enkers

I love being imprisoned, force fed, tortured, and slaughtered at a quarter of my natural lifespan! Yay, so fun! :D

Yeah, it was replaced: “Do the right thing (for the shareholders)”

I think I may be suffering from atrial fibrillation. Could someone give me a hand? 🤒👉👈

Just a little fascism as a treat!

Man, fuck everything about thia. Obviously fuck Dougie for letting this sort of shit happen, in the first place. But also wtf was happening in triage where they’re monitoring this kids oxygen levels drop and they can’t get him priority status. I don’t know how it’s supposed to work, but it’s surely not supposed to go like this.

It’s also kinda crazy that they didn’t pack up and drive 30m to downtown TO where there would have been much better emergency services. Did triage string them along? It’s absolutely baffling.

I wish Ford would be held personally liable for this absolutely avoidable death.

Cool, so if it’ll be fine with them anyways, why not give them a veto.

When asked whether land claim organizations have a veto, Obed said provisions in their agreements “could be defined as vetoes, but really we see them as enabling.”

Is that a weasel I smell?

could be defined as vetoes

Is it an actual veto, or is it not?

Spot on. I’ve had my donor registration sitting on my desk for the last few years, and I’ve been deliberating on it because I don’t trust capitalism not to create perverse incentives and do fucked up shit just like this.

That, and I don’t want my remains to just be a tool to help fund some CEO’s yacht.

Reading this, I feel even more justified in my concern, and it definitely could affect my ultimate decision.

I think you just have to commit to it. It’s only a problem when people are unfamiliar with them. Once They’re exposed enough, they’ll get the hang of em pretty quickly. They just need to be fairly ubiquitous.

Perhaps, but it’s much harder to abuse a speed bump for nefarious purposes.

Lane width restriction is my preferred method, but speed bumps are probably even more guaranteed to be effective.

OK, so what’s the argument against using other traffic calming measures that don’t steal money from people, and are just as, if not more, effective instead?

I would be greatly entertained if valve went into payment processing and out-competed these absolute shitshows of companies.

A good start would be to join France in recognising the legitimacy of the Palestinian state.

Appreciate the clarification. Guess I missed the memo when they changed that a few years back!

I mean, for me it literally makes all my purchases 1% cheaper for zero cost so long as I pay the full amount monthly, which I do. It’d make no financial sense to not take advantage of it.

This IMO is part of the problem, because I’m incentivized to take money away from local businesses and give it to the CC duopoly.

Not all CCs have annual fees. I’ve got one with no fees and I still get 1% back.

The problem is there’s no incentive to use it, as you don’t get the kickback your credit card provides. I’m not sure how the CC duopoly tricked us into disallowing retailer cash/debit discounting.

Seriously? That’s pretty low.

But Colbert’s talent as a satirist was wasted on the Late Show anyways. I hope this comes back to bite them in the ass.

Does the US not have an extradition treaty with Scotland? Shouldn’t convicted felons typically be arrested and sent back to their country for processing? 🤔

Suddenly

As if this hasn’t been going on for decades.

My solution is to do the very minimum I can to get by and otherwise enjoy my minimalist life. Fuck consumerism with a 10ft pole. Let it rot.
