Intelcom seems to be an Amazon collection of parcels that never arrive.

I have never fully comprehended the paper thin line between civilization and complete anarchy, where it’s just animals running wild, slicing, terrorizing, and burning.

I suppose it's a matter of personal ethics. What do you believe in? What about the common good? We should probably adopt some of the animal traits we admire. Check out the Bevs' Albatross Thread, very soothing.

I believe that mob mentality is a terrible thing and I applaud the individual peaceful protester who tried to stop an angry mob from looting stores. People being locked up in quarantine for weeks with no income and an angry mob looting stores in the middle of a pandemic is almost as bad as it gets. 2020 sucks.

The looting of Arras, in WW1 by Canadian troops happened because they hadn't been fed in a few days. When British MP's were called in their horses were shot out from under them, and it took days to regain control. Not everyone knows that. :lol:

UPS must be trying to become worst courier in Canada, currently I give that title to Purolator. This envelope of documents sent today Monday is going from Richmond, BC to me in Vancouver, a whopping 17km. It is supposed to be delivered next business day. I tried to get the company to let me pick up but they wouldn't let me.

Someone posted this on reddit, and I thought is was amusing, and hey improvement in the housing market it seems, not too long ago such a price barely got you a fixer upper, but this one appears to actually be in decent shape and liveable. Not even a million dollars either, 999,000.

That's very close to where my friends used to live (I had to check it wasn't just 2 doors down), and their rental was sold out from under them so a developer could build a huge house on 2 lots. Similar sized place, and went for a similar price about 5 or 6 years ago.
