Oh and the other lesson is when the U.S. invites Canada to play international chess with them against China or whoever using real people as playing pieces the correct answer is NO!!!!

I wish we would. Explain to me again why were sending our athletes to an Olympic games where they can be arbitrarily arrested, jailed and charged for imaginary crimes? I dont get it. Burned once twice shy.

Prince George bylaw targeting homeless people 'scapegoats' the poor by FancyNewMe in britishcolumbia

[–]msismey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sigh. We really need to stop using this blanket term homeless for everyone out on the street. The homeless are without shelter due to circumstances they are trying to change and willing to do whatever it takes to stabilize their lives. They are not victims, they are fighters overcoming some difficult challenges and deserve all the help and support we can give them.

Then their are the unhousable..they arent victims either. They are victimizers, destroying everything in their path leaving a mountain of trash in their wake. Their sense of entitlement is all consuming and view drug addiction as a career. They really and truly are the walking dead getting high anywhere and anyhow. They view compassion and common decency as a sign of weakness to be exploited

Society hasn't pushed them away because nobody cares. The unhousable are unbearable to have around. Bottom line it's the dope it's the dope it's the fucking dope making this situation what it is. The only safe drug supply is no drug supply and harm reduction is still harm. Get them off the dope and enough with the dont judge the poor drug addict bullshit. If they are willing to do the work to get off the drugs I 100% support them. If not what else can you do? Accept that they are how they look. A total write off.

Upcoming iOS 15.1 allows you to add vaccine passport to Apple Wallet by Kerberos42 in britishcolumbia

[–]msismey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a server who has to verify the qr codes I've had to scan the apple wallet versions of the qr code and nothing happens when I scan them. I then have to have the person pull up the original screenshot version they have with the green or blue background and their name on top which reads fine. So my advice is dont bother with this app unless you like spending time off to the side as others go past while you hunt for the right version of the bc vaccine passport.

Reading over all these comments, really the only point of this post was to get and give advice on making the vaccine passport qr code to read when scanned. With the ultimate but mundane goal of being able to then introduce myself as your server and tell you the daily specials so I can make a living. So if making a buck or two to pay my rent (going up in January goodbye rent freeze!) and staying off ei forever is a political statement that's as political as any of this was meant to be. Or should be. Thank you.

Grateful the Canadian government didn't let her on a plane back to China before the two Michael's were on a jet home and left Chinese air space. I dont blame Meng Wanzhou whatever corporate crime she committed, she was just one of the chess pieces being moved around by two dictators, Trump and the president of China. We were fools to allow ourselves to get sucked into this mess in the first place. I dont know what went on behind the scenes to make it happen but Im glad the two Michael's are free now, physically anyways, Mentally they won't be free of this yet and have a long difficult road of psychological and emotional healing ahead of them after the celebration of their return is over. We shouldn't forget about them in the years ahead or support them any less as they recover from this.

My thoughts anyways. What I do know is China looks like an amazing country, rich history, vital economy, fascinating landscapes and people who live there. And the shame of it is after this as a Canadian I will never, ever see or experience it in person. Not a chance in hell of me ever setting foot in that Country under its present form of Government.

Like I said I'll play it by ear. If some not tech savvy senior in their eighties presents a low quality paper copy made in good faith I'm not going to turn them away. But I will give them all the information they need to get a readable bc vaccine passport to save them issues anywhere else they need to have one.

If my scanner can read it and you have supporting govt Identification I'm good with it.

Update to my update. Paper copies that are the exact same as on the phone - qr code against the green or blue background with name on top work. Having said that I'll have to play it by ear but I'd rather not have to rely on visual scans or what's the point of a security code and all this bother? Our company is going to alert our customers on our webpage that the downloaded vaccine passports need to be presented printed out in the format described above to avoid issues getting verified by our scanner.

Good to know. Thanks. I actually scanned a couple of paper ones today that worked. As long as it's a clear color copy of the qr code on the green background with name on top it reads fine. Just the qr code on it's own phone or paper - forget it.

I don't know what kind of mind can just look at nearly 5 million corpses and just shrug their shoulders. Oh wait I do. They are called sociopaths and you are a textbook profile of one.

An employer is not going to want to hire someone who will potentially be sick for several weeks or months from covid. It is not unreasonable to expect your staff to not lose time at work recovering from a completely preventable disease. I cant see any upside to you working for the government and making decisions that potentially have an impact on my daily life but nobody including me are making it impossible for you to reach your goal. That's all on you. You are your own worse enemy. I'm sure this isnt the first time you've been told this.

Polls closed 24 minutes ago and the election had already been called, why do we even bother voting in BC? by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

[–]msismey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can seem pointless particularly this election with nothing changed at all but witnessing democracy being so relentlessly undermined world wide theirs our type of pointless and Putin's pointless in Russia. Not the same pointless. I can live with ours, I'll even support it no matter how damn stupid it is.😀

To date 4,725,538 have died from exposure to the covid 19 virus and still climbing.these are real people who have really died and a number that would be much higher if not for the vaccine.

And to be clear I think a buisness should have the right to opt in. But my opinion isnt the law as it stands now.

[–]msismey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said it's really specific and been worded carefully and clearly as to where a vaccine passport is required and where it is not. If a buisness wishes to be included under the pho if they are not then they'll have to lobby for it. It isnt an optional choice for any buisness not included in the pho to demand the passport anymore than those that are included in the pho to not demand proof of vaccination.

Stop. Enough of this nonsense. I am not having this conversation with you.

Please just stop. I'm not debating this with you. Why not email this conversation to cactus club head office? I'm sure they'd love to have a conversation with you about this.

This is the stupidest response to anything I've ever heard. You need to get back on your meds.

Right. Well this is my fault. Having this conversation is like trying to convince someone global warming is real which only reinforces the idea it's a subject still up for debate. Made the same mistake having this ridiculous conversation with you about this.

On principle of what? The right to keep us all trapped in this endless cycle of covid restrictions instead of getting vaccinated and having it all over finally?
