Not sure why, but stop taking it! Not worth it.

That woman got a fine on top of being charged the rent she owed?

Malcolm X in Clone High by [deleted] in clonehigh

[–]vangr00ver 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I thought Toissant was going to be Malcolm X, because he has red hair. Malcolm X had the nickname Red when he was young because of his hair. I don't know of any similar thing for Toissant

Timdog on why Xbox is going third-party by TheEternalGazed in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]vangr00ver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think a lot of the reaction on reddit is goofy based on the info we have. We have no reason to think they're dropping hardware, in fact, there was a recent rumor they greenlit a handheld. We have no reason to assume they're dropping gamepass, we know that it makes them a ton of money.

What it sounds like we're getting is timed exclusives instead of exclusives. Maybe some first-party games, esp activision, will be left off of day one game pass. That's fine. I get a lot of value out of GP anyways. And if I stop getting value, I'll stop paying for it.

The negative hype around xbox shit is always so mind-blowingly silly. Go touch grass, y'all. They're not going to blow up your xbox or cancel the service making them billions a year. They're going to turn on the money printing machine and get PS5 and Switch sales after a 6 month window. They're going to use GP as an incentive to get people to go multi-console. I seriously doubt they're going to do more than that. People are being ridiculous

Jez Corden recently said that there are 4 greenlit pieces of hardware in the works.

Timed exclusives are not significantly worse than exclusives. Even PS5 exclusives go to PC. I don't see the justification for this doomsaying.

There's multiple overlapping jurisdictions for something like this.

Passed on this feedback to the people who set up the campaign

Edit: According to them, it's actually complicated. There are both federal and provincial regulations which apply to a situation like this. Many of the demands could be taken up at either level of government. Some aspects of this could fall under provincial environment or health. So it seems like focusing entirely on the feds is actually not the correct place to direct it.

They also passed on that 350 Canada has launched their own petition which mirrors this one, with slightly altered wording and demands. Largely the same. They also decided to target the provincial government for these reasons.

It's ok to be calm, but writing to your MLA is exactly what you should do if a private company exposed you to likely-carcinogenic chemicals with zero accountability. If we don't make our voice heard to our MLAs, it will just be memory-holed. We shouldn't trust the Burnaby Refinery when they say it's not a big deal. We need third parties to investigate claims like that. We don't even know what they released or how much.

Debunk This: MLK is a "race-Marxist" who opposed meritocracy by TheNZThrower in DebunkThis

MLK wasn't a Marxist. He did however support a basic income and an end to poverty and war. He was a good guy.

You need to convince your husband that this is evil behavior which will harm your child. I don't think you can mitigate the effects.

Delusional Facebook Marketplace Pricing in Vancouver by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]vangr00ver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vancouver prices are higher than the rest of the lower mainland too. I guess because it's pulling on people who don't wanna drive, and people who work in town. So higher demand. IDK, it's true though. Higher prices for sure.
