Yeah my first thought seeing this was "oh that person is gonna get killed if they send the cops". Glad you had some smarts there. There have been multiple indigenous people killed in wellness checks in Canada as well in recent weeks.

A book that stuck with me for a long time was The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. It was a fairly quick read too, I'm a slow reader so definitely longer than a day but I think I read it over a short vacation.

Had to check myself cause my brain wanted to say "maybe some of them got in there for the right reasons", which, idk maybe but the incarceration system is garbage and ACAB in the end.

It was on the ex-wife's blog that was allegedly hacked. Something tells me it wasn't hacked.

His response could've only been worse/better if he had said "sorry, I learned from my prime minister".

Though at least JT acknowledged it was wrong lol

Does anyone know something not terribly complicated for blocking YouTube ads on Xbox one? We don't have a smart tv and the ads are infuriating when I remember they exist

You're supposed to eat AROUND the hole

Also the fact that they kicked the indigenous reporter out, not just anti immigrant just good old fashioned racist. When we should be protesting also because cops have recently killed 6 indigenous people in the span of two weeks across Canada.

ACAB.

Also, if anyone is in BC, make sure you VOTE next month. The conservative leader is promising to give more funding to cops while taking away from "unnecessary government spending" (read: social programs).

*editing to correct my previous statement: they've killed 9 indigenous people since August 29

Ok I know you have the s but I'm legitimately so confused. Last month people were actually talking about how scientists said that it's likely aliens have been living among us for a long time. And didn't the white house make some big alien announcement a while back??

Am I losing it or is this whole thread just a big joke on how those announcements went nowhere

P Diddy is on trial for having a huge drug, sex and human trafficking ring and had like 10,000 tonnes of lube and baby oil in his house, and I guess dildos also.

It's a small win but after months of agonizing over my contract end date and a million rejected job applications, I got extended for another few months. Honestly just a huge weight off my shoulders as I desperately needed a break from the job search and was only a couple weeks away from the end date. Plus, it's looking likely they'll be able to make my position permanent by the end of this extension 🤞🏽

I live in a suburban more than totally rural area but we have lots of trails and bushy areas around. Usually they just set up tents on the side of those trails. Walked past a guy who had an entire cot set up and was just napping on the side of a trail midday the other day. The benches in our area are also less anti-homeless than the ones downtown so I don't doubt people sleep there at night.

I saw a video of one guy (who isn't homeless but does urban camping on YouTube) set up camp in the middle of a roundabout with lots of bushes and I think that's honestly probably one of the best spots where people wouldn't find you/call cops on you.
