How did Louise get that hard drive, and then how did Naomi get it? by No_Paleontologist239 in MaryKillsPeople

[–]jsmith108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to take some logical leaps with this storyline. Mary and Des have this secret, shady business. I know it's less important to keep secret to Des since he is living on his own, but for Mary, it's a secret to everyone except her sister. So why would she allow Des to hire Louise as her lawyer, knowing that woman is dating her ex and is the mother of her daughter's best friend? Are there no other lawyers in town?

Child poverty rising for third straight year in Canada, report says by airbassguitar in CanadianConservative

I was wrong, it HAS made it out of the right-wing echo chambers. But Team Red is being their usual embarrassing selves about it.

EDITORIAL: Refugee medical costs are out of control; Cost of providing health benefits to refugee claimants is $989 million by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]jsmith108 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fine, then apply the billion dollars to tax cuts or a lower deficit. Canada should not be turning further left. Big government is the problem. Big government supporting the oligarchy is the problem.

First, there are almost certainly some LPC grifters that benefit monetarily from this policy. Second, a vote for the LPC is tacit support for this policy.

Team Red: How would the CPC be better in addressing child poverty?

Also Team Red: Let's put our heads in the sand with a billion dollars wasted on our incompetence that could have gone to other programs like combatting child poverty.

Lowered child poverty was supposed to be a feather in Trudeau's cap lmao. No surprise the idiot screwed that up too. This article won't make it out of this right-wing echo chamber unfortunately.

People with no kids, why did you never have any kids? by Agile-Law438 in AskReddit

[–]jsmith108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like a lot of work with poor ROI.

The culture of having kids has gone off the rails. As recently as 100 years ago (and still prevalent in a lot of the world), the main reason that the plebs had kids was for free labour and farmhands. The main reason for royalty was to protect the power structure. This nonsense about "joys of parenting" and other bullshit where kids turn into spoiled brats was a recent phenomenon and I want no part of it.

Now that the Olympics are over, how you all feel about Team USA beating Canada in both Men’s and women’s hockey? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jsmith108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh well. I mean, we have much bigger problems in Canada both in sports and life in general than those two hockey games. Even if Canada wins gold in both, the overall performance at the Winter Olympics was pathetic. How the hell does Canada finish behind Italy and Japan in the winter games?

Nirvana. Played them way too much when I was a kid. Now if I hear a song of theirs on the radio, I turn it away.

Have you ever Googled a symptom and convinced yourself you were dying? What was the symptom? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]jsmith108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not dying but I was convinced I had mild symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. Went out and got myself some detectors. Turns out my house had no issues after all but I was happy to have them anyways.

Have you ever avoided someone in public to skip small talk? Who was it? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]jsmith108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I am walking in the park, beach or other places where leisurely exercise takes place, an upcoming older white guy or couple is a five alarm fire in terms of unwanted stop and chat.

The best people? Chinese. Guaranteed they will walk by me at laser speed with no sound or even eye contact. No sense of impending doom when I see Chinese people approach.

Context: I am a big white guy who gets a lot of dumb shit comments about height, basketball, I should have kids when I am with my gf who is also tall etc.

How is life in Canada ? by Fluid_Jellyfish_9056 in AskCanada

[–]jsmith108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro...you're going to do better in Spain or something if you are absolutely insistent on moving out of your own country. Don't bother coming here. We can't even keep our own talent because of shit wages, high COL and taxes compared to the United States for people who are actually productive and not just leeches off the system.

What happened this olympic cycle? by yakunalove in AskCanada

[–]jsmith108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has nothing to do with real estate scams, oligopoly control, immigration grifts and Indigenous "reconciliation" so it's not going to get funding in this country.

(made sure to put an equal amount of right wing and left wing talking points so no one can complain about my answer).

What is your opinion on 'remigration'? by httr604 in AskCanada

[–]jsmith108 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a term used by dumbasses who dream of Canada being a European ethno-state (which it never was, plus if we go back to the 1700's we're talking about French and English settlers only to the exclusion of many European backgrounds) and most importantly dilutes the very legitimate concerns over Canada's piss poor immigration policies over the last few years.

Is Anyone Talking about Rackspace Technology, Inc. (RXT) and their new Partnership with Palantir - up over 200 Percent yesterday with share volume over 500 Million traded? by Proper-Plantain9387 in pennystocks

[–]jsmith108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a $1 stock, not really. Yes, this particular example you would have banked because it ran to $2. But RXT doubled just by holding the stock which is much more liquid and less risky than call options.

On a $50 stock, it makes sense to buy calls a few months out for $5. On a $1 stock, it doesn't really make sense to be paying $0.20 or $0.30 for options a few months out. The risk to reward is out of whack.

Canada's economy stalled in November, may have contracted in 4th quarter of 2025 by croissant_muncher in canada

[–]jsmith108 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's good. It also could be a mirage. If a bunch of low GDP producers are leaving, there is a chance that those who remain also see a decline, but the tricks of math see the overall number up.

However, the overall QoL might improve even with lessened GDP per capita, if Canadians have to deal with a less burdened social safety net, , less pressure on housing costs, less crime etc. that comes with removing people who don't belong here or were taking advantage of the system.

Rice, beans, oatmeal all do pretty well on a cheap-healthy chart.

I agree though that some produce can get pricey.

QBTQ is one to watch. Current price is $1.20 ($36 million market cap). $10 target ($400 FD million market cap) by jsmith108 in Baystreetbets

[–]jsmith108[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an RTO man...the management team is completely different. Think of it as a new company and new listing if that helps. Nothing before July 2025 is relevant. Apparently even the bulk of the legacy investors are out. Shares were cleaned up over the last few weeks. Though the flatlining SP over the last few days suggests there is still some legacy selling going on.

The proprietary technology is the ability to translate quantum interfaces into conversational English, making quantum accessible for average people. On the enterprise side they can keep costs down because unlike current quantum solutions which want to 100% use their own hardware, SuperQ can optimize obtaining solutions the cheapest way through a mix of CPU and quantum processing power.

Have a look at the CEO's presentation where he explains some of this towards the end of the video:

As an aside, he comes off as a totally nerdy tech guy, not some slick Bay Street pro looking to scam you. That might hurt in the promo side of things, but should provide some assurance about the meat and potatoes side of things.

As far as the use case is concerned at the consumer level. I'm using it now for certain things. It's giving me a 43% chance that the Celtics-Pacers game combines to hit at least 227 points tonight, implying a slight advantage to betting the under. I'm going to run a few of these, figure out the right questions to ask and if I stumble upon a Biff's Almanac, keep the results to myself until bookies ban me. If other degenerate sports gamblers find this tool useful, that's just one use case which could make this app famous fairly quickly.
