That's why it's bad policy to think about transit in terms of making a profit. It's a public service, that's the profit, and we all get it.

Not that weird. The kids are the priority, and they should be.

Star Trek has always talked about Starfleet and the Federation as organizations that are worthy of trust. But practically every series has had examples of badmirals and evil bureaucracy, typically with 'our' heroes being the ones to fight against it. From stealing the Enterprise in TSFS to The Drumhead to Section 31 to petty theft Archer to Control and the Zhat Vash to the Illyrians, being and/or fighting against a compromised or infiltrated or just simply bad Starfleet has been a long recurring theme. That's why I loved when they turned that theme on its head in Lower Decks, with an entire episode based around fighting the evil Starfleet ended up superfluous because Starfleet was actually a fundamentally good organization and, as it turned out, the system actually works. I feel like the writers of Lower Decks are the only ones who really believe that...everybody else seems to want to scratch at the surface to see what they feel really lies beneath. Although, having said that, they ended the same season with a badmiral, so idk.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

They only have handicap parking because they were forced to by law. They only have wheelchair ramps because they were forced to by law. They only have accessibility features because they were forced to by law. See where I'm going with this?

If they were really that good to hold on to, why would Costco sell them to you?

Wait till you get older and your fine motor skills get sketchy.

Wow, is Catholicism really ready to enter the 20th century!?

In unrelated news, this corresponds directly to a record low in the both the breadth and the depth of the quantity of fucks I have to give about them and their bad year. Insiders are reporting the level to be at or near zero, and expect that level to maintain, for at least my natural lifespan. Film at 11.

idk if I want an entire instance made up of CBC commenters.

It's been an ongoing plot line that Migleemo is sort of a lemon at counselling.

Is that seriously the most important thing you are concerned about?

We all must have done some pretty amazing stuff in our past lives, to deserve this season we are getting.

This whole situation is really showing me how weak Canada and Canadians are. Yes, this is a dumb law, and Google and Facebook are right to be angry about it. But the hyperbole about how Canadians just won't be able to find any news afterward is embarrassing. It just comes off as lazy, entitled people whining about how their spoonfeeder has weaned them off and now expects them to spoonfeed themselves. Are we really a nation of children? Cmon.

What about shipping plastic? All those pallets wrapped? Or is the burden entirely on the consumer, like usual?

I wonder if we trained an AI on the entire corpus of articles about how Google is gonna kill adblocking, if we could keep these articles going after most people switch uneventfully over to Lite.

I love how they are all about bodily autonomy, until someone wants to use it in a way they don't like.

What if you spent your frozen time, determining the problems of everyone in the world, and solving them? So, when everybody got unfrozen, it was a utopia.

Start using free software now, while you are still on Windows. Whenever you want to do something new, do a search for free software you can do it with. Then when you do finally switch, all the software you've been using is already right there.

Renoviction should involve some sort of lien, discharged when proof of renovations, sufficiently disruptive to need vacancy, are available. If the landlord can't prove they did that kind of work in say, 3 years, then they automatically owe the tenant as if it were a bad faith renoviction. Because, cmon, if they didn't do the work they had to kick you out to do, in three whole years, they evicted you in bad faith.
