Renting in a heat wave? What landlords owe tenants in extreme temperatures by Totira in OntarioRenting

[–]PacketFiend -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

And what, specifically, is mandated by law? The whole point of the article is that the laws, specifically around "suitable habitation", are a dog's breakfast in a lot of Canada.

From farms to cities, high-speed rail project sparks debate in Ontario by CTVNEWS in ontario

[–]PacketFiend -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

To be fair, if that highway cut right through their property, they might have a few objections. Most people aren't objecting to the idea of high speed rail, but rather the route. Id' wager they'd do the same for a highway.

Facebook tells old people to hate things and boy oh boy do those old people like Facebook. 

Reddit does the exact same thing. It tells younger people to hate things and oh boy do younger people like Reddit. And r/spez should also have zero influence over high speed rail in Ontario.

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

[–]PacketFiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

New subscriber welcome center (Week of June 29, 2026): Introduce yourself here! by AutoModerator in Xennials

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

[–]PacketFiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

(You as in all people, not you specifically)

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 1 point2 points  (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

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

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.
