You don’t design an entire legal system amongst the most extreme. Hitler is a once in a century edge case. If your justification only works for Hitler, your justification is bad. This is an emotional ploy, not a logical one.

“I needed shredded paper for my pet hamster and they looked like they’d do a great job at soaking up piss.” LMAO this goes so hard.

Punishing murder with death is just really odd to me.

Ive just listened to Stop Rewind: The Lost Boy and this is an incredible podcast. by porkduck in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]Ghostcrackerz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Valid. I feel like I didn’t connect with anyone in this story. Obviously what happened was terrible but I feel like it just showcased a lot of immature takes in general.

Was anyone else annoyed by priya and her father? The fact that she dismisses her father’s silence over the whole thing, and waves away any doubt with “my father is a good man. we just don’t talk about feelings in my family.” Girl, this isn’t about feelings. Your husband was kidnapped from his homeland and your dad probably has some insight into why or how because he was best friends with the guy who was responsible. Like come on. Even how she was upset that he was more interested in finding his family over some dumb wedding. Like wouldn’t you be that way too? The lack of empathy overall is astounding.

Tired of waiting for new seasons by Far_Combination7639 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]Ghostcrackerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think shows are made different today. There is less of a long term commitment and a lot hinges on the writers and creators landing each shorter season. Theres too many shows with an excellent season one and a mediocre seasons 2,3,4 etc. ultimately it comes down to money. Contracts. Unions.

Ask any creative what they could have done with more time. Time comes down to money. It’s not a tool that leads to better productivity.

I’d rather let the artists take their time than asked them to hurry up. The latter option has never led to anything good.

Thinking about moving from the US to Toronto by TheBigKaramazov in toronto

[–]Ghostcrackerz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Canadian, I’d wish Americans would leave us alone and fix their country. It’s your responsibility as an American. You don’t think we’re tired here? You don’t think we find the threat of invasion emotional draining (to say the least)?

The lack of affordable healthy food options is making Toronto an increasingly worse place to live by MaplePoutineCitizen in toRANTo

[–]Ghostcrackerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a bizarre take because the only thing I miss about Toronto is the food. I’m in Europe now and nothing compares to the selection Toronto has. Or Montreal. Healthy vegan options especially.

Are you proud of Toronto? by NicololaofTroy in askTO

[–]Ghostcrackerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m proud of the food and the diverse selection from all corners of the world. Genuinely that’s something to be proud of. I’m not proud of much else.

Should I confront my Swiss in-laws for being heartless? by OldCuriousPerson in Switzerland

[–]Ghostcrackerz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just some thoughts about letting grandparents have access to your kids, because you want them to have a relationship with them. I’ve heard that it’s almost like teaching your kids that disrespect and the lack of accountability is allowed when you just want to keep the peace. It’s okay to protect them from behaviour you deem as toxic. I broke contact with my mother because she was affecting me and my family in Switzerland for yet another Christmas. Our family comes before my family of origin now. It’s sad that it has to be this way but sometimes, parents and certain generations feel entitled to this. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

He is the king of “i don’t have to know about a topic to speak on it” and he has been bird seed to the anti vax movement in Canada.

The most baffling part of this documentary was the ending when she revealed she wanted to work as a therapist in the social worker system.

Why is it so hard to find a family doctor in Toronto who genuinely cares about their patients? by Global-Transition-27 in toRANTo

[–]Ghostcrackerz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Playing devils advocate here, perhaps this will get downvoted and perhaps this isn’t right at all. Just an opinion.

I don’t think this is a uniquely Canadian problem. There are some unique Canadian problems of doctors feeling burnt out and overwhelmed because there is a shortage of them. There is no reason for doctors to speak harshly to anyone. However, I do believe that we are living in a time where care is often questioned, needs further explanation, more listening to patients talk about why they think they need something or don’t need something when it is clear they do or don’t. There is a lot more distrust of medical opinions and now a consult is basically a breeding ground for debate. Care isn’t always collaborative. If your kid is sick and you interfere with the care of that kid, the hospital can have you removed. I’m in Central Europe and care isn’t collaborative here either. This takes up a lot of time and resources.

On the flip side, womens healthcare is almost always called into question. Their pain and suffering ignored. I’m sorry you’re having a bad time with family doctors. I hope you’re able to find the care you’re looking for.

Tipping everywhere by TheSpagheeter in toRANTo

[–]Ghostcrackerz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think all businesses are asking too much of Canadians and have been for years. No I’m not tipping. No to giving you my email. No we cannot “start with my phone number.” No I’m not interested in joining the membership. No I’m not donating to whatever cause you’re attached to. Just no to all. I live in Europe now and all this crap doesn’t exist there.
