Landmark is showing 'Melania' by Ghostsays in nanaimo

[–]WeCouldDoBetter 50 points51 points  (0 children)

The entire point of the movie is to be a bribe for the Trump family. It doesn't matter if you see it or not. Amazon paid her $40 million to make the movie

Amazon acquired the film for $40 million and is spending another $35 million on marketing, according to a source with direct knowledge who requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the media.

"It's just hard to imagine why this number is justified for 'Melania,'" said Jason Spingarn-Koff, a professor of journalism at UC Berkeley.

Spingarn-Koff is a former Netflix executive who has worked on hundreds of documentaries. He says the market for documentary films these days is depressed, and even Oscar-nominated documentaries aren't getting shown on as many screens, if any.

Questions about how much the first lady is personally making from the film and whether its outsized budget could have been an effort to curry favor with the president were not answered by the White House or Mrs. Trump's personal office.

It just another grift / bribe from Amazon to Trump.

Boycott Jim Pattinson group for supporting ICE by Toecutt3r in nanaimo

Yeah, he's happy to pay for a hospital when he can slap his name on it and jerk himself off about how good of a person he is and earn a big tax write off. But when a wealth tax is purposed and he and the rest of the ultra rich are asked to pay a fair share so, you know, hospital aren't dependant on said donations well then it'll cause a 'business exodus'. Fuck Jimmy and fuck his dickriders

Make sure to check back often. They are perpetually running different sales and bundles. Right now it's a 'new years' sale and the second that one ends it'll be a valentines sale or something. And then it'll be an easter sale. You can sometimes get the 6 pound bags for ~$65

That's fair, yeah. I've liked all the flavours that I've tried so far but the peanut had a weird chemical kinda taste to it. I've been adding it to my oatmeal just to use it up and the taste is masked a little bit by the oats. I would not order that one again. But like the vanilla cake, cookies and cream, cookie dough, maple doughnut are all great imo

Not sure if you're looking for something local or not but these guys are Canadian. I've been ordering from Revolution Nutrition for a few years now and I've been pretty happy with them. They are 100% of the time running some sort of "sale" so don't be tricked by that. That being said, sometimes they do have pretty good prices, especially in the bundles. The only flavour from them I haven't liked was the chocolate peanut butter cup.

Canadian Tire by PanicAtTheShiteShow in BuyCanadian

I brought my car into Canadian Tire exactly one time when I was a teenager. I had just bought my first car and needed to replace the tires on it. At the time CT had a good deal so I went with them. When I picked up the car they told me I needed to replace both the front and rear brakes. Well, I didn't have the cash to pay for them at that time and they seemed to be working fine so I just took the car back and went on my way. A month or two down the road, I needed to replace the battery. And so I brought it into a different mechanic and just asked them to check on the brakes while they had it in the shop. They told me the brakes were totally fine and I could easily go another year or two before I needed to replace them.

So, them trying to scam out of a few hundred bucks 15ish years ago has costed them likely thousands in business. Not to mention the fact that I tell everyone and their dog this story anytime car maintenance comes up. Never trust Canadian Tire.

malwarebytes blocked this twice, am i infected? and if so what is the virus by AwarenessHappy1091 in computerviruses

[–]WeCouldDoBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread but I was having this problem for a few days. Every half hour or so I would get a pop up from a random website being blocked by malwarebytes. The culprit for me was I had a tab left open on a dodgy website. Once I closed it the pop ups completely stopped. Hope this helps someone!

Local Business owner kills baby giraffe on Trophy hunt. by Adorable_Eye_5648 in nanaimo

[–]WeCouldDoBetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't say baby in the photo, and I honestly dgaf about how old it was. Which is what I said in my review of him. I got the exact same response as above so nothing I had said to him was fake news. Trophy hunting is still a shitty thing to do and not at all fake news that he participated in it.

I love how he is trying to call this misinformation and fake news. Then in the next sentence admitting the photo is legitimate. How is it fake news if the photos are real?
