But I think my old one is still talking in a box somewhere.

That was beautifully written. A delightful read.

Yes but also he just hates anyone with less money than him. Ontarians are struggling to find any form of affordable shelter. This isn’t the first way ontario has made it illegal to be poor.

I was shocked on my commute to work last week when a couple blocks worth of bike lane had broken glass strewn about.

I just can't stop wondering if it was on purpose you know? Normally cars are parked or pedestrians are walking in the bike lane so it seems counter intuitive if it was on purpose.

I mean all winter people were shovelling snow directly into the bike lanes so I'm pretty pessimistic at this point.

I love commuting by bike! I just wish it felt safer.

Epstein related news is always hard to read but these paragraphs really aren't sitting well with me.

Monday’s settlement stems from claims filed last year by an unnamed woman, using the pseudonym Jane Doe, that the bank knowingly benefited from and facilitated Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. The woman, who alleges she was raped and trafficked, sued on behalf of a “large number” of other victims of that operation.

“We all now understand that Epstein’s behavior was monstrous, and we believe this settlement is in the best interest of all parties, especially the survivors, who suffered unimaginable abuse at the hands of this man,” JPMorgan said in a separate statement Monday morning.

The first paragraph says JPMorgan "knowingly benefited from and facilitated Epstein’s sex trafficking operation."

But the next paragraph says “We all now understand that Epstein’s behavior was monstrous,"

So my main question is who exactly are the people who just found out that benefiting from sex trafficking others/minors is monstrous? and what on earth took them so long?

Every time I hear about rights being taken away I become more bold about my queerness.

Same with my straight cis partner. He actually begged me to paint a trans flag on his banjo because the main online banjo forum was being anti-trans and he was like "Well I don't want people in public thinking I'm a bigot just because I play banjo"

Granted we're a straight passing Canadian couple so these new anti-trans laws haven't directly affected us but he's wholeheartedly an ally and I've identified as bi for as long as I can remember so we do what we can to push back against anti lgbt (or generally bigoted) behaviour.

Well you've got to remember that these big and sudden changes are great because they benefit the ruling class which the conservatives will eventually become once they've pulled their bootstraps tight enough.

It's just basic logic.

I haven't used a Meta product (or twitter) in years. I have no plans on going back. Neither of these businesses inspire confidence.

Does this mean everyone who's been banned from r/Conservative can post freely today?

The methodology is discussed in the article.

[Here] (https://twitter.com/MatPiscatella/status/1667215771423105029) is a tweet embedded in the article that explains how the data was collected.

While reflecting on our personal experience is useful it is important to acknowledge that our experiences are anecdotal and do not necessarily demonstrate truth.
