Don’t make us look shittier than we already are

I reported harassment from other students to teachers. They ignored it and did nothing for 8 years. I stopped asking for help.

People should be able to live where they want, and any government that demands participation must provide equal services to everyone.

The American government is not giving Ukraine bags of money. They are giving them weapons. These weapons were made by American companies. All of the money spent on these weapons was either spent years ago, or remains in the American economy. The only thing that is moving is metal, plastic, explosives, etc. Money is being pumped into the defense industry, which you would think would make conservatives happy.

I’m guessing the reason for most things forcing you to use an app is less because of data harvesting, and more because it increases repeated use.

When you have to go to your browser and remember to check a website it’s harder to create a habit. If you have an icon flashing on your home screen every day it’s much easier to remember to go to their site. Sure you can “Add to Home screen” functionality, but average users don’t even know that exists.

It also feels like a bespoke app is more “professional” than a website, despite many apps secretly just being a website anyway.

That said, they are definitely harvesting your data. I just don’t think that’s the main reason for most apps.

I agree with all of this. I think almost all of Canada’s gun control laws are sensible. We have sensible laws about transport, storage, safety training, and other things. Magazine size and banning weapons that look scary is not effective though.

It’s easier to build, but much less efficient to operate

I personally think the biggest driving factor in the rural/city divide that causes rural populations to skew conservative is services.

Rural communities are criminally underserviced. It makes sense why from a logistical view. When people are gathered in small areas, they are easy to provide services to. It’s much easier to provide quality power, plumbing, roads, essential services, and prettyich everything to high density areas. It’s more effective to service cities.

It’s hard to provide reliable services to rural areas. With everyone spread out so much, you need longer wires, longer roads, longer pipes, more people, more everything. So it makes sense to allocate less to these areas. But it’s also horrific.

These are people. It makes perfect sense why rural communities distrust and resent government, and oppose increased spending on social services. They don’t see the benefits. They see money being spent on things they can’t use. Then manipulative politicians swoop in and tell them that these services are bad.

The solution is to suck it up and give everyone equal access to services. Spend more money on rural communities, even if it’s less efficient. Because they are people and deserve roads and hospitals and internet equivalent to cities.

Recycling is hard. That said, carbon emissions aren’t the only reason to do more eco friendly manufacturing. Not having giant piles of garbage and polluted environments are also pretty decent reasons.

Thanos was a fucking stupid character in the MCU. The human population is currently doubling every 61 years with a growth rate of about 1.14%. Assuming similar numbers across the galaxy, he didn’t do anything except cause suffering. He’s a very poorly written villain.

I guess to stay on topic, they would have looked at population growth, and determined that his plan was moronic, and fought him.

Ah nice, the “everyone who isn’t a conservative is on the left” tactic. It lets you compress 80% of all ideologies into “the left,” which means you can accuse everyone in “the left” of the stupid shit tankies and liberals believe at the same time!

I think you got downvoted by people who thought you were asking for proof that India murdered that fellow.

I found it pretty clear you were mocking India’s government for not providing any proof of Canada being a terrorist sanctuary.

Magazine size laws aren’t really effective at doing anything. Up in Canada you can’t have a rifle magazine with more than 5 rounds. However, almost all of the magazines are full size magazines that have been modified to hold fewer rounds. All of the responsible owners leave them at 5, but with a minute or two of work you could turn most of them into full size again. We don’t have mass shootings every day.

Gun violence in America is a culture issue. You’re broken.

Up in Canada (at least my part), McDonald’s coffee is a great affordable coffee. It’s better than Starbucks or (🤮) Tim Hortons. It’s not going to compete with a bespoke artisan coffee shop that squeezes cat butt glands or whatever justifies selling a $5 cup for $10, but it’s better than almost everything else for the price.

I put a screwdriver down beside me and have to take 2 minutes to find it. I couldn’t imagine if the screwdriver had legs.

Please define “bad graphics”

You could argue that folding phones have screens on the back, just not the full thing, and not always the back

I dunno, there some necessary context here. I think Requiem for a Dream is a better movie then Iron Man, but I sure as hell wouldn’t pick it as the only movie I’m ever going to watch again.
