The answer will vary depending on what part of Canada you’re looking at. In my city, it’s remarkably hard to get approval to build new rental housing. While most of the population agrees that we need more rental units, nobody wants to live

This is an excellent comment and I will agree that we really fucked the dog. I love how “fucked the dog” is the one bit of slang that Canadians can always use to identify each other online. All of this convinces me that we need more diversi

I think both would be correct, though your interpretation is more likely. They could use “fake = 1” to report the number of fake users. Or “fake != 1” to report the number of real users. I can’t imagine the gymnastics they would have to do

That’s the most pathetic thing I’ve heard all year.

And for the final time, my point is that both of these are symptoms of something far worse.

You’re looking at this purely through your own lens, but I choose to look at this in terms of society as a whole. We have young people parroting extremist points of view. That’s a societal failure. Where did our education and child care sys

No, but a winky smile after an intentionally inflammatory reply is usually indicative of someone I’m not interested in reading again. Doubly so when they refuse to use capital letters.

This sort of armchair quarterbacking is why many people won’t open source things. Instead of shitting on someone’s work, get involved and make changes. It’s easier and keeps people involved.

According to the article, the author no longer used this project. It was no longer front of mind. There is a massive difference between reviewing a PR when you are actively involved in a project and reviewing one when the project is in your

Some humans get to spend their lives hunting fish. The rest of us go to work because we have bills to pay. You have a very weak argument.

I’m with you - the man has an amazing voice and I love his style. I would love to be a huge Morrissey fan. Unfortunately, they keep his mic turned up between songs.

You seem pleasant.

My seven year old thinks I have superpowers now. Needless to say, I’m a big fan - it’s pretty amazing to go from learning to applying as quickly as I did. Great job!

Hold on, Morrissey has a soul? I’ve had the misfortune of seeing Morrissey play a few times and my god, what a twat.

I used to publish and have some anecdata you may find encouraging. In my experience, if you’re thoughtful enough to wonder if you have something interesting to say, you likely do. Aside from that bit of data, there is one definite advantage

This is a personal anecdote about something orthogonal to the article. A few months ago, I wrote an exam to get an AWS certification. Before the test, I had to take the adjudicator on a virtual tour of my exam space. My space was small so I

The writer you’re insulting likely made around $0.20 a word. What’s the point? Does this make you feel better about your superior vocabulary?

The idea that you cannot attain perfect pitch as an adult has been thoroughly debunked. The University of Chicago’s study is most famous but results have been replicated at many other schools. Adults can develop perfect pitch just fine. The

Perfect (or absolute) pitch refers to the ability to distinguish a note (correctly) when you hear it played. Singers with perfect pitch can sing a particular note on command. If you had perfect pitch, I would be able to play notes on a pian

It is painfully simple. Charges are a matter of public record. Naming random brown people as terrorists only creates innocent victims. Honestly, it’s time to let this idea die. It’s not only completely wrong but it’s not making you look ver

What a terrible comparison. There is a massive difference between identifying someone who has been charged and randomly naming brown people the killer.

Vtech is fucking evil. When my kid was around 20 months old, she got really into Brio. This kit gave us hundreds of hours of entertainment- she’s seven now and still plays with it: https://www.brio.us/products/all-produ
