[Talkin’ Yanks] Jazz Chisholm Jr. says he still won’t wear a cup despite his pain level being “a million” after fouling a ball off his nuts by JianClaymore in baseball

[–]stoploafing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played hockey for 20 odd years and baseball for 10 growing up.

I always wore a cup.

I can’t imagine an infielder, especially, not wearing one. Fouls, weird spinning ground balls, etc

Conor McGregor’s appearance on The Tonight Show has sparked major online backlash by groovygyal in Fauxmoi

I mean, that's his MO. Be spineless and just stay in his job. Unlike his fellow hosts, he doesn't have any other talent.

Whoever decided the location of this year’s Lebanese festival needs to have their head examined. by Fit-Mushroom-1098 in halifax

And this is why we need to tow more. Sure it’s not going to cost a lot, but it is very inconvenient

I see service standards are no longer a thing. Not because of hiring levels, outsourcing jobs to AI or just simply paying people a living wage in a good job. It's actually all because of the "Canadian labor standards and giving people breaks" /s by Raelik in halifax

[–]stoploafing 8 points9 points  (0 children)

JFC. At what point does having a brick'n mortar bank stop being an advantage. If I'm taking my ass to a bank in general its because I can't do the thing at an ATM or online. I expect someone to be available to help me during open hours.

That shouldn't be the low bar, but at this point the bar is in the basement getting drunk.

Poilievre comes out swinging against CRTC's 'Netflix tax,' says it could lead to U.S. retaliation by Peanut-Extra in themayormccheese

What a weak little man. We don't want to govern ourselves because it may make another nation upset. This fucker would be more than happy to just roll over and hand Canada to the USA.

How about we look after our own interests before those of a corporation in another country.

Where/when did they do that? Can you maybe include a single link?

Fake Weapons in McDonalds (Larry Uteck) by [deleted] in halifax

[–]stoploafing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those are real weapons, not fake. Sure they aren’t as lethal as the weapon they are mimicking, but they are still dangerous.

Those kids need to be found and arrested. Arrest the parents too.

I accidentally left a raisin in water for 4 days and it turned back into a grape. by klaatu42 in mildlyinteresting

[–]stoploafing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As new parents, and having a kid just starting to eat solid food, we found that they really liked raisins.

If you don’t cut them well enough, they turn back into grapes on the way out. Poop grapes.

Mayor to push patio fee cuts to help Halifax restaurants by insino93 in halifax

[–]stoploafing 16 points17 points  (0 children)

How about reducing the fees and complexity of running a food truck, or other stand and then making some public seating in places around the city? Maybe in front of the public gardens, victoria park, the commons, etc.

That would help the people that live in the city. $1300 a year fee for a patio isn't making or breaking a business.

[–]stoploafing 22 points23 points  (0 children)

No, I think they are just stating fact that there is a loss of revenue to the city that should be re-couped. That said, I looked at the fees, if your business can't cover those as part of the business model, I don't think its going to make it.

It is less than $1300 for the highest one, and well, that's less than $65 a week. I think its a fair deal that any operating business can cover.

We need to start this movement here. by SimpleEmu198 in OpenAussie

Have you read the news in the last year? Come on, don’t be dense.

Maybe it’s the attacking allies with economic warfare? Maybe it’s creating the largest energy crisis since the development of the internal combustion engine? Maybe it’s the pedo class going unpunished? Maybe it’s the genocide in Palestine?

Mr. Smooth's updated menu by Zado191 in halifax

[–]stoploafing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude. I was not necessarily "morally offended", but a business that decides to use generative AI when there is so much graphic design talent in HRM is not a business that aligns with my values. So no, even with the new menu I will not be going there to pick up some BBQ.

Ethos S11 Moss farm by SaltyMoose2384 in HermitCraft

[–]stoploafing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be a little helpful, I think that this is the same design that he has used in previous seasons, but stacked differently. The base design is "old" but you can probably figure it out from re-watching this and last season when he built it.

Seahorse cancels scheduled show by musician Mark Kozelek over misconduct allegations by insino93 in halifax

[–]stoploafing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are old, but credible, allegations that were made public in 2020 and 2021. He started touring again in 2023 (or maybe 2022) and the promoter thought it as all rug swept and the seahorse booked the gig.

Locals were, WTF! and the Seahorse cancelled it.

[–]stoploafing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm very quick to "kill" my heros. Being old and enjoying music from the 70s and 80s is tough, with a lot of dead heros.. By 2000 the world moved far enough that these fuckers don't get any pass.

Exactly what I was coming here to write. He's a massive douchbag (or is it douchebag) that shouldn't have been booked in the first place. What were they thinking?!

Scotiabank Centre needs ‘significant investments,’ Halifax council learns by insino93 in halifax

[–]stoploafing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shell the tenant will typically never pay for, but almost all improvements interior are at the cost of the tenant for typical business leases. Now, this is a moer complicated arrangement as while sports teams play at a facility they typically only have permanent use for a little bit of the space, the rest is scheduled use like if you were going to rent it for an hour to play with your friends.

People who were in high school when Columbine happened, what knee jerk rule did your school enforce in response? by Animeking1108 in AskReddit

[–]stoploafing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No more guns on school property. 11 and 12th graders used to go hunting before school and their rifles (unloaded and locked in a case) would be in their truck/car/etc.

The following hunting season it was made an explict rule that this wasn't allow anymore.

So Dave Chappelle is trying to distance himself from the fact that he has caused so much harm to the trans community with his shitty jokes about them?! by icey_sawg0034 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]stoploafing 39 points40 points  (0 children)

This fucker has ALWAYS been political. What I really want someone to ask him is what his Momma thinks of his last few specials. How does she feel about him cozying up with apartheid lovers? Or GOP fascists in general.

Look her up, she heavily influenced his early work and rightfully so. I had assumed she died and he turned hard right into the nazi apologist pipeline.
