With all the shitty news out there, I’m begging the hackers to throw us a bone and release the files. I mean c’mon … were dying here.

Pecker poles are rarely used for lumber. They’re mostly chipped for the paper industry.

Yes, let’s slow forest fires by stripping the Pacific NW of its major carbon sink instead of clamping down on BIG OIL … a solution that doesn’t even begin to deal with the reason for the major fires – global warming.

The stupidity seems to be strong here.

Say goodbye to Stanley Park again. :/

I’m not sure that admitting your client has a “forceful personality” is the best defense in a rape trial.

Canada’s labour laws work different than America’s. All workplace deaths are investigated by a provincial worker’s comp and charges are laid under their statutes. Monetary compensation is set by those statutes as well.

Afaik families rarely sue for workplace deaths/injuries, although I’m unsure if it is forbidden under the Workplace Health and Safety Act.

The focus is who is providing the news on social media, which is influencers … who often have a vested interest in passing off rumors and innuendo as actual news.

Human waste has been used before, but don’t forget that it’s an extremely profitable industry.

Every time I read some stupid thing Drug Fraud has said, this scene pops into my head.

Added to that is idea of Scandification, where Nordic nations consistently do better in almost every metric compared to other forms of governing, economic viability and systemic equality. All because their citizens fundamentally believe that caring for the whole is better than than the “feudal economic model, in which a handful of lords got very very rich while the vast majority of the populace scraped by” source .

But people have to feel they can personally gain else the way to indicate what really needs doing is completely broken.

Personal gain over what’s best for everyone is the reason we’re in this shit show.

It’s time to remember that no man is an island, and we need each other’s ideas and commitment in order to fix the mess caused by unfettered capitalism.

How many people would even turn up to work if it made no material difference to their life?

That sounds just like Reagan and his so-called “welfare queen”.

Except that those around him, whispering in his ear, have learned from the past and understand what he has to do differently this time around.

And that’s fucking terrifying.

Every time this story is in the papers and I think it can’t get any worse, it gets worse anyway.

It’s no different than when provincial gov’ts found lotteries and casinos were thee cash cow they needed to fund their tax coffers instead of taxing the rich … which is what should have been done.

Privatize and tax the fuck of ALL forms of gambling and get the gov’t out of it.

The single most important benefit of getting to be an old woman is I don’t have to deal with this shit anymore.

The guy who became a multi-millionaire from taxpayer dollars.

I’m waiting for the new federal Morality Police Force to be announced.

Pre-Dana White commercialized ufc was crazy to watch. The same octagon, but with almost no rules meant busted arms, legs, etc.

I remember the first time I saw it (on video, pre-streaming days) and it was far more gruesome than boxing ever was.

I think you’re right that UFC ruined boxing.

Back in the 70s and early 80s boxing was incredible. Ali was still a contender and Spinx, Fraser, Sugar Ray, Marvelous Marvin, Holmes and Durán lit up their weight classes like a Christmas tree.

Then Tyson entered the sphere and blew the doors off. He was fucking amazing to watch back then. His precision and power were something we’d never seen before and we were in awe.
