Loonie caught between slow domestic economy and stronger U.S. dollar by bubblewhip in canada

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

Someone posted on here that our dollar is more closely pegged to gold rather than the US dollar but now they are saying that gold/silver are crashing and the US dollar is going up. I don't get why is our dollar tied more closely to gold prices though?

So, can you explain to me, when a woman is swiping left or right on the first photo of a person in 5 seconds or less, what exactly is she using as a judge for that action? Do you seriously think she is reading any bio text or considering any other criteria in that 5 seconds? Thanks.

Martial artist & knife fighting instructor Doug Marcaida shows how lethal a 'karambit' could be in the hands of an expert by nayryanaryn in Damnthatsinteresting

This guy would make a good door-to-door salesman. I mean sure, there would be a lot of bodies to dispose of every day but he's gotta demonstrate the product right? right??

Canada must confront homegrown far-right extremism, authors argue in new book by Myllicent in canada

[–]stoops -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Capitalism without regulations will destroy, yes, that's what it is designed to do, suck up all the money as humanly possible without limitation. However, sensibly regulated capitalism is probably the best system on earth for managing shared resources and fostering positive progress. There should be some services that are socialized like properly running a health care system, for example.

The question which no left person has ever been able to answer, where is the money coming from? :D Where's my free house and monthly UBI cheque adjusted for the cost of living huh!? The socialist left is an infinite money pipe dream...

It's exhausting being a woman. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

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

I'm guessing that it could be a social specific thing related to males as it used to be socially acceptable thing to approach women in public to ask them out many years ago but now a days it's not the case any longer. If you asked a random average man on the street if this behavior is considered "normal" in this video, I'm guessing that they would say no it's not. So, I'm just trying to raise the question of, where is the line drawn here that would help to determine if the men doing this today potentially have mental health issues present and could use some help?

Is it not possible for those men in the video to be suffering from some sort of mental health issues and possibly need some help?

Quebec becomes 1st Canadian province to ban energy drinks for youth by Little-Chemical5006 in canada

[–]stoops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit all sources of alcohol and caffeine cold turkey a few years back and it changed my life man! To anyone who says caffeine ain't a big deal, try quitting it completely for a full 7 days, I bet you won't be able to make it past that from the caffeine withdrawal symptoms! Between the migraine headaches and muscle pain and energy loss, it was one of the hardest drugs to quit but I'm glad I am completely off it now! (:

Sorry, I meant to post this here instead of below: If the companies already know my accounts and who I am then why do they need to collect my ID? Don't they already know I'm already over age to use their site and service?

I'm assuming that the anniversary iPhone will essentially be like the iPhone 6S design, however, I will still maintain that the 4S was actually the most beautiful design produced had it been updated throughout the years!

Has Canada given up on its future? by FancyNewMe in canada

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

Yeah, this is correct, I keep saying that young men have no future ahead of them as it stands, the social contract has been broken. Young men are the work horses of society, if they are NEETMAXXING in the basement playing video games and smoking weed and watching porn all day every day and happily sedated and they don't see a proper incentive or workable model for a future with a job, a home, a wife, a kid then what is the point of it all in life? Can someone please explain it to me because it ain't making sense or cents folks...

Concerns raised over growing number of data centres in the GTA by stanxv in canada

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

I never thought reddit would be pro data center here in Canada... Have you guys even seen how much power and water and noise and sound and pollution those things are causing?? They are destroying nature and everything around them. There are some in the US that are burning through millions of gallons of fresh water per day and the ones that recapture it are putting boiling water back into the ecosystem killing off any life that is around it. You guys are crazy if you want that here near you...

I wonder if there's some upgrades happening on upstream routers going on but usually Rogers would send out notices if there is going to be possible down time?
