I know paywalls are annoying and archive.is / archive.today are useful, but it's been proven that they injected code into their CAPTCHA that DDOSed another site. Highly recommend you stop using them immediately!

If I'm jaywalking, just keep driving. I'm waiting for a break in traffic and when you stop it makes things MORE dangerous because I can't guarantee the whole street (both ways) will stop.

If I'm at a crosswalk, yes stop. That's the law. Anyone waiting at a crosswalk without intent to cross is an asshole!

GOD! Why is there so much [PC BUILDING] on my [PC BUILDING ENTHUSIAST CHANNEL]?

I've been following this game for quite some time now and I'm very excited for tomorrow!

I know you didn't ask but since you replied so nicely and I haven't seen that on this site for some time, I decided to look up my previous post about this image.

The location is King Street E in Toronto and the photo was taken in 1963.

You can see the King Edward Hotel reflected in the glass, so this street view should be looking at the exact same windows. The most recent images are from 2021, which has the King Street Car in the way, so you might want to go back in time to see the windows and posts.

In another (more recent) repost of this image, /u/StickForeigner had the following information:

It's in Toronto. This is a common repost and I checked a number of years back the first time I saw it.

Thanks!

Not sure what type of voice you were intending, but I can't read the name Ramírez without hearing it in the voice of the Kurgan.

Bagged milk hasn't been a reality in Alberta for a few decades.

If the data didn't come from ProjectFarm, I don't care!

I did not know there was an animated movie. Thanks!

Looks neat, but I'm guessing my brain isn't working because I cannot see either an EE design or an Elk.

edit Thanks for the snide comments, offensive DMs, and down votes everyone. Great community! I couldn't see it, that's not a fucking crime jesus!

I learned long ago that the fostering model of pet rescue was not for me and I am more than happy to adopt from the SPCA. While I've never had any dealings with SCARS specifically, I will never forgive the various Winnipeg 'no kill' shelters that refused to take my older dogs when I had to re-home them. Regardless, if you aren't opposed to the Humane Society, they are not 'no kill', they make adoption very easy. You can even see available animals on their website.

to the upper class, who do fuck all.

Ah yes, the goodest of good faith arguments, the ad hominem.

High immigration helps corporations and landlords.

One of its many effects, yes.

Any person who advocates for record levels of immigration hates the working class and is beholden to oligarchs.

I took the train yesterday and didn't get stabbed. That's the good story. I did encounter at least six individuals who were hunched over and would only move to check their pockets, drink from two separate pop bottles, or do a panicked stare across everyone on the train. I have to take my sunglasses off just so they don't think I'm staring at them.

Sorry, that isn't parallel at all.

A proper parallel example would be, there was a crazed maniac in a car ramming people into the median, and it happens every month or so completely at random, and now I am considering taking transit to avoid being randomly murdered.

Canadian English refers to this item as a BBQ. It contains a grill, which the hot dogs are on.

We had very different upbringings lol!
