A Russian troll farm posted:Liberals frequently resort to ostracism because liberalism is at its core a moralist ideology. Liberalism rejects material bases for not only ideologies, but also opinions, and therefore if someone has a bad or incorrect opinion, it must therefore mean that they are at their core a bad person. This is wrong. Most people with incorrect ideas are the victims of ideological obfuscation, or a lack of ideological clarity, and can be gently but firmly corrected. Their incorrect views can be excised with the twin scalpels of Scientific Socialism and Leninist party discipline. If Rime made an ideologically incorrect post, he should have been made to write a self-criticism by a forum commissar.

HookShot posted:LOL my dude no one cares this much about you Am I insane for remembering Rime a few years back talking about how scared he was at the top of a Revy run that he had to skooch down it on his arse, and the next year he was planning on applying for ski patrol there? Because I recall that being a thing that happened not too long ago, when they had the red rose with thorns av just pre pandemic

vyelkin posted:Maybe we could all drop it. Offsite drama is a matter for offsites to deal with. Rime has posted bad things in the past but their current posting in this thread has been generally fine. That said, Rime it is annoying that you're ending many of your posts by insinuating that they're intended to anger nonspecific Liberals in this thread for some reason so maybe you could drop that too, especially if it is also linked to being angry about something that happened offsite. Thanks everyone. Whoops sorry boss man. World moves fast when you are

Syfe posted:Square slices is actually Detroit style (Buddy's Pizza), Chicago is a round deep dish (Lou Malnatti's). But I love both styles of pizza, sauce on top ftw. A quick Google of Chicago cut pizza shows a bunch of pictures of square cut pizzas so I guess maybe it’s both? not a fan of Chicago deep dish pizza though. that’s a casserole in disguise!

I'm sorry for being rude to some of you the other day. I was trying to make a point about not using your own misery as an excuse to hurt people who don't deserve it, but being an rear end in a top hat is a bad way of doing that. I know all about misery and hopelessness and should not be dismissive of other people's anguish and mental health. I hope that those of you who are feeling truly hopeless can find some light and peace. And I hope your mom finds a safe place to live, Rime. Also Feast is probably my favourite restaurant in Winnipeg these days. Braised bison dip on bannock bun. So good.

Teens have had it too good for too long. They should work miserable pointless jobs like I had to, so they can gain experience in important things like hotboxing the car wash back room at Shell.

50 years ago you could pay living expenses and maybe some of your tuition with money saved up from 4-5 months of full time work. Now you can't even come close to covering either. Why bother working 20+ hours a week in an awful retail job when you can borrow the money instead? The attitudes of most small business owners and retail middle managers is usually that fewer people should attend university and instead work retail jobs, while at the same time flatly refusing to offer more than 30 hours a week to any of their employees but still insisting that they be available/on call 24/7. It's not a nice situation having to work for people like that while doing a full university schedule.

Can you really start working at 14 now? Thats hosed up When I was 16 it was hosed up when grown rear end adults would yell at me and my colleagues and you are just expected to take it with a smile, can't imagine being younger and having that happen.

He doesn't need money from a part time job, but I'm still going to make him find a job when he's 16-17 so that he can learn some basic life skills and also maybe get fired when that poo poo doesn't matter. But 14? gently caress let the kids enjoy their lives a bit.

One year that resulted in a 15 year old getting in (we paid the same amount and needed to get permission from HQ for I guess insurance reasons). Fuuuuuck hiring 15 year olds, I regretted the hell out of that and never did that again.

What scam are they trying to run now? a man who knows nothing about the workings of government is trying to rile up his base by feeding their belief that BoC is somehow nefariously inflating the currency naturally, a central bank digital currency would use a public ledger, which anyone could audit, and so just like open source software it would be completely transparent and impervious to nefarious intent

I am not a cryptocurrency comprehender, but I think it's a combination of - there may be some benefits to "digital currency", though they probably require some degree of centralization, and oh hey we already have a central money authority - lmao if government is gonna willingly relinquish control of a meaningful money supply to not-government whether there's any benefits you couldn't replicate by making interac cheaper and faster is unclear to me (guessing there is no such benefit)

they don't really, they just provide a government regulated digital currency that people can use in place of the completely unregulated digital currencies, because people making them have completely failed to understand why people are using digital currencies

I love when cryptocurrency fans go on about all the benefits of evading regulation, as if those will stick around for five minutes after you can actually use cryptocurrency to buy something. if more than a couple pubs ever accepted canadian tire money back in the day, that poo poo would've been shut down so quick
