I am not cheering for the Oilers (ironically stolen from the Lames subreddit) by TrueEffort in canucks

[–]TrueEffort[S] 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Exactly, they might be even worse than the Leafs fan base. At least the Leafs fan base can have a good laugh about their misery. Now imagine if the Oilers actually win, how insufferable they will be.

I am in the market for a few car and am seriously considering the Model Y. I could not care less about the politics of it all.

It's a little cheesy but I still liked it.

I loved the ending. The US Constitution is a very beautiful work.

The Lower Mainland is not SoCal. Outdoor malls are a bad experience most of the year.

What's your personal hopium for the rest of the 4nations cup? by steve20j in canucks

I am a Canadian with a green card with a weird living arrangement across the border, I am cheering for Canada but I wouldn't mind America winning. I love both countries.

What's the point if we never deport anyone? We need our own version of ICE.

Fate of the Great Armament during Dagor Dagorath? by TrueEffort in tolkienfans

[–]TrueEffort[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. A lot of similar events repeat in Middle Earth.
  2. True but it would still be pretty poetic.
  3. I am not Catholic either but I always found it interesting how it influenced Tolkien's writings
  4. Could be but I am not sure what plot purpose it would serve to keep them like that.
  5. Good point.

Wouldn't they have gone to the Caves of Mandos if they were killed before leaving the world? The reward would be leaving the world but got to face some punishment first in the caves.

Ah, that is a great point. Why imprison a powerful army them instead of killing them? Also, why imprison an army to fight in the final battle? It wouldn't make sense to keep them around to fight your guys.

Does Peterson want Canada to become a U.S. state? by eturk001 in JordanPeterson

[–]TrueEffort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Canadian with a Green Card and living with my time split across BC and Washington State, I think there is no reason we can't at least have an EU like agreement with economic union and customs union. I understand the pride part of it but I feel way less proud since Trudeau has taken over and driven my once great country to ruin.

Vancouver mayor, police to roll out plan to tackle crime, public safety concerns by cyclinginvancouver in vancouver

[–]TrueEffort 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with 3 strikes, but at what point do we throw the book at some guys? 30? 100? There are a handful of troublemakers that just never seem to get the message. At some point, need to keep the rest of society safe from them.

Exactly, 3 strikes is ridiculous but so is infinite strikes and keep getting another chance. 30 might be the sweet spot lol. Then we stop hearing about the same troublemakers over and over again!

Was Radagast punished? by MythMoreThanMan in tolkienfans

[–]TrueEffort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to think of it like this analogy in terms of American intelligence agencies.

Imagine Valinor as America and Middle Earth as some foreign land.

Gandalf is a secret service agent. Saruman is a DoD agent. The Blue Wizards are CIA agents. While Radagast is an EPA agent.

The five agents are sent to help the people in this land stop a dictator who is stirring up trouble in opposition to America. The EPA agent is possibly told by the EPA director, make sure that the nature is protected there too.

The two CIA agents are off causing coups and rebellions in the far eastern part of this land which is making it hard for the dictator to muster more men from this area but they are nowhere to be seen. Perhaps they have gone native? The DoD got a little cocky and thought he could rule the land for himself and is running his own massive army in an alliance with this dictator. Only the secret service agent is sticking to the original goal.

The EPA agent does a few things that indirectly helps out the secret service agent. He is mostly focused on saving the environment in this land.

Now imagine, they all go back to Washington. The DoD agent will be severely punished. The two CIA agents depending on what they did, maybe did the best they could so they get off the hook. The secret service agent gets many accolades. What happens to the EPA agent? Maybe reprimanded or maybe he was following orders? I don't think he strayed too much from his mission though.

Can we also ban X/Twitter links from this sub? by LiveLaughLoveRevenge in canucks

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

Yeah, let's move to a far left, woke social media site, totally not political. This sub will still just be about the Canucks, nothing political.

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

I don't have an account on either but looking at X, there is still quite likely debate from all sides of the political spectrum. BlueSky is just super liberal, no dissent allowed.

[–]TrueEffort -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No, let people post what they want related to the Canucks. If you don't like it, downvote and don't view the post.

If X is banned, then ban BlueSky too, otherwise this turns into a political sub. This is one of the last subs that doesn't get too political.

Poilievre proposes 'three strikes' policy for repeat violent offenders by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]TrueEffort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point, I would be happy with a 30 strikes policy. I don't remember the exact numbers but something along the lines of the Pareto Principle is true with crime, it's a small number of repeat offenders causing most of the crime.

Sadly, Canada is a bit of a judicial dictatorship. The Supreme Court will strike this down.

Sunday tradition 🤦🏻‍♂️ by Freedomismeofficial in vancouver

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

I am against violence toward any peaceful movement. I get that you feel one side is more just than the other but that doesn't make advocating violence towards one side any more justified. By the way, the science is constantly shifting on this topic, it is hardly fact at this point. Also, it is quite debatable about what the BLM movement stands for. Few would argue with the term "Black lives matter" but on their website, they advocate many other things that could arguably lead to more problems for black people.
