KILL. ALL. RENTSEEKERS. Make them earn, not profit. Do provide your service, do not gouge and we can all get along.

secure core’ vpn It's a Proton system that is designed to fortify online privacy by routing traffic through privacy-friendly countries before it exits to the public internet. Harder to track means less ad revenue for the corp - boo hoo - so they throttle the hell out of users to drive them away and protect their ad revenue stream to track-able "clients" who foot the bill for this malfeasance.

Not sure where you are, OP, thank you for posting my Friday pick-me-up!

Thereby rendering the US PMoF a valueless trinket destined to disappoint someone on the Antiques Roadshow in 2055.

On Saturday I was charged $0.25 for a bag at their chic boutique. Last time I'll buy anything nestle. They have incessantly raised prices, chopped down service, and now, according to the cashier, they're charging for paper bags on their $$$ pick up orders.

FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

Fucking liars. If the gave a tenth of a shit about THE ENVIRONMENT, they wouldn't evacuate groundwater sources to re-sell people the water to which they are already the owners.

Off the list!!

Nationally, violent crime is down 32% since 2000. Ticketing is automated (and business is booming) so what exactly is the reason for demanding more taxpayer dollars? Penis envy? ACAB

Are you dense? Does every article written need full referencing for you to hold your smug comments? You are the reason a difference of opinion devolves into irrelevant diatribes on supposed tangents.

Fact: the "artist" is a right wing proponent Fact: the federal government does not support a point of view. Fact: the spewing of a political agenda is no sanctioned Fact: Even the Canadian champion of the right-wing nut-o-sphere, career political hack and recent loser, l'il pp, knows better than to spew his pus in federally funded venues.

Grow a brain. Or a brian, as the case may be.

Well, no. While the right-wing industrial outrage complex might perseverate over some suspicious and hidden agenda, the truth is much simpler. Outside the bubble of red-right performative pearl clutching it is an Occam's Razor solution that is factually and blatantly clear: when your objective is to incite violence and intolerance, there is no Federal coddling or Constitutional protection. Even when you screw your toe into the ground and bat your fluttering eyelashes claiming innocence, you cannot pretend away the true meaning of this shill's tone-deaf rally. Hate-speech is dangerous to the public good as so is anyone who defends it.

Racist and tone deaf. Tracks for pigs. I'll allow it.

And surprisingly tasty. It's a complete package.

 

The driver didn't wait, I waited for them. Four cents is twice the cost of my brand loyalty.

I hope this starts a trend. If these greed-driven whoring corporations want to glom onto every penny they can, fuck 'em. I'm out.

 

Rent-seekers can't trust brokers to do their work for them. BIG SAD. Now they have to do something to earn their ill-gotten booty.

CBC Site Of course the Ottawa resident isn't going to leave Stornoway and move to his suburban McMansion. Unemployable as he is, finding a mover who'll take "I'm sure to win the next election!" as a guarantee of payment is, ummmm, sketchier than most movers will accept.

 

If we were to make it too costly for US based companies to advertise would that bolster the "Buy Canadian" trip we're on. So Ford, Kraft, McDonalds etc can go fuck themselves.

Right?

 

I grew up listening to fundie christian parents babble at length how we were living in end times. And mocking them mercilessly (at first among my fiends, later to their faces) as often as possible.

Now look at us - on the brink of non-existence politically, environmentally, and civilizationally. Not sure that last one is a word.

If they were right I'm gonna have some 'splainin to do.

Dammit.

 
 

Just asking. I do not see me alive under u.s. reign, so I've already played that out; just a discussion.

Butt-hurt real estate speculator can't unload this white elephant so now the city should spend public funds on acquiring it. And maintaining it.

Because reasons.

Huh?

If you are facing or have recently faced a renoviction by a flipper or merchant housing dealer, you may not understand the reason: greed. I recently went through a renoviction and it took me some time to see the reason why: the commodification of housing.

Better put as how to double your return on idle money by simply evicting the vulnerable and artificially inflating housing costs.

Big shout out to the conservative faction of "god what's you to be richer at any cost" for bolting a moral veneer of piety to this cruel and commandment breaking (#8, #9, & #10) approach.
