Well yeah, it's not like you'd have a choice. She does not allow insubordination.

A) It's not an analogy, it's a summation of facts.

B) I would put heavy money says F Tony finds this person fairly attractive and bizzarely, this situation hasn't arisen with an unattractive female friend.

C) I've been that asshole, I get it. But personally, a huge part of maturing from a boy to a man was learning the difference between friendship and romance, and that a friendship with an attractive woman who seems super compatible doesn't mean a romantic relationship is the next or best step. (Also, how fucking shitty is this to our lady friends?) It's a weird lesson and not one that everyone learns but my God, the world opens up once/if you do figure it out.

I'd like to be friends but only if we can have sex.

Doesn't really sound like a rock solid friendship there.

Ha, had the exact same "huh, wait what?" Moment.

If we want to recruit and maintain the best while underpaying them and reducing physical overhead, remote work seems ideal.

Maybe you should learn more about how the system functions before demanding changes?

Vaccines are largely done in schools with parents having to opt out.

All you've prosed is to add a weird layer of bureaucracy with no discernible benefit.

Edit: And yes, refusals to vaccinate are already part of someone's record. (This system is already used to contact people who have refused and to offer another round of immunizations etc.)

They already are opt out, not opt in.

Sorry, I'm clearly not understanding your position... Vaccines should be mandatory but also not?

"So, look Indigenous and other marginalized folks... I know we've had some less than great history about mandatory government programs. And yes, childhood education is essential, but if you don't agree to this mandatory medical program we will not allow your child in school."

It's a tricky balance but this article doesn't even attempt to explore reasons we might not be making these mandatory, which to my mind is criminally poor reporting and one of my major issues with the Tyee.

??? What part is speculation?

San Francisco and NYC both implemented rent control decadea ago and are famously some of the most expensive places in the US to live.

I also love that someone downvoted you for pointing put how this has worked out for others. "Boo this person and their flagrant use of facts! That's not nice!"

 

For obvious reasons I'm trying to be more local and cutting out American produce, so I figured a CSA box (Community Supported Agriculture) would be a good move. Unfortunately, DuckDuckGo has given a bewildering collection of results and I've heard some CSAs are less good than others. Have any of you fine folks used any, have any recommendations or anything else that might help?

 

Seeing as they're getting targeted right now and are first on trump's chopping block...

I mean, it's not like we buy lumps of steel but... I dunno, I figure I'd turn it to the wisdom of the crowds. I know steel/aluminum are mostly input products but there have to be finished products from friendly countries/Canada which use steel and aluminum and thus support our industry, albeit indirectly, right?

 

Very well put. Saw it on bluesky, hadn't seen it here. Apologies if this is the wrong community!

 

I'm thinking of my friends and family who aren't on an alternative social media that loves Linux and Star Trek memes. I've been recommending stuff (I'll put in the comments) they can do that I think is easy and helpful but curious to see what your thoughts/recommendations are!

 

Was about to renew my Cypress pass and double checked this.

As far as I can tell, Cypress is owned by Boyne Resorts (Michigan based.)

Seymour seems owned by a local Vancouver family while Grouse is owned by Northland Properties Corporation which started in BC and is headquartered in Vancouver.

Looks like I'll be trying out Seymour next season!
