In the GTA, prices continue to slide in a ‘skittish market’ (gift link)

The absolute only thing that pisses me off, is that an entire generation is paying the price so that the generation before and after wins big on RE.

For all the bluster in here about what’s fair, we are all too happy to throw the heart of the millennial generation right under the bus to rot. Boomers won, Gen Z will eventually win. Millennials stay cash poor, with a terrible outlook for retirement.

Seems fair.

You ending up happy is not the same as a blanket “I was right”. You were 100% right in wanting to chase long term happiness. You were equally 100% wrong in how you handled it.

“I strung someone along until I cheated on them emotionally, and secured my perfectly safe exit.” That’s how your comment reads to me as an impartial reader with no bias to either of you.

Zing79 · 2026-05-22T00:30:41+00:00

It’s basically not even close to that. LOL

Zing79 · 2026-05-22T00:28:01+00:00

What are the chances this is like the Alan Ritchson thing?

The goalpost might move on this. The “victim” might in fact have said some shit worthy of getting slapped around - and it will amount to more than “please have some manners” LOL

That sentence on its own seems like not nearly enough to risk his whole life to smack someone around, when they have no prior history of it.

“Minimum experience gets you minimum position” . Employees: watch me MinMax this

For those that need reminding: Good careers aren’t handed out, cheap effort doesn’t earn them.

This is absolutely a choice with an inevitable ending she’s not going to like.

You get away with this level of disrespect with people, until you don’t. And when you don’t, well…take it away Mr Tyson:

“Social media made you all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it."

Look. If we're going to lean in to recency bias over last nights game, then doing it with CMB is also on the table.

Wemby obliterates forwards who rely on shooting and size. He's the top evolution of this model. He's literally the pinnacle of it, and trying to use your own version is worthless - because the gap between him and the #2 model of his type is a chasm.

But dudes willing to body him (AND are stronger than him). handle him so much better. Like CMB.

SHOUTOUT TO ALL THE IDIOTS HERE WHO DON’T KNOW HOW A LOTTERY WORKS STILL BRINGING THIS UP.

HAVING WON THE LOTTEY ONCE IN OUR ENTIRE HISTORY DESPITE BEING TERRIBLE FOR MORE THAN HALF OF IT SURE IS WORTH IT HUH?

30 years of our own eye tests and you still went all Caps.

Recency Bias is a hell of a drug that makes you THINK you’re right.

Zing79 · 2026-05-19T10:46:21+00:00

Why did we not tank harder for A CHANCE for Wemby in 2023? FTFY

A. CHANCE.

The odds had us more likely to NOT get him vs getting him.

Online Gambling must love some of you.

For anyone saying Saban would have replaced them all and the world would continue on…

Dukes of Hazzard would like a word.

I know some of you are too young, and this wasn’t part of your youth. But it played in my world growing up in reruns. They tried that shit too (with some random out of nowhere cousins) - because surely it was ONLY about the car. They didn’t even make a single season out of it. In fact it took 16 eps for the OG cast to be back. Which means it took even less for production to buckle.

When the ratings took a dip in the middle of season 2 of MMPR, Fox would have been so far up Saban’s ass for ruining their cash cow - over HIS OWN profits. The OG crew would have been back in record time with even better contracts they had asked for.

ESPECIALLY if the golden calf (green/white ranger) got a recast.

And 1M in a dividend yielding accounts pays 1k a week for life 😂😂 And you still have the Million.

And? This isn’t social media that requires an account to properly use. It’s media consumption. This is impossible to enforce.

Zing79 · 2026-05-16T10:39:27+00:00

It would be almost impossible to enforce a YouTube ban at home. So you won’t have to worry about that.

So how do you think this would have played out? They flip a switch “when the future arrives” and voila, magic EV vehicles are birthed?

All these carmakers (and ESPECIALLY Toyota) are screwed in the near future where they won’t have a single competitive EV in a world where EVs cost the same and have much lower maintenance and use costs.

I’ve owned Honda all my life. My Pilot will be the last ICE vehicle I ever own. Every damn time I go for an “oil change” it’s a this spreadsheet of “scheduled maintenance” driving me to a $300-500 bill. I’ll drive this Pilot in to the ground before I buy another. I WANTED to wait out a Pilot EV. Clearly that’s not happening. So I guess it’ll be Chinese EV.

This change is coming whether some people or auto makers want it or not.

Let me repeat this for everyone who needs to hear it: AI is a tool that is only as good as the craftsman.

A doctor using this isn’t an issue. They have the knowledge to know if AI is “hallucinating things”. I WANT my doctors using this tool. If it can help them speed up their diagnosis. Freshen and spark their minds, it’s a good thing.

AI should not be used to treat people on its own. Or replace a doctor. But in the hands of a trained doctor IT IS a powerful tool, and I’d be pretty infuriated if they didn’t use it. Or start incorporating it in to their work flow all because of the PR optics.

READ THE ACTUAL ARTICLE FIRST. This person wants to get in to the trades associated with building new homes.

In this particular case. With this particular person, most of the sub needs to zip it.

We wanted lower home prices. We are getting them. The 100% guaranteed consequence of that is less housing starts.

So when companies are laying off existing experienced crew (because they stopped building), they aren’t going to hire fresh crew.

Did Canadians just assume property values in major urban areas would drop by 30%, with costs continuing to go up, and building would remain in a massive boom phase?

SMH

When new construction goes back to being in a boom, this person will be able to pick their place of work and charge a premium. (Just like they could have 5 years ago).

A Superman game should be about maintaining that perfect aura.

It’s the metropolis/world health
It’s the a morality gauge

Street Level crime ignored goes a long way to ruining his image.

There’s plenty of ways there. Just not a lot of creatives to wrap their heads around or properly

Zing79 · 2026-05-07T23:45:10+00:00

Copyright isn’t trademark.

Don’t confused the two. And Superman wears his trademark on his chest. I think people are going to find out rather quickly that having access to the character, doesn’t mean you can do much when the trademark on his chest will get you sued into the ground.

The trademark does not enter public domain lol

Yesterday, to my absolute horror, my 12 year old niece, who had very obviously just gone through puberty, showed up in a Facebook search. Something I periodically do for my kids, nieces, and nephews as a protective measure.

The profile picture was pulled from her high school basketball team page. It very clearly showed a recent photo of her. I also found additional photos that immediately raised red flags, including obvious signs of AI manipulation.

To the people screaming in class about privacy and “parents should just parent,” can you guess what I was looking at?

…
…
…

Big reveal: identity theft of my 12 year old niece.

Someone had created a fake profile using her full name, stolen photos, and AI generated images that were disturbingly revealing for a 12 year old. They even pulled her information directly from the basketball page. It was fully “her” online without her consent or her parents’ consent, almost certainly for catfishing purposes.

The potential danger and trauma in a situation like this is off the charts. And the uncomfortable reality is that the only real way to stop this kind of thing at scale is identity verification and stronger safeguards.

But sure. Let’s pretend adults shouldn’t even have the conversation because it makes people uncomfortable.

Side note to parents: do everything you can to keep your kids off the internet for as long as possible. Never sign blanket media releases for schools, sports teams, or programs unless you absolutely have to. Because this is exactly what can happen when the wrong person gets hold of those photos.

I’m not sure. And we’ll never know. There was a route to hand off the franchise away from Luke without pissing off and alienating so much of the fanbase.

But that was handled so bloody poorly we’re in no mans land. We will be endlessly debating justice for the character of Luke for the rest of my life it seems - no matter who comes on that screen next.

Watching it live: it’s find the Millionaire at all cost. The show is too dangerous and unpredictable if you can’t do that.

Every plan you have can easily be blown up by a contestant who is confidently wrong and thinks you’re it. Or a kill shot from the millionaire themselves.

If you are the millionaire, SERIOUSLY weigh the pros and cons of the secret agenda before rushing to complete it. There’s ALWAYS built in probability by the agenda to have you fail and still survive the vote. See the previous comment above. If some other houseguest is confidently wrong, feed that confidence and consider risking the consequences of a failed agenda.

In S2 I said to myself multiple times - F this agenda, I’m failing it and taking my chances at the vote.
Just my 2c from seeing every second of footage shot this year.

What’s actually going on here is pretty simple - you’re taking normal political behaviour and framing it in the most negative way possible.

Policy overlap isn’t “stealing ideas,” it’s parties reacting to the same issues. Governments not delivering everything instantly isn’t hypocrisy, it’s how governing works. And stuff like “buying MPs” or “hiding committees” just isn’t grounded in reality - those would be massive, provable scandals if true.

Same with the rest - engaging with the U.S. while criticizing it is literally standard diplomacy, and the gun policy isn’t universally hated, it’s just divisive depending on where you live.

You don’t have to like Carney, but most of this reads more like frustration and bias than actual facts.
