“Heroic man stops being a bigot when something affects him personally”.
Stunning and brave.

Would you miss it? Would any of you miss it?
Could it be that the mounting evidence is demonstrating that the commodification of housing and its increasing use as an investment vehicle is driving the housing crisis?
Nah, must be those damn immigants and red tape thats not letting us build on protected environments!
I guess you’re right. Might as well give up now, put zero effort into making anything better, and simply wallow in my own smug pessimism.
Wild that a country that has such a rich history of same-sex relationships would take this long to legalize it.
People need to be more media litterate and more skeptical of news stories instead of taking them at face value, regardless of Deepfakery. So many articles that pass as “news” are filled with opinion and adjectives designed to ellicit an emotional response.
People need to learn to look at a piece of information and ask questions.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
Even a Fox News article can have some insight into the goings on if you can parse the information from the spin. Deepfakes are just going to be another level of spin, but if people are informed enough, they’ll be able to logically differentiate between a real news story and a damning fake video.
However, that doesnt solve the age old problem of willfully ignorant people and the confirmation bias…
“The the fine is less than the profits, then its just the cost of doing business.”
This is your reminder that Hawaiian Pizza was invented by a Greek immigrant in an Italian restaurant in Canada.
I’ve been saying this for years. These were simple, efficiently built homes to account for a huge influx in housing needs. Why it took us this long to remember a solution that already worked is wild to me.
Sure, there is less space to build in on cities proper, but with how much we have progressed with WFH, it shouldnt be as much of an issue to build outside the core.
Fuuuuuuck caught myself doing this the other day while looking at a map lol.
Weird that AI isnt replacing things like management, CEOs, stock investors, accountants… you know, jobs that tend to be about numbers and efficiency, which you would think AI would excel at.
Instead, we have it skirting copyright by stealing other people works and changing it just enough to not be a direct copy.
I recommend you touch grass. Valuing yourself by imaginary internet points is not going to do you any good.
“Are towels supposed to bend?” Is one of my all time favourites haha.
The issue is trying to use genres as specifically as possible instead of being a broad category that covers a wide range of music.
Metal is the worst for this. The vast, vast majority of people would call everything from Black Sabbath to Metallica to Pantera to Death to Behemoth “metal”, but the genre snobs need to differentiate it all for some reason.
Yet, we’re perfectly okay to call everything from Blue Oyster Cult to Fleetwood Mac to Nickleback “rock”.
Boy, that Chef must have egg on his face.
The Museum of History in Canada has a cool solution to this regarding some of their indigenous artifacts.
They either come to an agreement with the people who the historical item belongs to for the museum to keep it, or they give it back with either a placard explaining why the item is no longer at the museum, or reproduction in its place with a sign explaining that its a repro.
Relevant Dilbert:
It used to be, when there were actual bargains worth fist-fighting over.
Now they jack the prices up leading into November, and return prices to normal with “SALE” in bug red letters, or offer a piddly 10%-15% discount and act like its a door crasher.
Its actually insane how hard the US clings to the death penalty.
