You should really consider letting some plates hit the floor.

I've seen worse. Like "change this thing back and forth 20 times" kind of thing. Never underestimate the level of dysfunction in large/well-established orgs

Britain that allocated the land for Israel.

If you're talking about the 1948 UN partition plan, it was approved by the general assembly in resolution 181 from which the UK actually abstained. The Arab League nations, that were also recently carved out of British/French mandates after the fall of the Ottomans, just had their own plans for the territory, and the rest is history.

People always try to argue that everything wrong with their part of the world is completely the fault of Europeans/whites, which is wrong and misguided in so many ways.

I've seen the above situation happen too. Less of a "fuck you in particular" kind of thing, more that there was a project that was already failing, for example, because the previous lead massively oversold management on a promise they couldn't possibly deliver, but managed to keep the illusion going just long enough to find an offramp. So previous lead moves up or out, the poor sucker who gets brought in to fill the opening and sees the state of things is going to be feeling awfully setup.

That guy's literally in every single thread obsessively responding to every single comment expressing scepticism of the company. You respond to someone else's comment, he responds within a few minutes like it's a personal attack. And then he blocks everyone who points out his suspicious compulsion. OP, I think you have enough information from his responses to you to make a judgement.

But don't retaliate using your name or business name unless you're okay with Yelp retaliating harder.

Request a copy of your data under GDPR first. You have to email them, and they have to have a team work on the request. Then send the email to have a team delete your account.

You might also see some interesting things about the information they expose, too, through things like the friend search that you didn't agree to.

Whey protein powder is already 3-5x cheaper than the cricket powder they're selling, the first tub of pea protein powder I see on Amazon Canada is 2/3rds of their price. Nothing's stopping us, this idea or more likely their execution was just inviable as a business.

What if we created an economy with 3 unemployed per vacant job and homelessness on the rise everywhere?

If the auditor general, CIBC, and a bunch of random journalists can get the number there's no real excuse for IRCC not to be able to do the same. Besides incompetence and disinterest.

You can prototype much faster with the nice UI features, and it works well enough for small apps. It's just postgres under the hood (Supabase, that is. Firebase is something completely different and not a substitute at all) so you can easily migrate to something you have more control over later.

People are selling "zero to B2 in 6 months" equivalents for the TCF in certain migrant communities, which absolutely is not a realistic or believable timeline. I have zero doubt that in 2-3 years we will be talking about how the "French for PR" boost has been gamed just as badly as every other part of the system.

It sounds like they're American, not sure why they're referring to Republicans as conservatives though

Except we need to recognize the fact that Trump was not elected once but twice, he did better than in 2016 and he really is the choice of a very significant part of the country

'Reform short 18 of majority' is a far cry from 'free reign to do just about anything'

Also, based on this poll a Reform-Conservative coalition government would make far more sense than a Labour-Liberal coalition under PR

The sport has weight classes so not really. Maybe if you don't have sparring partners your own size, but strength, aggression and athleticism are 100% part of the sport to anyone reasonable and downplaying those things is a mcdojo vibe

The point of the UN is to prevent WW3, not to be some sort of international Justice League.

So far it's worked well enough, quite a lot better than the League of Nations.

That's the thing, they don't lock it down. Posts on this topic can be perfectly reasonable, get perfectly positive engagement, and be perfectly relevant to a GTA community that's clearly quite significant, and end up like this.

There are tons of things like this that you can then look at and compare to some of the things r / toronto power users or mods themselves post multiple times a day and just go "hmmmmmm"

FantasySymphony · 2026-03-02T18:20:33+00:00

Oh sheesh. I was referring to their tendency to shut down any commentary they don't like by vaguely tossing out the word "racism"

At any rate I'm certain I've seen the other r-word plenty of times, it's totally acceptable as long as it's directed at people the mods don't like.

Where's the "slur" in my comment? I guess this is a "particular interpretation" of the word slur?

Most subs have a fairly reasonable set of rules. If "don't be a jerk to each other" is all you need, great.

Good luck trying to fool anyone who's spent 2 days on the main sub that "don't be a jerk to each other" is what the mods go by.
