Just finished "The dispossessed", for the xth time starting on the next which according to this ordering is " the word for world is forest". I've read left hand of darkness also before but the other books on the hanish cycle I haven't so figured I'd do the lot.

The dispossessed is very progressive for being published in 1974!

In fact forget the windows!

smart psychologist

Common, too much credit

This sounds broken and stupid, but I think it might be the system working well. I don't think we want stand your ground laws like in Florida.

Self defence is allowed, but only so far as to defend yourself. You can't go maim someone once your outside of danger. Also this doesn't mean the guy is guilty, just charged.

It's pretty nuanced: https://lois-laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-46/section-34.html

Even the post points this out:

"What would be unreasonable," former police officer Dan Jones told CBC News Network, "is as you've got them subdued on the ground, already under control, continuously hitting them, or hurting them, or stabbing them."

Hate this title, how about:

"A novel by author Lena McDonald, accidentally leaves AI prompt in published version."

Aren't there penalties for breaking contract?

provincial and federal governments announced more than $22.3 million in funding to bring high-speed Internet

Can we get our 22.3 million + interest back then? Seems like it might be time to make it a public company again.

Bell Canada parent company BCE awarded its executives more than $5 million after announcing it was laying off 4,800 employees.

Fuck this company

I could see someone seeing that hat and assuming it's a MAGA hat, and kicking the guy out -- and the security guards "just doing their jobs".

It still sucks, and i'm glad they said sorry

I don't know who this guy is, but his response seems ultra shitty.

Wondering if everyone else thinks this would have been a reasonable response: "it was a different time, black face wasn't seen as raciest in the circles i kept, i apologize for any offence i caused, it won't happen again"

As a parent, this is a parenting/personal issue, fuck off and please spend my money doing useful things (like supporting health care, or housing) not attempting to protect my children.

review bombing them and calling for boycotts because they raised their prices is fucking bullshit.

Just like you've stated your opinion here, they also can and should do that.

I wish every gamer had to work through crunch on at least one game

This is silly, developers shouldn't put up with crunch, but the blame for this doesn't lie with the customers, but instead with the corporation exploiting them.

You seem to be attacking the customer, and commiserating with the employees, but completely ignoring that somewhere all the value of the enterprise is being extracted. All in favour of status quo, this is terrible for everyone who actually works on the game, or pays for the game.

no please no

The whole "article"

Canada Post reported a before-tax loss of $254 million for its second quarter. Revenue dropped by $78 million, or six per cent, year-over-year. Canada Post announced a transformation plan in June that targeted the e-commerce market for parcel delivery but ruled out staffing cuts.

Canada post costs money to run, it doesn't lose money, just like our hospitals and schools cost money, they aren't lost we are paying for these things so we have a nice place to live.

It's a small thing, but it's a huge difference of meaning.

If there was anything else at all in the article explaining the increase being unnecessary then maybe...
