High value customers don’t eat at Mcdonalds.

You need to do whats best for yourself, but it sounds like Israel would be a better place with your voice in it.

You can dress how you want. If you see a millennial reaction weirdly to what you are wearing, its likely them cringing at a memory of when they wore something similar as a kid. Cyclical fashion trends and all that. With that said, our culture does have a huge issue with fast fashion, and I’d encourage simpler higher quality clothes that wont cycle with trends as often, for the sake of not destroying the planet.

I do think all levels of government have made some bad decisions that are unique to Canada, but yes they are. Our housing crisis is probably the worst example.

That’s one option. But when I’ve never heard of ‘The Breach’ I’d like to be able to look at this persons history to judge if they are as unbiased as they’d like the reader to believe.

Weird to me that this was published under a pseudonym? Surely they’ve given enough details to be identifiable to CBC.

The question still stands, this just reframes it. He had a majority, just not a filibusterer proof one, so why are the Republicans so willing to remove the filibusterer when it gets in there way and the Democrats not?

It being dangerous is extremely rare, and the extreme heat can give a pretty big endorphin rush.

I know there have been some sketchy instances or things that look like bribery (and may very well have been bribery) but in general I think people massively overstate the effects of bribery in politics. These people are crazy and believe the things they say, that’s why the money put them into the position they are in. This does mean that they do principled things all the time, the foundation of their beliefs is just fucked and incomprehensible to normal people.

I suspect you are just a troll as others have said, but in the case you aren’t;

It’s been shown for all crimes, that degree of punishment doesn’t really have much effect on deterrence. People tend to not know what the punishment for any given crime is, they tend to underestimate how likely they are to get caught, and when worrying about consequences they tend to worry about consequences they understand, like how their family or friends will react, not what living in prison for years will be like.

The justice system everywhere is fallible, protections for those in jail aren’t only for the absolutely guilty, they are for the innocent who are incorrectly incarcerated.

Killing someone wont undue what they’ve done. As horrific as it is, the trauma inflicted on someone can’t be undone. You are only putting more suffering into the world when you punish someone without tangible goals.

We need some solution to offset mandatory or near mandatory carbon costs though. Obviously as long as we are using carbon for energy production outside of very specific use cases, its a non starter as a scale solution. But things like farming still generate carbon, and we don’t have realistic non-carbon options for planes/rockets. The R&D for that also needs to start now. Or like, 30 years ago.

Here is a noy-very recent example.

As a Canadian, I do see reports of police violence in Canada, and I imagine I’m largely seeing the same stuff you are, so you’ve also likely seen some. With that said, police violence per interaction is a pretty low % everywhere (to be clear, it should be 0), but its like 10x higher in the US than other comparable countries, and the US has a huge population. Because of a combination of those factors I wouldn’t be shocked if like 90-95% of police violence happening in English speaking countries is happening in the US.

Its a meme reference to the Bear vs Man question going around.

The stuff was a good product imo, just horribly displayed/advertised. Now the brand for it is rightfully tarnished.

I can still see my hands. They look older than I feel.

They do hate them, but generally conservatives believe in personal failings so do direct action against individuals, liberals believe in systemic failings so direct their effort towards changing the system, not the individuals.

No its not. Rape is a subcategory of Sexual Assault not the other way around. What this guy did was wrong. He is (probably) facing too light of a punishment for it (article says the crown wanted double). I’m just not an expert on these matters at all. But he didn’t rape her. Period.

Sometimes I see people complaining about firefox crashing or being low performance, and I’m always like, I’ve been using firefox for 20 years its always been fine. Then I see this and I’m like okay, I guess me topping out at 20-30 tabs when researching something new isn’t enough for some people? Use book marks.
