Well, if I'm being charitable, that's exactly the question mark here. There are reports of intimidation and other bad behaviour, but there are also a whole bunch of other people just enjoying the party atmosphere. I think both nar

Yeah, seems super peaceful: https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/mobile/ottawa-police-report-a-nigh... Please, spare me, and spare the rest of us, your poorly informed takes.

If you think Trudeau wearing blackface (also bad, obvs) is comparable to the occupation of the capital of Canada, I wish you well — we really have nothing to discuss here.

Idk. At best you are defending the idea that the majority of protestors are pawns in someone else’s game, no? Just because someone doesn’t know they’re being used doesn’t mean they aren’t being used …

You think pointing out that there’s far-right extremists managing this whole show is a “weak indictment” when one of the stated goals of said protest is to overturn a democratically elected government?

For those of you still on the fence or just learning about this, here's a rundown of the fine people in charge of this travesty of a "protest": https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/who-is-who-a-guide-to-the-majo

Please, stick to messing up your own country, and leave Canada alone.

No idea why this is being downvoted. This is the PROBLEM, people. Many Canadians support removing mandates but very few of us support removing the government through extra-legal mumbo-jumbo. We just had an election in Canada a few months ag

What specifically about the courses being taught by black people do you think helped you do better?

Pardon my saying so, but what a bunch of horseshit. Don’t blame “evolutionary biology” for your own preferences or those of people around you. Source: am a dad (on parental leave) who loves spending time with his young kids.

Am I the only one who thinks that it’s extremely messed up this is even happening? Private companies, operating on their own initiative and without any serious oversight, are slowly and irrevocably degrading the night sky, a precious and ir

The numerical mistake Gruber points out is definitely a howler, but I’m not sure characterizing all and any opposition to COVID boosters as “nonsensical” is fair. The WHO itself says: > In a period of continued global vaccine supply shor

This may sound goofy, but at least 50% of the reason I personally switched to full-time Linux this year was the shock of terror I experienced when reading about the “no more moving the taskbar” thing. As a die-hard “taskbar on-the-side” guy

Idk. I am skeptical but I wish you luck! All I would say is (speaking from direct experience here), just be sure in your own mind that you are not just taking the external validation you would receive through college and proxying it with so

I think the longer you go you may develop a different perspective, although it seems you might have a glimmer of it already. The endocannabinoid system biologically encodes salience, and so when you take cannabis everything (especially the

Unfortunately, if asking nicely (or even firmly) several times does not work and you have to scream at someone, they will never get it anyways, and it’s better for everyone else’s morale if that person is fired.

Yeesh. Please don’t complain about your poorly-researched laundry list of preferences not being upvoted. Come on, nobody cares what editor you yourself do or don’t use.

Just because the Fed is the originator of US Dollars (which it isn’t directly — banks do that by lending, but whatever), that doesn’t imply that fiscal and monetary policy are the same thing. They are decisions by different people for diff

Idk. I somewhat agree; but I’m not sure what to think of that because it’s a fiscal and not a monetary intervention. Minimum wages going up (whether explicitly or because unemployment benefits are competing with them) will definitely bump u
