Not a good year for David Camerons

Stupid country, its rapidly killing itself because of fear, and the terrorists won cuz of it. Isis played the long game.
 
Probably best to send all the money in it to me to be safe

After working for the local PD and reading police reports filed for fraud and all of that, it is absolutely insane how many stupid fucking people actually believe this and go through with this.

I've read through about 8 months of reports and I'm guessing the number in my town of 65k is probably close to 150-200 people who have fallen for it. Like 95% of them are 65+.

Most lost between $500-$2000 or so, but there were several who have lost like $10k+. One guy lost waaaay more. Bank policies end up basically saying "sucks bro" and rarely refund money back.

People are dumb.
Buddy of mine just arrived here on vacation from the UK.....he hasn't gotten CDN currency yet, hah

Slightly different topic. Roommate of a friend is apparently sought after by police. They want to arrest him. Most importantly, they're trying to track down his laptop.....

...has to be child porn, right? Why else would they be so interested in his laptop? Note: he isn't smart enough to be involved in the dark net or anything like that.

Could be any number of things tbh. Standard procedure if there are harassing messages, or if somebody was involved with drugs or communicating via email or messenger or whatever about doing something to harm somebody else - at least if the offense is big enough - is to get a search warrant to confirm who sent it.

I can have a bunch of messages from Quick telling me how he's going to nuke Winnipeg but until popo have his phone/laptop/whatever to confirm they can't really do anything about it. Have to confirm for proof. They obviously can finish their case and get the guy prosecuted if need be but that can be a big part of everything if they don't end up with whatever device they are targetting.

All that said your buddy could definitely be involved with cp.
 
Sorry I haven't been round much, huge stuff happening IRL:
  • I'm a volunteer for a political party (The Greens) and helping out with campaigning leading up to the Australian Federal Election on July 1st. I've been doorknocking every weekend in electorates where we might get seats and have been actively campaigning.
  • I got a job doing NOC analysis on the National Broadband Network, a huge (controversial) infrastructure project in Australia that connects Fibre broadband. There's night shift staring at 4 monitors and responding within SECONDS to severity alarms that ISPs across Australia require a moments notice for, and the 4 days on 3 days off fucks with my sleep and energy.
  • Overwatch.
We're gonna trade Fowler and I'm gonna be OK with it. I wouldn't have been last year because I WAS THIS BLOODY CLOSE TO BUYING HIS JERSEY. But you just KNOW teams are gonna overplay for a puck-moving D of his calibre.

BREXIT? Fuck off, now my UK passport is useless. David Cameron is a pigfucker and Rupert Murdoch has orchestrated the whole thing from his loungeroom chair. He's also the reason why Trump is becoming more popular, and he's currently orchestrating the Australian Political climate as much as he can. Shit's FUCKED and I can't wait until someone assassinates him.

OK, there's a few days of hot takes. How's everyone been? What's new?

Watched TSN this morning and they think Habs would deal Subban to Vancouver because they covet the #5 pick/Pierre Luc Dubios.

LOL that would be the most Montreal Canadiens thing to do ever if they traded their #1 D-man for a token French Canadian player with 0 NHL experience. It probably happens given our inept owner, inept GM, inept scouting staff and overall inept management team. Fuck this team.
 
good evening marvie my friend

And trading a high draft pick is exactly what the Canucks would do! Win win!

I'm trying to think of a good package that Montreal can give for Fowler(since we are the team most interested in him)Because I think he would be a good fit here.

Good Bye Beaulieu....?

Real talk here, I can't see it happening. A deal of this magnitude would need buy-in by the owner and I doubt Molson would want to move on from Subban.
 
If only the rest of the world was more like NHL Gaf.....

It's been strangely reassuring that while campaigning I've spoken to more people than ever that have been in favor of shutting down Australias offshore refugee detention centers.

Baby steps to a more welcome and accepting Australia.

For sure, and I've said so since the start that while I do 100% believe that MB/MT/a lot of his teammates would like to see him gone, Subban's not going anywhere because he has the only man that matters in his corner, Geoff Molson, who makes far too much money off PK to trade him.

But I do believe our organizational ineptitude trickles downward from Molson to Bergevin to Therrien. The 3 Stooges. To keep the Subban talk going, just look at how this clusterfuck of a braintrust handled him:

- in 2012 in his first post-ELC deal, Subban sought 6x6M, for $36M over 6 years. Any person with a brain in their head knew this was a great deal for the Habs as PK was going to be worth that easily and it would be a steal of a contract in a few years. But no, management hammers him down to 2x3.25M for $6.5M over 2 years. Then he wins the Norris in 2013 and is a finalist again in 2014.

- 2014 when the bridge deal expired, it was time for Subban's payday. He asks for 8x8M for $64M over 8 years. Bergevin tries to play hardball and offers a max of 8x6M for $48M over 8 years. The sides aren't close and arbitration is looming until Molson steps in and awards Subban 8x9M, for $72M over 8 years, which is inexplicably more than BOTH Bergevin and Subban's offers. LOL wat?

This franchise is fucked.
 
We live in world where everyday is Marvies birthday and cats can make stupid trades, anything is possible!

Slightly different topic. Roommate of a friend is apparently sought after by police. They want to arrest him. Most importantly, they're trying to track down his laptop.....

...has to be child porn, right? Why else would they be so interested in his laptop? Note: he isn't smart enough to be involved in the dark net or anything like that.

Online drug or stolen goods trafficking?
 
Fowler sucks

If I was Montreal or buffalo, I would be throwing everything I could to get Lindholm

Fowler is the kind of defenseman you get for $1-2 mil on UFA market.

Tim Murray seems like a smart man, he's been talking a lot about a left handed defense man, but why would he settle for Fowler (I know nothing about him) if he sucks?

edit: And look at his stat page where are you getting a defense man that puts up 30-40 points for 1-2 million :lol Am I just really out of touch?
