This is simple-munded nonsense.

"You're either with us or against us."

It's binary thinking garbage.

The point is that a version of you born and raised in different circumstances could like it, so your insistence that it's impossible for you to find something in sports entertaining seems false and like a limit you have imposed on yourself, not an absolute unchanging truth.

Lmfao, so now he's not allowed to do or say anything to influence international relations unless it has your personal stamp of approval?

Not every statement is designed to appeal to you personally.

If years from now you don't vote for Carney because of this tweet, everyone will look at you extremely confused.

This is just ragebait from OP, nothing more.

He's literally praising him to try and convince Trump to keep supporting Ukraine.

That alone is good enough reason.

Lmfao, "the best path forward is one of naiivey doing whatever seems most right to outside observers".

Again, give up the rageahol, and grow up.

Lol everyone in this thread is acting like an outrage addicted moron.

Learn how to play politics dumbasses, sometimes it involves doing and saying distasteful things.

Grow up.

How does that sound stupid? It's literally OPs point and goes to show how flexible and unfixed interests are.

Meanwhile other idiots in this thread are insisting that they were born as non baseball fans and that can never be changed by anything ever, despite the fact being that if they were born in a different context they may very well have been.

They can do pre-fabricated architecture, but they haven't cracked it.

Current prefabricated construction (especially in the context of homes / housing) is still limited in terms of customization and/or requires a huge amount of manual architecture / engineering work, and the consumer facing customization software is still pretty garbage.

People still often use contractors because they want the level of customization they bring, even when off the shelf options are available.

Don't get me wrong I have massive faith in prefab construction in terms of infrastructure projects like bridges and elevated guideways etc where you have a design team doing them all up front and sending them off to be made at a factory and assembled on site, but I haven't seen anything in terms of home construction that seems revolutionary from prefab yet.

 

Business owners on Bathurst are running an astroturf campaign using AI generated videos of fake people to try and stop on-street parking being turned into dedicated transit lanes.

They claim they just want their voices heard, when in reality they're upset that others' collective voices are louder than theirs. They also make nonsense statements like it shouldn't be trade-off, when it inherently is since there is limited street space on Bathurst.

The owners of Summerhill Market seem affiliated with the group but are trying to pretend they're not, and the owner of Minerva Cannabis appears to be one of the leaders of the group, and decision makers behind the AI videos.

Don't buy those crappy plastic bag-clips to hold chip bags, flour bags, etc closed. They're unsatisfying, they wear out and bend, and they just add more plastic pollution to the world.

Instead buy more binder clips. They're made from spring steel, they're strong as hell, they almost never wear out, they can be used to close bags, as small clamps, as hangers for almost anything in a pinch, and they're amazing for building pillow / blanket forts.

I have some from my grandma that she bought 30 years ago and they work just as well as the ones I bought a year ago. The only risk with them ever is rust, and you can just scrub that off with vinegar, add a brush of paint and it's fixed.

Truly some of my favourite robust little items.

 

I can't be the only reddit migrant who often instinctually goes to a given community by typing /r/community, only to be 404d. If the /r/ path isn't being used for anything else, is it possible to have it dynamically redirect to /c/ instead?

 

The federal New Democrats backed Conservative demands Wednesday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau take part in a televised "emergency meeting" on carbon pricing with Canada's premiers.

The federal carbon price is not the "be-all, end-all" of climate policy, and New Democrats are open to alternative plans presented by premiers, NDP environment critic Laurel Collins said Wednesday.
