No, I’m pretty sure its the indiscriminate bombing of children overseas that’ll do it.

Not even gonna show mine. I justs did not get it until the revealer. That one seemed really obtuse for some reason.

Its actually insane how hard the US clings to the death penalty.

Canadian here. No, you fucking dont. We basically have 2 major players (Loblaws and Sobeys), and they were caught red-handed fixing the price of bread a few years ago, and faced next to no punishment for it.

Would you miss it? Would any of you miss it?

What is the word for someone who is friends with different groups but doesn't have loyalty to any one group?

The closest word I can think of is a sycophant but that’s too strong word and not exactly what I’m looking for. The word I’m thinking of has negative connotations and it’s for someone who is friends with different groups but only at a superficial level and isn’t necessarily honest about who all they’re friends with....

Could it be that the mounting evidence is demonstrating that the commodification of housing and its increasing use as an investment vehicle is driving the housing crisis?

Nah, must be those damn immigants and red tape thats not letting us build on protected environments!

Wild that a country that has such a rich history of same-sex relationships would take this long to legalize it.

We had a really promising, progressive city councillor run for Mayor who basically tanked their campaign by making investment in cycling infrastructure one of their main platforms.

So, instead, we got a business-as-usual developper friendly mayor who will continue to do nothing to address public transit issues, or improvr cycling infrastructure besides painting a few lines on busy roads.

“It’s the entitlement that really gets me. The feeling that someone else’s life, their mistakes, their trauma, their STORY is just free for the taking because it was in the news,”

This. So. Much.

Entitlement is the perfect word for it. In all the sensationalism of modern news reporting, we are guilty of conflating news and entertainment. We forget that there are actual human beings at the center of these stories, people who deserve to be able to decide whether or not their stories get exploited to further enrich someone else.

This is your reminder that Hawaiian Pizza was invented by a Greek immigrant in an Italian restaurant in Canada.

I’ve been saying this for years. These were simple, efficiently built homes to account for a huge influx in housing needs. Why it took us this long to remember a solution that already worked is wild to me.

Sure, there is less space to build in on cities proper, but with how much we have progressed with WFH, it shouldnt be as much of an issue to build outside the core.

Fuuuuuuck caught myself doing this the other day while looking at a map lol.

Excuse me, but the industries AI is disrupting are not lucrative (www.theintrinsicperspective.com)

A more interesting “bear case” for AI is that, if you look at the list of industries that leading AIs like GPT-4 are capable of disrupting—and therefore making money off of—the list is lackluster from a return-on-investment perspective, because the industries themselves are not very lucrative. What are AIs of the GPT-4...

Weird that AI isnt replacing things like management, CEOs, stock investors, accountants… you know, jobs that tend to be about numbers and efficiency, which you would think AI would excel at.

Instead, we have it skirting copyright by stealing other people works and changing it just enough to not be a direct copy.

I recommend you touch grass. Valuing yourself by imaginary internet points is not going to do you any good.

The issue is trying to use genres as specifically as possible instead of being a broad category that covers a wide range of music.

Metal is the worst for this. The vast, vast majority of people would call everything from Black Sabbath to Metallica to Pantera to Death to Behemoth “metal”, but the genre snobs need to differentiate it all for some reason.

Yet, we’re perfectly okay to call everything from Blue Oyster Cult to Fleetwood Mac to Nickleback “rock”.

The Museum of History in Canada has a cool solution to this regarding some of their indigenous artifacts.

They either come to an agreement with the people who the historical item belongs to for the museum to keep it, or they give it back with either a placard explaining why the item is no longer at the museum, or reproduction in its place with a sign explaining that its a repro.

It used to be, when there were actual bargains worth fist-fighting over.

Now they jack the prices up leading into November, and return prices to normal with “SALE” in bug red letters, or offer a piddly 10%-15% discount and act like its a door crasher.
