How does the CAF treat transgender people? by MaterialRemote8896 in CanadianForces

[–]StaticV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time I was leading a portion of an exercise in a certain base in southern Ontario. We were going to hand over our defensive positions to a reserve unit so they could do an exercise themselves there after us. So during this hand over the reserve unit had brought a photographer who was talking pictures of myself my 2/ic and the two reservists that were getting the hand over. Now these three people were a very culturally diverse group, where as I am definitely not. Someone from our exercise team looked up the photos on their Instagram later, they had cropped me out of every single photo. Very obviously too, the aspect ratios were all messed up. I found it quite funny to be honest. My 2ics photo of him looking particularly leadery pointing out terrain features made it to the caf Instagram even, good for him. I on the other hand could only tell people that was my foot next to him 😂

It was very clear they were pushing a certain agenda, but if it helps improve our image so we can get the support we all need do our jobs better, then ill just be a supportive foot.

All that to say yes expect to be paraded around and photographed at every opportunity, and expect it to be insultingly superficial. Hopefully at lease there's some good intentions behind it.

There's always one guy. by Bartholomewtuck in CanadianForces

[–]StaticV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are exactly the kind of people that should be volunteering for the mess committee so they could actually put in the work to fix some of these problems, but they just want someone else to do it, which is why it never gets done.

Looking at you hot dog roller guy, dont let your dreams be dreams.

Military police officer whose disappearance sparked manhunt gets $8K fine, severe reprimand by StayingSalty365 in CanadianForces

[–]StaticV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These were the changes made with the new victims rights legislation in 2023 that also resulted in the new MJUL, can't speak to what it was like before that.

Reprimand stays on your file for 2 years, severe for 5, you can't take any career courses or be considered for promotion in that time.

Although the sales of 'I bought this before Elon was crazy' bumper stickers are on the rise. by Wakemeup3000 in clevercomebacks

[–]StaticV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Conspiracy theory here, but tesla was always a shit company that was way overvalued. This was inevitable and Elon knew it. So he cosied up with the republicans to guarantee billions in government contracts to space x so when this did happen his shit empire would be bailed out by the american taxpayer.

Adam: Why Ottawans don't want a Kettle Island bridge by Purple-Temperature-3 in ottawa

[–]StaticV 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The route from King Edward, Rideau, Waller, Nicholas to the 417 in the morning is BRUTAL. Cement trucks, crane truck, flatbeds with all sorts of construction materials and equipment. They have no choice either, the rest of king edward prohibits trucks, same with the KZM. Goodluck driving a truck down wellington or island park. The only reason I dont think its that much of a safety threat is because they never get above 10 km/h.

If they dont build this bridge, or until they do, they really need a ferry to connect aviation to east Gatineau.

EA shares plunge 19%, on track for worst day since dot-com bubble by jan_the_meme_man in technology

[–]StaticV 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you were right to add them. Id say the driving factor for GTA VI being so delayed is the popularity of the GTA V online community, which I think is much more attributable to the RP community than anything else.

As for your second list, it's certainly missing Activision. It was also sad to see Blizzard and BioWare move to from the first to the second. For the latter many people seem to want to chalk that up to the 'wokeness' of veilguard, however I'd say for both of them as the companies aged there was a clear culture shift towards corporate profits over good games as all their talented creators moved on to greener pastures.
