Detect the point where this post, from a dude with PreCure avatar (an hyper capitalist magical girl franchise aimed to little girls and perverts) goes off the rails:

You're not wrong about investment, but investment is also a huge problem with Canadians as well. Likely more an issue. It's the only thing we can invest in to retire unless you're rich. The entire Canadian economy is floating on housing investment, so it's a bit nationalistic to speak like this. Houses are vacant because they _need_ to be expensive in order for Canadians to retire. The prices of housing are not just high because of immigration and foreign investment. Houses are not just vacant because of foreign investment. Those are sources of those things, but it's a systemic problem that every single person who flips houses, owns air bnbs, etc.
This post has good intent but smells like the type of nationalism conservatives want to fester in us. Yes, we need to reduce immigration, yes we need to limit foreign investment in housing, but we need to also understand that doing so will not fix our problem, and isn't the soul reason we're in the problem in the first place. Long before the immigration boon this was a problem. It's just more of a problem now because of late stage capitalism. So until we abolish it, it won't get better. As long as we bow to capitalism, these will continue to be a problem. Capitalism cannot fix it, and will not fix it.
Politicians, both "liberal" and conservative alike are trying to sell us that they'll fix this by stopping immigration, defunding social services, getting rid of a tiny tax, or whatever.
Bottom line, none of that will do anything, and we're in this for the long run.

Houses are expensive because people, primarily Canadians, are greedy.
Houses are expensive because investors use them to turn a profit, and not to provide a human right.
Food is expensive because corporations are greedy and drive profit for stake holders and not a service to the community.
Houses are scarce because that drives value, developers are not incentive to build the right density and type, due to Canadians not wanting it, and governments of all flocks not supporting it.
Immigration is high, not because we want to be diverse and bring in different perspectives, it's high because we want cheap labor and we have a huge amount of jobs no Canadians can afford to live on doing.
Everything is completely fucked here, and no one I know really seems to get it. People just think it'll blow over, or that Trudeau somehow is the reason we're in this mess and if he's gone, it'll suddenly get better.

Sigh.

With you being the unofficial ambassador of everything MCU, is that a compliment to Civil War then?

If we're talking about the good Civil War that released in 2016, sure.

Does anyone agree with ZeoVGM.  I mean, maybe they do, in the sense as they have the same thought but do people ever back him up?  He's just a known MCU fanboy that handle any movie more complex than Good man punch the Bad man.

Trudeau could have changed the election system. He promised he would. He could have permanently made Canada a better place, curbed right-wing extremism in the country by preventing split votes.

But that would likely have resulted in him, personally, losing a bit of power. So he changed his mind.

Now I get to worry about whether or not trans people will be legally allowed to pee in a public washroom after the next election.

S'fun.

Wait… what?

i believe the libs and trudeau ran on implementing ranked choice voting, which never ended up happening and was never even attempted

We have the dumb Westminster system where you can have complete control of the country with about 33-35% of the popular vote. In 2015, one of Trudeau's promises was to change it to a proportional system. He got elected, and having greatly benefit from the dumb system, changed its mind and kept it.
Now it's the Conservatives' turn to benefit from it. They're gonna get a 1980 Reagan map with about 40-45% of the vote, and obviously, will ban trans from washrooms because federal jurisdiction over washrooms is enshrined in the Constitution Act of 1867.

The disappointing thing about Persona is that the franchise could be so cool if it wasn't handled by people who aren't far removed by having the world views of a 13 year old.

Hence why we keep getting the staple penis monsters, teachers sleeping with their students, much older women sleeping with minor men, women being treated as sex objects with no self-awareness right after their own characters lambasted another for doing just that in story...

The whole thing is so disappointing because everytime there's slight progress, it's like 10 steps back.

I think it’s more this weird trans obsession with “my character has to match my gender identity!” that goes on that site. Plenty of girl gamers I know don’t care about the gender of the character, similarly I don’t think many guy gamers do either.

Bumping a month old e begging thread for the holidays

Getting into a begging cycle is one is the worst things a trans person can do because it perpetuates a victim mentality.

I used to do similar things but realised that one day it was just leading to more misery and self-loathing.

Even though I'm disabled, I dedicated myself to finding a job that suited my abilities and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. My relationships with my parents (who I live with) improved, I paid off my debts, I could buy and enjoy videogames without the guilt and many other positive effects ensued.

There are resources or there that can help you, but you really need to be willing to commit.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/give-your-money-to-trans-folk.1041657/page-2#post-133086291

This person is going to get permed for daring to suggest trying to improve your own life but they’re absolutely right. Life sucks to varying degrees for everyone and I assume that’s even more true for trans/disabled/whatever else people but you can’t just be a fucking loser your entire life and hope strangers on the internet are going to fix everything. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and try to make the best of what you have.

I know you don't need to hear it again but it's time. Time to improve your life and financial situation. Even without skills you can try apprenticeship or check out a job fair. Things like that. It's time for you to stop scrapping by and hoping things can stay the same when you know it won't.

A job fair isn't going to help me when I only have access to my car after 4pm and the landlord is either going to kick me out or double my rent in a month. My life hasn't changed out of a lack of desire for change. I get my car back at 4pm and I go to work, what else should I do? The amount of extra money I need isn't going to come from jumping to a different dead end retail job and what else is going to take someone in my situation right now? And that's assuming I even get the year the neighbors got and he's not kicking us out sooner.

Still making excuses to not improve their situation.

What else is stopping you from getting a better job than the car? What other variables can we move around to make this work? Because the status quo may not keep working.

Thank you for your kind words. As for what's stopping me from getting a better job, right now the main thing is the car. I don't have access to it until 4pm. But beyond that (and why I've been stuck here even before the car situation) is that I could never find anything better I'm qualified for. I'm not strong or very physically capable, so manual labor is difficult. I'm not opposed to it but I have a hard enough time just standing on my feet for 6 too 8 hours. And anything better, anything with good pay that isn't intense manual labor, required school I couldn't afford or skills I never gained. Like of course I'd love to have a nice office job but the people actually qualified for those can't even hold onto them these days. And there's never anything good around me anyway. I'm always looking through those websites, Indeed or whatever, and I never find anything.

Never gonna get those skills wasting money in video games.

He's giving us the one year, alongside a $150 rent increase.
He didn't want to. He originally said six months but we got him to agree to a year.
Nothing I said made too much of a dent though. I again said that this has been my home for most of my life and I want to work with him to find some way we can stay but he wasn't having it. He wants us gone so he can renovate and retire.
I'm very depressed and hopeless but at least he gave us the year he gave the neighbors.

Assuming you aren't bullshitting, you got a year. Either waste time playing video games and farming sympathy on ERA or nut up, act like an adult, and do what needs to be done to avoid homelessness. Also, look at how they tried to manipulate the landlord. He gave you 20 years to get your shit together and you wasted it. Not his fault he had had enough and want to use his property to make money to retire on.

I'm not joining the military.

Not sure what is meant about apprenticeships, like non-paid training? I don't really have the time for that. I can't stop working at my job unless it's immediately to a better paying one. I may make less money than my family member but without my input we stop making enough to pay for anything immediately. I'm open to suggestions on how to find better jobs though, for sure. I've been working at the same retail job for ten years so it's not a skill I have either. I've been looking on and off for the past few years but especially moreso this past one and I just don't see anything.

As for the car, I get why some would think dropping them off at work would be reasonable since those exact details are missing. But unfortunately it isn't. Their job involves driving, they basically work out of the car and travel all day. That's part of the reason why we always have mechanic bills, the cars get driven into the ground. And they end up spending a good chunk of their paycheck on gas and tolls too, so they really make less than it even seems (and it already seems poor compared to the average). And sadly the flip side of me being dropped off somewhere doesn't really work either because they leave very early in the morning, before anything else would be open. Plus "oh you have no real qualifications AND you'd have to be dropped off" would turn away any job that'd be a significant upgrade.

There IS the possibility of remote work and I've definitely tried finding one but they all seem either taken or require tech degrees or something.

Just more litany of excuses to not even try. They sound exactly like what you'd expect: someone who wants all the answers to fall into their lap with little to no effort on their part.

Just these weirdos are obsessed with it and forcing their ideas into artwork that isn’t interested in it.

Being fair, before the big trans explosion, there were female fans with similar attitudes about media (famously people like Anita Sarkissian). But if I learned something this past decade is that they are the minority of the minority, they are like Morrigan and Dice of being loud and assholish. 

Right now most vocal people still complaining about it are mostly Transwomen, female fans like Morrigan and Dice are the remnants of that time.
