Last call for Beer Store? Tories may open corner store sales
  • I agree it’s ridiculous that we still have this private monopoly running. IRRC the contract is coming up for renewal and they’ve already tried to get rid of it before but it would have resulted in billions in penalties. I hope they do get rid of the beer store, but fuck the cons.

  • Tinder Launches $499 USD-Per-Month "Tinder Select" Membership
  • I’m back on the dating scene in my early 30’s and I try to be hostile to their algorithm by force quitting and leaving the app closed which seems to trigger it to try and be more engaging.

    I also tried gold only to have my filters just not work. Why would I be interested in matching someone 6000km away or someone with kids even though I’ve tried filtering them out? Ask Tinder I guess. Why would I pay for a service that doesn’t even work. Now that I’m not paying the “likes” seem to roll in even though I frequently run out of users for my area.

  • "They don’t care": Inside the triumphs and failures of accessible gaming hardware
  • I believe the CEOs son has some special needs and he’s been big on pushing them to develop inputs methods that are accessible. It’s definitely getting better! As a gamer who’s been playing since they were a kid and now in my 30’s I’m starting to get RSI like issues and definitely appreciate some of these accessibility movements because they allow me to change up my input more often.

  • ​Canada likely sitting on the largest housing bubble of all time: Strategist - BNN Bloomberg
  • That’s ridiculous. I do put money away. The problem is that the size of downpayment needed is growing way faster than I could hope to save. How often do these adverse affects actually happen? Once or twice? You can also DIY.

    Other things you can reliably budget for, new roof is every 20 years, maybe new appliances every 10 years. General upkeep? Renters do that already but you can DIY and you have a say in what happens.

    Your argument is basically if you can’t save for a home while already paying for a home you can’t afford a home.

  • Debt among Canadian millennials at record levels, while earnings haven’t kept up: RBC report
  • That’s me. I don’t have a mortgage, and don’t have a down payment so instead I just pay my landlords mortgage and then some. The best part is I can get personal use evicted at any point and instead of actually gaining equity I get nothing but another 30 day extension of having a roof. And at this rate that looks like it’ll be forever. If my landlord decides to kick me out I’ll likely have to leave the city and therefor my job.

  • Basically anything short of we’re going to expropriate land and build massive amounts of rgi’s and cooperatives will fix it on the supply side of the equation.

    We need to tackle the problem at the source and that’s housing being used as an investment vehicle by wealthy people and corporations as a means of wealth extraction from the working class. It’s completely choking the economy.
