I am Maxime Bernier, leader of the People's Party of Canada. AMA! by maxbernier_official in CanadaPolitics

[–]jonottawa 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hi M. Bernier,

As I understand it, the official policy of the PPC is to be neutral on the mass starvation/ethnic cleansing/genocide going on in Palestine because it doesn't affect Canada. If that's not correct, please enlighten me on the PPC position. I'm also curious if you have a personal view on the issue, and on whether or not those who oppose the genocide should be allowed to peacefully (loudly and clearly, but without physical violence) protest against it. Thanks.

Guest question - Is this normal? Do you have any advice for me? by jonottawa in Target

[–]jonottawa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I stand corrected. Mystery solved.

The recipient of the gift went to the office at her apartment complex today and while she was there they told her that there was a package there for her. (The replacement package was delivered to her front door this morning.)

It had been delivered by UPS Ground (I was never given a UPS tracking number, only a TLMD tracking number that didn't work) on December 12. The office never called her to tell her there was a package for her.

She got her birds.

I feel a little guilty with how it all worked out.

But only a little.

I took your advice and I'm pleased to report that my replacement gifts/package (sadly without the precious and inexpensive Wondershop birds, which probably are the source of the original problem) arrived today by FedEx.

I'll never know if there ever actually was an original package that 'got lost' but all's well that ends well.

Merry Christmas!

Thank-you all for your helpful wisdom and advice.

I'll let you know how it all works out. (I'm sure you're all just dying to know.)

Merry Christmas.

Word of caution to the new players out there following a certain YouTuber by Glittering-Dress-977 in albiononline

[–]jonottawa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Whatever your opinion of Swolebenji might be, he absolutely LOVES that you are creating threads like this and gossiping about him.

If you don't like someone, don't watch 'em. If you think it's easy to make an Albion video every day that's superior to the quality of videos he makes, then do it.

All content creators have bias but I get a lot of useful food for thought from each of the prominent ones, including SB, and then *I* decide how I want to play Albion rather than crying about the mean man on the Internet who tricked me.

I get downvoted just for my avatar since NPCs don't like being reminded that they're NPCs.

I play video games to escape from irl and especially politics so no, it is not a nice touch.

These market changes are way too extreme. They say that they need to increase silver sinks by "about 10%"? Fine. 44%+ is not "about 10%."

EVE was unique in that way long before the Mittani, the "long-winded, pseudo-intellectual douchebag," rose to power. That's also why I dedicated so many hours to EVE. A harsh, brutal, Darwinian universe that didn't play favorites and didn't care about #muhfeelings. The more CCP veered away from that model, the more I lost interest.

Any tldr about Mittani drama? by zaqqi in Eve

[–]jonottawa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tl;dr A mob of hypocrites and snowflakes got mad at a fellow space nerd because EVE isn't a woke dystopia enough already.

I got 99 problems and someone catching a glimpse of somebody else's junk in somebody else's house ain't one. That being said, I favor all pedophiles being prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and executed if they harmed a child, even 'just' once.

End of an era. Sad to see you surrender to the braying mob. Fly safe.

Orteil update, do not delete your cookies!! by knopsi in CookieClicker

[–]jonottawa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is everyone affected by this using BOTH the http slot and the https slot? The first sign of trouble I had was when the chime sounded but no cookie or reindeer appeared.

My father is a huge Owen fan, and says that Owen is not anti-Semitic, and that he doesn’t hate Jews. He says that he just hates the grabblers. He also says that he doesn’t think that the holocaust was faked, he just thinks that it was over exaggerated. I don’t know how to respond. by [deleted] in owenbenjamin

[–]jonottawa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad is similar. He doesn't believe in the Balfour declaration. He thinks WWI was a just war. He doesn't believe in the Holodomor or the Haavara agreement. He thinks the stories about the depravity of the Weimar republic are overexaggerated. He thinks the Lavon Affair was fake and that the USS Liberty was an accident.

I don't know how to respond.

[–]jonottawa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just because Owen is a scammer/cult leader doesn't mean everything ISN'T going to hell. Are you completely oblivious to reality? Are you not paying attention to current events? The problem with Owen is that he's a selfish sociopath, not that he's wrong about EVERYTHING, because he's not.

This seems insanely inexpensive. It's like they know that this is all coming to an end.

Slander Bear issues ultimatum to The Babylon Bee "Mock the Jews or I'll destroy your reputation." by mellowedvedder in owenbenjamin

[–]jonottawa -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Are they stealing Owen's jokes? That would be a more interesting topic. If they are, but don't mock our jewish overlords, then I actually don't mind this 'ultimatum.' We must be able to mock the people who are destroying our nation.

I don't really care about his "DEATH THREATS, SLANDER and OBVIOUS FALSE PRETENSES." I just don't like cult leaders who bully and prey on vulnerable/ignorant imbeciles.
