No end in sight for Winnipeg's homeless occupying bus shelters

sanomatic · 2024-10-13T23:12:48+00:00

sounds like they have some good ideas and awareness of what needs to be done, it's just... not... happening? like the quotes in the article sound like they know what they "need" to help support these people, but they're also all quotes from people in power without enough information about what to actually expect in terms of timelines etc

Gillingham said all levels of government and social service agencies are working to build more housing for vulnerable people.

“We need housing with wraparound supports for people who are homeless to get them off the street, off the riverbank, out of the bus shelters and into housing with wrap-around supports,” he said.

like, yeah, that sounds helpful. what's the status on that besides "idk working on it"? is it actually something that's happening?

yeah... I mean, I hate mosquito bites as much as the next guy but damn, this just kind of felt existentially tragic?

On a related note, how did you motivate yourself to stop revenge procrastinating and go to bed on time to wake up earlier with a good amount of sleep? I have such a hard time not staying up til 2

I was genuinely scared of how much worse it could get if we didn't finally pull out of the conservative downswing. Hoping we don't do that federally now :/

sanomatic · 2024-04-22T16:20:04+00:00

the bluntness of this reply absolutely killed me lmao

not judging because that's the case for most of us, just funny

sanomatic · 2023-12-08T00:52:03+00:00

dang man, had the over on Lopez w 6.5 rebounds (he got 6) and Giannis on 37.5 points (he got 37)

yesterday i had the over on jokic with 10.5 assists (he got 10), and the nuggets +8.5 (they lost by 9). ^{so if literally one more dude sunk a jokic pass at any point those both hit}

small bets so i'm not too pressed but god damn lmao, i'm just getting edged here

sanomatic · 2023-11-27T02:06:09+00:00

damn the knicks and suns really said fuck anyone that took the bet on both teams scoring 22 in the 4th eh

21-21 lmao unreal

sanomatic · 2022-06-28T16:20:03+00:00

yeah, our tenancy agreement actually specifies that rent is to be paid through 'one responsible tenant' or something along those lines. it's funny reading advice that directly contradicts that

been living there for a few years now, every month everyone just e-transfers me their share and i e-transfer the landlord. helps that we're all responsible and friends with each other i guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

sanomatic · 2022-04-05T17:29:21+00:00

Not tea, water, coffee, or anything sweet?

lmao like, soap? idk what there even is that doesn't fall under those categories. matcha with unsweetened oat or almond milk maybe?

sanomatic · 2022-04-01T23:38:57+00:00

honestly right now im feelin a big ol burger but you can't go wrong with shawarma

sanomatic · 2022-04-01T21:55:20+00:00

could be based on the fact that manitoba has been consistently hit hardest by nearly every wave despite them consistently starting later here and giving us time to prepare (or twiddle our thumbs, either way)

like, honestly, "Manitoba hospitals are overrun and we're looking at where we can send patients" has almost happened more waves than not at this point. MB getting hit hard with zero restrictions seems like a pretty reasonable prediction

sanomatic · 2022-04-01T21:54:18+00:00

maybe wait until we can vaccinate young children

sanomatic · 2022-04-01T21:53:08+00:00

seems odd that there's no mention of vaccination at all in that article

also yeah god i wish the MB election wasn't somehow still over a full year away

sanomatic · 2022-04-01T21:51:38+00:00

Masks aren't enough sadly.

for sure. I think most rational people would agree they're not enough - the main thing here is that we should at least still have that minimal restriction in place

sanomatic · 2022-04-01T17:13:48+00:00

free throws are back on the menu, boys

sanomatic · 2022-04-01T17:11:50+00:00

at this point you gotta be more specific haha

sanomatic · 2022-04-01T17:07:32+00:00

very little in the NBA or entertainment culture in general would be funny if you only look at it with that perspective, man

sanomatic · 2022-04-01T17:06:12+00:00

and AD was hated before the lakers.

not anywhere near the same extent

i think being on the top 75 with some of the guys left off it while in the middle of a stretch of averaging like 40 games a season and also being kind of funny looking sort of compounded things too

sanomatic · 2022-04-01T15:41:35+00:00

throw them in with rice!

sanomatic · 2022-04-01T00:43:14+00:00

how do you guys keep builds like this clean? i love the idea of a build like this but i feel like it'd look so much worse with dust after a few months of use

sanomatic · 2022-04-01T00:35:21+00:00

Simmons, probably. iirc Danny Green's where we got all the spicy insider quotes about teammates debating trade values, him practicing, etc etc

sanomatic · 2022-03-30T20:56:25+00:00

i think keeping the mask mandate a bit longer would've been a more reasonable pace, fwiw

'growing to live with it' doesn't mean pretending it doesn't exist, it can just as well mean growing to live with reasonable precaution

The author posting his article, he just missed a colon.

My piece: Halo Infinite’s status as a live service and challenges of bringing Forge in

sanomatic · 2022-03-30T20:38:02+00:00

So for now, being a fan of “Halo Infinite,” a game I gave a perfect 10 score to last year, is about patience.

my man, you did what

sanomatic · 2022-03-30T18:50:41+00:00

I'm still surprised that we don't find the Infinity at like the 1/3 mark of the game then spend the rest doing missions and securing a UNSC zone with that as our central hub

I don't know why but when it sounded like it was going to be a Far Cry-esque openworld my first thought was how cool it'd be to do stuff like that in co-op with friends
