I live in Canada, and I have neighbours HERE that watch CNN.

The mayor is wearing a hardhat and loafers. Clearly needs training on appropriate ppe.

Yes this this is clearly a picture of an empty bus at 2AM when nobody is trying to get anywhere.

I think that reporting on assassination attempts of the US president is probably suppressed.

in bc we have two tier pricing, the first X kilowatthours per month is I think 0.08CAD (~0.05USD), the second is 0.15CAD (~0.11USD)

Our power mostly comes from hydroelectric dams, but we wheel and deal it interprovincially so within the course of a day we’ll spend some time importing and some time exporting which gives us lower rates, and lets other places run more efficiently (ie Fewer gas turbines)

I’ve never heard anyone with first hand experience complain about living in North Korea. They literally can’t complain.

I’m not convinced that just cash will solve homelessness or poverty. It may help, but it seems like a “give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he’ll eat for a lifetime” kinda situation. Give people the fish so they can eat, but if you want them to actually be independent, then you gotta make sure they have the tools they need to do so.

I think the reason you’ve taken so much flak is that money isn’t fish. Money can be converted into tools. Yes, of course you’re right that some people won’t use the money in a way which will end their homelessness, and may benefit from ‘other programs’. But the meme was specifically about people objecting to the idea of giving poor people money so that they can solve their own problems. Rolling out ‘other programs’ is great, but the ‘other programs’ will be much more effective if they’re not clogged with people that can solve their own problems with a bit of cash.

It was about one day before that for me. I was like

oh that’s so cool, he’s got amazing engineers working to repurpose a pressure vessel from SpaceX to act as a rescue pod to save those kids.

Then actual cave divers were like:

any cave diver will tell you that this will never work

What kind of cave diving rescue plan doesn’t talk to any cave divers before drawing any attention to itself? The kind designed solely to draw attention and stroke ego. He tried to make those boys’ struggles about himself because he thinks he’s the most capable man alive.

Mate it’s a meme from 17 years ago, not 2017. It’s from 2007.

It’s the

… like such as the Iraq…

Clip right?

Anybody else feel like it’s pretty sexist to liken the anticipated performance of the vice president of the USA to a teen beauty pageant contestant?

“What’S SUP”

Women are not allowed to choose what they wear and they are probably looking for revenue streams and the pendulum is swinging away from religious tolerance.

Jeezus!

If they know these people are active criminals they will have no problem citing just cause for arrest and search.

I live in Canada, our gun rules are different than the USA. This week in my city some charges against a dangerous criminal were dropped because the police had a “flagrant disregard for charter rights” (according to the judge) (oir charter rights are similar to American civil rights)

They searched him improperly, and found a loaded, illegal gun. Charges dismissed. If they had handled it properly they could have made the charges stick. What a waste of everyone’s time. Police didn’t respect his rights because they don’t respect my rights.

The water in my community has poison added to it by my local government. It’s a poison so heinous its usage is banned in war. It affects the clarity and taste of the water. No matter how many letters I write they are totally unwilling to stop chlorinating the water. It’s outrageous!

Is there a way to set up patreon for any ad free website I browse?

Could my browser have some sort of cryptographically signed cookie that would let ad-free websites deduct 1-5 cents from my browsing account?

Website could check for the cookie before loading the ads?

Has this been tried?

I think the author intended it to mean “let’s fucking go”

But LFG is how my brain will always read it. (WoW BC thru WOTLK)

Dead Harambe timeline

Do they not count the present value of an annuity when calculating net worth? Seems like a major oversight.

Is that what we call Beaver Belly in Canada? (from drinking contaminated water?)

Yeah I get that there isn’t much direct evidence of Jesus. But when you say “Saul had his own thing going on, which wasn’t entirely popular” aren’t you referring to his persecution of Christians?

I thought my question was pretty simple: if Jesus didn’t exist, where did the early Christians (that Saul was persecuting) come from?

We have letters from Paul, because he sent them to other Christian communities. Where did those communities come from?

My question was in regard to the part of the comment:

{The Birth of Jesus} …if it happened at all, which is up for debate…
