I am SO fking sick of Entry Level job postings with requirments of 2 year, 3 years, 5 years experince. F.U.! What you mean is we want someone experienced, who can jump right in, but we want to pay you shite. Cut the B.S., just say you want to underpay and undervalue applicants. 🤬

American billionaires are buying up record amounts of farmland in BC. While provinces like Quebec have put heavy restrictions on foreign ownership, we’re watching some of the richest men in America make huge speculative purchases - pushing out locals and taking valuable land from farmers.

“Cyclists are often perceived as recklessly flaunting road laws. A new study challenges this perception. The study found only 5% of cyclists broke road rules while riding on bike infrastructure versus 66% of motorists who broke rules while driving.” Safe bike infrastructure fuels rule-following.

Today’s evidence of events in my second play-through of “Mass Effect (Legendary Edition.” Commander Ridley Shepard is now a Spectre and has a full crowd of people to use as her ‘Away Team.’ #ShareYourGames #ME1 #MassEffectLegendaryEdition

A futuristic vehicle with large wheels is driving on a rocky terrain with a large, dark, sleek aircraft hovering above. In the bottom left corner is a small image of a vehicle and in the bottom right corner is a compass.

A woman in a dark suit stands in a blue circle, facing a person in a dark suit.

Two soldiers in dark green uniforms and helmets are aiming weapons around a grey, metallic box with glowing rectangular windows. On the opposite side of the box are bright impact explosions where enemy rounds are striking the container the soldiers are hiding behind.
