34,000 jobs lost over 25 years doesn’t sound like a big deal if the province helps people retrain in to the growing green energy sectors.

I bet half of the people occupying those jobs now will be dead by then anyway.

Weird, same.

I’ve got a Logitech mouse for my desktop but use the magic on my laptop. Ive got the old one with the swappable double AAs though.

What are your favourite blogs?

Enh, it takes like 20 minutes to charge and lasts months. Go walk for 20 every 2 months and you’re good.

Were they first? I can remember the battle.net launcher way before I ever heard of Steam.

Shoulda gone with something like this

I feel like that was more a failure of shoe-horning in a reference to the original Star Trek II rather than a casting failure.

Take out the Kahn stuff and keep the same plot and it would be much better.

Yup. Characters should remain consistent if it’s important.

Tonto should not have been played by Johnny Depp. Gross.

The original Ancient One was a poor stereotype of a Tibetan person and Tilda Swinton is cool so I’m ok with this one.

Liam Neeson is a great actor with a ton of gravitas and he pulled off the role well, but yeah shoulda found a middle eastern dude. Maybe that hot Djin dude from American Gods can be the next Ras Al Ghul.

Anything to do with Scarlet Witch’s background is a retcon, she was originally introduced as Magneto’s moustache twirling daughter. Despite her tan in the referenced photo she’s more often depicted as white, but I could see her being middle eastern, but it would make sense that she’s half Jewish at least, given her father’s background.

Lastly, she’s a fucking mermaid. Who gives a shit? How many of the dude bros bitching even watched it?
