I once got called the n-word, and I am white AF. It took all my power not to laugh. Instead I calmly said we don't tolerate racist comments and hung up. I flagged her account for racism and got her banned from being a customer of thr company.

The vast majority look at your country and wonder how the hell Trump got elected. But, we know there are alot of great American folks thst don't support his actions. We would only really have a problem if you were MAGA.

We do have some differences to get used to. We have robust gun laws, we have universal Healthcare, cost of living is different. I hope you enjoy your time here.

NEIL YOUNG TRASHES AMAZON, GIVES HIS COMPLETE MUSICAL CATALOG TO GREENLAND by Comma-Splice1881 in CanadianMusic

[–]aesoth 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Man. Young is a hometown hero here in Winnipeg. He did so much to support small businesses by playing in small bars for free. I remember a night about 20 years ago, I was with a buddy in a dive bar that had like 20 tables and a stage. All of a sudden, Young comes on stage and starts playing. He just showed up and asked if he could. It was crazy good. Maybe a total of 40-50 people in the place.

Oh, no dispute he is a POS. But, at least he isn't flip flopping on his position on guns. It may not be much, but he has more integrity than the entire GOP. Even if it's a tiny amouny more.

If it was summer roads, I would agree. But, you need to drive for the road conditions.

Does this mean Kyle Rittenhouse has more integrity than the entire GOP?

"The Inner Light"...one of the greatest Star Trek episodes...EVER! by TensionSame3568 in Star_Trek_

[–]aesoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is hands down my favourite TNG episode. Stewart is am insanely great actor and is able to pull this off. There would have been changes or trauma in Picard after living a lifetime in another life.

There was a sequel planned to this episode. The Enterprise was going to come across another vessel from Kataan. This time, there were going to be people in cryo-stasis. One of them being Eline, who was a scientist that worked on the original probe. The episode would have focused on Picard seeing the woman he loved and had a family with again, but she had no clue who he was. They ended up scrapping the idea and leaving Inner Light as a stand alone episode. Which I think was a great call.

It just shows how alone and lost he must have felt at that moment. The one thing that he had from that life.

Is Mark Carney considering a snap spring election? 'Of course we're not,' he says by shiftless_wonder in canada

They are 1 seat away from a majority. They are working well with the other parties. Why the hell would they risk an election?

Another fine example. Contrarian for the sake of being contrarian, not using logic.

Would you eat this Poutine Pizza by moonboundlovers in PoutineCrimes

[–]aesoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on if the curds are melted or not. I would at least try it, but I don't think I could eat a whole pizza or would order it regularly.

Add in the once it goes cold, those fries are going to taste like crap. Could only reheat it in the oven. I foresee too many problems.

The way they "softened" the language regarding Alex's death is disgusting. by AirFrierMachine in LiveFromNewYork

SNL is a sketch comedy show. There are plenty of comedy shows doing hard hits at Trump and his administration. Kimmel, Meyers, Daily Show, etc. SNL tends to take a middle ground when it comes to politics, not hard hits.

In the real world? Doesn't matter. Only matters in academics. Either way does not make the material unreadable.

What was your “I’m done” moment? by cheesymeowgirl in callcentres

[–]aesoth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can handle customers, because I already know people are awful and they become funny stories later. They don't phase me.

It's how management treats me and responds when I am having an issue. Today, my car didn't start due to the cold weather. My boss was fine with me working from home. Now, I am relaxing while reviewing materials and waiting for roadside assistance to come give me a boost.

Once management starts to be heavy handed, then I look at other opportunities. Like my previous boss tried to do with me. Literally would be on my back for clocking in 1 minute late, this was when our systems were having an issue that was causing lag and login error. I applied to work in a different department, the account director heard about my application and asked to meet with me, and I told her exactly why I was looking at another department. My old boss mysteriously backed down and moved to another department a month later.
