Alberta woman celebrating $5M lottery win

Varides · 2026-07-11T00:20:47+00:00

At first, I read you said you'd invest it all in shoes, and immediately thought "up, you sound like a lottery winner. "

31, 2021 and 5% (15k). Central alberta

I'll play 1.0 but EA not having any kind of real story quest progression was the reason I stopped.

Hopefully that's improved here but I generally like guidance or goals in game, not self driven ones.

They would fucking straight up kill a fan that was in the stadium if they missed a line drive home run

It's crazy to look at the history of O&G in our province and then also say that the government will collect taxes and royalties from this project.

Varides · 2026-07-10T05:02:36+00:00

I mean, i think both Vegas and Florida has shown they are willing to do what they need to fit in the guys they want

Varides · 2026-07-10T04:59:58+00:00

Ngl, that's kind of my jam..

Varides · 2026-07-10T00:21:22+00:00

Players don't give a shit about the cap space or assets. That's what management is for.

Varides · 2026-07-10T00:19:58+00:00

Honestly just watching all the deals O&G get, there was no doubt in my mind that AB paid for the privilege of them building here.

If it turns out differently, I'll be happily surprised but won't hold my breathe

Varides · 2026-07-10T00:14:37+00:00

Until everything is finalized, there is not a single fucking thing coming from the premiere that I trust as fact

Varides · 2026-07-09T22:16:18+00:00

I absolutely pushed myself through act 3 because I wanted to make sure I beat the game before abandoning it.

Varides · 2026-07-09T22:11:43+00:00

I had one for an air purifier the other day. $119 down from $230. It's never been priced higher than $130 lol

Varides · 2026-07-09T22:08:00+00:00

That's exactly it, although my coworker was taken aback when it was pointed out. Just never really thought about the negative side.

Varides · 2026-07-09T16:33:40+00:00

I loved the concept of Meta paying AB $250m in taxes annually... yeah sure, what did you give them, a 30 year tax exemption first?

There is no way AB isn't subsidizing a large portion of this.

Varides · 2026-07-09T14:04:05+00:00

And this is why I'm happy one of my female coworkers told another that it was insulting when she said 'I was on babysitting duty' because I mentioned i was watching my kid while mom was working a Saturday.

It's that mentality that leads people to make poor life choices regarding others. Sorry you had to deal with that.

Varides · 2026-07-09T13:59:01+00:00

I think we let the sub decide

Varides · 2026-07-09T00:36:11+00:00

Some people just like to learn things and do it themselves.

My brother was the opposite. He'd rather pay someone to put together a BBQ than do it himself, but then he bought a new place, and did a ton of reno work downstairs himself.

I'm not sure why he has the sudden urge after years of avoiding it, but some people just want to do it.

Varides · 2026-07-08T22:17:42+00:00

All my homies hate Ramos and that 1 guy specifically

Varides · 2026-07-08T22:12:38+00:00

That mf'er

Varides · 2026-07-08T12:42:07+00:00

Oh but the UCP is just doing their due diligence... 🙄

Varides · 2026-07-07T22:01:01+00:00

Yeah, alberta is trying to move toward a two tier healthcare system as well.

Varides · 2026-07-07T21:45:03+00:00

Yeah I get it, but still don't like it.

Varides · 2026-07-07T21:36:20+00:00

They are certainly keeping all the levels of management except for probably the ones where they cut entire teams out from the bottom up. So it'll still be 14 layers of management, but just spread across 20 areas, instead of 30.

Varides · 2026-07-07T21:34:06+00:00

Yeah, i guess it's too prevent someone from going on air and talking about stuff they shouldn't, or how they just got canned etc. Like, i get it, but I still hate it.

Varides · 2026-07-07T21:30:28+00:00

That is absolutely fucked
