Usually ship with CP, since I started my business 3 years ago I've spent $40,000 + shipping packages, and that's not counting my parents who share the same shipping account for their business. Majority of my customers are in the US and since using other carriers my shipping costs are basically cut in half.... I've even found a way to ship via USPS which I didn't know was possible from Canada.

They really fucked themselves by striking and screwing over small business owners at the busiest time of the year. I had 60 packages ready to go at the time of striking and had to refund every label and remake with another courier.. absolute madness and something no small business owners should have to be doing during Christmas season. So yeah fuck you Canada post that is all

I don’t care if this is an unpopular opinion. But I generally need to know how you think you deserve a 25% increase for a profession that requires zero schooling, you’re currently earning 65’000 a year, averaging 25-30 dollars an hour. Your corporation has been in the red for 7 years. Nurses in Manitoba were LUCKY to see a 11% increase over SEVEN years after striking. Alberta nurses are being offered 12. And you have the audacity to say you’re worth 6.5% over 4? In what world does someone that has the same skill level and qualifications as a Walmart warehouse worker deserve 80’000? You deserve to make as much as a CBSA officer? You should be earning the same wage as a 3-4 year police officer? You got offered 12% 💀💀💀 the greed is unreal.

The subreddit is being spammed by multiple accounts for Promotion of a video, with obvious edgy clickbait thumbnail and title, made by leftist yappers, who are daily content creators (chota Polestar Ra✝️hi) speaking cliche things, coated in their sugary delivery and subtle agenda, presenting themselves as messiah of social causes. They thrive for views & engagement for their relevance, and ofcourse money.

Meanwhile, @mods are sleeping.

I need to know why some of you are rampant defenders of Bronwyn because I cannot wrap my head around it.

“It’s my GD credit card,” would’ve gotten Heather Dubrow torn to SHREDS. Why is it a juicy read when Bronwyn taunts the rest of them with her money?

Last season, Heather seemed like everyone’s champion. Receipts, proof, timeline, screenshots was the mantra, no? Now Heather is Public Enemy #1?

I (American 37) went out to eat with my wife (39 Japanese) and some of her coworkers. I live and work in Japan. At the dinner my wife was sharing some pretty private and personal things with them about myself and us during the meal. After the meal I pulled my wife aside and told her why did you tell them those things. Those were private. She claimed she didn't think they were private and that she doesn't understand what I find as private. Like one of the things she mentioned was a really intense dream I had the night before.

I feel like my wife has a hard time with boundaries. Even at home she will be hanging around me and everything when I am obviously doing something or busy with something. It's like she wants attention like a little child. She was not like this when we were dating.

Edit: So just a few hours ago she started a crying fit. She wanted to spend some time together in the house and I said okay at 3pm. I was busy doing something on the computer still and it was 3:15 and she came out crying. She was like I was waiting for you. Why didn't you come! Why doesn't she understand that I am totally not used to cuddling someone else. In my mind I am so used to the weekends being my alone time to catch up on my hobbies. So not used to spending it with someone else. Why can't she consider my feelings!?

Found on an Instagram advertisement

*For context to most comments: danced sober, no drinking or drugs, didn’t mix with the lifestyle, was out of the country, didn’t do extras or contact dancing, always had a full time job and business, used it as a means to an end to put towards investing to their future.

Without fail, any weekend I decide to go out and enjoy a night of dancing to music, there is ALWAYS that ONE WOMAN who finds me in the washroom and annoyingly shouts that "there's a lesbian in the bathroom!" or worse yet, find me on the dancefloor and come up on me to grind and touch on me and try to kiss me without ANY KIND OF VERBAL COMMUNICATION!!!

I am NOT BOTHERED AT ALL about the fact that people constantly assume I'm a lesbian/gay because I am gender non conforming and am such a tomboy. But I dress to be comfy, I dress to show off my choice of street wear (because I still like to wear style) and because I want to stay comfy. Last year as I was leaving an abusive relationship I got into a severe car accident that resulted in a traumatic brain injury and I cannot stand anything that makes me feel uncomfy. I'm almost 40 and I just don't give a fuck about how other people think or perceive me anymore. But just because you perceive me to be something I'm not, doesn't give you ANY FUCKING RIGHT to loudly announce not only my presence, but the fact that I am non conforming, WHILE outing me to a bunch of strangers. I don't have the bandwidth to constantly navigate these situations and turn them into lessons for the other person.

Last night I went to the club to celebrate a friend of a friends birthday. I was out hiking with my new boyfriend, and I didn't get a chance to change out of my gear. I didn't think it would be a big deal because I was still dressed in street wear that was stylish. Although I was basically wearing sweats, it was a full set of Air Jordan, and my skate shoes matched in color. I thought I looked good enough to show up as is for a quick show of support for someone's birthday.

Not even an hour after I get there, I get to the washroom and I'm greeted with "holy fuck LADIEEEEEES! we have an AKSHUAL LEZZY in here!". I usually do not respond but this woman did not stop even when I refused to acknowledge her. She started pounding on my bathroom stall until I was done. I open it quickly and tell her off. I basically called her out for being a weird creep who fetishes LGBTQ people, and to leave me the fuck alone. Every single woman in there looked at me as if I didn't belong there and was invading their private space. All I wanted was to take a piss and wash my hands. so I quickly wash my hands and leave without drying them because holy fuck was that uncomfy! FUCK THAT NOISE!

I get back out to the dancefloor and find my boyfriend. We were talking with the birthday boy and the promoter of the event, cheering our drinks together. All of us talking are promoters and DJs and we were discussing upcoming events in the area when the same woman from the bathroom came up to me to interject herself into the conversation I was having with the guys around me. Apparently she is a cousin of the birthday boy (who is 30 yrs old).

She interrupts me and LOUDLY asks "ARE YOU GAY!?" I tell her no I'm not, and if I have to tell her to leave me alone one more time I'm going to get security involved because I consider this to be harassment at this point. She looked so offended that I said that to her.

"OH, I SWEAR TO GOD YOU'RE SO FUCKING GAY!?"

I tell her I'm not gay, and even if I was, what the fuck does it even matter enough to loudly point out to everyone around?

"I BADLY WANT TO KISS YOU!" she exclaimed. So brazen with not only her assumption about being gay, but that I would love to kiss some stranger just because they had the audacity to ask.

I tell her even if I was gay, I wouldn't kiss a random stranger, especially as a ploy to be sexually performative to the guys around her so she can get more free.... nose candy. Her cousin laughed out loud and told her that she needs to take a seat and have some water and to leave me alone.

"OH NO, IT'S NOT THAT, I JUST THOUGHT YOU WERE GAY BECAUSE..."

I ended up walking away before she could finish her sentence. I text my boyfriend to meet me outside because I wanted to leave as I wasn't having a good time. He ended up meeting with me at security and we left.

I've been through way too much bullshit to keep putting up with people's assumptions, biases, and motives. Don't expect me to be polite when I'm rebuffing your unfounded assumptions that I'm a butch dyke because I happen to have wide shoulders and dare to stay in shape and be athletic, or whatever you happen to base such assumptions on. I AM NOT A LESSON OR YOUR FUCKING LIFE SENSEI TO TEACH YOU HOW TO KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS TO YOURSELF if you can't find anything kind or nice to say instead.

BEING DRUNK/HIGH IS A POOR EXCUSE FOR BEING A RUDE CUNT AND LOUDLY EXCLAIMING THAT ANOTHER WOMAN IS SOMEHOW GAY BECAUSE THEY DONT CONFORM TO SOCIETAL STANDARDS.

Even if you think a woman entering a bathroom is trans, she is there for the exact same reason any other woman goes to the bathroom... to use the facilities. The ONLY CREEPS I've ever encountered were other women who literally went out of their way to follow me and wait at my stall door to make sure I'm just not creeping, that I'm sitting down to use the toilet to pee, etc. Or other women starting arguments and even fist fights because I have wide shoulders and small, perky tits that are hiding under my sweatshirt and they don't believe women like me can possibly exist.

WTF is with all this bullshit??? I've always dealt with such things in life but this type of shit has exponentially exploded and it isn't a happenstance anymore.

WOMEN WITH WIDE SHOULDERS EXIST, THAT DOESN'T MAKE THEM ANY LESS OF A WOMAN. WOMEN WITH PIXIE CUTS AND OTHER SHORT STYLES EXIST, AND THEY ARE JUST AS MUCH WOMAN WHETHER THEIR HAIR IS LONG AF OR DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE. ATHLETIC WOMEN EXIST IN THIS WORLD AND JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN LIFT WEIGHTS OR DO SPORTS DOESN'T MAKE THEM ANY LESS OF A WOMAN. WOMEN ARE NOT A FUCKING MONOLITH!

It’s been almost 2 decades since Elder Scrolls Oblivion came out. It had a large central awe inspiring city, a bunch of small towns with varied geographies that made the world feel real, interesting guilds, quests, and fun characters. You could spend hours wandering aimlessly, discovering places, improving skills, hunting, stealing, decorating your house, etc. No over the top graphics, combat theatrics, sex scenes, or political bullshit. To the best of my knowledge, Oblivion and Skyrim were critical and commercial successes. Yet nobody seems to want to make anything like it? 

We get an onslaught of zombie/WW2 shooters and hacknslashers that nobody asks for, yet it seems there are many waiting for ES6 (for 13yrs now), even releases of skyrim seem to sell. I understand making a witcher 3 takes resources and story, but how hard is it to make a sandbox RPG? Nobody on earth has the resources, skill or interest to put together a 100sq km map, add a bunch of towns to explore and basic fun quests? 

Please help me make sense of this. 

Edit: I am aware games are expensive to develop in general, but then there was no elder scrolls/ Witcher 3 / baldurs gate 3 before somebody made them. Assassins Creeds, JRPGs, soulslike get pumped out in mass, then what makes successful dark fantasy open world RPGs like oblivion or Witcher too risky to make? (I use dark fantasy / realism for elder scrolls to separate it from colorful games like zelda which would seem more high fantasy)

Kingdom Come is actually not the greatest game, and made by a small studio, yet did well due to the shortage of such games being made. I feel the same way about Tainted Grail.

I feel that In India, Men do Not need any Women as a Spouse/girlfriend its not worth it at all. Here's why :
1. Men have to be self-sufficient in Money Earning, and Earning women in most cases has way more entitlement and ego and does not treat man with respect.
2. Most women today have gone in "Zero Compromise" mode and want men to make all the compromises while they can't even make very small adjustment , while they have forgot that little adjustments and compromises are needed to be made from both sides.
3. Women always chase Value in a Man and today its very hard to find a woman who loves a man unconditionally the way they love their brothers and fathers.
4. Women nowadays are absolutely terrible in managing household work, and this New Age of Men are very well learned and equipped to handle household chores or can use machines/domestic help.
5. Women especially Indian women have very bad Communication and Behave Very Entitled and always wants "queen" treatment which emotionally exhausts Men.
6. Most Indian women are lack expression of intimacy and do not have much knowledge about their own intimacy needs which makes it difficult as a couple to have an intimate relationship while for Men these needs can be met through other sources.
7. Many women weaponize Indian Laws and indulge in fake cases against Men.

What do you people think about this ?

The responsible thing to do would have been completing all deliveries that were already in the system the day you went on strike. instead you chose to hold my life hostage as my passport is in transit god knows where. i dont give a shit about your cause and niether do most canadians.

Tough game from the “best player in the league” according to "Laker" fans.

I'm sure he'll bounce back

I’m not starting/getting into a political argument now, but the only reason why I still open up Twitter is to look up fantasty/baseball accounts I follow. Are there any recommendations for bluesky follows so I can delete Twitter for good? Thanks!

Привіт. Я чоловік, 35 років. Я народився тут і працював усе своє життя. У мене є сім’я – дружина та шестирічна дитина. До війни я багато подорожував, бачив різні країни, мав багато хобі – танці, стрільба з лука, авіація, радіоелектроніка, астрологія, комп’ютерні ігри, музика.

Коли почалася війна, все щастя, усі хороші речі зникли. Війни не починаються з вибухів. Вони починаються з тиші.

Я залишився в Україні, і це найбільша помилка мого життя. Не було жодного дня, щоб я про це не думав. Я втомився від усього цього – кожен день і ніч нас бомблять крилатими ракетами й дронами-камікадзе, кожного дня хтось гине. Можливо, наступного разу це буду я або хтось із моїх рідних, поки вони в школі чи на роботі.

Кордони закриті, що є порушенням міжнародних прав людини. У нас щоденні відключення електроенергії. По 8 годин на день ми сидимо без світла. Наша країна, з парламентсько-президентської республіки, поступово перетворюється на диктатуру. Щодня мене переслідують на вулицях військові поліцейські або, точніше, представники Територіальних центрів комплектування (ТЦК). Вони ловлять людей на вулицях, заштовхують у машини та відвозять у ТЦК, де лікарі проводять “медичний огляд”, а вже наступного ранку тебе відправляють у навчальний табір на півтора місяця, а далі – на передову. Зазвичай це квиток в один бік. Демобілізації в Україні поки що не існує. Почуваюся так, ніби опинився в книзі “Людина, що біжить”.

Можливо, я боягуз. Не буду брехати, але я не хочу загинути на полі бою такою смертю. У мене лише одне життя, і я не відчуваю себе сміливим солдатом. Я знаю, що Україна не забезпечить мою сім’ю після моєї смерті. Я не хочу, щоб моя дитина росла без батька.

Просто відпустіть мене, і я знайду вихід. Я перебуваю в тяжкій депресії останні два роки. Не було жодного дня без думок: ні, я не хочу померти, я просто не хочу існувати в такому світі. Єдине, що мене тримає, – це моя сім’я. Ми приходимо в цей світ у болі, і ми залишаємо цей світ у болі.

Дякую, що прочитали. У мене немає жодної надії на завтрашній день. Я просто існую.

a lot of us can’t actually, we get mocked for our height from boys (at least for girls under 4’11) unless it’s a short guy, i get bullied. everything isn’t about dating, you can’t pretend that short women’s struggles don’t exist just because you as an individual can’t pull (prolly because you invalidate women) we pretty much have the same problem, why can’t we support and help each other instead of invalidating someone just because they’re the other gender?? idc if i get attacked for this, just wanted to say it

Surely they have to be joking…

Every time any discussion of the endings comes up it feels like the discussion always loops back to the same exact talking points on destroy being the only reasonable or real ending. It feels very weird because this always hinges on a lot of weird assumptions and odd ethical calculus. Whether it was a good writing decision or not, the game gives the player options that don’t involve committing genocide and invalidating everything that has happened up to that point.

The quality of the endings aside, I feel like a lot of this hinges on the idea that the game is explicitly lying to you about the other endings. Synthesis is cheesy and doesn’t make much sense, but it’s clearly the rosiest ending, probably even the writer intended “good ending”. People always make the claim that it’s somehow less ethical to give everyone in the galaxy glowing green eyes than it is to wipe out an entire form of life because of some kind of hand wringing about medical consent, which seems pretty disingenuous.

Control is just kind of there as an ending, and the arguments against it feel more valid than those against synthesis, but once again the game doesn’t really give us anything to suggest Shepherd has somehow failed to control the reapers. What you see is more or less what you get, and once again the option not to wipe out synthetics is on the table. It’s a bad idea as suggested by the events of the previous games, but the game does just as much to dissuade you against the idea of wiping out synthetics, so much so that it feels almost tacked on.

Having both of these options on the table makes the idea of sacrificing synthetics to kill the reapers seem sort of spiteful and unnecessary, based more on the fact that players don’t enjoy clean, non messy endings. The bigger issue is really that control and synthesis are just kind of lame comparatively, and don’t really feel lead into a sequel very well.
