always has. If you’re not researching or willing to be a feed to some tech company then you’re not much good to that place.

“The beatings will continue until moral improves” Feels like we’re in a domestic abusive relationship with these politicians…all of them. The cons are morons without an original thought in their head, they looked south, got jealous and said “we want some of that”

the NDP lost their spine when Layton died and their current leader is more concerned about optics then doing anything of actual meaning.

And then you go the liberals who have managed to piss off most of the country, then laugh about it, then wave their hand at the rest of the shitshow parties in this country and say “really? them? haha good luck with that.”

we’re fucked.

and more and more people will become homeless. hell it’s already happening.

I was homeless years ago and thankfully got out of it. But when I was homeless, getting off the streets was an absolute cake walk compared to today. How much did it take me to save to do it? $1500 total. that’s it. that was working a part time job and saving enough for first and last. that $1500 included first and last AND money for clothes to interview/work as well as food. And that was only 10 years ago. It took me all of maybe, MAYBE, 2 months once I decided to get my shit together.

Now I volunteer for a food bank and community centre/drop-in and weekly, almost daily, you see new faces. And I’m not talking mentally ill or addict faces, I’m talking regular sane sober scared men, women, and children who have fallen with absolutely zero nets to save them. MOST work too. It’s the same stories over and over again. Landlord kept increasing the rent, Landlord decided to move in, Landlord decided to renovate in order to increase the rent for someone else, can’t afford food, can’t afford clothes, etc, etc, etc.

They all want help and we can only provide what we have which isn’t much at all because the Canadian Government sure as shit ain’t helping. The meals we provide the portions have gotten smaller simply because we don’t have enough to cook for everyone. We don’t have enough food to give out a few times a week cause the lineups will be around the block and we’re hardly getting any donations in cause no one can afford to donate. We’re running out of blankets, socks, hygiene stuff cause again no one can afford to donate that stuff. We’ve given up with shelter referrals cause they’re all full where over 50% of the clients living in shelters are refugees leaving Canadians to rough it outside. We’ve started handing out tents to people when we get them in. I cried the other day because I handed a child sized tent to a kid with his family and I had NEVER done that before. I’m used to dealing with the Homeless mentally ill and addicts. I’m used to telling them how to survive outside in the winter. I’m NOT used to telling a 7 year old boy how to set up a tent, how to layer his sleeping bags, and how to stay warm IF he and his family isn’t off the streets by this winter. It’s sick, It’s disgusting. It’s absolutely infuriating and if it doesn’t make your blood boil and demand change and demand it now then you’re dead inside.

I’ve emailed politicians left right and center. I’ve emailed Ford, Trudeau even Chow and countless upon countless MPPs and I’ve challenged them all, dared them, to stop by my community centre and look that 7 year old boy dead in the eyes and tell him WHY he can’t have his own bedroom, why he has to sleep outside, why the shelters are full, why his parents can’t afford to provide for him, why there’s no where affordable to live. these “leaders” are all cowards not a single one as responded and taken me up on my offer. They don’t care, none of them care.

Heads on pikes, then they’ll care.

has damaged the school’s reputation

yeah that was damaged well before this encampment but ok.

driven up administrative and operational costs for the university and depreciated the university’s property values.

Or “We’re the UofW, we’ve never cared about students or what they believe in…like never. IF they refuse to be fed to the grinder of a US tech company or refuse to be a research zombie then we couldn’t give two shits about them. We spend what little we can on facilities here and have done so for…well forever, I mean really have you ever been to Dana Porter Library? and we said the quiet thing out loud with property value cause…yeah. Fuck the students and fuck Waterloo and especially fuck those peasants living in Kitchener…just ew.”

AND NOW it’s come out he was ALSO during the same period sexting a transgender sex worker for private cam shows in exchange for partner status on Twitch: https://x.com/iqkev/status/1806236733727555604 After receiving said cam shows, the Doc promptly blocked her.

isn’t this like the third time something like this as either happened or was suggest to someone? like “sorry we can’t help you, hey…have you thought about dying as an option?”

The one that pops to mind was that military veteran that was asked if she had considered taking MAID for some issue and thankfully she out right refused.

Either things like this are going to become more common due to our severe lack of funding for healthcare and mental healthcare OR they do away with MAID completely and then…people take matters into their own hands. Regardless it’s going to get worse. Wouldn’t surprise me if people start applying to MAID simply because they can’t afford rent. wouldn’t surprise me if people have already tried that.

or just straight up give it to their mafia buddies.

Unless Dougie wants his kneecaps broken/thumbs cut off it ain’t happening. He has a debt to pay to a family that’s building across the street of the OSC.

WoW these days you can pretty much get through the game and into endgame stuff without being in a guild. It’ll be more tough if you’re looking to run mythics/heroics but if you honestly don’t care about running heroic/mythic raids/dungeons then you 100% never need to talk to anyone.

then you have games like EVE Online where it’s pretty much essential you get yourself into a corp/alliance or a solid Discord group. Sure you can solo but doing so makes an already tough game insanely harder or you’ve regulated yourself to the relative safety of empire space. Faction Warfare is a great noob friendly starting point to dip your toes into corps/alliances and the politics/meta involved with that stuff. But in many cases joining a corp/alliance in EVE is like applying for a job. background checks, interviews, mandatory monthly meetings and call to arms/operations, etc. EVE is like working on Wall Street but you don’t get paid.

FFXIV is another one you really don’t need to join a Free Company. And chances are if you do join one most of them aren’t running the content anyways, you’re just joining to talk and hang out.

stay out of Limsa.

There’s still a mass group of people that are harping on him about vaccines. hell they were marching around the CBC and Eaton centre literally this past weekend STILL ranting about how Trudeau forced Canadians to take 2 vaccines. How many years PAST that are we now? these are the type of people that will ensure a conservative win and if THAT doesn’t scare you then I don’t know what will.

his tweet was…wow. admits to sexting a minor, says he’s not a pedophile and hates pedophiles, says he’s gonna take a break and then come back similar to the time he admitted to cheating on his wife (likely with a minor at this point).

The timeline of events is wild too. He says he was sexting with the kid in 2017, the same year he admitted on stream he cheated on his wife. But he got banned in 2020…yeah because if you read the bloomberg article you’d see it wasn’t until then that it was reported to twitch by either the victim, their family or someone close to them that it happened. proof in the pudding? literally two days prior to the ban Twitch released a statement about how it was investigating and cracking down on streamers who were discovered to be sexting minors on the platform. two days AFTER that statement doc gets banned (Ludwigs most recent video here: https://youtu.be/lMRu0jqQssw?si=QopJRTpxAUrICRIa&t=503 goes into detail)

Nah man this is it for you bud. All his buddies (Nickmercs, Timthetatman, etc) have come out and said they’re done with him. If you support the guy you’re pretty much admitting you support pedophilia.

So now I’m curious when he cheated on his wife, was it with someone underage?
