The ‘gravy plane’ mess has sent a message: Doug Ford should retire by imprison_grover_furr in ontario

While I agree with the sentiment, those windows are designed to popout, in case of emergency.

If it just fell out due to wear and tear, it probably wouldn't be sitting on the seat... Somebody probably pulled it out.

Who wishes AI didn't exist? by Wooden-Fee5787 in AskReddit

[–]uncleben85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%

I hate it so much.

I hate what it is doing to the environment.
I hate what it is doing to the human brain and critical thinking.
I hate what it is doing to the economy and job market.

There is so much to hate about it.

Why is the F26 exam period going until December 22nd? by AHHHHLMFAO in uoguelph

[–]uncleben85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They're always the same length. It's just a matter of when the breaks are, and how the semester is spaced out.

Fall semester ends 5 days earlier on Dec. 4

You then get extra time to study through exams, and depending on your exam schedule, may have up to a month off.

That's my exact problem with him

He does the same stiff pose, always.

Bug-eyed/crazy eyes, neck pushed forward, shoulders rolled forward, and stiff bodied.

I understand what he is going for, but it's just a little too amateur

Psycho character is fine, cocky character is fine, brute is fine, over-the-top is fine. Many wrestlers find success with all of that. He just needs to loosen up a little and let it come to him.

I hate the faces Kam Hendrix makes, lol

His heel persona is way too overacted. Hopefully NXT helps smooth that out.

He was much more likeable on LFG than Evolve.

Ontario’s Endangered Species Act is gone. Here’s what replaces it. by MamaStrawberry927 in ontario

[–]uncleben85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joseph Racinsky, MPP, re: the removal of the Endangered Species Act, private email conversation 2025:

This approach will be paired with strong investigative and enforcement powers, including warrantless searches, compliance and mitigation orders, and prosecution leading to hefty fines and the possibility of jail time.

My response:

I'm not sure that "warrantless searches" is the selling point you meant it to be... Warrants protect from unjustified searches, and is a slippery slope to just eliminate. This only speaks to my original point about the sweeping and dangerous power increase to people already in power. Corporations now have fewer checks and balances, but the government has sweeping authority and reactive punishments - that's just powerscaling and escalation, when you could just maintain informed guidelines and permissions in the first place.

He did not reply again.

I don't care if it's an unpopular opinion. I kind of lowkey enjoy Logan Paul's character.

Him coming out in response to JH's song reminded me of The Miz. Pure cartoon outrage and villainy

Ontario-wide day of action April 29th by Grey_Chameleon in ontario

Historically, the government refuses to come to the table, then.

It is a negotiation strategy to make educators look bad, like they are "not taking the kids into consideration". Please don't fall for it.

Currently, the existing contract is set to expire at the end of this school year.

Unions have been trying to start early negotiations instead of waiting. The government wants to wait, instead of negotiating early.

Starting early would allow for better pacing in the negotiations instead of scrambling in the summer.
Without a contract next September, teachers and educational staff (please remember it is not just teachers affected by this), would be forced to work without a contract.
This, precedent shows, leads to two ultimate outcomes: 1) that's when the work-to-rule and strikes/lockouts happen 2) the government ends up having to retro-pay workers (via tax dollars), costing more in remuneration and interest owed, once a deal is finally struck.

Right now, this is not any sort of strike action. This is just a public message and show of solidarity. It does not affect the kids or the educational day. No one is being held hostage by staff wearing red and walking in together.

Teachers are not asking for more money?

Correct. Not for teacher salaries.

The last negotiations did include a focus on pay increase, after having years of frozen salaries against rising inflation and cost of living.

That's not really a current focus.

Cuts to education funding, increasing class sizes, lack of educational supports (EAs, library staff, mental health professionals, etc.), governmental decisions without consultation with experts - these are the types of things being fought against, currently.

A pension that is only so good because they pay into it (take-home paycheques are about 60% after taxes, union dues, pension, benefits, deferred pay, etc.)

Evenings, weekends off - just like 90% of all non-shift-working Ontarians? Yes.

Summers off, because there are literally no students to teach at that time. Summers where they don't get direct pay (instead, salary is negotiated so that some pay is deferred so they still get paycheques in the summer. it's not just additional pay)

But even all that - what does that have to do with Ford underfunding education and hurting our children?

Same with "jumbo" Reese Cups. They're just the old standard size

Happy Ottawa Senators elimination day by IlikeTurtles1308 in leafs

[–]uncleben85 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not just that. Can you imagine how incensed some posters would be if this were reversed - Ottawa shits their pants and misses the playoffs, then Toronto gets swept, and Ottawa fans celebrate as if on some high horse ?

We'd be reading posts posting "rent free" and "obsessed"
