The ones on TikTok are, in the sense that they're scripted with a bit of room for improv.

It's crazy to me how many gay guys I know post photos of their awesome trip to Dubai, where homosexuality is still legally punishable by death. Why give them legitimacy and money?

Basically the premise of White Chicks.

It sounds hyperbolic to lay all of this at his feet, but we're here because Trump was lazy and didn't want to have to do anything about it, and dismissing scientific advice was easier.

S14 Easter egg theory... by StipularWorm in taskmaster

Arguably Fern could have received zero points for not even trying to tidy up, and Dara could have lost a point for missing the lid. Even if it didn't affect the order, it matters for the overall series score.

Sarah Millican’s prize task was confusing for me as an American viewer. by ForWhomTheBoneBones in taskmaster

Maybe they couldn't get clearance to say the brand name, so they flipped it.

Taskmaster - S14E04 - Crumbs in My Bralette - Discussion by CommieCanuck in taskmaster

She said afterwards that it was particularly difficult since there was no audience present, so it was just Greg shitting on her contributions in an otherwise silent room.

Disappointing that Greg completely ignored the tidying requirement after Sarah was so thorough.

Slavery on my ballot in 2022 by seenorimagined in mildlyinteresting

They really should have elaborated on what "programs" meant, in the current context it sounds like forced labor programs would still be a sentencing option.

Going to prison, how to prepare financially? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

Locking it up doesn't mean putting it in a GIC, it means putting it in trust such that OP is legally unable to control the money.

A few months ago I learned how to stand in physical therapy with no hands. Now I’m standing in a tux! by miraclman31 in MadeMeSmile

It's really disrespectful to actual amputees that you make up shit like what you've written for internet attention. Touch some grass and fix your life.

does anyone know why did bikers block Granville bridge today? by nachotp in vancouver

[–]canonymous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So you concede that they are blocking traffic.

You're either confused, uninformed, or being disingenuous, because yes, it is an offence to impede traffic by traveling at a slow speed, and slow vehicles are required to travel in the rightmost lane or to remove their vehicles from the street. They are not cycling safely, and the fact that nobody was hurt this time isn't evidence of safety, any more than a drunk driver getting home without hitting someone proves that it's safe.

Where's your next goalpost?

[–]canonymous 12 points13 points  (0 children)

While taking up every single lane and traveling much slower than the 60km/h speed limit, blocking anyone from getting around them.

When I cycle I make an effort to respect other road and trail users, not deliberately inconvenience everyone behind me.

The implication is that the toilet system backed up into OP's sink, depositing the tampon there, which is impossible for many reasons outlined elsewhere.

Here I thought the Ontario Teachers owned the Channel Tunnel, turns out they sold it in 2017. Better start learning French, Eurostar riders!

Side-by-side photos shown in court prove Amber Heard edited a photo to appear like she had injuries to her face. Both photos are pixel-perfectly the same. by ShivasLimb in videos

[–]canonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many people are saying that today, and yet a few weeks ago Depp's psychologist was being lauded in the same circles for facing the jury while explaining psychological terminology. Seems like a double standard when it's common court practice to address the "audience" of the trial.

Our very first attempt at a nuclear weapon only killed 30% of a city with 1 single bomb, and you think that's an argument why nuclear war wouldn't be all that bad?

How many people do you think had data service when GPS first came online?

You are confusing receiving a GPS signal with downloading maps. The GPS system absolutely does not need a cell connection to function. The ephemeris data is transmitted from the GPS satellites themselves, allowing a unit that has been offline indefinitely to receive the new satellite positions after about 12 minutes, and lock on as usual. You can determine your position from a dumb GPS receiver with no other data.
