People do not live in Downtown Toronto. It is that dense because it is the entire country’s financial district. Residential developments cannot pay the premium demanded, it is all office towers. The tiny minority of Torontonians who can afford to and choose to live there are apparently willing to put up with that.

Residential density looks more like Montreal’s walkup residential buildings.

Even if you could point out an example of density done poorly, you would have to ignore all the examples of density done well for it to be meaningful.

No, this 320k is ALL for the lawyers. Haven’t even gotten to the 200 million of damages yet.

And nothing of value was lost. It’s all mass market bullshit.

Yeah well the rest of us really don’t care if “all y’all” kill each other on the road so knock yourselves out

This is an EA title and so not only will I not be spending money on it, I will be casting contemptuous glares at any of you chuckleheads and class traitors who do.

I’m starting to fear its becoming a moral imperative to throw ourselves into the gears and jam the machine with our bodies

Combine them and you have a golf course. It’s like park where everything has been killed and replaced with turf and only rich people are allowed to enjoy.

Many books have a more complex structure than simply an acyclic directed graph; an ending often has multiple ways of being reached.

I feel you have to try hard to take that as the message here.

Some people would say that attempting to reach your own self-fulfulment through your children is a form of child abuse. Certainly it can easily become abusive and I don’t think it’s a positive pattern to encourage.

Having a child aught not be about what you want or even what you need. That’s backwards, and it’s exactly the sort of lie we tell ourselves to try to post-hoc rationalize a decision that our bodies have made for us, and we want to believe we made for ourselves.

That’s not what I am talking about. I am talking about simple emotional dependence on your children for your own needs. That is a classic abusive inversion of the relationship.

Once you die, it’s over. Dead people don’t have interests. Making plans for when you are dead is even more irrational than convincing yourself that having children is a benefit to you or anyone else. All this stuff about fulfilling your ancestor’s legacy is romantic twaddle you use to confuse yourself.

Human reproduction is the biggest con. The worst thing is, we’re the ones fooling ourselves.

What a tortured take. A loaded gun in a fucking glovebox absolutely IS a problem.

Oh, leave people not harming anyone alone. They are not obliged to play with you if they don’t want to, grow up and deal with it.

It’s not up to you to decide what that means. They are allowed and empowered to decide for themselves what “being Canadian” means. And if it means staying the fuck away from you and never, ever interacting, well that makes perfect fucking sense from where I sit.

Are you… serious? They have no problem with it BECAUSE they are baby animals! The hormones are IN THE MILK FOR THE BABIES. That’s WHY babies drink milk, why mothers ONLY PRODUCE MILK FOR BABIES, why no other creature on earth drinks the milk of a mammal when they are not a baby. Like holy fuck, how do people think mammals work??

The question was, what KIND of shithead. The authors expected to find it was narcisistic people, but they turned out to be wrong, it was an entirely different kind of shithead. When you are dealing with a shithead, it is important to know what kind of shithead you have on your hands. This is good science.

If you read the article, you’ll find that they expected the results to show that people were “attention seekers”, but in fact they found that they were NOT trying to get attention and manipulate people’s view of them the way narcisists do. They don’t want attention, they actually want to HURT people. That’s a big, big difference.

Funny how there is no alternative method of reducing or reversing the growing wealth disparity presented. The class of people who have done better than not only every other Canadian but virtually everyone else on Earth since the last world war that they ALSO profited from is telling us it is unfair to them while a growing number of people cannot eat and house themselves any longer. The very reason people cannot afford to survive is because the top is taking a larger portion of our productivity every single year.
