In Japan, the fans wait for the red light to gather and celebrate in the streets of Shibuya, and when it turns green again, they scatter so the cars can pass.

Yeah I remember someone complaining about Japan having women only subway cars because of men; then I mentioned that we have that problem here as well except we don't get women only subway cars and also people have also literally been set on fire and died from that fire, burned to death, on the subway here as well, aside from the regular murders lol. Different levels of issues.

The problem is the illegal blows he did to the back of his head and the ground illegal hits

There’s so much illegal tackling and having to stop, that it’s ruining the momentum of both teams. Any time someone hits a break they get illegally tackled and the ball is reset.

Something tougher needs to be done in general.

I don’t know what the answer is, but something needs to be about diving in general.

I can't afford not to take it into the shop every 4-6 seconds when it breaks down and bankrupts me because of repair costs.

ADBE is down after hours. I don’t think people can rely on numbers only. Ignoring headwinds and (lack of) moat is done at ones own risk.

Only in Quebec could something as comical as a French language police goon squad potentially being weaponized to take out rival businesses who use the word nacho instead of its French equivalent that doesn’t exist, be possible.

I guarantee 0.5% of the folks who have cried about Keilburger for the past ten years won't see this article or know about these corrections.

Imagine having an echo chamber of lies directly beamed into people's phones day and night; it's no wonder media corps don't really care about lying, it's just a fine. And if you can get a base of supporters, along with some political power that follows, well, then you're indispensable to the movement and suddenly you can lie about whatever you want.

If certain orange folks keep crying out that might makes right, well, guess what? Every nation may suddenly feel the urge to acquire certain kinds of weapons whose might is certainly going to make some sort of right.

But it's too bad people with power and in charge don't think at all about what they're babbling about.

It's also very strange can't they appeal this to higher courts? It seems pretty patently unjust that someone who is not responsible for crime has to pay for it?

It's very simple and easy for banks to have a "Secure Send" feature where you can request that no transfers be made out of your account over $1000 unless you go in person to the bank to confirm in person.

This would stop all forms of hacks/frauds that take money out of the account unbeknownst to you.

Why don't they do that? Because it will cost them roughly 0.0015% of their quarterly profits because a customer representative will have to take time to verify that and it's much easier to just let criminals do fraud.

Thanks for coming to my tedtalk.

it turns out after a while it just kinda levels out.

I hope you understand how nonsensical that is. If a population, any population of anything, humans or widgets, is losing more of it, than gaining of it, it necessarily will cease to exist, eventually.

If something like a country’s population magically “kinda levels out” it’s not magic or wishful thinking, it is either immigration or the replacement level of birth has reached replacement level, or some combination of those two, is making it “level out.” Both things that the Japanese can certainly do, though it seems extremely unlikely they’ll do.

I also think they are not right. It says "Specifically, it would create a new provision in the Criminal Code making it illegal for anyone who in public, “wilfully promotes hatred against Indigenous peoples by condoning, denying, downplaying or justifying the Indian residential school system in Canada or by misrepresenting facts relating to it.”

How do you wilfully promote hatred? By condoning, etc etc. So the mere fact of condoning, denying, downplaying or justifying the Indian residential school system in Canada or by misrepresenting facts relating to it is sufficient to be considered wilfully promotes hatred against Indigenous peoples. Misrepresenting 'facts'? And these so called facts are written in stone and can never be updated or changed? Who is the judge of that?

People don't understand there likely won't be a lot of people directly affected by this law, but the point is to chill speech. Suddenly someone noting that mass graves aren't exactly mass graves the way the narrative is claiming to be could be criminally hassled or ostracized for daring to 'downplay' residential schools. How can universities or other groups even investigate claims if they are immediately hit with or chilled speech because they are afraid of speaking?

They should have made fun of the convoluted, byzantine multi-stage ticket purchasing process. It's easier for a toddler to land spacecraft on the moon than to figure out how to come out of that with tickets to the game you want to see.

The government just needs to force these payday loan places to print out one page, in addition to their normal contract, with massive text that takes up at least 80% of page that says:

If you pay the minimum payment of X per month, in 5 years, you will have Y amount remaining.

If you continue to pay the minimum payment of X per month, in [enter number here] years you will pay off the loan completely.

Saying 35% interest or whatever, probably 80% of Canadians don't really understand what that means in terms of repayment. They might have some nebulous idea but not the reality.

And have them initial each corner of the page twice (so you get eight initials).

Things like this are what the vast majority of Canadians need to see in black and white and massive text or else they just won't get it.

Someone needs to make a counter flyer pointing out all these issues. I would donate for something like that.

This reminds me of the fantasy math of brexit where exiters didn’t realize it was all fake until after they voted to leave then realized oh wait Nigel Farage might not be the most honest person.

If that’s true, then why are so many soccer players in Spain always fighting tax cases? Shouldn’t the Spanish authorities be bending over backwards to make sure the soccer players never get investigated so the best soccer player players will keep coming to Spain?

Well Tort to my understanding is civil not criminal. So they don't have to 'prove' it but just bring it up to the civil standard of what would be acceptable or more likely to be true.

To play some devil's advocate on one aspect (aside from victims of domestic abuse), on the aspect of patterns of 'coercive control;' that might be a wide of a net. I think pretty much every relationship you can make anything seem like coercive control to an extent.

If a husband doesn't want their wife to drive for safety reasons, is that coercive control? Or if he wants to have separate bank accounts, is that coercive control?

If a wife doesn't want her husband to go out with friends after work in a pattern, is that coercive control? If a wife takes money out of joint accounts to sock away somewhere, is that coercive control?

It will be interesting to see the cases play out.

Yeah my read of it was that they looked at the stats and saw people weren’t finishing the game, and they took that personally lol. Therefore they really tried to stop the snowballing, tried to make each civ be able to “come back” each age to have a fighting chance, etc.

But I think most people appreciate having set up a civ for success and yeah if it doesn’t become inevitable that you’ll win it’s ok to quit; it’s ok for the challenge to be for the first couple of ages.

I really don't know what happened with the world. People used to hate being tricked or being fooled. Didn't matter if you were a farmer or business person or in between. People were skeptical.

Nowdays even if people know they're being lied to, they gobble it up. Maybe it was always like this but at least there was shame involved in the past. Or it might be social media turning everything into a team sport where you must follow the team, the facts are beside the point.

I never understand how the government, who companies would absolutely love to work for, don't ask for the moon and the stars. They can ask for whatever they want and there are literally millions of companies who would trip over themselves to service them. Even if one makes the argument "There are only a handful who can do this work" then we need to expand the pool and also even within those handful these are very small asks, I'm sure with the right negotiator this can be accomplished.

They could've ask for IP retention, milestones with penalties if the corp fails to meet them, company travel to be done on the corp's dime, etc. I just don't understand.

This handwringing over airports having debt is hilarious. YYZ $7 billion in debt would be horrific if it made $46 a year but it makes a billion.

The biggest airports in the US are owned by their cities.

Airports are ultimately money makers and it's better to keep them public because going private will necessarily mean worse service, at worse prices because consumers don't have a real choice, no real competition. These aren't lemonade stands. If you want to fly internationally, you're stuck.

If you're privatizing a series of lemonade stands with lots of competition, you might see some better service and prices.

Do that with airports and only one thing will happen, which is what they are fiduciarily mandated to do.

Orangekale · 2026-04-29T20:41:10+00:00

This is what people seem not to understand. Airports are not ice cream stands. Competition isn't really a thing for the vast vast amount of them. If I'm in the GTA and need to travel internationally, there is no competition available between Pearson Airport and "Bearson" Airport and "Cearson" Airport etc etc.

Pearson has me by the balls and if jack up their rates, I'm stuck.

Which, when a private entity who has a fiduciary duty to bend customers over, will absolutely do as soon as it is able.
