@MadelnCanada Tipping is generally calculated on the total bill not the pre-tax bill so you can be paying a tip on the tax. That’s why I always calculate a manual tip. Also, isn’t 15% (3x GST) enough?

Do you think tipping culture in Canada is becoming out of reach? 🤔🇨🇦

@BernieSanders Looks like this started way before Trump. democracynow.org/2018/10/24/who…

Corporations have raked in over $22 billion from Trump’s mass deportation machine, including:
Amazon $75M
Palantir $81M
Microsoft $93M
Deloitte $100M
CSI Aviation $1.2B
Companies should NOT be profiting from terrorizing our communities. Enough is enough.

@TaraBull Cancel Christmas. Fuck it. You’re not talking about the true reason for the season (Christian celebration of the birth of Christ) so just go on with your life and do the bigger Christmas thing with your bestie, Mom and Dad and don’t do anything for those selfish fuckers.

@overton_news @elonmusk I’ve also heard the reason for lower mortality is because a lot of addicts have already died!

Joe Rogan just said the quiet part out loud about Trump’s war on drugs and it completely shatters the media’s narrative.
Overdose deaths are COLLAPSING nationwide and Rogan says it’s not an accident.
“They’re blowing up these f*cking boats that are bringing in all the drugs!”
ROGAN: “From the time Trump’s been in office, deaths by overdose have dropped off a cliff.”
[Pulls up a chart]
“Look at that! Look at 2024…and leading into 2025.”
“These are all deaths from overdoses…I mean that’s kind of crazy.”
“Look at that drop!”
“Between 2023 and 2024, that’s the peak where people are dying. And then from the time Trump’s in office, it’s taking a F*CKING SHARP down turn!”
“And why is that? Well, part of it is because they’re blowing up these f*cking boats that are bringing in all the drugs!”

Banning sharia is nice window dressing but it won't solve the problem in the long run. This could only be solved by recognizing and internalizing the following message: Demography is destiny. Think wisely for the sake of our civilization.
Wall Street Apes@WallStreetApes
Federally Ban Sharia Law in all 50 states. Do it today “When my mom threatened to kill me, it wasn't because I'd left Islam. It was because I took off my hijab. I was still identifying as a Muslim in those days. I just didn't wanna wear this anymore. It'd been put on me at 9 years old, I hated it since it was put on me, and I'm an adult now and I wanna take it off” “And for that reason, I am not her daughter anymore, shouldn't go to her funeral, I'm just a whore. She was gonna have me killed because she needed to make sure that I was killed before I moved onto the next step, which she saw was going to be leaving Islam. And at the point, at that time in my life, I was like, "What? What do you mean? Of course I'm not gonna leave Islam." But she's like, "I need to make sure you're killed before you leave Islam because then I'm gonna have an infidel daughter and I'm the one who's gonna be punished in eternity for that, so I need to make sure that you're killed before that happens." “Make no mistake, whether it's hijab or niqab, both of them are misogynist. Both of them are, to a degree, obviously there's a very big difference between wearing hijab and wearing niqab, but both of them stem from that same place of victim blaming. You need to cover yourself lest these men around you get aroused and end up raping you and it's because you were showing skin. And so you'll see even little girls being put in hijab. Like, toddlers. They got a diaper and a hijab on, so I guess the men are telling on themselves, saying, "Oh, we need this little girl to cover herself up." That's where it stems from. So the misogyny of it, the victim blaming, the supporting of rape culture essentially with, around hijab is evil. It's absolutely evil.”

When we dump nuance in a search for purity and simplicity, we build ourselves prisons of language. And we can’t escape as a society. Families fall apart. Our rivals gain ground. And we waste our lives arguing.
A srmple example.
“Cancellation” is *not* “Shunning”
“Cancellation” is “FRIVOLOUS Shunning”
Shunning is essential to a decent society. I’m not sure how you have a good world without it.
But “Cancelation” was imposing a felony social cost for a minor or even imagined infraction.
So now we are having traumatized conversations about how bad any shunning is whatsoever, all because we now mistakenly call all shunning “Cancellation”. All because we lost nuance. And thus the ability to think.
Similar losses of nuance for:
“Experts”
“Gatekeeping”
“Science”
“Platforming”
“Shitposting”
“Mockery”
“Refugees”
“Muslims”
“Immigration”
“Liberal”
“Fascism”
“Ethnic Cleansing”
“Free Speech”
“Capitalism”
We are now mostly just barking at each other. Look at any cancellation argument through the above lens. You’ll see it immediately, at least if you are open to it.
At some point we have to realize that without nuance, our daily idiocy will go on ad infinitum. There will be no resolution of anything. Ever.
It’s a prison of language problem. And i’m up for a jailbreak.
This daily repetition is just too stupid a use for our marvelous one chance at a life.
One man’s opinion.
🙏

@WallStreetApes I’m a Canadian currently traveling in the US and I can’t believe how expensive it is here. Usually everything is cheaper than in Canada.
However, I have seen two of these videos posted by women with fake eyelashes and fake nails. Maybe their lifestyle is too expensive. Get real!
English
Americans cannot afford the cost of living in America, this has to change
“I have three jobs and I'm still struggling,” one is a full time job and 2 are part time jobs
“The solution is not to get a fourth job. There's something wrong with this something has got to give to where we live in a world where people can work multiple jobs and they're still struggling”
“The solution isn't you need another job or you're just lazy and you don't want to work. We're working multiple jobs.
What more do we have to do in order to live comfortably in this world? I think it's ridiculous.”

Hey Americans. Canadians would rather have our limbs torn off, maggots eat our eyes, swallow hot glass shards in acid, every bone crushed with a hammer, and be fed live to starved pigs than have anything to do with you.

@WallStreetApes I’m Alberta, we have recycled forever. So few cans and bottles go to the landfill because of it. And if you return your bottles to the depot, you get your money back. It’s a no brainer!

Washington State Democrats are preparing a whole new list of taxes for residents
- New 10 cent deposit on all cans and bottles of soda
- Hiking, hunting and fishing license rate increases
- Sporting events and music concerts will have a new fee
- Discover Pass that you need to get into state parks. It would increase from $30 to $45 bucks a year
- Nicotine pouches will be taxes like regular cigarettes
- Liquor permit costs for banquets and weddings
- 6 cent increase gas tax
- Higher ferry rates for traveling on the water
- New tax on gun purchases

@WallStreetApes Im in Michigan and the 10 cent deposit isnt a tax. We value those cans and bottles and they get recycled. Whole playgrounds are built on the backs of collecting cans. It works. All the other shit I agree with :-)

@Satterda99 @g_lamarche @GadSaad @sydney_sweeney Insulting! This women is not a feminist. She’s an idiot. Feminism wants equality and freedom for all people in a world where no one is the same and we are animals in the true bio sense of the word.
English

This is going to hurt and offend, so trigger warning: Most women including those who are accomplished professionals are much more likely to be triggered by bouts of orgiastic jealousy if @sydney_sweeney were to walk into a room than they would be if say another woman with superior status or career walked in. There is this little thing called biology that has shaped our emotional systems including that which shapes our intra-sexual competition. Back in 2005, I had worked on a project with one of my former doctoral students wherein we explored the sex-specific triggers of envy. The results are clear. Hopefully, I'll get around to publishing the findings one day. Sweeney is hated because she is a nightmare to other women.

@GadSaad By the same logic: what did the Africans do to get kidnapped and thrown into slavery? They must have been messing with the wrong people.
Holy fuckin ignorant.
