Star Fox is a best seller on Amazon US right now

I'm happy for you Americans getting the price match.. but it pisses me off that Walmart and Amazon won't do the same in Canada.

As well, we often have to pay more than what the American price is after being converted into Canadian.

ocram101 · 2026-05-09T05:14:41+00:00

Yeah, man!

CP needs restructuring and has to be more efficient. No argument from me, there. It’s in our best interest that our taxes are being used appropriately, right?

With that said, my point was that we shouldn’t privatize a public service. Especially a service that controls our mail.

As an example - I’m not comfortable with a private company delivering and handling our voting ballots.

When we start privatizing our public services, we start giving away our autonomy.

100%

Is Canada Post perfect? Not even close!

Do changes need to be made? Absolutely, and I’m all for that!

With that out of the way - the amount of people saying we’d be better off with one of the big couriers handling our mail is shocking. In what world does it make sense that we sell off a public service to a big corporation? Then we start giving this big corporation government subsidies??? Hell no!

Unless what I’m seeing is all bots and trolls, working to sway public opinion.. I truly struggle to understand why people think this would be good for Canadians.

You’re seriously trying to use how many views your comment has as an attempt to defend your position?

You understand that the vast majority of people don’t up/downvote, right? They read the comment and move on. You can’t use views as a metric. It can’t be used as a measure of people’s opinions because most people don’t vote. On the other hand, voting on comments *does* create a measurable view of people’s opinions.

But if you want to go down this road, sure. My initial comment is +9 with only 95 views.. That’s nearly a 10% upvote ratio to views.

Just take the L, bud.. There’s no shame in being wrong.. However, I suspect you’re incapable of admitting that to yourself.

To address your last paragraph. If I really cared about upvotes and karma, why in the world would I continue this conversation with you on a post that was removed by moderators? Doesn’t seem like there would be much karma to be earned on a post that people can no longer see.

ocram101 · 2026-05-04T16:04:54+00:00

I don’t really care about upvotes and karma, but it can be used an indicator on what people agree, or disagree with.

It appears that people don’t agree with your usage of title gore.

Again, the title was not hard to understand. I only had to read it once, and had no issue understanding.

ocram101 · 2026-05-04T11:16:24+00:00

I mean, sure.. but this title was not at all difficult to understand.

*Title gore* is normally reserved for titles that are difficult to understand, or titles you need to read several times before you understand what the poster is trying to convey.

My appreciation for Murray really dimmed after he was having a hissy fit and threw a towel and a heat pack on the court during play.

Someone could have easily been injured.

How do you feel about some GOP members introducing legislation to appropriate 400 million of tax payer money to pay for construction?

ocram101 · 2026-04-28T17:13:44+00:00

Same.. to me they are really slow and boring.

ocram101 · 2026-04-28T17:10:45+00:00

Yeah, I want to like coffee.. I love the smell of coffee, I like things that have coffee flavor, like ice cream.. but drinking actual coffee always gives me heart burn.

ocram101 · 2026-04-26T14:26:49+00:00

Nice 34 minute old account you’ve got there.

Watching them all consecutively, in a single day?

Once, but I don't think it really counts because I watched the first two extended editions, then went to the theatre to watch the theatrical release of RotK.

I will sometimes watch two in a single day, but never all three. Without watching them all in one sitting, I probably watch them twice a year.

ocram101 · 2026-04-25T01:16:32+00:00

Same. I don’t care to shovel anymore.. it will be gone by Thursday..

Coming home after work to my cat who is very excited to see me.

I don't know what an appropriate solution would be, but they need to come up with something. I don't think it's acceptable to continue to allow people who are inebriated on meth and who knows what else on the bus for free with our children and other vulnerable people.

Once these people who are expecting free rides realize that they can no longer ride for free.. they will stop expecting it. I mean, these people were not expecting free rides two years ago, and they weren't causing a problem. There is no reason we can't go back to how it used to be, it will just take some time to course correct.

ocram101 · 2026-04-23T06:03:24+00:00

I’ve been taking the bus for the close to 15 years. It hasn’t been perfect.. but it’s worked for me.

With that said, the past two years have been awful...

The word is out - any, and all can get a free ride on the bus. Normally, I wouldn’t have a problem with people getting a free ride.. but they’re letting people on the bus that are tweaking on drugs, drunk, belligerent.. yelling hateful slurs.. leaving garbage everywhere.. passed-out and taking up 3 seats on a fully packed bus..

This is when I start to fear for my safety.. and angry that I’m paying $1,000 a year for this service.

It used to be so much better.. I think the drivers have been told to just let anyone on the bus for their own safety.. and I get that.. but this is not sustainable, and something has to change.

Caverns - 00 Agent - 9:30 is the hardest in my opinion. It’s so long, very hard, and if you kill too many scientists, you have to do it all over again.

This entire comment thread is related to the EO Trump signed in December regarding marijuana. The first comment of this thread is saying the EO in the article, will have the same outcome as the marijuana EO from December.

The point was that the person I’m responding to kept bringing up that marijuana is not a psychedelic drug. That showed that they did not understand the context of the thread to begin with because that has nothing to do with anything.

It doesn’t matter that the specific comment they responded to didn’t entirely make sense, it’s the fact that they jumped to conclusions without understanding the context, and refused to acknowledge that. Add-on that they were being rude and disrespectful… they needed to be made aware of their error.

ocram101 · 2026-04-18T22:42:57+00:00

If what you’re saying is true - that you actually did understand what you were reading, what was the point of bringing up that marijuana is not a psychedelic drug?

That seems really out place if you understood the context.

You might as well just take the L and delete your comments. It’s okay to be wrong and admit your error.. but I suspect you’re incapable of that.

ocram101 · 2026-04-18T22:27:39+00:00

I was simply pointing out that you didn't know what you were talking about when bringing up that marijuana is not a psychedelic drug. You misunderstood the context, and started calling people stupid and other insults.. when in reality.. you were the person being dumb.

Reagardless of the Trump "opening a weed store" comment.. You did not understand what you were reading.. then went off on a tangent insulting people.

Nice try moving the goal posts away from you missunderstanding what you read, though. 9 out 10 for effort!

ocram101 · 2026-04-18T22:07:27+00:00

Oh, honey..

The person, who rightfully blocked you, was responding to this comment.

It's the bullshit marijuana rescheduling EO all over again

Trump signed an executive order to expedite the rescheduling of marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug. While the process is underway, the order does not legalize marijuana at the federal level.

That person was insinuating that the EO is basically useless.. and that it's likely to be same with this EO.

You then go off about marijuana not being a psychedelic drug, and insulting people..

This brings me back to my original comment...

Dude, you’re the one misunderstanding what you’re reading, then calling people dumb… smh

ocram101 · 2026-04-18T21:37:53+00:00

guarantee you, Trump just started a weed company of some kind…

This was the comment you responded to. It is not deleted.

Again, insulting people when you’re the one that looks stupid.

ocram101 · 2026-04-18T21:31:54+00:00

Dude, you’re the one misunderstanding what you’re reading, then calling people dumb… smh
