Smarties have no flavour and putting them in a McFlurry is a waste of ice cream. Come at me!

2019 GREY CUP CHAMPIONS!!!
No, no, this isn't. This is the fallout of a govt that lacked ideas and lacked leadership at the end. They were so desperate to get a stadium built, they did it without a plan and without analysis. They got it built, thankfully, but left a huge mess. I lived it. It was a shitshow.

2019 GREY CUP CHAMPIONS!!!
Could be. But, this situation has been brewing for many years and this was the only logical outcome. I think we were headed there anyway but since the gov't is bleeding money, now's not a bad time to solve an ongoing problem and bury it among other news.

2019 GREY CUP CHAMPIONS!!!
This is great news. I can't say it enough but the original agreement with Triple B and the UofM, the City and the Prov was a MESS. Absolutely, a mess. There was ZERO discussion of ongoing maintenance and repairs. The Province was the only one on the hook but there were no funds put aside. If the City agrees and they have no obligation to do so, this will be a big step forward. $10 million will not be enough to maintain the facility. Even in the first few years, there were many upgrades (mostly from deficiencies in the design and construction) that needed to be addressed.

Always projecting. "Taking away our rights!" meanwhile, trying to make it impossible for minorities to vote.

Modeling is FINALLY coming out.- US Politics
Yeah, I feel like that is coming too. It seems as though (not scientifically supported) that the more stable our food, water and healthcare supplies are, the more people seem to be willing to accept others for who they are. It's all incremental steps forward, then these giant leaps back.- US Politics
I wonder if we revert back because we're easily influenced by smooth talking, shiny objects or are we truly just horrible beings? We are, by all measures, so close to providing everyone in this world with access to food, water and healthcare, the essentials for life, yet we choose to go backwards with a selfish, me first, mentality.- Random Jets News
This is how he looked but with a yellow jersey and a helmet. Sorry, long night and not much sleep.- US Politics
Me too. But, we're only 5 months out from possibly the worst collection of red button pushers ever? Biden is more stable than Trump but I don't trust him either.- Covid-19
.2 after holding steady for a couple of days. I'm hoping that means that we've seen the peak of TPR. But, I certainly won't be surprised if we don't. I was at Costco last night, getting bulk Covid, and it was so pleasant inside with only 10% capacity. I didn't feel encroached upon at all. Whereas, last Thursday, the other shoppers were so close that I almost became family with them.- US Politics
Do you trust any of the nuclear bros leaders? Biden, Putin, Johnson, Netanyahu, Modi, Macron, Aivi, Jinping, Jong-un?- US Politics
Trump, Putin, Johnson... the list goes on.- Covid-19
TPR dropped in Winnipeg from 14.4% to 14.2%. That's a good sign. Let's hope we've peaked. The ICU is going to be a disaster for some time, though.- Covid-19
12+ can book right now in Manitoba. Curious how far out they're making appointments at the supersites?- US Politics
Trump has been indicted many, many times. He's a pro at it. Getting indicted does not mean he's going to prison but saying that he's going to be indicted shouldn't be dismissed. People equating an indictment with a conviction are probably trying to sell you something.- US Politics
Deeper and deeper they fall. It's a Banana Republic, completely irredeemable.- US Politics
You already have to outvote the GOP by some margin to win an election. Gerrymandering and racist voter laws being implemented will continue to make things worse.- The Music Thread

I'm stick only to defending her on this point and this point alone. Pretending that the election was stolen is absolutely mindboggling stupid but, considering MAGA, it's on brand. - Covid-19
