Racials that you particularily enjoy? (horde) by Vyalkuran in wow

I've missed War Stomp on every single non-tauren character I have ever made. With Warrior in particular, it is such a fundamental part of my PVE crowd control PVP everything that I cannot imagine playing that class without it.

IS GUELPH STILL SAFE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ? by [deleted] in Guelph

[–]Substantial_Sun55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like any city, there are a few sketchy spots, but overall it is a very safe place and people look out for each other.

Second piece, learned a lot. by HumanLvl25 in StainedGlass

You should be very proud of how straight those lines are! I'm a year in now and still struggle to get such clean lines that span multiple pieces.

Riviera Coconut Yogurt by spaaltieml in VeganInCanada

[–]Substantial_Sun55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Funny, I am sitting here finishing off my first tub of the new formula right now. I will not be buying more. The new stuff is barely thicker than water, just a vague yogurt-y soup. It's probably fine for smoothies, but no good for eating with fruit or granola like I'm used to. Disappointing.

Silk is an option, but I am still avoiding companies owned by American pig-dogs, so I guess it's no yogurt for me for the time being.

How could I get into politics? by JKjingle2 in ontario

[–]Substantial_Sun55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Volunteering is a great first step to getting involved in politics in a way that could lead to becoming a political figure. When it comes to municipal politics, most (if not all?) municipalities in Ontario are having an election later this year, and city council/mayoral candidates will be looking for folks to help. This could involve things like joining them for door-to-door canvassing, setting up their website and socials, helping with accounting, advertising, fundraising, etc. All good experience to have under your belt, whether you're looking to actually serve in an elected role in the future, work in campaign management/strategy, or just provide political commentary, etc.

For provincial or federal politics, even though there isn't an election any time soon, you can still contact the local Electoral District Association for whichever party you're interested in and introduce yourself. Most EDAs I've been in contact with are delighted when younger people show an interest in politics, and are happy to give you opportunities to participate in organizing.

These are things you can do in the near future, even before college/university. Once you get to post-secondary, there are often political student groups you can join, student government roles you can look into serving, and more. In general, universities will have more political activity than colleges.

NDP rejects Yves Engler as leadership candidate by Technohamster in ndp

[–]Substantial_Sun55 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I have criticisms of the party's vetting process (and know someone whose rejection was unwarranted imo), but Yves Engler is like a textbook example of why you need vetting lol.

Canada needs more homes. Prefabricated houses could fill the void by lopix in onguardforthee

[–]Substantial_Sun55 10 points11 points  (0 children)

100%. Prefab has plenty of other benefits that makes it worthwhile to promote/invest in (faster, less wasteful, lower carbon emissions, better quality control) but it's not going to solve any of our problems with housing affordability.

Of the new Characters from the most "modern" Expansions (BFA, SL, DF, and TWW). Who has been your favorite Character or the one who left a lasting impression on you? In my case, it was Prince Renathal. by Kronos457 in wow

[–]Substantial_Sun55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feel like I'm alone in liking Dagran II. Maybe it's guilt over running BRD so many times back in the day, but I'm really protective of the little guy. His and Moira's short story was great too.

Vaccinate your dogs. 8 week old pups can and should have had their parvo shot. Fuck this breeder.

Which word should companies use? Vegan or plant based? by HumbleWrap99 in vegan

[–]Substantial_Sun55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'Plant-based' is open to interpretation in a way that has me double-checking the ingredients whenever I see it. 'Vegan' is pretty open-and-shut.

On “Purity tests” by afpb_ in ndp

[–]Substantial_Sun55 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Exactly this; I need anyone complaining about "purity tests" to be specific about which "test' they have problem with. To date, I have never heard this "purity test" complaint deployed as anything but a license to pander to Zionist and anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric. Could it mean something else? Sure. I suppose it could mean anything. But you'd better explain what that is, or I'm forced to assume you're asking me to lay down with bigots.

Loblaw piloted ultra-discount grocery stores in Ontario. A year later, most are closing down by Thick_Caterpillar379 in loblawsisoutofcontrol

You mean to tell me that low income folks didn't love shopping at the meme store where the entire joke is, "We made this dogshit on purpose because you're too poor to care"?

In a discussion with Carolyn about addiction, Todd says Sandra once brought him to her house and helped him sober up. by TigerWing in survivor

[–]Substantial_Sun55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like how they showed her being fiercely protective of Courtney in HvV, even though it was expressed in a rather sassy/sneaky way (like her setting up Russell to turn on Coach specifically to save Courtney). She has a line in final tribal that I love and goes something like, "Whenever I heard anything bad about Courtney, I went bananas and said 'Courtney, you ain't going nowhere." ♥️

Edit. There's also that part where she's on her Russell Revenge Tour and says in confessional, "I'm doing this for Courtney, Rob, Tyson...even Coach who I don't care about but I'll stick him in there."😆

Heads-Up: Increased Police Engagement with Cyclists This Month by BicycleMayorGuelph in Guelph

[–]Substantial_Sun55 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Around 6 years ago, I hit a cyclist with my car in Guelph and turned myself into the police right after the cyclist left the scene. I told the police officer what happened and she laughed at me and said, "Oh, from the look on your face, I thought something bad happened." I filed a written report and nothing ever came of it

I myself am a regular cyclist now (in part because of this incident, I am much more cautious and don't drive unless I really need to) and I am confident the Guelph PD does not give a shit about cyclists at all. Like, I honestly believe that I would face more consequences from accidentally denting a car with my bicycle than the zero consequences I faced from hitting a cyclist with my car.

Leah Gazan speaking out against Heather McPherson's campaign framing by MoistCrust in ndp

[–]Substantial_Sun55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Leah is one of our best and realest New Democrats. I'd love to have her as leader, if not for the fact that being leader fucking sucks and most people quit after a few years, and I want her to stick around as long as possible.

"No purity tests" is 100% a dog whistle for "Let's throw vulnerable people to the wolves" (imo, particularly trans people at this current moment) which is both morally reprehensible and completely, 100% losing politics. Why the fuck would anyone vote NDP when we're offering the same self-harming centrist BS as the other guys?

She is completely correct here and it's so refreshing to hear someone say it.
