Seriously. Not everyone can afford to “roam” in the first place.

It’s pizza pops all the way down

If you’re going to steal cars, you should at least learn how to drive

This seems to have worked, got my desktop back. I did fsck on something like /dev/sda9 then answered yes to fix a bunch of things. Thanks for your help.

Possibly - the laptop battery died and the first thing when turning it on was to set system time in BIOS. But it’s not the first time doing that, just the first time it didn’t boot afterwards.

I’m not disagreeing with your comment btw. I was speaking to your question about the title.

In the eyes of a renter, homeowners are rich. It’s (unfortunately) an amazing investment with a very high barrier to entry.

Yeah I did go a bit low. My actual rent is more than that.

Imagine paying over $1000 for rent every month, except that if you decide to move, you (theoretically) get that money back, and (likely) even more.

Now imagine that same $1000 going to someone else and you never see it again.

They are the organized crime

Surprise, they’re owned by Loblaws

Loblaws: 🔥 this is fine 🔥

Yeah, nobody wants to pay strata fees forever on top of their mortgage. Surprise.

I don’t think the person you’re replying to is defending Loblaws, just saying we need to look at the right numbers to correctly call bullshit.

Here,

The company’s quarterly profit was $459 million, marking a 9.8 per cent increase.

I already don’t shop at any of those, and will continue not to.

This is interesting to me. Do you have any examples of how you would word something differently in Australia compared to Canada?

So instead of using a more Canadian culturally appropriate phrase, like “here is where to turn when in need” or “this helps me afford rent”, many will just be less cautious and might say “here is how I save hundreds of bucks” or “here is how I get free food”.

“Bigots HATE this one weird trick!”

Canada: “Canada is so great, come live here!”

Immigrants: “ok, just arrived”

Canada: “there’s nowhere to live and it’s all YOUR fault”

That RRSP change might be an even bigger deal - the cost of a down payment has been a major obstacle.
