TROPHY CASE

No one thinks that. Not even those trying to set up strawmen to knock down.

Last nights pairing: Cohiba Siglo II and Chivas Regal by BramaLlamain cigars

[–]avrus 1 point2 points ago

Oh man, I think /r/cigars is getting too serious these days. It was a joke, playing off the common response every time someone posts a Cuban as to the authenticity. Instead of questioning the authenticity of the Cuban, I questioned the authenticity of the Chivas. I figured that would be fairly ridiculous since ... who would question the authenticity of a bottle of liquor.

I should use sarcasm font next time.

How a bizarre legal case involving a mysterious billionaire could force 1.2 million Canadians to be married, against their will. by NotPhilin TrueReddit

As an Albertan I wish we adopted the Quebec system for living with partners. Choice is freedom.

The cigar is genuine, sadly the Chivas turned out to be fake ...

Quebec is trampling basic human rights to quash student protests by koavfin worldnews

[–]avrus 0 points1 point ago

If you didn't misinterpret, you obviously didn't write what you meant to.

I meant exactly what I said. You just aren't grasping it. You stated (unknowingly) 'loser high school drop outs' in Alberta have more opportunities than young Quebecers. You should probably go back and read what you wrote so you comprehend it better.

First, I don't know what it's like where you are, but there aren't a lot of Frenchies on the job site, and those that are there are not well liked.

Now why do you suppose that is? We get guys from the East Coast, West Coast, Manitoba, Saskatchewan ... all walks of life. But no one likes guys from Quebec. See above to entitlement attitude.

I know exactly what it looks like. It looks like you.

I don't think think you do. I'm not the one going around judging people.

and have much better schools than those poor Frenchie shmucks in Quebec

I guarantee all the students who had to fight their way into the U of A and U of C would love to see their tuition drop 70% down to the Quebec levels.

and a bunch of smug French morons would be talking about how great they are because they have oil.

That's the difference. We aren't smug because of oil, we're pissed off that people come into our house, take our money and then tell us to go fuck ourselves.

I suspect you have misinterpreted what I said somehow. I am clearly implying that they are worse than young Quebecers, and I have no idea how you possibly could have misinterpreted that.

No I didn't misinterpret. You clearly stated that people who drive trucks for oil companies are high school drop out losers and that young Quebecers don't have the same opportunities. As if they somehow can't come to Alberta and work in the oil patch.

And trust me, a disturbingly high number of the people here (who are not technical staff) are fucking scumbag losers.

I know. I also work in the industry. That doesn't mean that they all are.

And you're goddamn right there is a sense of entitlement.

You're confusing entitlement with being pissed off at Canadians who will take transfer payments from Alberta in one hand and then piss and moan about Alberta and Albertas on the other.

The fact of the matter is that Quebec students enjoy (by far) the lowest tuition rates in Canada, while the province is the beneficiary of a gargantuan amount of money coming from Alberta. You want to talk about entitlement ...

In fact, I suspect that one big reason we don't is because we wouldn't know what to do with all the truck drivers.

That's called a Luddite fallacy.

[–]avrus -10 points-9 points ago

Do you suppose young Quebecers have this opportunity?

Uh ... are you saying that 'loser' high school drop outs are better than young Quebecers? What if I told you that you could work for a year in the oil patch which would pay for your school and you wouldn't have to have student loan debt.

but there is a hilarious sense of entitlement from Albertans as well as Quebecers.

Naw, we just don't appreciate elitist mentality such as yours going around insulting and labeling people.

Since mass can travel bi-directionally through the portal, gravitational forces would also work through the portal.

Because Han Solo killed one of Jabba the Hut's minions who was sent to "collect". At that point it was no longer a matter of money and now it was a matter of Jabba saving face.

American Heart Association: Tasers can cause death by allliein science

[–]avrus 1 point2 points ago

If we're going to post quotes let's call a spade a spade. She got tased for:

  • Refusing to sign her ticket, which was an arrestable offense. Thereby escalating the situation.

  • Resisting arrest by refusing instructions of the officers. Escalated the situation again.

  • She was advised she would be tased if she did not comply. She continued to not comply.

Excessive force? For sure, the cops were douche bags for tasing a pregnant woman. Could have been avoided?

Well in my experience mouthing off to cops, refusing instructions and resisting arrest are all things that will have negative outcomes.

Take a trip with me down memory lane as I reminisce about my childhood neighborhood arcade by scherzoxin cade

[–]avrus 2 points3 points ago

Yes, a 10 year old kid could walk alone in Chicago in those days. I'm 34 now and could never imagine letting my 9 year old daughter do the same. Times have changed.

I just wanted to interject at this point as there was an excellent TrueReddit article about this just a little while ago. Would you believe that violent crime and crime in general is way down from when you were a kid? As is kidnappings ...

But it's our perception of the world around as as nefarious and ever present danger in part because of the bombardment by media.

Great story though, I loved that I could spend a day in the arcade for $10.

You shouldn't have been downvoted. The WoW AH was easy to use and had a variety of filter functions for searching. By contrast the D3 system seems to be designed to make it as painful as possible.
