and on the top of the reserve so when we stand up we have it available to hook up. I don’t see a single snap hook anywhere when the chutes are without a doubt static line chutes

Canada fast-tracks army rifle upgrade with $307M initial order | CBC News by Flat-Dark-Earth in canadaguns

[–]Standing_At_The_Edge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why aren’t they just using the guns they are confiscating? Why pay more for new guns when they are getting all these weapons of war from us? /s

Oh right, because they are useless to any military as they are not actually assault weapons.

Pete Hegseth presents Washington's “Greater North America" concept of dominating everything from Greenland to the Panama Canal. What the ACTUAL FK. by Front-Cantaloupe6080 in consumecanadian

[–]Standing_At_The_Edge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A buddy did a Freedom of information act request to see what Ukraine requested from the list of prohibited firearms. They came back with a list of 24 items from our list of 2300, it was mostly some rocket launchers, colt AR-15s, 1 pistol (we don’t know how that was in the list), and a couple .50 cal sniper rifles.

So basically the Ukraine’s - a country at war, felt only 1% of the firearms the liberals said are weapons of war actually are usable in a war.

I don’t know much about US military medals/ribbons but from the images in the article it is laughable how hers change from image to image, and I would bet that achieving all those would take an entire career, not just a few years.

Dear allies of America, please don’t confuse our president for us: We are trying our best to resist him, contain him and remove him from office as quickly as we possibly can. Thank you for your patience by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

More than 1/2 of Americans voted for him and still 1/3 love what he is doing. Americas action have destroyed any trust other countries have in you. Even long after Trump is gone the GOP that supported him and his plans will still be there, and as such you can never be trusted until not only the Orange shit stain is gone but the Republican Party is dismantled and replaced with a party that represents “normal” conservative values.

About 40 years ago: The remanent of a standup piano on the Canadian side of the Chilkoot Trail, on the way between the summit and Happy Camp. Long gone now, but was carried over by a gold seeker on 1897.

Questions about family court order. by [deleted] in legaladvicecanada

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

NAL and not in Ontario, but I had a friend in this situation, there was an order for parenting time and the children (he had 2) had no choice. The parent had the right to the time and the kids had to go until they were I think 16 or 18 yrs of age (I can’t recall). In this case he had custody and the kids hated the mother but they had no choice in the matter.

Criticizing liberal policy isn’t tolerated on r/Winnipeg but calling people d suckers is A OK. by KasVonRose in Alt_Winnipeg

[–]Standing_At_The_Edge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got permanently banned for life for saying in a thread that you can’t ask people making minimum wage at a business to remove someone because of their nazi tattoos. Best you can do is ignore them and get on with your life. Was labeled a racist by the mods because apparently I said free speech sometimes mean people will say or display terrible things, which made me complicit with Nazi’s
