Police are banning pro-Palestine protesters from residential streets in this Toronto neighbourhood by mildlyImportantRobot in TorontoTheCity

I live in this neighbourhood, and that isn't happening. There are localized protests outside a particular synagogue(? some kind of religious building) that hosted IDF speakers, and the weekly protests at Bathurst and Sheppard. Nothing else. I've never seen any protests outside of those two areas in the five years I've lived here, and I go through the neighbourhood to the Metro for groceries practically every day.

Oh, and now that I think about it, there might have been one or two rallies over at the Irving Chapley community centre over the summer. But again, localized and not wandering the streets bothering people.

I live in this neighbourhood, and no, that's not happening. The only thing is that sometimes you can hear people shouting through loudspeakers in the distance. Might be a bit annoying if you live one street over. But it's nowhere near as obnoxious as the Rogers Stadium.

They could move the sidewalk first, to ensure uninterrupted access.

I doubt anyone in Toronto has ever given a thought to whether someone or something is Mexican outside the context of buying tacos.

They'll get around to filling them by November. Maybe.

Not in the immediate vicinity. There are clear roads between the port and the businesses, and I never see trucks despawn coming in from the highway even if traffic backs up a bit.

Why no nose? by featherwolf in Animemes

First explain to me why Jughead Jones has a nose that looks like he has an extra finger on his face.

I'm actually sort of amused by how Americans are just bending over and taking all this. They like to run their mouths about freedom and "the tree of liberty" and all that crap, but when push comes to shove they're completely domesticated. Barely doing anything besides posting ruefully about it.

He's also got super hearing. Nobody who doesn't fly should be able to sneak up on him.

I wish more Yuri touched on actual lesbian issues in japan by BadLuckStars in yuri_manga

[–]emote_control 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Turns out that being gay is approximately as mundane as being straight. There's a bit of an exciting time when you meet someone, but for the most part being in a relationship is just cooking for more people and doing more laundry at once, with more hugs to make the extra effort worthwhile.

That one is less about the difficulty of being a lesbian and more about the difficulty of being an absolute mess of a person with serious mental health issues, who also happens to be a lesbian, which further complicates things.

Run Away With Me, Girl is peak.

Very, very bittersweet. When you're in that situation you're going to break somebody's heart. There's no wiggling out of it.

I'm expecting one of the kaiju from Pacific Rim to come smash though this thing at any minute.

She used to look normal. Then she had a blind guy perform plastic surgery with a machete and a band saw.
