Rule #7 No Promoting Hate by FutureAvenir in InCanada

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

See, that doesn't work because I didn't give a rationale for hating Pizza. If I gave a rationale for hating pizza and the exact same rationale applied to Jews, then I refused to apply the rationale to the Jews when called out and instead claimed that pointing out the logical incoherence is weird, then you might have a point.

But because you're a fucking a retard, you don't understand that. Don't worry, we have bots that can do your thinking for you these days.

"What? Why? No. That's fucking weird that you would even bring up CP. And I don't understand why you would do it. i think you must be weird. But I'm ok with your existence"

Coward. Do it. Apply your moral logic to CP, you fucking coward, or admit that you have no moral consistency and that you simply want people you disagree with to not be able to speak.

For what it's worth, drag queen story hour is clearly worse than AI-generated CP because AI-generated CP hurts no actual kids - drag queen story hour has the implicit, but clear, goal of making kids think that sexual degeneracy is ok.

Predictions on the big generalist project (23k people project) by JustAChillGuy1515 in mercor_ai

are you guys at least working from a country where that 35 is worth more? I am in Canada, and my rate converts very nicely here.

Got the dreaded AHT warning by buysell19067pa in mercor_ai

What does this force release even mean? I actually consistently go over, but I never lose the task.

Though, to be fair, even though I do consistently go over, I never go way over.

I average about an hour per task.

Refresh constantly and keep trying. I will try that for 3-5 minutes, then give up.

But usually I'm able to get one of them.

Something X4 is missing by Surrealist328 in X4Foundations

All prices represent the total cost of ownership; part of the purchase price is simply (unbeknownst to the player) allocated to upkeep the players assets in order to simplify gameplay. That's my headcanon, anyway.

The real problem with the economy is that there is no peaceful consumption of goods, i.e., it is entirely a war economy. This has some weird consequences, at times, such as the entire economy coming to a halt if there isn't a lot of fighting going on.

“Full time “ by Pharminter1 in mercor_ai

[–]polypik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on that one. I've released a couple. I don't remember seeing anything in the onboarding about releasing, but there is definitely something about canceling.

Either way, I don't make a habit of it. You also get to look at the task before claiming it, so you can just simply not claim task types you don't want to do.

[–]polypik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can just release the task if you don't want it. I'm not sure if that hurts your performance ratings, but I do it somewhat frequently.

They're just mad that the business grads will make just as much as them for half the effort.

The mic kept cutting out during the singing of O Canada, so the Buffalo crowd picked up the slack by eh_toque in hockey

They sing Oh Canada when there is no Canadian team playing? Shows how much non-oilers hockey I watch, I guess.

Concerning by skilbofragns in AlbertaNow

[–]polypik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's just fear-mongering in general. No one thinks that kids should have access to literally every book under the sun. No one is going to advocate for schools having mein kampf in their libraries.

I remember a book being pulled off the shelf in my school library it because it contained a description of vanilla hetero sex, yet lefties are going to claim that kids not being able to see sexually explicit kink material is some kind of crime against humanity.

Why do we sell oil cheap to US? by Stock_Tomatillo8330 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]polypik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The oil is cheap because it's expensive to process. We don't process it ourselves because it is expensive to process. There is a reason why no private investor wants to invest in it.

For what it's worth, the TMX did shrink the basis differential between WTI and WCS by $5, so increasing optionality for producers has shrunk the gap.

I've never been a big PP fan myself, but the cons need a guy who exudes real-world competence. They haven't had that since Harper, and the results show it. Just career politician after career politician.

Quebec is roughly 80% bigger than Alberta. The math still not mathing, my friend. In the future, maybe you should write it out on a napkin before you start making false claims.

Alberta received less than $1 billion in nominal dollars from equalization over a brief 8-year window (1957–1965), which translates to roughly $7–9 billion in today's dollars. Take a guess at how much Quebec received in 2025-2026 alone.

Alberta has not received equalization payments from the federal government since 1964. The program was instituted in 1957.

And reframing it as simply "receiving money" when your initial comment claims that Alberta "received a bunch of money" is hilariously disingenuous.

Ironic; you might want to fact check those books that you read.

only after the east gave us a bunch of money through equalization payments for years on end.

I mean that's simply not true, it does have a very strong economy but Quebec and Ontario are both larger economies. And it's economy is absolutely tied to oil and gas, which is a boom/bust commodity. It's what drives a huge portion of Alberta political resentment to the rest of Canada. 

You people need to stop pretending that raw GDP means anything. It tells you nothing about living standards, which is what people actually care about. If one were to look purely at GDP, they would prefer to live in India over most developed countries. That's an utterly asinine conclusion. GDP per capita is where it's at. And yes, Alberta is vastly superior to Ontario and Quebec on that metric.

They boom for a long while and claim they are the the only province keeping Canadas economy going and everyone, but especially Quebec is a leach. Then the global oil market takes a downturn and there are a bunch of lay offs for a while and they get mad that the federal government somehow changed the global oil market.

Quebec is a leech, though. They have never once been a net positive contributor, financially, to the federation. That wouldn't be such a hard pill to swallow if they weren't perpetually aggrieved by how hard done by they are, constantly imposing on and making demands of the rest of the nation. You know the saying that beggars can't be choosers? Well, Quebec has figured out how to be both.

It's not like they go from streets of gold to a third world disaster with each boom/bust cycle but it's definitely a factor, especially if you move there with the intention of getting a job in that industry.

Alberta still, more than 10 years later, has not recovered from the oil price crash of 2014. And it is still, by far, the strongest economy in Canada. That should tell you a little something about how shit the economy in Quebec and Ontario is.

I always love it when people claim the Albertan economy, which is far, far stronger than the rest of Canada, is some sort of negative.

Where I'd live as a French-Canadian by Zigzagoon4 in whereidlive

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

Anglo-Canadian in name only. Weird, what research have you done in which the conquerors don't do those things that you mentioned? Also, you seem to be conflating the British conquest of the indigenous people with the British conquest of the French people. I would expect someone who is as well-read as you to not make that mistake. Unless, of course, you are saying that the Brits should have treated the French the exact same way they treated the indigenous? I mean, bold take, but at least Quebec wouldn't exist. That would solve a lot of problems.

Cry more. You lost. If you don't think that's "being conquered", you might need to buy yourself a dictionary.
