  1. Great win last night. Tons of milestones and they exacted revenge on the Lames.
  2. Now that you mention it... I was really averse to Crapple products before but since my shot on Thursday they're just gross! I guess I better steer clear of Bill and Melinda's divorce proceedings, eh?
  3. I can't wait for the next dose. This 2.5G is pretty slow and I'm not sure if Bill's tracking chip is working yet. I haven't had the urge to buy any MS products... yet.
  4. Yeah but as if those covidiot assclowns would take it.
  5. It's absolutely ****** that several Asian countries (Japan, South Korea) have had this mentality for years regarding masks. And here, we have covidiot ***** trying to equate mask-wearing with tyranny and oppression. It's just nauseating.
  6. https://www.cnet.com/health/mit-covid-study-shows-indoors-masks-may-be-more-important-than-social-distancing/ It seems like a multi-faceted approach is the best way, at least as far as indoor activities go.
  7. Seems like a combination of privilege, entitlement, and ignorance. A trifecta of disgusting qualities, to be sure.
  8. That's the same in any jurisdiction, though. A politician shitting on his constituents without taking any responsibility for his oversights or inaction is inexcusable.
  9. Fair. But after getting embarrassed on Saturday, I expected a bit more from the home team tonight. Nice goal by Connor on a beauty feed from Wheeler!
  10. They really seem to play flat on home ice. It's weird when they've been really good away from BellMTS Place.
  11. More projection. Why you keep bringing up FE really makes no sense. Here's some data on policing in Canada: https://angusreid.org/policing-perspectives-canada-rcmp/ Here's more: https://www.macdonaldlaurier.ca/systemic-racism-policing-canada/ And more: https://yellowheadinstitute.org/2020/07/15/police-brutality-in-canada-a-symptom-of-structural-racism-and-colonial-violence/ Three examples that took a few minutes to find. Again, this is not about comparing ourselves to other countries. Whataboutism serves no purpose here and undermines the discussion at hand. This is about law enforcement in Canada as it relates to marginalized communities, mistreatment or alienation of certain groups, and what systemic issues exist. By identifying them, we can ultimately address and solve them so that members of law enforcement can better serve our communities, be more accountable to the public, and be more trustworthy to those who struggle to trust LEOs based on those issues. Speaking of opinions in bad taste, you've presented absolutely no credible evidence for yours. That combined with the pointlessly snide commentary does nobody a disservice but you while demonstrating a clear inability to engage in respectful, worthwhile discourse with other members in this thread on a prominent topic in today's social climate. And FWIW, @Tracker clarified his comments for the sake of the discussion but it doesn't seem like you bothered to acknowledge them.
  12. This is all anecdotal. It is not objective evidence backed by empirical data in any way, shape, or form. And I wouldn't accuse others of being lazy for not doing research when all you've done is use your personal experience and supposed social relationships to back up your claims. That's not at all how critical thinking works. Furthermore, nobody has argued training for LEOs in Canada isn't by and large more superior than our neighbours down south. Training for police and other law enforcement agencies up here is very stringent for the most part and nobody is just given a gun, a badge, and a pair of handcuffs without rigorous checks and training. However, that doesn't mean law enforcement culture in Canada doesn't have its own set of issues or that shortcomings don't exist which allow for bigotry, misogyny, etc. to affect that culture or its image negatively. There are always improvements to be made so that LEOs can better serve the communities in which they work while being more mindful, considerate, and understanding of social and culture differences between populations across this country vis a vis the laws they're asked to enforce and the people they're responsible to serve and protect. Changes to the system can also be made to weed out the bad candidates and cultivate a more open and accountable culture with all Canadians. It also shouldn't be about comparing ourselves to the US; that's a very low bar, anyway.
  13. https://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/mars-oxygen-1.5997547 This is an astounding achievement.
  14. What a ridiculous retort. The projection and delusion here are troubling to say the least. Telling strangers on forum to seek help because you either can't or won't expand on your opinions is pretty messed up. That's the definition of gaslighting and it's bordering on sociopathic. Also, you refuted another person's claim and it's your responsibility as a willing participant in a productive discussion to substantiate your claims. That's not an unreasonable request - at all. If you don't want to do that and instead choose to attack others petulantly, you should probably just avoid these discussions altogether.
  15. Holy ****, how I miss football.
  16. Care to actually quantify your statement with anything even remotely substantial? And no, your nonsensical anecdotes don't count.
  17. A 9-12 game season if July is the projected start time seems reasonable, IMO. I just want CFL and some title defense Blue Bomber action!
  18. Speaking of fuckwits: https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/canada-doctor-world-health-organization-airborne-1.5994889
  19. El Capitan is back!!
  20. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/pimicikamak-cross-lake-cree-nation-shares-vaccine-doses-teachers-front-line-workers-1.5992729 Pretty awesome news!
  21. Try YTS and use an app like MuTorrent to download it. That's what I did and it worked great. 1080p, too. Really enjoyable movie. Heavy John Wick and Equalizer vibes. A lot of scenes showing off the city, too! https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-actor-nobody-movie-1.5992651 Pretty cool read about one of the actors in it who happens to be from Winnipeg.
  22. Boom!!! What a deal!!!
  23. Imagine being that ******* frail and paranoid while simultaneously claiming to be a proud and free American.
  24. Some troubling news regarding yet another variant (B1617): https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/south-asia/india-has-a-double-mutant-virus-variant-should-we-be-worried These variant strains can **** right off.
