I'm carved from stone at this point, and I will continue to finish more books and my online business willl rise again out of the ashes of the last 4-5 years. Whatever you say will only make me stronger.

It's all good man, I'll let you get off calling me plebian.

I kind of feel sorry for you, to be honest.

It sounds like your life sucks right now. You've lost it all, and you live in this dream world you've created of conspiracy theories and aggrandizing phony self success, a past of yourself that you've concocted that never really was.

You're like that old athlete that can't retire, hoping to relive some greatness they were never able to achieve.

When the Carney agenda swings into full effect... just watch. Shit is going to get bonkers.

I'm going to play as nice as possible on WokeSc... RevScene so when the shit hits the fan, I can have a smug smile and "told ya so!" in a couple years.

Maybe sooner. If you have an expensive lifestyle now, I suggest you get a cheaper vehicle that you can maintain youself, a diet that is healthy and not very expensive, living arrangements that are comfortable but not extravagent, and you better get yourself a ride-or-die bitch who isn't an anchor on your life.

If you thought COVID was crazy, the road to 2030, IMO, is going to get rocky to say the least. We are in the eye of the hurricane.

If I'm wrong, I will gladly let RevScene piss on my face and I will laugh in the golden shower. Fingers crossed, who knows, maybe Carney loves the average Canadian and we're about to go through a golden age of lower prices, amazing parties, booming culture, and economic expansion?

Shit sucks for sure, but for 15+ years I got to taste a lifestyle that 0.01% of the population, if that, gets to experience. Still, I'm only 46, and things like the AI are brand new, and I'm working with it every day.

Who knows what life will be like in 5 years?
Who knows what life will be like in just 1 year?

I'm still excited for the future, still up for the challenge. Are you?

Maybe this summer we might meet up at a fried chicken RS meet and have a laugh. I just need to get my turbo 5 speed convertible fixed up, sell my shit, and get back to Vancouver. This, of course, depends on whether or not my baby momma moves back to Kelowna or wherever she plans on landing when either the USA kicks her out or she finds some sucker to marry in the USA for citizenship.

[mikemhg]

Can I be the first one to take that piss on you?

The funny thing is you're not wrong in some of your assessments in a number of your opinions, we probably agree on quite a few things, you just have a shit way of conveying it.

[westopher]

The government doesn't have the option of making things cheaper. Unless they have the balls to cap CEO pay and bonuses, limit corporate profits and stock buybacks and force companies to give their workers pay proportionate to profits or pay the windfalls in taxes. It doesn't matter who's in office, that isn't happening. Corporate and lobbying power needed to be reeled in decades ago before it got this far.
I won't vote based on fiscal policy anymore because none of it means anything. Corporate overlords dictate that, so all we can hope for is decent social policy and programs necessary for a decent life like healthcare and education.

Nah, you just have wokie shit in your ears for years, and you haven't heard a fresh breath of logic for ages.

Deep down, you hate to admit it, but you know I'm right. By 2030, old farts like you and I will look back at the 00's and think:

"HOLY FUCK SHIT USED TO BE AMAZING FUCK!!!!"

And the Canucks will still suck and a ticket in the nosebleeds will be $300.

Frankly, if you met me, or knew me, you wouldn't think I'm woke.

Far from it

Everyone is woke to some degree. It is the language of the land. We're all socially agile to a degree. If you're not, you're either extremely rich, or living under a bridge.

Trust me, I'm very close to living under a bridge and I just went 48 hours with no food, and before that, 3 days with very little to eat. You've heard of an incel, right? Well, I'm like an infast, involuntary fasting.

About to get paid tonight or tomorrow, so I'll have money to survive again. Need to get 2 out of the 3 vehicles I own sold so I can fix my turbo convertible and, maybe, move back to Vancouver!

Right about what at this point. I don't even know what you're getting at.
I agree the 2000s were better than now, but it's probably due in part to not having any responsibilities other than doing blow and going to shows.
I hope the Canucks still suck.

[mikemhg]

The Canucks will suck until all of us are dead.

Might not see these fuckers win a cup in our lifetimes.

I came here to read about politics, not deepen my depression about the Canucks

I spent my 20s and 30s like a pig in gilded shit, like a coke-fueled rockstar without the talent, like a fever dream of porn dollars and bad decisions, living like a fucking rap video, the kind where the hangovers last decades, like living the feeling of always having a lost wallet, or not knowing where your house keys are. After losing my mom to suicide, then making so much porn money and getting a Supra T78 Turbo at like 22 or 23, showered with attention and bitches like never before, it was fucking on for 15 years of sheer stupidity.

Then, the moment I held my daughter for the first time, her eyes wide, her hands impossibly small, gripping the shitty mouse-calloused finger of a man who had never gripped anything that delicate before. I knew, right then, that I had spent half my life chasing the wrong things, confusing myself, thinking that running away from pain was the antidote to fear. Mistaking the void for a friend, and indulging in a fucking buffet of drugs, bitches, parties... and, ultimately, suffering. But why? What is life even about?

And then I thought about my mother. The woman who spent her weekends driving my sorry, lazy 14 year old ass around, dropping off food to old fuckers I never gave a shit about. Sitting there in their dusty little apartments with their milky eyes and their brittle fingers wrapped around Styrofoam containers of whatever kindness looks like in edible form. Dropping off those bulk green containers, admittedly, those meals were fucking tasty. Sometimes, like 1/3, they did a full Christmas dinner style lunch at 11 AM, mashed potatos, gravy, turkey, cranberry, mixed peas and carrots, a piece of cornbread. I loved it when there were leftovers, which was more often than not. I saw how my mother dealt with those old fucks. She smiled at them. Cared about them. Cared about people she didn’t have to care about. It took me years to realize how rare that is. How fucking precious. Because when you’re a teenager, the only thing bigger than your ego is your ignorance. And I was no different. I wasn't any different until I pulled the plug on my porn business and threw myself with reckless abandon into poverty. Only by not giving a fuck, did I learn to give a fuck.

And now here I am. A man in his 40s who spent years breathing in the rot of Gastown, riding the shit-stained edge of the DTES, watching the city I once knew as a place strangers truly cared about each other, dissolve into a slow-motion apocalypse of drug zombies that were once human. Who knows, maybe even once they had a RS or IC account. And it’s worse now. Worse than I ever could have imagined. The kind of worse that doesn’t just happen overnight, but rots like a corpse in the sun stuffed with a rotten salmon full of beer and cabbage farts, a little more decay every day until the maggots pour out of a green and brown wound. You walk down Hastings and Main and you see it, shitty human suffering in its most distilled, purest form. The kind you can't look away from unless your soul is already gone, or simply numbed by your wealth and your easy life. The people in charge? They let this shit happen, they probably profit from it! They took a city carved between mountains and sea, an emerald full of anti-nuclear weapon hippies who gave nice speeches at Edith Cavell when I was in grade 7, a city with no excuse for ruin, and they turned it into a meat grinder where wealth meets meat and produces a Slaaneshian dream of exploitation and pleasure.

And the mainstream media? Fuck them. Fuck CTV, fuck Global, fuck CBC. They take a billion-dollar check (600+ million if I'm wrong in 2018) and do a song and dance, but the real news, the real fucking horror show, you gotta get that from some former cokehead on WokeScene who can't even feed himself, running through the HTTP warzone like a 'tard in his tighty whities dodging bullets of poverty. Because the real truth is dangerous. The real truth gets you fucking banned, gets you called crazy, gets you stomped on your balls by the invisible boot of people who pretend they're wearing a silk slipper.

I know I don’t fit in. Fuck I was already banned here and I didn't even do a threat, or any hate speech, or nothin' that bad! I don’t dress my age. I don’t act my age. I don’t live my age. But why the fuck would I want to? To trade honesty for comfort? To pull a sheet over my head and pretend the monsters aren’t real? This world we're in right now, is not the warm fuzzy world I grew up in as a kid. This cold, hungry, dagger-tooth grinning world, wants you numb and watching hockey and listening to Trudeau speak his absolute bullshit. It wants you perfectly sedated. And hey, if you're rich, why should you care? The world wants you obedient, take that COVID vaccine, don't ask questions.

If you wake up, if you say, “Wait a minute, I have a few questions,” they’ll throw you in the pile with the rest of us fucking losers. Call you crazy. Call you stupid. Call you mentally ill. And then they march on with their incredible wealth and social status the system provides for them.

Walk over the bodies.
Build the towers higher.
Sleep like babies in silk sheets.
While your fellow Canadians rot in the streets below.

FWIW mRNA tech isn't even new, the development on that started in like 1989.

[Dbone]

Fair enough, but this was the first major roll out as far as I know.

I am very excited to see where mRNA goes when it comes to personalized vaccines. I was reading about how they can take a biopsy, sequence it, and then give you a 'vaccine' that attacks skin cancer cells! This shit could stop all kinds of cancer.

Also, in the nearer future it could be used for malaria which would be amazing!

Sorry off topic, but mRNA is awesome.

Just ask yourself, if a paid corporate researcher found a cure for cancer that would cost a penny, do you think it would be released to the public?

Have you not seen how much money Ozempic has made?

Fat fuc... festively plump individuals end up with all sorts of medical issues plus it makes them more likely to get hit harder by things like covid. Craving for fast food and drugs and booze go way down..and yet, Ozempic and similar are all over the place now.

Ozempic isn’t weight loss; it’s a controlled demolition. They sold you a chemical leash, a $1,000-a-month toll to exist in a body that still betrays you. You trade hunger for nausea, fat for frailty, and they call it progress while Novo Nordisk counts their billions. The sagging skin, the rotting teeth, the muscle wasting.

The cost of doing business-you are the product.

You aren’t being cured; you’re being repackaged, rebranded, and resold to yourself in smaller, weaker installments. Instead of a new gender, you're a new body size. What about when you stop paying? The hunger returns, onlyfangs bared, waiting to swallow McDonald's again... but your freedom from being a fat fuck is traded at the point of a corporate profit needle. Who is lyin' to who here? The consumer, or the seller?
