Why isn’t a parking space specifically attached to a residence than bought it? That’s the reason for the fights right there. Letting the developer maximize profits also lets residents choose residences without parking spots, to save money

They actually do exactly this, they’re just not thinking about it. You buy a book because you want the physical possession, which gives you the ability to sell it or give it to someone or display it. Not because you want to read the content

She specifically set herself up to be recorded and then shared it across the internet. That is the problem part, not her questioning of the HR people (which was a show for the camera!) That kind of “I’m the main character” type energy would

What in God’s name were they thinking placing ChatGPT answers in there? Can users not just go to Chat GPT to get those answers?

Why? A human being isn’t infinitely scalable; they’re just different. It’s the same thing as going to a movie theatre to watch a movie vs. recording it with a camera.

The article states he’s actually living in the suburbs of Toronto. Anyway my own family moved to Toronto 23 years ago when we landed - it’s simply by far the easiest place to get a job.

Canada has no “super dense” places to actually live in. It’s all a suburban wasteland with 2.5 pockets of medium density in the 3 largest cities.
