I’m not American and haven’t been in the United States in several years. Why should a foreign country’s laws impact what I read? Going even further, a democratically elected leader asked their citizens to help. Once again, why does American

In this case, the statement was backed up by an ADM in front of a parliamentary committee. If she lied, someone will be able to show proof of that. At minimum, it would end her career. Why assume she lied until there is proof?

I'm not an expert in this field, I just tried to correct one word. This is a freeze not a forfeiture. My understanding is that the legal link was created by the Emergencies Act. The government believes that it will be able to calm the

Neat story about Bill Hicks and marketing. When he was sick but still working, he appeared on the David Letterman show. At that point, he was something of a regular on David Letterman. He did a routine with a joke that worried Letterman, so

I get your point and provided a couple of examples of failed products. But there’s always another path. Depending on your personality, one approach is to take the people who complain and level with them. Yeah, this product sucks. It’s brand

Coca-Cola’s New Coke may be an example of this, though New Coke may have actually been the best marketing campaign possible for Coke Classic. Crystal Pepsi was another example. Budgets couldn’t overcome the fact it tasted like nutmeg. Moder

No ABC thread is complete without this joke from my grade 8 science teacher. What did one AAA battery say to the other?? Always be celling.

I was quite young and things seemed shinier when I was young, so take this with a grain of salt. But I remember google differently. Gmail invites were a big deal, even amongst less technical people. Adding that sense of exclusivity to somet

Yes, of course it is. I replied to someone who said they have no idea how Canadian law worked. Commons/Senate approval is part of the Emergency Act and the current government has to follow it.

My point was only that this is a temporary denial of service, not an asset forfeiture. Finally, do you have experience with Canadian banks? Temporary account suspensions are relatively common for unpaid debt. There are defined processes, fe

Sorry pal, but this doesn’t make much/any sense.

Note that this is not asset forfeiture. The order only authorizes financially institutions to temporarily freeze accounts if they suspect they’re being used to fund illegal blockades. They can temporarily freeze accounts without a court ord

Wicked! What’s your goto when things are ambiguous? I find myself defaulting to stuff I learned from my parents when I was young. Not because I believe I was raised perfectly or in the One True Way, but because I don’t know what to do and t

YES! AMEN! It reminds of the time I was going to a job interview, saw a homeless dude and went for a coffee with him. Turns out he wasn’t homeless, he was just CTO of a funded startup. The same startup I was interviewing for. We rebuilt the

At the risk of sounding old and snarky, I’ve been looking at a Miele dishwasher and I’m afraid I’m not quite intelligent enough to use it without either an app or an advanced training program. Crap, what happened to ‘normal’ versus ‘heavy’?

You sent me down a Glassjaw rabbit hole too. I’d never listened to them but I’m a fan. Thanks friend!

I’m not going to breathe but thank you for the suggestion. I’ve already run 20km this morning and I’m doing fine on my own without your help. Continuing this is not useful. I wrote a high mer level comment and gave OP a bit of the support t

I catch that. But this parent isn’t giving away their data. They found a solution that works in their unique situation and chose to share it. I just don’t get the judgment. Maybe I’m more sensitive to it because I’m a single parent and have

Hey pal, I have no idea why everyone is lining up to tell you that you’re wrong. I loved reading your story and it gave me a lot of warm, fuzzy feelings from when my child was little. Our little people are all different and we all love our

Do you have children? If not, you have no idea what it’s like. If so, can you accept that you had a different experience than another parent?? We’re all different, our little people are different and parenting is lonely. Instead of jumping

Yet, you keep satisfying your urge to cast judgment on an internet stranger?? What’s the difference? How are you helping?? What utility does angry expert parent bregma provide to this thread or to the other parent’s life??

What’s the value in making parents feel bad about their choices? Who cares about the utility?? Why can’t we just be kind to people in the thick of it?? God, have some fucking compassion… Do you want me to judge every aspect of your parentin

I have a serious question and I’d love a real response. Why are so many parents so judgmental?? It’s really interesting. OP shared a story about what works for their child. Rather than just leave it be, you judge it, conclude that it’s goin

Every single story?? Why does this upset you so much that you would completely exaggerate the truth? It was one sentence at the end of a minor paragraph in one article, written by a poet. Who cares?

It did. If you're interested, the congress hearing is here. That hearing is still the primary source for this story. It's worth some time - some journalists have tried to cover this but mostly just cherrypicked quotes. The entire

It’s an indictment so it’s really the only (palatable) side available right now. The person indicted is unlikely to give a statement because anything they say could harm their defense. Their attorneys certainly will not speak in any substan
