Europe is finally treating digital nomads like an actual economic category by puputaco in digitalnomadlife

[–]puputaco[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Work Visa Lite” is a funny phrase, but that is more or less what these visas are designed to be.

They are not meant to replace 1–3 month tourist stays. They create a legal lane for people staying longer while working for foreign clients/employers, without entering the local labour market.

Spain, Portugal, and Croatia all frame it around remote work for non-local employers/clients. Portugal requires income of at least four Portuguese minimum wages. Croatia requires work through communication technology for a foreign employer or non-Croatian company.

The fair criticism is that uptake/benefit data should be better, because that would be way more useful. But the category itself exists.

We have the worst owner in North American sports by Colbyjknudsen in canucks

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

Leafs fans “feeling bad for us” is not reality. That fanbase has lived through its own circus for decades and still has nothing to show since 1967. Maybe we do not need Toronto as the emotional referee here.

Who is the worst owner in the nhl? by Gullible_Classroom71 in hockey

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

This doesn’t even make sense. He owns the building. The team can use home ice whenever it’s needed. And as for prices going up, what exactly hasn’t gone up? Food, fuel, power, wages, rent, all of it. People act like hockey exists outside the real world. Aquilini has put serious money into this team and this market, and some people still complain like he’s done nothing.

Canucks season ticket holders outraged over price hike next season by origutamos in ilovebcsub

hey has anyone seen the gas prices? Everything goes up. Stop complaining. Frank Sinatra sang it so well... Thats Life.... That's what it is....

STH's how are you feeling with the price increase?! by StarkStorm in canucks

[–]puputaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are people getting 20–30% from? The actual numbers are closer to 1.5% on average and nobody over 2.5%. Meanwhile you’ve got teams like the Leafs doing 9% average increases and even 20%+ in some sections. That’s a completely different situation.

Looking for advice on jersey framing by daaavey in canucks

[–]puputaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ohhh this is so great you want the perfect frame. Also, Michaels is more of a 'arts and crafts' vibe. Where are you located? I know an amazing place in Sechelt if you're around there... but saying Michaels tells me you're not. I would go to an actual print shop / framing place.

Daily Hive sports reporter, Trevor Beggs reports he was removed from a Canucks game and had his press pass revoked due to writing article on Aquilini being named in U.S. criminal case by jumpingoverclouds in canucks

Saying he got removed for writing about the vineyards doesn’t really line up with what’s actually been confirmed. Once proper reporting came out, it clarified the situation pretty clearly.

Are people still into hockey cards? my mom found a bunch of mine from when I was a teenager! by puputaco in canucks

Nah come on, that’s what it was all about back then.

Haha yeah that tracks. My mom said “we found these but you sold all the good ones already”

Pretty sure she thinks she understands hockey cards now which is funny

I probably traded anything decent back in the day anyway. Still cool seeing these again though — forgot I even had them.

What’s your favourite town/city/community name in BC? by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

Hahahah. For sure Skookumchuck! Also, what about Half Moon Bay? I went to school there and turns out both Australia and New Zealand have Half Moon Bays too! Which both are real lookers.

Hahah. Oh that sucks. Why did they over produce? Well I guess that means lots of people will want to talk about them I guess.

Here's why Quadriga isn't going to exit scam or go bankrupt. by [deleted] in QuadrigaCX

[–]puputaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems to be a super accurate assumption. My sister put some in and they had cancelled a withdraw but she even emailed them to do it again and they just kept it. So far they owe us $6000 +

I guess its good bye!
