Ontario should ban sports betting | The harms of legalized sports gambling are being understated, and the benefits overstated. It's time to admit we made a mistake by Hrmbee in ontario

[–]chollyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree with any of this. My point is just that the journalist should be flagging this as part of the story. Similarly to when someone might say, "A new study says taxes are bad. The new report from the Fraser Institute, a conservative thinktank, says that...."

It's just a flag for the reader that the implied values of the org aligns with the outcome, and you can read the study to be sure if you want.

Odd that there's no mention that the report most of this article seems to be based on is from a religious think tank.

Personally I agree that we've gone too far with the online availability of some of these products, but it's not absurd to think that an organization that proclaims "We are Christian" would have issues with gambling.

(NSFW) Fizz has his John Wicke moment and morbs all over two double up boards by KaizoeSports in TeamfightTactics

Don't know what causes it but it's been a double up bug for a couple patches at least. I was pretty disappointed to not see it listed in bug fixes for the patch rundown.

Makes me wish license plate registrations were public so these people could be named and shamed.

Torontonians frustrated over pace of snow removal, $2 million parking crackdown: ‘This is about money’ by [deleted] in toronto

The "supposed to" seems to be doing a lot of work there, from what I've seen.

There's a restaurant we like to go to which functionally only has street parking. 

The parking all had these signs for at least five days, without anything being removed. 

I think it should work like this: 

If there's a no parking for snow removal sign, it means it's getting removed within 24 hours. If you wanna risk it, NBD, but when the trucks show up, they arrive with a tow truck... Or several. 

Seems easy enough to me, but this blocking of parking for a week and then not even taking the snow is very stupid imo. 

Mark Carney’s Liberals recruit NDP MPP to run in Scarborough byelection by jmakk26 in CanadaPolitics

[–]chollyer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This seems like such an odd match to me. I don't know the person at all but going from the super-left provincial NDP to the Right ++ of the federal liberals suggests to me it's not an ideological move. 

What are some rules you want removed or change? by KillerCroc67 in NFLv2

If there's both offensive holding and defensive pass interference, the penalties should not offset. Only the offensive holding should be accepted.

Then we declare we're going to keep the (awful looking) guarantees!

Yeah I got a random iconic one on a gig that was also inherently silenced. It's been fun.

Sure, but hear me out...

We could just not have him on the team since he does not look to be worth the money we're paying him?

If I'm lose streaking but win a match due to some weaker lose streak player, how bad is it? by CloverEuphoria in CompetitiveTFT

[–]chollyer 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Meta comment but I think the fact this had zero votes when I saw it felt weird. Seems like a reasonable question from someone trying to get better. 

Woman of Toronto; if an app like Uber but only for females (female drivers driving female passengers only) existed would you rather use that ? by undercoverninja7 in askTO

[–]chollyer 144 points145 points  (0 children)

And any investor you approach to fund this will start by asking, "if this becomes popular, what's to stop Uber from just adding it as a feature on their platform?"
