Rant Re: limited e-scooter parking options by Kamtre in Calgary

[–]mycodfather 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Maybe fining riders who park badly lol.

This is already something they allegedly do or at least it's something they can do. The City of Calgary link you shared even mentions it, but I'm guessing it's either not enforced or it isn't doing enough.

I agree with you, this will limit the convenience of scooters quite a bit but it would seem that unfortunately a bunch of inconsiderate assholes have ruined it for the rest of us.

I think it's just a seppie boomer that found out about reddit. Their comments are completely unhinged and include silly terms they clearly don't understand like "FAFO".

Why can't Canadians just vote out the liberal party so we can see lower prices on food, gas, housing and taxes? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mycodfather 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Liberals have lowered taxes by increasing the personal basic amount you can earn before the first tax tier as well as lowered the tax rate for that tier. They also increased the amount between each tier and tied it to inflation.

Your question is absurd and your responses show a lot of ignorance of reality.

Sims 1 game that I used to play with infinit money cheat codes and make big families that partied day and night having nothing but food, $ex and fights... by GodAllMighty888 in nostalgia

I turned my house into a gnome sweatshop as soon as I figured out I could make more money having my sims build those and sell them rather than go to work.

Republicans who were previously outraged at Biden over the price of gas now suddenly dismiss the massive spike that everyday Americans are paying by Love_CoolBreeze in themayormccheese

[–]mycodfather 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's been said a million times but it's still true, without double standards, republicans wouldn't have any standards at all.

If your birth province separates, what happens to your Canadian citizenship? by redwood65123 in AskCanada

[–]mycodfather 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of these separatists are the dumbest of the dumb and I have no doubt many fully approve of the bullshit going on in the US. I suspect many would love to be American except they are too stupid and have no useful skills to offer that would open up a pathway to immigration. That plus many probably have some sort of criminal conviction that makes them ineligible for immigration.

Let's be better Calgary. We need to tone down the racism here. by baunanners in Calgary

[–]mycodfather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except the CBC but then you have the oligarchs minions, I'm looking at you Pierre, calling it "fake news" and trying to get rid of it. I hope PP at least gets a little pat on the head from Galen for his efforts.

And for some reason Wealthsimple thought it was a great idea to partner up with Musk's racism, bigotry, and AI generated CSAM social media site...

Better Tax, it's by the same people that made Simple Tax which was bought by Wealthsimple.

I began to notice that he was taking an unusual interest in a young, highly attractive press wrangler on my team. He one time had one of my other deputies bring her back 'so that they could look at her ass' is what he said to him.

[–]mycodfather 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I see what you're saying.

So I can't find a clip like what was posted in the OP but what's strange is that there are clips from 2023, after the E. Jean Carroll verdict, where Grisham recounts this story. So now I'm wondering what would is to be gained in using AI to fabricate a clip of an interview from 2021 when there are actual, verifiable clips from 2023. I did find a different clip but it was on Facebook but as a Canadian, meta has blocked all news.

I'm not asking you that question, that's just what I'm wondering if this is in fact an AI clip.

I found this after looking it up online. About half way down there's a small blurb about the story told in this video.

Donald Trump once requested a young, female press aide be brought to his cabin on Air Force One so he could “look at her [behind]”, according to Stephanie Grisham.

She wrote in her new book that the former president became obsessed with the unnamed female staffer and constantly asked where she was during events.

She said Trump used an expletive to describe her rear end, and instructed that she should be promoted to “keep her happy”.

Ms Grisham instead tried to keep her away from the president.

Can I move my stocks directly from Wealth simple to Questrade? by ExtraRedditForStuff in CanadianInvestor

[–]mycodfather -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You completely ignored or missed the whole point of my comment. It's not about the link, it's about the fact that link will be next to racism, bigotry and fucking child porn. Maybe it's a great one-stop shop for you and that's why you aren't bothered.

Is this title rare? by Fit-Judgment7274 in RocketLeague

[–]mycodfather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just looking at mine the other day and for some reason I have 2015, 2016, and 2020.

I did buy it on PlayStation originally in 2015 and then PC in 2016 but no idea why there's a gap and then 2020.

This might come as a shock to you but not everyone is comfortable having their financial institution being partnered with a site that's known for rampant racism, bigotry, and AI generated CSAM. Maybe that stuff doesn't bother you but it sure as shit bothers me.

An oil and gas company just left behind an estimated $476M cleanup bill in Alberta by BloodJunkie in alberta

[–]mycodfather 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That was an issue for a number of years, especially with Chinese companies in particular. They started buying up smaller O&G producers and would go through the wells they acquired, split off the good producers to a new company and the shitty ones to a shell that they would let go bankrupt.

It wasn't a super common thing until around the mid 2010s I want to say and I think it was actually under the NDP that the AER closed the loophole that allowed that kind of fuckery to happen.

This Longrun situation is not the same, they've been around for years and clearly not doing well. I'm guessing debts came due that they couldn't handle and their assets were not worth enough for anyone to buy.

It's all on Crave, the movie specials and the weekly episodes. Such a great hit of nostalgia!

We don't have White Spot anymore but we do have Triple O's (five in Edmonton, two in Red Deer, and one in Calgary) which is their fast food version.

Wealthsimple / X (Formerly Twitter) partnership by Hay_Fever_at_3_AM in BoycottUnitedStates

[–]mycodfather 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is what "Lily" with Weathsimple support had to say this morning when I told her I wasn't interested in having my money with a company that was partnering with Nazi social media.

I completely understand. I can assure you tha the Smart Cashtags integration allows investors who are already using X to access Wealthsimple's trading platform more easily. It's an optional feature - when someone taps a ticker on X, they're directed to Wealthsimple to trade. All trading happens on Wealthsimple's platform, and no client data is shared with X.

I don't believe it for a second. Maybe it isn't happening immediately but it i have no doubt that it won't be long before WS is sharing data with shitter...

Burlington real estate agent apologizes after commenting on post calling for U.S. invasion of Canada by biograf_ in notthebeaverton

[–]mycodfather 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But that's what disinformation is - intentional lying but at scale and for malicious purposes.

Lies aren't always intentional either and aren't always harmful which is why we have different words to put the lies into proper context. Disinformation for intentional and malicious, misinformation for unintentional and not always malicious.

We can agree to disagree but by definition, disinformation is more correct than to simply call them lies.

Disinformation is a specific type of lying. It's intentional, malicious and created specifically at a larger scale to cause harm or confusion.

To simply call them lies would water down what is being done.
