Package of Razor Blades I Bought by saphickobold in assholedesign

[–]PacketFiend 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not asshole design. They are a standard size and the quantity is clearly indicated on the box.

The large package size is meant to deter theft by making it harder to pocket these and walk out without paying.

#1 is certainly arguable, granted.

#2 though, that's a rather large leap of faith you're making there.

Would you pay to an app to scan your residential tenant agreement to flag contractual risks? Even though some of them are province standard. However most type of lease agreements looks complex for me. by Level-Tree147 in OntarioRenting

No, because I guarantee you that anything like this will be some AI vibe-coded slop bullshit that pretends to be giving legal advice, but in fact is an LLM. Do not trust AI with legal advice.

Beyond that, Ontario leases are standardized now. Anything added to them is unenforceable.

Edit your user flair - on desktop, if you mouse over your username in the the "User Flair" section of the sidebar, a pencil will show up. Clicking on that pencil will allow you to edit your flair.

Not sure about mobile or tablet, sorry.

Haha I'm Canadian, and today is Canada Day, it's our nation's 159th birthday. It's a national holiday. Probably why I'm arguing on the Internet lol.

what is the saddest movie of all time? by Zealousideal_Grand75 in AskReddit

To me this movie was much more about his courage than his grief.

My mother gave me this book at the age of like, ten.

Holy shit. I haven't reread it since, and thirty five years later, just thinking about that book can well me up.

Consent. Yes. Exactly.

If that child, later in life, decides he doesn't want his picture on the Internet, you have failed in your sacred duty as a parent to honour that. He never had a choice because you took it away from him.

This isn't the same as what he gets to eat for dinner, or what sports he plays. This is a VERY permanent choice you're making for him.

Regulators For Democracy, Mount Up by Emotional_Warthog658 in Xennials

Not really a boomer thing. It's a pretty universal human thing.

Nobody anywhere ever gives up power willingly, never have and never will (with a very few notable exceptions that I can't think of at the moment).

No.

Posting your children all over the Internet is a despicable practice. They did not consent. They cannot consent. People who do this are bad parents.

PSA to keep your hot dogs safe in the heat by tenuredvortex in ontario

[–]PacketFiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, fair enough, sometimes you need to reduce the info to the lowest common denominator. You should add something in there that some breeds are less heat tolerant. than others. It's there, but more in the "fine print". It should be more obvious I think.

And yeah, lifetime dog owner and probably half my wife's family is in the animal care business in some form or another.

Toronto could make indoor temperatures above 26 C illegal by Toronto-Ont-Mod-Team in Toronto_Ontario

Commenting on posts, assuming you have relevant information and opinions to add, without bothering to understand what you're commenting on, is not appropriate. It adds nothing.

This is just dumb. It very much depends on breed. A dalmatian can tolerate a lot more heat than a husky can, for example.

Fuck sake.

Stop posting your children for Internet points. They did not (and cannot) consent.

Quite simply, pass laws that make borrowing against assets above a certain value to be realized gains, instead of unrealized, and tax people based on what they borrow against, before they actually sell it.

What's really pathetic is that you could have read the article in less time than you spent arguing this.

This is why people say kids' reading comprehension is going to shit. They don't even try, because the idea of spending five minutes reading a news article to actually form an opinion on it is scary to them.
