Gary and his Demons

Hmm. Good point. Thanks.

Their point was to whine. If we need to buy local and OP’s intention is not just to piss and moan they could give a single example, or link to a list, or start a little data base.

Even just list some tips to start figuring it out for yourself, like "go to your fridge and take out the most expensive/most used items. Find the label and figure out where it’s from. If it isn’t from Canada do a google search for “local mayonnaise” or “Ontario made cheese”, or “Toronto hot sauce” and start looking for alternatives. They aren’t the single only person living in Montreal on Lemmy, and even if they were, their recommendation could lead others to search in a different way for what they need.

I’m not disagreeing with anything said, I’m trying to encourage the whiners to also contribute, as I have been as I whine about whiners. It should be a requirement.

Just try. Instead of whining uselessly. A single Canadian made product you enjoy. You don’t have one? Then you are the problem.

You don’t want people buying big name brands. You say everyone else is stupid. Fucking pull your weight then.

I’m sitting on the can and I can see ‘true earth’ brand toilet cleaner is made in Canada. They have laundry soap and dish soap too.

And I know my fancy Lush shampoos and stuff are super local, if you can afford it.

And just in case laundry detergent isn’t on the tariff list I have Okazu miso chili oil on my counter at all times.

And Matty Matheson has a brand of kraft dinner that’s pretty dang good and not that much more expensive than KD.

So what about you? Gonna keep whining about a shitty list or are you gonna post something helpful? If everyone else in this thread did the same thing we’d have something to work with.

Crikey that Thermite can be spicy!

Sadly Lowblaw and the other Grocery mafia are just going to hike the price of the domestic options to the same price as the US and start wailing about the gas tax and COVID supply chains.

I’m calling it now. Watch those fuckers. You’ll see.

Please provide a list then.

Seriously. I understand you waving the flag pointing out the lowblaw connection (I noticed it too and I haven’t shopped at lowblaw or their counterparts more than a dozen times in the last 2 years), but people need alternatives.

Even ONE option would be helpful, otherwise you are just making this shit seem even more hopeless.

I mean he’s being bukaked with publicity… So if that’s his thing?

What I’d like to know, assuming there is still logic and sanity in this world (please it’s all I have don’t argue) how would a company from this list have avoided this in the first place? Like once you start advertising with a partner like X then you may never stop? Seriously I’m not sure. So maybe just never risk doing business with anyone because you’ll be sued into staying in business with them forever? I’m certain it’s right in their contracts how and when they can leave, is that in dispute?

Live action/CGI gargoyles trilogy. Period piece (1991 New York) The vibe should be TMNT secret of the ooze. Silver Fox Johnathan Frakes plays the big bad, but not his original role, I’ll get a writer’s room to figure out his actual link to the situation, revealed at the end of the first movie.

Could end up crossing over with a live action CGI version of the current TMNT mutant mayhem situation, I’m open to it. Maybe The Last Ronan storyline is involved.

I see you have given this some thought.

It’s fun but I have such trouble with the controls… My dad is in his 70’ s and he tries but I stopped offering… Big bummer because I love it when I can find games we can enjoy together, but as he gets older he has switched from keyboard and mouse to a controller, and he gets a lot more enjoyment out of games that don’t involve quick multi button actions. Though he won’t admit it. :(

I just want to jump through the window FFS!!! No don’t turn that way hit the zombie!

I’d be up for The Wasp Factory. In the Gothic horror style of “the fall of the house of usher”(Netflix?)

“Not cheating!” -you in your first post.

You know when you avoid doing something, cause you know it’s stupid and pointless? Like it won’t matter if you do it so why do it? But then some annoying little turd keeps bringing it up. And now it’s more work to ignore them than it would be to do the thing.

And then you go to do the thing and it takes .5 seconds cause that’s how dumb the guy is. Then you end up enjoying taking the time and wishing you’d done it the first time?

Gosh you are hopeless. I’m so sorry.

Maybe your mommy has time to explain it to you?

Do you need me to define “defend”? Or are you just that clueless?

Google can help with the first problem. Noone can help you with the second.

Ok, so you claim you think you are autistic. That’s fair, reading posts can be as hard as being in a room with unfamiliar people who have inside jokes or use sarcasm alot.

So perhaps then you should listen to what everyone here is telling you: boosting and account sharing is a form of cheating, recognised by the platforms he runs those games on. Elon did that, denied he was doing it. And got caught.

Elon cheated.

No Elon didn’t cheat by using the Konami code or downloading an aim not or mod or anything like that. He cheated by boosting and account sharing.

You are getting down votes for two reasons here: you are wrong (he did cheat, it’s how that you seem worried about) and you are defending one of the shittiest people to currently exist on the planet.

Those are the facts. Hope that helps.

Went looking for Reply All. I found that podcast as my “first” podcast, I’d never gotten into any before. Listened from episode one every day for weeks, and suddenly… They were announcing they were ending… I hadn’t realized they had ended…

Because they hadn’t yet. I somehow timed my listening of the whole show such that I heard the second or third last episode (where they first announced the ending) on the day it was put out… So I had to wait a week each for the last 2 episodes…

Great variety of content, despite the tagline…

Second how did this get made, listened to it on the way back from a trip this afternoon. I avoid the “Live!” ones as they are usually very poorly mixed and often the audience gets involved so you just sit and listen to badly mixed laughter for 4 minutes. Go see em live if you want that experience.

We all see what we want to see. Thanks to Robert Lee!

Sure would be. I still wish I knew who that dude was.
