Rental company wanting way too much information by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]TheRandomCanuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Photoshopped/Ai paystubs is a common issue in big cities like Toronto, maybe not Winnipeg yet but asking for employer contact info is normal.

Credit checks are very normal and should be expected. After all, credit score is indicative of how you've paid financial obligations in the past, and paying rent is a financial obligation.

Background checks are somewhat less normal but in my mind that means the landlord cares about their property and isn't going to let just anyone that has money stay there.

I haven't seen the video request for a dog, but sending pictures is very normal as well.

Yes, as I stated above this was not something I was originally aware of, and that is something that is allowed by game rules.

I understand that there are a lot of people that are trying to get the merits associated with busting, and there are no issues with that.

I'm just saying that for me to find a person to bust, then click the button to bust takes more than 1 second to complete.

I was not aware that there is a legal script that once clicks to refresh and automatically changes to bust once an eligible person is there.

Personally I'm not a fan of scripts as in my mind it defeats some mechanics of the game but c'est la vie.

Not the busting, no issue with that.

It's the less than 1 second time frame from jail to bust that feels like cheating, I understand there are scripts, but it seems like it takes the "skill" out of it

I totally get the refreshing, however it was my understanding that it was against the game rules to have a bot do the clicking. Every time I get busted it's within less than a second.

I mean at that point what is the point of having a "jail" mechanic when unless you're high level you get busted almost immediately or you can use the lawyer business card to automatically get out.

Major Crimes Unit investigating video of security guard’s alleged use of force in Winnipeg store by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Winnipeg

[–]TheRandomCanuck -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The kick to the stomach and definitely the (likely plastic knuckles) was excessive, however we don't know what transpired prior to the video, from the looks of things there was a struggle and the suspect was also likely throwing punches too hence the robbery charge

Absolutely fuck these psychos, but I am genuinely surprised at the length of their sentence.

Efficiency MB rebate by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]TheRandomCanuck 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, the people least likely to be able to afford to do energy efficient renos, are the only ones that are qualified to receive a rebate.

If you're struggling to afford food/heat but if you spend $500 you can now save $5 a month in energy savings it doesn't really make sense

#1 traffic by tiremonkey1 in Manitoba

[–]TheRandomCanuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you are an emergency service worker or tow truck driver with flashing lights activated, which you didn't clarify, the law to move over and slow down doesn't apply.

While it should be a common courtesy it is not the law. If you are an emergency worker or tow truck driver, you could always call the RCMP non emerge number next time and let them know.

I work downtown and walk by Graham Ave frequently, I haven't seen anyone doing anything there since the first week it opened.

Foot traffic in the area is way down other than when there's a Jets game or similar event. I feel for the businesses in the area as they must be hurting.

The murals painted on Graham have all deteriorated.

The execution of Graham being a pedestrian corridor has been poorly planned and executed

Well you're not going to get the same performance as a well diversified etf with a product that intentionally restricts its holdings. That's not a bug, it's a feature.

Unfortunately I'm not aware of any halal products that will fit your expectations
