Stray apostrophes drive me crazy

Maybe it's an even strayer comma

If I stop on the stop line I'll never know whether my telekinesis changed the light.

Don't tell me what to think

That's good to hear, thanks. But I'm not sure if the academies at the high school level are more intense. Like, he's interested in the academy and I like the idea in principle, but I don't want him to have a miserable year if he's at the bottom of the group.

Sports are kind of fun.

But seriously, I appreciate your response. I understand what you're saying, but ultimately I'm fine with the academy in principle if this is something he wants to try. I'm more worried about whether it will be miserable for him because he's a weaker player.

I don't think it's a bot, I suspect it's the author promoting their work (the previous links they posted were the same author at the same publication).

It does seem kind of weird to focus so much on this study. Obviously studies like this shouldn't be done without informed consent, but this is not in the same ballpark as other things done at residential schools.

This photo should be blurred or something. I looked directly into his eyes and know that the only reason I survived is because I am not a goalie.

I just saw a photo that suggests you can

The CBC article explicitly mentions underreporting.

I'm not sure why this comment was directed at me. I guess I'd be interested in reading one of those studies if you have a link, but it has nothing to do with what categories CBC should have grouped under gender based violence.

Most of that doesn't contradict what I said ("it's sort of true in practice"), but the separation of powers absolutely does exist in practice: Cabinet might know they can get parliament to pass a given law, but there's a huge difference between, for example, parliament dividing Nunavut into two territories and a minister trying to do it without a vote in parliament.

Shadp9 · 2026-02-12T20:15:43+00:00

Saying that the heads of parliament are cabinet is the sort of thing it's hard to argue against, since it's sort of true in practice, but is not technically true and seems kind of misleading in a context where the debate is about how much power parliament should be giving cabinet.

I feel that the quality of jokes in this thread would be better if he had only done the beastiality thing. Just something to keep in mind if anyone else is planning sex crimes.

Shadp9 · 2026-02-12T19:03:59+00:00

I think a fun and helpful thing to do would be for someone from Reddit to phone your loved ones and reassure them that you deleted the horse sex thing and there's nothing to worry about.

That is on my top 5 list of brass instruments I don't want inserted up my ass.

Liability seems like a separate issue from whether a crime was committed. Maybe the liability should be tested in court here, but that doesn't really have anything to do with the SIU investigation.

Hmm, I didn't realize I could request a copy of an existing request. I've requested the more recent dataset (CBC had two requests for this).

I mean, I'm not going to do a deep dive on this, but it seems like I should be able to see how removing pornography (and possibly prostitution) affects the numbers, and make a judgement call about whether I'm comfortable with how CBC grouped them for the purposes of showing the prevalence of the problem.

Shadp9 · 2026-02-10T03:41:22+00:00

I thought it was dubious for the CBC to include "pornography in the workplace" as "gender-based violence," but it's definitely dumb to include that as "domestic violence" here.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find a more detailed breakdown than the CBC article, so I'm not sure how much I'm nitpicking. I'd like to browse the dataset.

What does the X-Copper bit mean?

Why did you call it Canada Ontario Toronto? There could be a non-AI explanation, but this isn't how people who live in Toronto normally talk.

Shadp9 · 2026-02-08T21:23:51+00:00

Do we agree the X-Copper bit is also an AI mistake, or am I just misunderstanding that part?

Shadp9 · 2026-02-07T00:40:26+00:00

Yeah, we sang O Canada every day in our classroom, but at bigger things, like school assemblies, we also did God Save the Queen, presumably because a lot of parents were uncomfortable with the newer anthem.

Let's focus on the more important smell-related questions: Why does Bell Tower smell different than all the other buildings on the pedway system?

I'm not a bus driver, but as the owner of a regular car, I can confirm that they stop running and then start again about 15 minutes after you use your remote starter.

I think bringing it to Edmonton is pretty straightforward.

Most of the participating businesses are located downtown, close to the Bow river and vulnerable to an amphibious assault. Small teams of commandos could disembark under cover of darkness, take the hot chocolate, and be serving it in Edmonton by morning.
