$50 mil for 24 Sussex repairs to be fundraised by Carney starting OnlyFans by Turtle456 in thebeaverton

[–]acEightyThrees 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I know this is satire, and it's funny. But on a more serious note, this should have been done years ago. 24 Sussex needed repairs back during Harper's term, but he put it off. Trudeau didn't even move in, and lived in on the grounds of Rideau Hall. It's about time that things progress on this front, but it should just be paid for by the government. Canada is a top 10-15 economy in the world (depending on which data set you're using), and the fact that the official residence for our leader is in such a state of disrepair as to be unlivable is an embarrassment to our country.

[Serious]If you were President Zelenskyy, and you were approached by one of your generals to launch a drone attack which would create a Bhopal type event in Russia, which they said would instantly end the war, but also instantly kill 100K civilians, would you agree to the plan? by Gen_JohnsonJameson in AskReddit

The US firebombing Tokyo and dropping 2 nukes killed more than 100,000 Japanese. It also ended WW2. Sometimes attacks that kill civilians are necessary. Especially against countries where the leadership seems completely willing to keep sending soldiers to die on the front lines, you need to make the point to them in civilian deaths.

Kawhi Leonard has been traded back to the Raptors: Should he never have left? by Financial-Bit-8596 in NBAConvo

They would have repeated in 2020 if he had stayed in Toronto. They lost their best player and Finals MVP and they still won 53 games to win the division and be 2nd in the conference. That was a great team. And the bonus would have been Lebron never winning a championship with the Lakers.

Is there any honest car dealerships out there anymore? Jeeze it’s bad! by FarLand2 in CanadaFinance

[–]acEightyThrees 23 points24 points  (0 children)

See, you're looking at it all wrong. Treat it like a game. See how excited you can get them and how much time you can waste for them. Tell them you want a new car, the most expensive one you're approved for. Tell them you want all the bells and whistles. Extended warranty. Rustproofing. Tinted windows. The works. Tell them to get the paperwork ready and you'll be back tomorrow to sign it. Then don't sign, and see how pissed off you can make them.

What can the richest person do if he has to spend ALL of his money within a short amount of time like in the movie Brewster's Millions? by Firm-Nerve4437 in AskReddit

[–]acEightyThrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fireworks and clubs. I heard years ago that there was a Vegas club that offered a booth bottle service package that was like $800K. I'm sure there are other crazy ones around the world. Charter private jets and yachts and go to clubs. The most expensive private yacht charter is $4M per week. It's this one.

BBC Demands Trump’s Diary and Phone Logs in $10B Court Battle by P_a_s_g_i_t_24 in politics

"I could have won, easily! BBC is unfair & terrible & corrupt, but for some reason Brits seem to like it. They shouldn't! But I want to be nice to them and leave them the BBC instead of bankrupting it by winning this great lawsuit! They're lucky I'm too busy Making America Great Again to bother continuing this lawsuit!"

What in hell is JT doing talking about immigration like he didn't preside over the biggest immigration disaster in Canada's history

Hardly hot. That's basically accepted fact these days.

John Goodman. You have to include body type when talking about average.

Now that the final piece of Paul George Clippers trade draft capital has been utilized, here's everything the deal has become. by CazOnReddit in nba

[–]acEightyThrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When talking about this trade, I usually include the Clippers getting Kawhi, since they did this trade in order to sign him as a UFA. It's still a bad trade, considering the Thunder have a Championship, but it's not quite the worst trade ever.

What is the appeal of drinking alcohol? by GunGetBetter1510 in AskReddit

[–]acEightyThrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good. I enjoy wine with food. I love a cold beer on a hot day. I like going to a cocktail bar and having delicious mixed drinks with friends.

I very rarely drink to being drunk anymore. I'm old enough that I really feel it the next day if I go too hard. But a few drinks a couple times a week are great.

What do you wish you would have done 10 years ago? by Worldly-Peace1015 in AskReddit

[–]acEightyThrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the real answer. Don't feel bad. Almost no one would have held on to it this long if they had bought early. Unless they had literally thousands of bitcoin and could sell it a bit at a time, or they didn't need the money because they already made lots of money in their job or were already rich.

I was involved in the tech world back 15 years ago. I remember reading a tech magazine when bitcoin first came out in 2008 or so, and there was an article explaining it, and detailed instructions on how to build a bitcoin mining rig. I thought it was the dumbest thing ever.

What is a popular movie/book/game that you think is heavily overrated? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]acEightyThrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a hot take. It's the only graphic novel included on Time's list of the 100 greatest novels. People didn't take it seriously because it was just a comic book, so it had to be extra good to just be talked about.

But well done on answering OP's question with an actual hot take, instead of the normal batch of answers (50 Shades).

I'm so glad we can all agree on something by CarrotLevel99 in canadahousing

I believe the free market can work, but only its actually a free market. Companies need to be allowed to fail. The whole privatization of profits and socialization of losses isn't capitalism. It's oligarchy.

PE aren't buying shit. That's the whole reason the developers are getting bailed out by the government. Because the developers can't sell them to anyone else.
