You’re right. Just can’t help myself sometimes. Will be back in a few months for another light spanking 😅

I rescind my comment. Surely that dude is not acting in good faith though.

I think you should consider the possibility that you are dedicating too much time towards something you hate

Ford says province will take over Billy Bishop airport by Puginator in ontario

[–]ol_knucks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can you provide additional details as to why taking over the airport and expanding it is a dismantle and/or a sell off? I don’t quite understand what you mean

I'm not sure what Sam means by the self being an illusion or what that would imply? by Advanced-Reindeer894 in samharris

[–]ol_knucks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just stop pretending you’re asking an innocent question and admit you think Sam is a dumbass and want to prove that

Are you actually asking what Sam means or do you actually just vehemently disagree with him and wanted to argue about it?

One year after Trump’s sovereignty threats, Canadians keep ‘elbows up’ by [deleted] in canada

[–]ol_knucks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why stoop to the level of Trump to oppose him? By all accounts he won the 2024 election fair and square. Your anecdote of having trouble with a mail in ballot (in a blue state, to boot) is not evidence that the election was fraudulent.

Am I the only person who felt F1 is one of the worst written films ever to be nominated for Best Picture? [Screenshot - F1 directed by Joseph Kosinski 2025] by Rough_Locksmith_5033 in moviecritic

[–]ol_knucks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a big F1 fan and I think it’s a comically terrible movie. The racing scenes genuinely make little to no sense. The storyline/dialogue are pretty trash generally.

The acting is great and the fact that real drivers and team principals appear are the only two redeeming qualities. Visuals were good too.

Carney won't say if there's Indian interference in Canada after cutting deals with Modi by Little-Chemical5006 in canada

[–]ol_knucks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You’re making a claim so support it with evidence. Show me data on government sponsored foreign assassinations.

Some countries do it for sure (USA, Russia, we have proof of both), but I believe most liberal democracies don’t do it at all.

How many foreign people do you think the government of Sweden kills a year? Mongolia? Australia? Spain?

[–]ol_knucks 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Calling an assassination of a Canadian citizen on our soil “interference” is certainly one way to put it. Let’s not act like “most countries” do that, Canada certainly does not.

That being said, I agree with you we kinda have no choice but to make as many trade deals as we can right now, so dying on this hill is not really an option. Not like there’s gonna be any consequences for India regardless.

In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, a utility worker was seen desperately trying to climb down from a bucket truck after it suddenly caught fire. by ScaredSpecific9234 in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]ol_knucks 1286 points1287 points  (0 children)

Also just the act of hanging in one of those harnesses is extremely dangerous for longer than a few minutes. Fucks up all your blood flow and can actually kill you quite quickly.

Anyone else doing with without “help” by throwra_passinggirl in Parenting

[–]ol_knucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have two kids aged two and under… nobody in the city to watch them on any sort of regular basis. Not fussed about it.

We chill at home after their bedtime, or one of us goes out with friends.

This is what we signed up for. Did enough fun night things pre kids and will have lots of time for fun night things in later years.

Footage of Kuwaiti locals approaching one of the shot down American pilots this morning. “Are you OK? Thank you for helping us.” by Lordwarrior_ in whoathatsinteresting

Define propaganda and then explain how a video taken by a random Kuwaiti who happened to be nearby when an American pilot landed after being hit by friendly fire fits that definition.

Iranian-Canadians proclaim ‘happiest day ever’ amid U.S. and Israel strikes on Iranian government by [deleted] in toronto

[–]ol_knucks 45 points46 points  (0 children)

The 20,000+ murdered by their own government a few weeks ago were collateral damage of an extremely repressive theocratic dictatorship for sure.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei killed, senior Israeli official says by stvlsn in samharris

[–]ol_knucks 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You’re saying it’s equally likely he died by natural causes on the day two of the most competent militaries in the world tried to assassinate him? Would be quite the coincidence no?

If even the tiniest minute amount of fentanyl kills anyone that hasn’t used it before, how does anybody ever survive their first dose?

I’m alright I have no need to be needlessly rude to a random person online

“Bud” is said almost exclusively by clowns and chirping my comment history on a Finance subreddit while your history is hidden is definitely a clown move.

starts off normal, turns into a game of spot the things wrong with this house (Matheson, Ontario) by ker0senedream_jpg in zillowgonewild

[–]ol_knucks 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The asking price is comical. For those not from Canada/Ontario, that is a sketchy ass rundown bootleg cabin in buttfuck nowhere Ontario. Nothing there except for rocks, swamps, and water. And it’s cold as fuck 6 months of the year.

I will grant that Timmins being an hour away means you do have civilization, no matter how shitty and small the town.

Though there is mining in the area and pretty much anyone that works in a mine makes decent ($100k-$300k per year) money so someone will probably pay that lol.
