for those curious it's $174,000 per annum for members of the House and Senate. according to rentcafe and numbeo the average price for an apartment just under 800 sq ft a month is about $2500. Other cost of living expenses are on par with other major cities.

They're fine. This doesn't include other benefits and kick backs and what have you which I imagine they all get plenty of.

OR they could grow a spine and actually back up the shit they claim to advocate for. You can simply geoblock that area/state/country and state to your users there that you value free speech and you won't bend the whims of a authoritarian government. Let the people who are now being denied a service complain and get it changed. Other companies have done this most recently Imgur.

For a company to immediately bend the knee and institute ID checks doesn't fly right with me. They're stating that they are more than willing to change their policies at the whim of whatever government body. Also they are more than happy to start collecting MORE data on users to then do god knows what with. How do I know Bluesky isn't going to sell said data they've obtained? how do I know how secure my ID is with them? And I do have to question their motivations when they consistently, immediately, agree to collect data on their users this way. Bluesky is essentially still a start up and they need funding, what better way to get more cash flowing in then harvesting their users data?

I wouldn't trust Bluesky as far as I could throw them.

well sure, it'll be worse. Not like EA has had a glorious track record or produced original and innovative/good games in the past god knows how many years. They'll just transition purely to the Madden and Battlefield company with some Sims sprinkled in every now and again. that's it. Mass Effect is pretty much going to be done and dusted. fat chance we'll ever see another Titanfall. And I bet they'll buy the license for WWE from 2k or just offer WWE/TKO more money. With how closely the Saudi's are now with WWE and the fact EA already has the UFC...yeah makes sense.

in high school I dated a Mormon girl and it was so bizarre. she only ever showed ONE emotion, happiness. that's it, and even then you could tell it was genuine. Like I remember she absolutely bombed an exam and it was clear she was upset about it to point she wanted to cry but she couldn't. she refused or simply didn't know how to show that emotion.

Also yeah she drank like a fish when her Mormon friends weren't around.

she has 4 kids of her own and the husband was in on it or at least knew it was happening and told the boys to keep quiet about it.

I grew up in Cambridge Ontario, we had community mailboxes there since the 80s. It wasn't until I moved to Toronto in my 20s that I discovered Canada Post does door to door mail delivery.

I mean there was no need to notify anyone. you just checked the mailbox every day. If you had a package there was a key in your regular mailbox that would open the larger boxes at the bottom. then you'd just throw the key in the mailslot at the top of the community mailbox.

I always assumed this was a thing.

loose cigarettes that come in a big ziplock bag that resembles a loaf of bread. Some people keep them in their freezer so as to "stay fresh".

My guy you and your brother have been on that list plenty of times. You can barely walk, your brother is in and out of rehab more often than I change my underpants, and you utilize your wife just as often to keep yourselves relevant. You both have been doing this longer than you should be doing this, hell you were doing it before the Attitude Era even existed. you had two decent gimmicks and at one point a decent tag run. And the ONLY reason you yourself had a couple decent singles runs is because your brother was drugged out of his gourd. IF he had been clean you'd be the Marty Jannety of this situation. Just stop.

well it's the price duh. I'd even go as far as to say that in Toronto the majority of smokers are now smoking native smokes as opposed to "legal" cigarettes.

a pack of Belmonts small king in many places will run you just over $20 a pack. $20! why pay that when you can just drive to the nearest rez and buy a loaf of cigarettes for practically the same price. Or hell, now, they'll come to you with cartons/loafs. Guy I know does beer delivery that isn't via the LCBO/Beer Store and they also sell these cigarettes. you just go online, put in your order for beer and smokes, and like an hour or two later they're at your door with your stuff. he's making a killing. especially on holidays when the LCBO shuts down.

Scud the Disposable Assassin and La Cosa Nostroid by Rob Schrab and Dan Harmon.

I mean Dan has already played around with concepts from Scud and LCN in Rick and Morty as well as Community but I would absolutely love if he teamed up with Rob again to do a Scud series that would naturally tie into La Cosa Nostroid.

At the very least I'd just be happy if Dan would finish La Cosa Nostroid like Rob finished Scud after a 20+ year hiatus.
