I use one of those online only grocery places. The produce lasts a lot longer. Tiny bit more expensive and I can't go there for garbage bags and the like but suits my needs fine. Presumably the whole operation should have little to no food waste. apatheticman fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Jan 17, 2024 |

Costco is the way to go for most things. Sales prices at Zehirs were better than Costco, and the 50% meats were always a winner, but if those aren't there I don't think Joe Fresh black hoodies are enough to keep me coming back.

Once you get used to Costco prices it's almost physically painful if you're forced to buy cheese at a different store. That and Kirkland allergy meds easily cover the membership cost alone.

We used to have a Costco rep come to my work once a year with a trunk full snacks and they’d just hang around all day in the lunchroom trying to get people to sign up for memberships. They haven’t come back since Covid though. Always tempted, but never bought a membership because I live in a small apartment, don’t even know where I’d put a chest freezer.

My only problem with Costco is I can’t get variety of things I need. Like the lower fat Oikos, or things that are sugar-free or salt reduced. It’s great if you don’t have to modify your diet but if you do it loving sucks. I usually just get meat and cheese and the odd thing once in a while. Being able to buy meat and bread and such in bulk and freeze it is so handy it’s worth it.

bunnyofdoom posted:I will say, I haven't willingly shopped at a Weston store in a long time. That is because I have a car, and in Ottawa at least, there are two smaller independent grocery stores I go to frequently to get my stuff that are wildly cheap (Produce Depot and Greenfresh for those wanting to know). Ah, I am very close to Green Fresh. Weren't they the ones selling illegally imported prescription antibiotics off the shelf? Given that and a few other incidents of stocking expired goods and such I don't really trust them at all. We get our 'specialty' asian imports from Win Tai.

Any time someone repeats it I just assume it's the same campaign team pushing the message.

Mr. Apollo posted:Almost all of the people I know who support PP are doing so, not because of the economy or housing prices, but because the country is "too woke". A lot of them are struggling financially but they blame their problems on cancel culture and "wokeness". When I ask them how that impacted their financial situation, they can never explain and they end up saying something like "getting rid of Trudeau and his woke brigade will bring things back to normal." Ontario Strong, Canada Proud, and other right-wing grassroots efforts have been UNBELIEVABLY successful in the last 6 years or whatever. Even Tiktok is getting overrun with racists now. Media literacy is at an all time low, and people are loving IDIOTS. Myself included.

When I ask them how that impacted their financial situation, they can never explain and they end up saying something like "getting rid of Trudeau and his woke brigade will bring things back to normal." This phenomenon is legitimate, and for my money its scarier when its going the other way, for things they don't like. Take hating Trudeau. While that's an eminently defensible position, oh goodness, they cannot defend it. Ask "why do you hate him," and out comes a stream of incoherent nonsense, utterly divorced from reality, if not directly contrary to reality. A few years back it was always pointing to Trudeau shutting down the oil fields and the Transmountain expansion. Amazing! I dislike Trudeau because he spent billions of dollars buying that failed project to try to keep it going. These days its about Trudeau is some totalitarian who brutalized the convoy goers. Meanwhile, as a resident of the capital, I got to watch him do nothing for a month and a half while fools with no understanding of how our society is organized shut down the city I live in, our federal capital, with the express purpose of overthrowing our (crummy) democratically elected federal government - because they were upset about [I seriously still can't believe this is true] provincial public health mandates. Or they just say Wokenss, but they can't describe what it is or why it's bad. Or because he has abandoned Israel. You know, despite his support for Israel remaining unwavering notwithstanding the ongoing catastrophe befalling Gazan residents. At best, they'll point to him tepidly endorsing the idea of a temporary pause in bombing. These exchanges cause me genuine despair. Canadians are very, very angry and upset about things that are imaginary. And pointing out what actually happened, with credible resources at hand, just makes them angrier and distrustful of reliable sources of actual information. And me, because I make them upset by not knowing whatever it is their church friends say when they make these non-reality based declarations.

I don't think it's fair to blame JT for the convoy occupation in Ottawa. Like the first month of that was waiting for the OPP/Ottawa police to get their own asses in gear and only then did it become a federal problem. It was only because so many other people shirked their own duties that it became something he had anything to do with (in terms of sorting it out).

Thatcher once said: "Standing in the middle of the road is very dangerous; you get knocked down by the traffic from both sides." and surely Justin Trudeau is the living, breathing proof of it. He seems so fake, most of all, because he's constantly trying to play both sides and satisfy everyone, while only making things worse, and now there's three people left in the country who actually like him on any level.

Got another sketchy YouTube promoted ad in the app today claiming to be from the CBC with the logo and everything. Clicking on the advertiser info though said "This Advertiser has not Verified their Identity" but based on the advertiser name and location I'm assuming the CBC isn't run by "Marsha Reeves" in India. Been seeing more and more fake CBC poo poo especially. Sometimes it's random weird poo poo like this but usually it's AI Generated Trudeau or Crypto/Elon.

Nobody gives a poo poo about content moderation or brand safety, so it's pretty much a free for all. You can report it and the individual account may get shut down, but odds are they have another 20 going concurrently because the cost is very close to nil.

Internet hygiene and pruning your social media feeds is going to be an essential skill we should be teaching people from primary school onwards. Clearly nobody is prepared for this crap. It breeds hatred and discontent, often targeting the wrong solutions and root causes to very serious societal problems.

Believe it or not it's not under the Prime Minister's immediate jurisdiction or responsibility to police a city. There's many fair criticisms of Trudeau but he only involved a federal response with the convoy after it was clear municipal and provincial authorities weren't doing poo poo about it, and like it or not that is the appropriate way to go about it. It's one of the big reasons his use of the Emergency Measures Act was found to be fair play.
