  • I sincerely wish I could drop loblaws entirely.

    The problem is, between them and sobey’s (who are proving to be just as evil, recently doing things like covering ‘made in us’ labels, union busting after they bought Safeway, etc) there aren’t any other places to shop.

    In my town, there is 1 loblaws store, 2 gas station corner stores and 2 independent corner stores - guess which is the only one that carries meat and produce?

    In the next town over, there are 2 loblaws, 1 sobeys, 4 gas station corner stores, and 4 specialty shops - again, guess where I have to go for produce, or a wider selection of meat cuts/types?

    If I want to buy from stores that aren’t loblaws or sobeys, I have to drive 4 hours to my closest Costco (which i do every 4 months, because Costco is so much cheaper than local it pays for my gas easily), and even then the only other not loblaws/sobeys option in that town is fucking walmart.

    What Canada needs isn’t a better loblaws boycott, it needs a government willing to put in place and enforce checks and balances on the duopolies Canada has in every sector - and stop letting foreign investors own all of our assets and funnel the profits out of country while we’re at.








  • Its funny how Debian is rock solid on its own, but there are several distros that claim to be based on Debian, but significantly better (without actually being better for even the most inexperienced users).

    Which is the exact opposite of Arch, where there are several distros that make it actually usable for the average person (EOS user BTW).

    Not low grade, its straight up actual torture.

    Solitary confinement (which he has been put in unprompted multiple times) can make a person go insane, sleeping on a concrete floor with a back that had to be reconstructed can and will cause irreversible damage.

    Just because it isn’t visible damage, does not make it a lesser form of torture.
