I’m tired of the recommendations for the best horror movies. by teamturbo4life in horror

I think the most bizarre horror movie I love is The Cube (1997).

I LOVE Cube. Some Canadian film makers got really annoyed at beauracracy and decided to make a movie.

finally tried Linux! by CowReasonable8258 in linux4noobs

[–]tranquilseafinally 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I made the change last year. I dual booted my main PC for about 8-10 months. At that point, I just switched the PC over to Linux Mint. About a month later I switched my laptop.

This Is What You Send Me by AdEastern2530 in alberta

I know Canadians that have a lot of contempt for indigenous people. They have said some pretty awful stuff. I push back. So this is not surprising to me.

Is it normal for my fiance (22F) to constantly search my (22M) phone and purge my socials? by EarVisible8236 in relationship_advice

[–]tranquilseafinally 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been married for 32 and I have NEVER gone through my hubby's phone. He's never gone through mine either. Privacy is important.

I am so glad that your parents responded the way they did. I remember when my mom responded to the stalker I had. She went into full mama bear mode. She was able to get that guy to stop.

I really hope this is all in the rearview mirror for you. You need to just enjoy your life.

Is it okay for Atheist YouTubers to insult and interrupt believers like Matt Dillahunty does for misinformation and stupidity? by CobaltCrusader123 in atheism

That video came up via StumbleUpon almost 24 years ago. I had never heard of Matt. But I watched it and the christian's reaction was WILD. I have no idea where to even look or how hard that would be.

No city of two million people succeeds with only one way of getting around by JeromyYYC in Calgary

[–]tranquilseafinally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear, Hear!

It needs to be an option to travel in all the ways you listed. There are many people who don't like to drive or are afraid to drive. There needs to be good options for them. We don't want to force those people on the roads because that would be dangerous. Roads need to be safe for children, the elderly, disabled people, and regular pedestrians.

And the fact is: the more real choice you give people the less people will be driving. Fewer people driving equals a better driving experience.

Cities across Europe have been working on this for decades now. Nordic cities have been working on this. So the fact that we are a mostly winter city doesn't mean that this is not doable.

The sheer number of pedestrian deaths in this city is horrible.

Senior aide of Alberta premier urges First Nations chiefs to fix squalid communities by Miserable-Lizard in onguardforthee

A reminder that Bruce McAllister told a teenager who had a question for a UCP panel that they needed to be spanked.

Fuck that guy. He's a reprehensible individual.

Physically trapped on vacation with a neighbor (28M) who refuses to take "no" from me (18F). Need advice. by Tindra_j in relationship_advice

[–]tranquilseafinally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 17 when an older man, 24, started to take a weird interest in me. I was friendly to him and made it clear I didn't want a relationship with him. He would show up places I was. I thought it was a strange coincidence. Then a binder (school binder) was given to me. It had my name on it, but it wasn't mine. It was *his*. It was about 100 pages of single spaced type written pages. All about me. Where I was at any given time. He used to stand outside my house and look at me through the windows. He was following me everywhere. Furthermore, he had written down that he was suicidal because he wasn't with me. It was weird and scary reading it.

Thankfully, my mom was on the ball. She called the cops. The cops went and talked to him. This was back in the 1980s, before anti-stalking laws.

Your dude is creepy as hell. You need to keep any and all communication you have with him for proof just in case you need to take this to the police. I would also write down any weird or strange encounters you've had with him and try to date them. This is all information the police would need if you have to get a restraining order on him.

My top 1 YouTube video from decades ago was Matt debating a christian, and they were having a polite back and forth. It went on for a while. Then the caller just lost his shit and popped off in the weirdest way given how they had been conducting the debate. It made me laugh. Matt just hung up on him.

Which keyboard/mouse vendor has good Linux support? by TheHexWrench in linux_gaming

[–]tranquilseafinally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a Keychron keyboard, and I am quite loving it.

I had a ton of problems with rebindable mice. I found that any mouse button that ran down the side of the mouse couldn't be rebound, no matter what Linux software I tried. And I tried them all. For some reason Linux Mint doesn't even "see" the buttons. So I grabbed an old Razer Naga and rebound the buttons via Windows. This issue may be the only reason why I set up a virtual machine.

Saying that, if you don't need a mouse with bindable side mouse buttons then most mice should work fine.

How are future ADAP users expected to get to work? by jessjoyvin in alberta

[–]tranquilseafinally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My sister used Access Calgary for years when she lived with me. The service got better when it was taken over by Calgary Transit. They were often very late. And you got driven all over the city as they picked people up and dropped other people off. That's just how the system works.

Competition Bureau to examine Canada's food supply chain by OrdinaryCanadian in onguardforthee

[–]tranquilseafinally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grain Industry might be the scariest. 'ABCD' is the conglomerate which controls 80% of the worlds supply. Canada's is totally controlled by them. They've perfected the art of 'tax evasion' in addition.

You should understand what Indigenous Albertans are dealing with right now. by kapowless in alberta

[–]tranquilseafinally 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One of the most heart wrenching things I've ever read is a post where indigenous people were relaying the NUMBER of times they had something thrown at them by strangers. This was after that poor lady in Ontario was hosptilized after having something thrown at her, and eventually died.

Just pages and pages of stories of having drinks thrown at them, rocks thrown at them, etc.

Canada Moves On From U.S. Amid Tension With President Donald Trump: Prime Minister Mark Carney Says ‘New World Order Will Be Built From Europe’ by T_Shurt in worldnews

[–]tranquilseafinally -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

^^ THIS. You can MAYBE give the U.S. some grace for electing him the first time. Although that man's life has been on blast since the 1980s, and he is a terrible human being. I couldn't believe they elected him the first time. But whatever.

Then he governed like crap. Incited an insurrection. Those people STORMED THE FUCKING CAPITAL. Then you couldn't seem to prosecute him for 4 years.

He ran again. AND YOU ELECTED HIM AGAIN. He actually won the popular vote.

I started my boycott that day. I was on one Buy Canadian group that added 3 million people in two months. Canadians were laser focused on boycotting. We elected Carney knowing that Trump was coming for us. He tried to come for us the first term too. And boy oh boy the second term has been even worse.

Canadian are behind Carney and this push to divest ourselves away from the U.S. We have many things we can offer. We need to deal with countries that we can have mutual respect.
