When my sister was in University she was in student goverment, and one of the other members tried to get all non-vegan foods removed from campus, and bringing them on campus. Obviously it failed, but not by much. The member that brought it claimed that it was defeated by the "Murder industry". And I loving hate hearing that story, not because of how stupid it is, but its just another stupid thing that the Anti-SJ crowd will use to go "see, SJW are ruining everything! They take away yoga next they'll take away UFC and video games!".

Baronjutter posted:Yeah I was reading some "AMA" style thing from a US drone operator. He was there to counter all the terrible propaganda and bad stats you get about drones. It's all lies from the red cross, drones kill almost no civilians ever. You see the red cross counts any drone strike where the victims were not armed or actively engaging in some sort of terrorist activity as "civilian", which is total bullshit. Just because a bunch of terrorists happen to be a big extended family and we hit them in their house doesn't mean they were civilians. Of course there were no weapons or bomb making supplies found after, they don't keep those things at home. We bomb terrorists where ever they are, the red cross and other international organizations have no loving clue who is or isn't a terrorist and it's extremely dangerous for them to make these sweeping judgements of everyone's innocence. Terrorists are really good at pretending to be innocent civilians, they do it on purpose so when they get bombed it makes the US look bad.  Holy poo poo, that's disturbing. Until drones are fitted with sniper rifles and 100% accurate targeting systems, end it now.Baronjutter posted:I don't know, single adult men probably have something wrong with them.

I went back to the Friday posts and saw if there had been anything really said about the Conservative leadership convention colliding with Anime North, and not as much. I was there, getting my Weeb on and while I didn't see anything, i sure as hell heard stuff. McLeans has a pretty good article about the whole thing http://www.macleans.ca/politics/anime-and-conservative-worlds-collide-just-slightly/ Though I heard some Conservative delegates were complaining that due to the crowds they missed the vote, so if true, that means we have have effected the vote as Scheer won by such a small number. And wow, as someone who will benefit from the Minimum Wage increase in Ontario, I just feel poo poo upon by all the people claiming doom and gloom for the province because of it. Oh no, we can't pay people more, small business! People saying they're going to have to lay off their staff because they cannot afford to pay them, and then when told that maybe they should run their buisness better, claim that they pay them what the market will bare and don't want to be told how much to pay people. Ugh. I looked around about what happened with Seattle when they increased but all I could find was conservative sources claiming it destroyed the city and blah blah blah blah.

The only place i've used them is the new Canadian Tie that's just a streetcar ride west from me. As I've work on tills for years, I am pretty comfortable using them, but I see people who aren't having a lot of trouble, and there's always someone there to help them. So they're not really decreasing labour. Not to mention you still need to have staff to stock shelves, help people find things, handle customer service issues and so on. That Imgur guy is clearly an rear end in a top hat, yes fire a pregnant woman as soon as she gets back from mat leave, yes that is what a good employer would do. I've seen a bunch of people go "oh i run my business really well, and my staff loves working for me, but I can't have the government telling me that i have to pay them more! I cannot afford that!" I really doubt these people's employees really do love working for them. Does none of these people know that paying someone minimum wage is saying "if i could pay you less, i would". None of these people who are bitching about it realize that with more money in peoples pockets, they're going to spend it, and no just on basics, but on luxury goods. Mr Baker will have more customers because people will have more money. More money in the economy is always good. These greedy tools that can't see past the pile of money they're getting are completly blind to this. I've been yelled at multiple times by people who have way better jobs than me how this is going to ruin everything, and that if i want to get a better job, i should get one. Of course, because its super easy to find a high paying full time job when you've worked retail exclusively in the last 15 years and only have a BA in history. Yep, good advice techbro who got hired right out of school.

Guys on motorcycles seem to ignore speed limits around where I am. They also love to blare their loud rear end dickrockets at night or early in the morning. I'm certainly seeing poo poo like techbros saying "learn to code" or just general "gently caress you poor people" kind of comments. The only opinion I saw that I do agree is getting rid of tipping. It's used to cheat wait staff out of wages More than a few said "do what I did, move to Alberta" gently caress that poo poo. I don't want to move to some wannabe American province with tons of shitheads. Everyone I know who did go came back hating the whole experience or going full on racist. Seriously, one guy went to be a security guard in Fort Mac and came back and turned his Meme facebook group into "Muslims all deserve to die". Also, I really wish people would stop suggesting "go into the trades". Like not everyone is cut out for an office job, or retail, or food or whatever, not everyone is cut out for trades. I am way better at dealing with people than anything. So on a another topic, how much money is it going to cost to fix the Toronto islands and the Beaches? I live near Woodbine beach and its at least 80% underwater. While the weather has been poo poo lately, it won't stay that way, and a lot of people rely on summer crowds in both places for a lot of their yearly revenue (seriously, come to the beaches in winter and its a ghosttown). No ones going to either place if most of the location is unusable. Though I can just see the Sun now attacking it, becuase they hate everything. Except the Leafs.

This was a real shift. But white dudes who are pretty smart but don't do anything with their lives turning out angry is hardly a problem I can blame on Alberta. He worked security at one of the oil fields so he was probably around lovely wannabe SEALs or something. Friends who were up there told me that the security they had were almost always people who failed to either become real cops or join the army, or guys who really, really wanted to exert authority. A lot of people are trying to crunch numbers, but they're all dismissing the idea that spending will actually go up, because, I don't know, they think poors are going to put it all in a mattress? Also they're going "And the government will get more money in taxes!" Uh yea that's a good thing because then they have money to spent on things like infrastructure, healthcare, fire and police (always bring that up because these types are always pro police beating brown people) and education. I want to know what these people think the government does with its money, yes it does things like a big duck, but it also goes into services you use all the time. but then I realize they're thinking that poors who don't have jobs will be living high on the hog because of this new fund. twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Jun 1, 2017 |

I really don't understand why Scheer comes out "No more trans rights!" at the start. Who is he trying to appeal to? I really doubt that's something that most Canadians are worried about. Unless they're going to try some US style scare stories about perverts dressing up like women to record girls in bathrooms and claiming they're trans so they cannot be arrested.

There isn't that much of a difference economically, but socially they're way off (i'm including poo poo that makes it affordable to live and minimum wage increase as social). I'm finding people are all "yea gently caress Wynn, the Cons will come back and restart the housing market so my house will be worth 3 million and I won't have to pay the lazy Philippinos that work at my store a livable wage! no loving dyke is gonna tell me I have to pay these people 1$15 an hour.

Raccoons and Trudeau are both cute from a distance, but you don't want to get to close to either. One of the major objections to increasing MW outside of the SMALL BUISNESS tears, is a very libertarian "Some people have to be poor so the rest of us can be rich". Which I feel translates to "If you're poor, I'll get rich!" and nothing logical behind that.

Mandate all breaks and lunches are paid, so no more working 8.5 hours so you can get a break. Full time should also be reduced to 32 hours. These are the kinds of things that as someone who's pretty much just worked minimum wage retail jobs for the last 20 years that piss me off. I mean besides being stuck at minimum wage because "we can't afford raises right now". This is also why I find it impossible to feel bad for anyone making more than 60k a year.
