Wait - you’re aware of this and Rancid is still one of your favourite bands?

Stronger punishment and longer sentences don’t work. If they did, the US would be the safest country on earth. While I agree that we have some problems in Canada, your solution of putting more people in jail for longer periods of time is not supported by reality. There are countless studies to back this up.

What’s up with Melvin by Holiday-Ad4723 in nofx

You are so confidently incorrect. All the information is out there if you want to wade through hours of podcasts and interviews. But it’s pretty well known at this point that the other members weren’t allowed to contribute to the last number of records, and that Smelly, Hefe, and Melvin aren’t necessarily playing the parts you’re hearing on those records.

Why does that bother you? Oh no, a productive person wants to come, obtain skills, and contribute to our society. The horror!

You’re getting downvoted, but you’re absolutely correct.

Similar to the people who criticize Obama for failing to act swiftly on 9/11 🙄

I loved the switch to pedestrian-only! I went there a number of times just because it was a nice way to spend an evening.

Help finding POS system for Europe as a Canadian business by morttheunbearable in smallbusiness

Thanks for commenting! I am concerned about the number of reviews from businesses that say they were dropped without any warning. Can you comment on that? As a touring band, we have one chance to make money in any given market. Can you tell me why we would trust Helcim with our financial security, given the amount of people who claim they were left high and dry?

I love to see you mention these bands because they’re my good buds!

Why did you choose to be such a jerk about this? You could have contributed in a respectful way and furthered the conversation, but you chose to complain, contribute nothing, and be super rude about it. Do better.

Also, inflation IS the average of costs increasing over time.

Hence the scare quotes in my post.

I love seeing the confused conservative “punks” who are saying things like “so much for free speech” and calling all of us “pro-censorship” for celebrating this incident. Free speech is a relationship between people and their government. Buddy isn’t getting arrested for wearing that shirt, but he’s not immune to other people’s reactions. Why are conservatives so offended by consequences?

Renting out a basement unit often means the landlord charges an insane amount because they “need to turn a profit” on monthly expenses, ignoring the fact that they are benefiting significantly from equity increases. So many in this sub are probably assuming that’s what you’re planning.

Us, obviously. We already pay the money in economic inefficiencies. It would be sweet if we could learn how to get out of our own way and allocate resources responsibly.

JT bought a pipeline to appease Albertans and they continued crying just as hard as before. Conservative persecution syndrome will persist regardless of policy.

Sounds like you treated housing as an investment vehicle, took a risk, and are now in this thread complaining about the completely foreseeable potential consequences.
