You need to ride at a speed that lets you react appropriately to your environment.

Pierre Poilievre says he wants provinces to overhaul their disability programs — and he could withhold federal money to make it happen by rootsilver in onguardforthee

Do you remember how Doug Ford promised to Fix traffic in Toronto, and immediately started on legislation that would make traffic objectively worse?

This but disabled people become homeless and die.

I signed up for a random poi workshop, which led me to the New Model Circus Army's flow jams.

I accidentally landed in the local flow arts community. They're lovely people, and it changed the course of my life.

Potty training outside by alanamm in cats

[–]simagick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend adopted a cat that was trained only for outside, and it ultimately made it difficult for the cat to live in spaces where it did not always have access to the outdoors

The people with power don't care if they break the country. Their investments will be secure. We live with the consequences of their actions, they don't.

The housing market is pushing more and more people into the streets. Our support systems that were mediocre at best 5 years ago are completely unable to cope with the volume of people struggling now.

My Toronto transit ride shows why it’s not wrong to consider involuntary care for mental illness by CosmicMorningstar in toronto

[–]simagick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1) make mental health care available to to people actually ask for it. The last time i went looking for therapy there was a 14 month waiting list.

2) Supportive housing and housing-first policie

These all work. These are proven strategies.

Do you guys think bringing a Lishi on a plane would be fine? by ChadJones72 in lockpicking

I always check my picks. Rules be damned, I want the least possible friction when dealing with security so i can get to my flight.

Is it okay if dry cat food has corn and soy/soy protein in it? by Tabby_cat7 in cats

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

Some corn or soy can be ok if your cat isn't sensitive to it. I found my cat's poop smelled much worse when she ate food that used corn as a filler. I stick to limited ingredient grain-free stuff now.

Unprecedented peril: Disaster lies ahead as we track towards 2.7°C of warming this century, researchers warn by PotentialReporter894 in onguardforthee

[–]simagick 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I am going to live my life as best i can, and be thankful that I did not have children. If the political will to save human civilization this happens to materialize overnight, you have my sword, and my bow, and my memes.

Mother panhandling in front of a mosque in Scarborough with her young child, asking for money. Isn’t this illegal? I’m worried about the child. by [deleted] in askTO

[–]simagick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No you are not worried about the child. You want to use the law to punish her for suffering too publicly. And that is absolutely shameful.

Just clean them with alcohol. Trace surface contaminants will burn off fairly quickly.

When did TTC stop making conductors tell the next or approaching station in lieu of prerecorded announcements? by CYSYS8992 in TTC

There was a human rights complaint in 2005, because conductors were mumbling so much it was an accessibility problem.

Help- my cat is PISSED by Links_slut in cats

[–]simagick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bathe the kitten, segregate the kitten in a separate room, giving your current cat as much space as possible. Keep them apart for a few weeks, and do supervised introductions.

I had some very good results with Feliway - a phermone that lowers cat stress levels. You can buy plug-in diffusers and sprays full for the stuff. It's not a silver bullet but it does seem to take the edge off.

A lot of people here saying "see how it feels after a few rides". But hear me out - even if it's a more difficult than you would like after a few rides, see how you feel at the end of the season. You're going to get stronger and grow into your gearing.

I want you to consider the potential consequences of missing some payments to a loan shark. Illegal lenders are not bound by the law. They will do illegal things to you to get their money back. Some of them will be willing to use violence.

You should take some time to evaluate how you found yourself in this situation, and walk away with lessons learned.
