That there's something inherently special about me that makes me able to program....

... Yes...patience and interest.

Honestly they just need an enemy to distract from real potential solutions because solutions are hard. They did the same thing with firearms.

What an asshat indeed.

This is a really important point. I've already seen this when talking with people. And it's also really hard to differentiate the "immigration is good in moderation" sentiment from the "immigrants are ruining the country" sentiment.

Because in the proper numbers, immigration keeps our country alive by filling in gaps and growing the economy. But if the numbers are too high, we have more competition for work and housing and all our other economic resources.

I think nowadays the narrative is seems to be "immigration is always good and if you say otherwise you're a bigot". But we should certainly make sure we are intentional about how many people we bring in because we want our country to be the best it can be for everyone in it and everyone entering it.

That's not overkill. That just seems logical to me

I simply don't understand people not taking ice seriously. Especially when half the lakes don't even have ice on them at all!

I'm not surprised. I got shingles as a healthy man in my 20s. I was told it was likely related to having COVID a few months before, because of how it harms your immune system.

If it happens to me more I may have to do the same

 

Does anyone know what the deal is with Readarr? They say they are having issues with their metadata provider so I can't search books. Does anyone know?

I just wish that the general public and the government were educated on existing firearms laws and regulations in Canada. Assault weapons and high capacity magazines have been illegal here for a very long time. I don't like politicians trying to score points on issues that aren't actually issues, the public just isn't informed about them.

Yeah I totally understand the idea. And I hope it helps us have more housing. But it sucks to know that it might also make it easier for more slum lords to exist.

It's crazy that our government just removed taxes for new apartment buildings, making it even more profitable for these corporations. I know we need to do something about the housing crisis but this just doesn't seem right at all...

"Work it in" is very important! If you don't, it will splatter everywhere and collect a bunch of dust and turn to gunk!

This seems like a pretty reasonable take.This article does seem intentionally devisive. From the very beginning, its premise was that anyone supporting this bill is automatically pro-life, and uses that as justification to dismiss all conservative MPs. It jumps to huge conclusions based on very little.

I don't understand those disagreeing with you. If you heard a story about a woman who was assaulted, any reasonable person would be angry about that. Would you not be even more angry if you heard that she was pregnant with full intent to have the baby?

We all treat pregnant women as special. Because a wanted pregnancy is very special. Anyone assaulting someone who is pregnant should get the maximum punishment the law allows.
