We should have our wealthy play hungry hungry hippos. As in we toss them into a marsh with 4 hungry hippos.

It’s a game of monopoly and we’re all losing.

Is this that “big man” trick where the RCMP spends millions so they can role play “bad guys” and create entirely usless evidence?

If you listen to the CBC Uncover podcast they have an episode titled Pressure Cooker about how the RCMP payed a couple of drug addics to build bombs then claimed they prevented a terrorist plot that they themselves had invented. After the media frenzy the “terrorist” was realsed from prison. The interviews with him are wild, the guy had no idea what was happening, and was too high to really be threat to anyone but himself.

I will never let Doug have “Folks” he can never take it from us we cannot let that happen.

So you want to see the manager?

The Ezra street parties that cost the city thousands are totally fine. but they freak out over a few tents. The only reason this school is around is that it’s a feeder school to a lot of local tech companies that want fresh meat to grind.

So pretty much all of them. I’d assume most of those who are not landlords intend to become landlords and will vote pro landlord policies in anyway.

It’s on young and Dundas, window wraps are up already. You can get a shake while being told, over a megaphone, about how your going to rot in hell or some other religious nonsense.

These just seem like more expensive bins to be destroyed by trash raiders (including racoons) and engarged alcoholics. I agree we need to replace the current one with a stonger model, but these don’t look tough enough.

Also just being realistic those parachute are probably just going to be questionable bargin bulk buys. They’d be designed to be as cheap as possible while just barely passing legal standards. They never be maintained or inspected. And there’s no way they support my 6’5" 300lbs ass as my frozen corps plummets to the earth below.

Half as interesting just did a video on this

Agreed. I suspect we are nearly there.

Depends on the country for much of this I’d imagine. If your dependent on imports of common needs then you’d be creating a need for a massive transit network to supply it.

Though the study should focus on the number and not how people use it. I could speculate that if all your neighbours have the same number as you you’d be tolerant of that.

Yhea thatd probably increase the score a bit. I whouldnt consider any kind if offsetting either. Even if your taxes go to Healthcare and support systems it doesn’t subtract from the amount going to military spending, wars, weapons, ect. Even smaller things like road expansions, and law enforcement count. Depending on the area these can cause more death.

I dont think this is enforceable under the current rules.

My landlord is an anonymous person living in China. For all I know they could be some large corporation. I only have a point of contact as a local Chinese owned real-estate company. They gave me the contact info to somone out in BC who they said was the owner.

I had to call with the person in BC when i moved in. that person who is on the lease as the owner, mentioned they where not the owner but the daughter of somone living in China who was the actual owner.

After a Google search they person I had spoken with turns out to be a “wealth and property manager” who apprently handles properties for investors. I suspect they are “the daughter” of a lot of clients looking to own property here.

So with foreign investors owning land via proxies who are themselves working through proxies. How do we even know who owns what anymore?

We need the standard leases to be mandatory and somthing that cannot be modified without exemption provided by a stronger landlord Tennant board.

I wonder if we could then make it so all leases needed to be registered with the board. Eatch requiring a lease recording fee wich could be used to fund the LTB. This whould also give them some power. If a landlord has a bad history, or is not providing proof of ownership they could just deny leasing agreements making landlords unable to rent out properties.

Odd to see it that empty while the sun is up.

I get scam messages and calls regularly. Of these I’ve only gotten the hst return scam.

Most common I get

• the duck cleaning guys. Not sure why the want to clean ducks so badly but I don’t own any.
• Bank has blocked your account…
• customs fee scam
• lady speaking mandarin while music plays.
• also a lot of the ones where it’s just silence. I suspect these are attempting to build a voice profile for 11labs or somthing. I never answer unless spoken to first by a real human. Also got my parents trained on that scam.

I can smell this image and it isn’t plesent.

That may actually be a life saver. With how complicated moving is getting. If you’ve moved around high rises a few times you know you could end up temporary homeless just because somthing failed.

You need to provide 2 month notice when moving out of most places. Yet to move in they often want you to sign a lease asap. So finding a place 2 months in advance is often impossible. You need to pay overlap rents in 2 places at once or take a huge risk of being homeless. If you don’t pay overlap and just hope a place is availble 2 months down the road you may be out of luck.

Having a place to stay for a month while you keep looking may be a good reason to avoid overlap and take the risk.

Mind you then you’d still need to move your stuff into storage. And then your paying the movers twice. So not the best option yet.

Agreed, I’m new too the community but I am sure if OP asked this in autism@lemmy.world it would be just fine. Folks there are very kind.

In my family we’d joke Star Trek was closer to our religion then any other nonsense. We’d at least have a ritual around gathering as a family to watch it. I’m the only diagnosed one but I assume my family is thick with Nerodivergency. Also I’m not even that into trek.

When I was about 6 my older brother told me Santa didn’t exist and I was like “yhea that makes sense”. He also mentioned God didn’t exist and again and I reponded “well of course not”. At some point in my life the existence of Santa was more believable then the idea of God.

Growing up I was exposed to so many differnt cultures, differnt Gods. I think they are all valid, it is important to be secular within reason. Honestly, I’ve been a part of enough nerdy Fandoms over the years to see the parallels. I’d no more insult the Christian God then I whould Picard.

More to the question though it may have to donwith the whole sense of community and belonging thing.

From my understanding churches are a pretty vulnerable experience, there’s signing (potentally loud singinging), confessing of sins, forced friendliness, and positive expressions, and higtened emotions. It seems incredibly socially draining. If I had to do that unto school I’d have had a considerably more breakdowns as a kid.
