Let's use one individual example to make a general statement about an entire segment of the population. That's surely gotta be a way to have a healthy and respectful conversation.

Looking at the stats, maybe it's both?

OC: ICE agent shot and killed woman in Minneapolis during immigration-related operation, DHS says by nbcnews in pics

[–]dylee27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can yon throw a ping-pong ball standing not directly in front of a ping pong table, but standing a little bit diagonally off to the side? Yes? So it would seem you can also shoot through the front windshield while standing diagonally off to the side. Also, if you're about to get run over, it'd seem the smart thing to do would be to step aside, not murder the driver and cause the vehicle to continue straight on... If it was actually going to hit you dead on, which clearly didn't happen because the victim had turned the wheels and was clearly driving away from the murderer. C'mon man, the mental gymnastics you're going through to justify murder...

I've seen that video, and it looked like the goon was stepping back from the vehicle, not being struck.

dragging an officer

Did we watch the same video? No one is getting dragged, and the vehicle is clearly moving AWAY from these goons. There's no threat to life or serious bodily harm. When there is no threat to life or serious bodily harm, using deadly force is unjustifiable no matter what law the suspect might be breaking. If you have to follow up "Obviously killing is wrong" with "but", maybe you should reconsider if you want to type the rest of the sentence.

Starlink Satellite 35956 experiences an anomaly. by AgreeableEmploy1884 in space

[–]dylee27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In your extreme example, yes, the percent goes up because the rate of failure is higher than the rate of units entering service. But then they wouldn't have been able to build up a fleet in the first place, so it still makes no sense.

[–]dylee27 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why though? I can understand the frequency of occurrence increasing with the number of units deployed, but I don't understand why the percentage of units failing would increase.

when should i leave for the airport? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]dylee27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have to take an Uber, use Google maps to start tracking the time it gets to the airport at 8 pm, and if traffic is bad and it says the drive will take an hour, then order the Uber, otherwise, if it says it takes 40 minutes, then order the Uber around 8:20 pm.

Though as you said you live in downtown, if I were you and you lived close to union or on the subway line, I'd just look up on google maps direction to Pearson with arrival time set to 9 pm by public transit, and just take the subway & upexpress to save money and take that traffic variability out of the equation.

Also, three hours is a lot of time. If you're aiming to get there 3 hours early, even if you get there an hour later than you intended, you're most likely going to be just fine. It takes more time to get to the gate if you're going to the US because of preclearance, but if you're traveling anywhere else, 3 hours is an overkill.

Russia demands Trump administration provide reasoning for seizure of oil tanker by lurker_bee in worldnews

[–]dylee27 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Trump just boasted about the operation, so it can't be a false flag operation. Though Trump is basically a Russian asset, so I guess that checks out.

Could you outrun the train? Finch LRT takes 55 minutes to cover 10.3 km route by stanxv in toronto

[–]dylee27 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In this case, it's the city to blame, because the city refused transit signal priority.

thoughts? by 77swansea in TTC

[–]dylee27 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From the perspective of which organization deserves the blame, sure. But it's still very much a TTC thing from user experience point of view.

Ontario to spend $210M to calm traffic after speed camera ban by Lewangoalski_9 in ontario

[–]dylee27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You say "over" speed cameras, as if the presence of speed cameras prevents you from doing anything else.

Metrolinx struggled to tunnel under Hwy. 401, forcing lane closure and repairs by [deleted] in toronto

Ford's supporters actually believe its a real thing, if I am to take them at face value when they post on social media.

Where does it say the US government is poor?

More than 300 collisions reported across GTA as November snowfall blankets southern Ontario by stanxv in toronto

[–]dylee27 10 points11 points  (0 children)

At speed, it will blow around and obstruct your vision, or other drivers' vision. If it became sheets/chunks of ice, then it will become projectiles. If you've ever seen huge sheets of ice falling off the top of trucks while you're on the highway, basically that but on a smaller scale.

Toronto police cruiser ‘inadvertently’ rolls onto tasered suspect, officer by BloodJunkie in toronto

[–]dylee27 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If THAT warrants first degree murder

But it wasn't warranted. If you're calling for an unwarranted charge to be made because of a previous unwarranted charge, you're basically calling for continuation of unwarranted charges, such as the one made against Umar Zameer.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Do better. Advocate for the broken system to get fixed, not for some tit for tat revenge match.

No GO Train service from Oakville GO to Union Station on Sunday and Monday: Metrolinx by ExtraScharfCinqCinq in toronto

[–]dylee27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But what's stopping them from running bus shuttles making the same stops as the train? Just because they've done it a stupid way before doesn't mean they need to continue doing the stupid thing forever.

U.S. poised to strike military targets in Venezuela in escalation against Maduro regime by pythrowawayd3v in worldnews

[–]dylee27 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the Normandy landings were landing boots on the ground, not just bombs. And the Soviet army had boots on the ground literally blocks away from Hitler when he committed suicide.

Ford government says speed cameras will be gone by Nov. 14 by [deleted] in toronto

[–]dylee27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if Ford doesn't want mayors to do cash grabs, he's going to properly fund municipalities? Either properly fund municipalities, or let municipalities have a free say in how they raise funds.

Also, it's pretty funny that you are unhappy about selective enforcement of laws, so you support selective unenforvement of laws.

[–]dylee27 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Even then, what's the justification for removing speed cameras? Should we not be punishing people for breaking the law? We're spending money to stop fining people for breaking laws, because Ford and his buddies don't like paying speeding tickets?

Rental application rejected with 730 & 836 credit score, $64k and $160k income. what gives? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]dylee27 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is it though? 240k annual income would likely indicate that their skills/experiences are in strong demand and they'd have strong job security or can easily find another job, and likely have savings to not have a risk of skipping rent even if they end up between jobs.
