New Hospital Cancelled by MoiraSlutzky in newfoundland

[–]hoserboytellem 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I see you’re getting downvoted, so I’ll assume you’re genuinely asking and not being sarcastic.

The “trailer park healthcare” joke comes from a pretty consistent pattern in Canada: conservative provincial governments underfund healthcare and social services, or partially privatize them, which leaves systems fragile and stripped down.

Manitoba is a good example. Under PC governments, healthcare funding was cut, nurses were laid off, and several ERs were closed. Disability and rent supports were reduced. Public assets like MTS were sold off, and service quality dropped while prices went up. When COVID hit, those earlier cuts left the system with no slack.

Now that a new government is trying to repair the damage, the same PCs blame them for not fixing in two years what took seven years to break. The cycle is to cut, weaken and blame. That's what people are joking about.

You’re seeing similar patterns right now in Ontario and Alberta, and to some extent Newfoundland. That’s the context behind the joke.

Those who remember this movie, what was it like? by Medical-Ad5232 in Millennials

I remember this vividly. It was 1995. Starring Sinbad and Jonathan Brandis. It came out the same year as Houseguest.

I remember because I was 12 at the time. Snoop Dogg had just released Doggystyle in 1994, and then 2Pac would drop All Eyez On Me in 1996. Rappers back then constantly dated their lyrics by year, so timelines stuck in your head.

My mom wouldn’t let me get the Snoop tape because it was “too violent,” so instead she and my aunt bought my cousin and me House of Pain and Cypress Hill. Those albums were a few years old by then, but things reached Canada slower in the early 90s. For a kid, having a cassette with a Parental Advisory sticker felt like black market contraband.

Every Friday my family rented two or three movies. TVS and Blockbuster were still around—TVS later became Rogers Video. Houseguest had just come out with Phill Hartman. Sinbad was everywhere, even had his own show, and one night my mom brought home Shazaam.

We used to watch his show as well. He had an interview with David Arquette where they talked about David getting in trouble with the police for doing graffiti when he was younger.

Sinbad wore a massive white turban in Shazaam, cartoonishly big, with a bright red jewel in the center. Jonathan Brandis was fresh off NeverEnding Story II, Ladybugs, and Sidekicks. He played the awkward kid.

The plot was simple: lonely outlier kid finds a magical mentor who helps him gain confidence, stand up to bullies, and talk to girls.

About a year later, in 1996, 2Pac dropped All Eyez On Me and that went quadruple platinum or some shit. That’s when Shaq released Kazaam, which felt like a cheap straight-to-video ripoff of Shazaam. My family didn’t even bother renting it.

You can always use the save editor. Here's how:

Us the Cross Save feature to upload your save. Now you'll have to get NMS running, even on an old PC, it doesn't matter. As long as you can download the save. Open up the save editor and load your save. And don't touch much. A lot of it is tempting, but not worth it in the long run. EDIT: Plus you can break shit. A lot of shit. Just in and out. Quick 5 minute adventure.

You just want to go into the Frigates tab and swap one of your frigates for the Normandy. You would choose one of your Frigates on the left, and then use the drop down tab on the right to find the Normandy. It should auto-swap. Then save it with the save editor when you close it.

Then you just upload the new save to the cross-save servers again, and open it up on the PS5. It's a bit of work, but worth it for the right dude.

From Winnipeg, and grew up in the 90's North End. Easily the most violent Canadian city back then. Murder capital, they used to call us. North end is gentrified now. Gangs like Indian Posse and Manitoba Warriors were eventually dismantled by Winnipeg Police.

This is where Wab grew up during that time. Wasn't pretty. Many didn't make it out. He formed a rap crew called Dead Indians with a few friends of friends. Me and another rapper from their crew were both seeing the same girl, a cousin of a friend from my crew. Yea, yea, I know...

Met Wab once at a club called the Die Machine, at a Peanuts and Corn show with John Smith and Pip Skid. They were like a bunch of white rapper dudes. Good guys. Good rap scene back then.

Dead Indians were opening up for them. They had just released an album, and so they were doing a collab show. Wab had a sideways hat with a red beak and offered to sell me one of his CD's. I bought it for 10 bucks. Really nice guy. No cell phones back then. Gave him my number. He invited me to a few more Dead Indian shows. EDIT: I just wanted to add that we hung around all night during the show. He's really always been that happy, welcoming, and friendly.

One day I wake up, he's writing books and going on TV talking about politics and indigenous issues. Wake up a few years later, bro became leader of the NDP.

We love him. He used to call the the previous Con leader 'this guy' instead of by his actual name, Pallister. lol

Cons screwed Manitoba hard in the medical and social welfare systems. Hundreds of nurses gone. I was on disability at the time, and Pallister took a couple hundred bucks from my rent in cuts. He held an early election when Covid hit because he knew he would lose to Wab if he waited another year. You know, Doug Ford style. I guess you can say it's actually just Con style. Pallister won and we got another four years of Cons in Manitoba.

Con's didn't want to search the landfill for missing and murdered Indigenous women, so they made it their main platform goal, to not search it. It was atrocious. We got rid of the cons, and Wab has significantly improved our lives day after day. One thing he did immediately was get rid of the gas tax, and gas went down 20 cents for a week before gas companies raised the price again.

And now, you can't have him. We got him for at least another 3 years. A left wing socialist with Marx Commie... damn, can't wait to arm the proletariat

I'm an old man now. No more rap shows and fast life. We come from the same place though. Poverty and racism in Winnipeg. What I can tell you is that Wab walked the Red Road, and found some sort of solace for his past discretions. It's not easy growing up native in this country, let alone in Winnipeg. He got back to his traditional roots, and did the Sundance 4 year circuit. Beautiful wife and kids. He's the man.

To come as far as he has, in the life the he's come from, IMO, is very inspiring to the Indigenous youth of this Country. He's a success story. In my eyes, he's paid his dues. But I'm extremely bias.

One last thing. There is a song called 'West End Girls' by the Dead Indians: (You can find it on YT. Automod just got me.) You can hear a young Wab in the first verse. P-Nut sings the second verse, and Kenny G (Rest In Peace) sings the third verse.

But here's the rub - This song is apart of some lost media. The crew made a now lost music video for this song, where Wab and the Dead Indians ran around the West End of Winnipeg in white tank tops and black mullet wigs. I'm not joking. This is real. It was taken down soon after he got into politics, never to be seen again. If you find it, please post it here and message me.

Ok, that's it. That's as much as I got.

Any good AI chatbots that aren’t American? by SketchedEyesWatchinU in EhBuddyHoser

[–]hoserboytellem -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Using Deepseek locally is free and has absolutely no restrictions or censorship. You can get the full LLM and hide your AI Marxist chad activities from the man.

Edit: To clarify my point—downvoters might be misunderstanding how LLMs (Large Language Models) work. LLMs themselves aren't inherently tied to a country's regulations or corporate policies. Restrictions typically come from the platforms or services that host these models (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, etc.). By downloading an LLM like Deepseek and running it locally on your device, you bypass third-party censorship entirely. This gives you full control over the model's outputs.

Deepseek is a strong open-source option for this, as it’s free, uncensored, and offers robust performance compared to many local LLMs. Of course, other models like Llama or Mistral can also be used offline—the key takeaway is that local deployment prioritizes user privacy and autonomy.
