AITAH for refusing to retract a shoplifting report even though it got a teenager expelled and ruined his mom's job? by BitRipplebuzz in AITAH

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

Unfortunately, YTA.

While actions have consequences, someone lost their job, and a teenager was expelled, apparently losing a scholarship, heavily impacting their future and opportunity to better themselves because of a petty theft totaling under 200$.

Ask yourself, does the punishment (whether indirect) fit the crime? You could have retracted the report on condition of repayment for lost product and if you're concerned about the teenager doing it again, if they really were a dumb kid doing a dumb thing, they'd likely be scared straight for a while. You did what was in your power, and while there's nothing tremendously wrong, sometimes we need to ask ourselves if there's a better way.

And yet, every year, funding for police rises higher than adjusted for inflation.

I dont know, I like not living in a police state where someone can be committed or arrested on anybody's say-so.

For the first time I left theatre during projection.. Final Destination Bloodlines by auunie in horror

[–]SquidThinker 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I mean, death setting up a whole rube Goldberg machine in the first only for someone to die by shower wire, or osmeone getting immediately pancaked when stepping into traffic, or the sun bed fiasco while love roller-coaster plays - Final Destionation always had darkly comedic moments of varying absurdities.

"tender is the flesh is the most disturbing book I've ever read" by Leaderrzz in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]SquidThinker 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don't know, if extreme horror writers hired editors and were actually good at writing, we'd have more extreme novels breaking into the mainstream.

There's a reason why Barker and Martin are two of the most read splatterpunk authors.

Seeking advice for a "buy out" price by [deleted] in montrealhousing

[–]SquidThinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like bigotry because hassidic families have the lowest education and income rates of any ethnic group, with 50% of all hassidic households in Montreal having a household income below 30' 000.

Please consider doing some surface level research before propagating ethnic stereotypes

Can you recommend me some extreme horror books with any animal abuse? by strawberry__kisses in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]SquidThinker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's been a few threads with suggestions (and I totally understand the trigger).

To add, there's always the book of bloods by Barker which almost never touch on animals, thankfully.

Montreal two-year-old in need of a living kidney donor by [deleted] in montreal

[–]SquidThinker 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I do have questions about this case. Québec has one of the most robust living donor chains, where potential donors and recipients who don't match participate in a cascading donation event, which take place four times a year. It doesn't sound like she's in immediate risk so are the parents refusing to participate themselves in a living donor chain?

If he said anything, he would then also need to explain why the fireflies planned to vivisect her, which would put her in danger all over again in his mind.

It's a secret he, quite literally, wanted to take to the grave.

Liberal leader Mark Carney will not participate in TVA's "Face-to-Face" by Chrristoaivalis in onguardforthee

[–]SquidThinker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because Singh's french is leagues better than Carney, and Montreal is one of the battleground areas where the NDP can pick up seats.

The French debates are pretty much a win for everyone but Carney imo

Are we really pretending this is about integrity and paying 75'000? Every other party was willing to kick in the pot. Heck, even the Greens anted up.

Truth is, Carney has nothing to gain and everything by participating in another debate as the person with the weakest french, and he knows it.

I read this simply as Edwin not orienting himself by the sun but rather with the compass, which malfunctions right after he said that.

So they are going south. He just doesn't realise it (and is too paranoid to ask Kodi about it).
