Truly, I don't understand how this isn't a thing already, it's so basic. In any other context, a large investor in a private company acquires a share of it. In Canada, if the large investor is the government, its a gift?? Wtf??? I'd even be okay to, say, build on some clauses that the government buys shares at a higher price, or needs to divest at X time, first right to buy back, etc., if people are afraid of the government literally taking over everything.

Or even simple clauses, like CEO take a pay cut, no bonuses, etc. But this business of privatizing gains and socializing losses only helps the ultra wealthy hoard wealth at the expense of everyone else. It's incredibly immoral to take bailouts, then give bonuses and even fire workers.

Yes?

My dude, Trump worship doesn't make sense to begin with, and yet, here we are. You can't use logic and reason in a situation that has no logic and reason.

Your thinking wasn't wrong, the problem was that the municipal and provincial police and governments abdicated their duties and abandoned their citizens. The federal government stepped in because the lower levels of government refused to do their duty for weeks. I don't disagree that Trudeau stepped a foot beyond his jurisdiction, but in that scenario, he was being the only responsible adult who actively cared about the well-being of Canadians.

I'm glad it was done, and there was nothing in the execution that was heavy-handed or otherwise untoward. The people had more than ample warning to disperse, the line moved slowly (giving the people every opportunity to leave of their own volition), force was restrained and minimal. People got arrested because at that point they made the choice to be. It certainly was not the situation we currently see unfolding in the US right now (which, if we are honest, the convoyers would have wanted for their side to perpetuate, if they could).

There were Jews for Hitler. These people really think they're "one of the good ones". They're just useful labour until the labour part is done, then they'll get tossed in with the rest of the Jews/Hispanics.

All assignments are submitted electronically now, and if he's in philosophy, he will also have to follow formatting requirements like font, font size, margins, and spacing. Practically, he's doing as much as he is allowed off-computer.

Well, that's silly, all Signal chats are secret; it's not like group chats are public.

"The group's chat description identifies itself as a 'clandestine' group and new members are warned to 'remember the first rule of Fight Club.'"

... Well, then.

Perhaps someone can help me understand the difference between an anthropromorphic animal mascot (which as a tale as old as time) and a furry? When does one cease to be one and becomes another?

There are animal mascots all the time in sports. Why is that not weird, but it's weird to have a sporty animal mascot for coins?

Netflix literally will not take my money anymore. I had cancelled my subscription during covid because money was tight, but I was willing to temporarily re-subscribe when the next season of select shows came out. I tried to re-enable my original account, but I couldn't because they wouldn't accept my credit card. I tried different cards, then tried to make new accounts with different emails and different credit cards, but still couldn't. Netflix kept rejecting all my cards. I ran out of credit cards.

Look, I was willing to give Netflix my money, it's not my fault they were unwilling to take it.

To summarize a long story, I (a millennial) put in a task request to a Gen Xer, including step by step instructions. I knew what to do, I just don't have access to do it.

Xer told me that was the wrong service, it's this other one, he can't find the settings in the Other Service. We went back and forth a few times, he repeated I was wrong, until finally he showed me a screen capture from Other Service that showed "managed by service 1" that proved I was right in the first place.

If he were willingly to accept I might know what I'm talking about and looked at the instructions, it would have been done in minutes instead of dragging it out over 11 days.

Obviously this is a hand picked anecdote, but yeah, bosses and non- boss elders definitely get in the way of productivity.

This is utterly ridiculous and such a thinly veiled racism. It's disgusting that a school principal and members of the school board collectively want to punish this kid so badly for being black they'd go to court to do it.

If there's a go fund me or other fundraiser for court costs for this kid and his family, I'd gladly throw money at it.

Refusing to use nail polish remover to clean off permanent marker because that's "for women". It's acetone, my dude, acetone.
