Thanks for contributing nothing intelligent

it's just pathetic that in 2023 we still consider AC to be a luxury when heating is mandatory. All humans require climate control for both extreme heat and cold. AC isn't and shouldn't be a luxury.

Interesting perspective. It would be really mind-blowing to see the other side of the gender, even though I have no interest in being trans.

One thing I will add to this article is that men are also viewed as little more than bank machines after divorce. People always have the utmost sympathy for any mother who is separated from her children, even if only for a few days. Movie plots can revolve around mothers finding their lost children and being reunited. But for men? We're only the providers, the ones who pay the child support.

I lost my kids (not legally, just boring old classic parental alienation) six years ago following the divorce. Nobody cares, because I'm just a man. Not even my own father cares. He happily continues to see his grandkids because he doesn't want to "take sides." None of my cousins or other parts of my family care either. So long as I'm paying my "support." And I can't complain about it on social media because I'm a man. I'm a stoic. Boys don't cry, remember?

The lack of emotional support for men mentioned in the article is another thing that really exacerbates divorces and leads to suicides. I do feel like if I were the type of person to contemplate suicide (I'm not), I would have definitely done it when my ex took my kids from me. And there would have been no male friends to pull me back from the edge. Those friendships are, to quote the author, superficial to a large degree, or even the ones that aren't are men who are now focused heavily on their own families and wives.

I mean, it's also true all the other stuff about the male privilege and feeling safe and the good things that come with being a man. But it's nice to see the perspective of how we lack emotional support and we're expected to grit our teeth and "walk it off."

I got Disney free through some kind of shady Shaw deal I signed up for but the billisecond I see an ad it's gone.

All fiscal Cons peddle the absolute same baloney, including Harper. And then we get the opposite.

Cons are liars, every single last one of them. Their whole philosophy is fundamentally provably false.

Yeah, you always think of the negative stories you've heard. For example, my accountant's husband had an operation and the surgeon didn't do a follow-up with him and he passed away from a blood clot. The widow feels that if the surgeon had done better follow-up care he could have sought help and lived. I guess I just want that reassurance that I'm being looked after and not just another number in a health care system.

I also recognize it could be a time sink to call and say "hey everything's fine" but it sure would make me feel better/appreciated as a human being.

You're the reason I go to self checkout. You're seeking out social interactions in a purely business relationship. I want my avocado and grapes and to get the fuck out of there, not stand there while you ask somebody how their day was and whether the weather might be getting cooler this weekend.

What value does a real human provide you though?

I genuinely don't think I've paid in cash in Canada for about 10 years now.

Didn't read the article, just the headline.

SkyTrain should be built in Vancouver? In Vancouver? Helllllooo, McFly! Rapid transit already overserves Vancouver.

It's the suburbs that is forced to drive the TransCanada highway, like Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford. We need rapid transit to outlying areas. Vancouver is fine. Why do you think the city is drowning in cars? Everybody has to drive from the burbs.
