'An unfortunate waste of resources': Ontario woman facing criminal charge following water gun incident
  • If its some rando at the park spraying liquids of unknown origin on strangers, maybe calling the cops is reasonable. Calling the cops on a neighbour at a party for spraying you accidentally while following a child, overreaction. I hope they have any more parties and specifically ban that jerk neighbour's who called the cops.

    NDP announcing it will tear up governance agreement with Liberals
  • Young Men have largely been abandoned.

    There are many reasons for this, but it still hurts when you need help and kindly get told to get lost because we don't have supports for men and boys.

    Canadian university cities facing surprising rental market downturn
  • Oh wow, its almost like every thing has gotten too 'expletive ridden rant expensive. What did they expect to happen with the ever increasing costs of everything? For everyone to just keep making money ad infinitum.

    Child rapist ex-cop’s 10-weekend US jail sentence called ‘epitome of injustice’
  • “This sentence is the epitome of injustice and a dangerous nod to child sexual predators letting them know, ‘No worries, we won’t go too hard on you,’”

    This seems like its missing a pretty obvious point. Its not that the judge is going easy on a child rapist. The judge is going easy on a cop, who just so happens to also be a fucking child rapist. This cop, and the judge both deserve to be in jail for the rest of their lives.

  • That it damn well is. Those rules are written in blood. I'm sad to say I knew people that didn't follow the rules at place that didn't care. May they rest in peace.

    "This is how it's supposed to be done, but this is how we really do it."
  • Which I think its important to point out isn't an endorsement. It means that we in the west should be doing everything we can to enforce our saftey standards on products sold in our countries, and if that isn't possible then we should be bringing the manufacturing back onshore.

    Thoughts?
  • As an addition any company that's 'too big to fail is also to big to exist and needs to be broken up. Where thats not practicle then it needs to be nationalized and operated as a non-profit/crown corporation.

    I think corporate ownership of intellectual property and their abuse and underpayment of artists is a far bigger concern than individual piracy.
  • Agreed. It's not that I belive that the copyright holder shouldn't have some time period that they get all rights to an ip. It's that the current standard of lifetime plus 70 years is batshit fucking crazy.

    I tend to support 20 years or less. Long enough to turn a good profit, short enough that someone who grows up with a piece of ip as part of the culture has rights to use it to their own ends.

    You like repairing microwaves.
  • If I understand it the ceramic of the magnatron can contain beryllium. Inhaling or contacting beryllium can cause beryllicosus, lumps in the lungs and body, not fun. That said if you don't damage the magnetron you should be fine on that front.

  • They also fail to mention that the cost of materials today is wildly lower making larger homes easier to achieve. Not to also mention advances in building techniques.

    Steam users have spent $19 billion on games they’ve never played
  • I just want to point out how incredible it is that in today's age we have this incredible amount of entertainment available. Even if we apply Sturgeons law that's still a fill years worth of solid games. He'll, do it twice. That still means there's at least 5 bangers in that mess, and I find it incredible that most all of that content is recent!

    early birds
  • As the opposite to this it takes me a solid month to get to a point where getting up for work at 8 doesn't kill me. It takes all of an afternoon nap to flip back to my preferred sleep pattern of 2am to 10am. I CAN get up early, me and my meatsuit really don't seem to want to though.
