Drunk Canuck posted:https://covid19.ontariohealth.ca/booking-home Looks like there aren't many slots available yet (and it's a given the Christmas week is probably low staff) though last times they staggered in bookings. It's a lot easier to get in to reschedule so may as well snag what you can regardless.

B33rChiller posted:My social worker/therapist seemed to legitimately think BYOB was good for me when I discovered it, and shared that with her. "It's a message board just about being chill, and people are nice to each other." She seemed a little confused at first, but agreed I could use more chill. If the overall goal was needing more chill, I get it but this seems a bit like going to a AA meeting that's located inside a bar.

I wholly reject the theory that the experiences of police are about "experiencing humanity at their worst" and it causes them to become bitter cynical assholes. I'm not buying it. Maybe, maybe, that could be true if you're a cop on The Wire. You really going to tell me that the Ottawa PD are having the same experiences as Baltimore? And yet they're still huge pieces of poo poo. The vast majority of police are driving patrol cars around and showing up to take statements after the fact at a convenience store theft or hassling homeless people. This honestly sounds like someone has bought into the copaganda whole-heartedly about them being on the "front lines" and "protecting" us against the hordes of evil. Cops are garbage across North America, there are examples from the tiniest town to the biggest metropolis. Try to find a new theory.

Summer 2020 in Hamilton when we had the big tent city, there was a morning I was working there (maybe around 9 am), when a squad car drove up the street blaring music (Beatles I think) so loud that the cops partner who was riding shotgun has to cover her ears. Dipshit cop was so focused on harassing homeless people he was willing to hurt his partners ears to do it. Edit: this isn’t really a relevant story but this discussion reminded me of it

Drunk Canuck posted:https://covid19.ontariohealth.ca/booking-home Maybe it's because of where I am but I basically can't get in at all. The Ontario portal just redirects me to the York Region portal and vice versa, and every pharmacy I've checked just says nothing is available and will put me on a waitlist.

Hey I've got to disagree with this part, most police interactions with the police are domestic disputes (ie men abusing women and children) and dealing with people in distress due to drugs and mental illness. It's a lovely, lovely job that they aren't properly equipped for because they're society's muscle and aren't taught or selected for empathy. Fidelitious posted:

Not disagreeing with the second part either, but yeah as the guy taking the emergency calls in the first place it's pretty naive to think that this poo poo isn't going down; most of my calls on nights are domestics, suicides, and other mental health crises. Again it's not an excuse for lovely behaviour (see former post re: social workers, paramedics, firefighters, etc) but this stuff is extremely prevalent. You'd be surprised.

As someone with a friend who's a cop, he's told me some harrowing poo poo. Especially here in Winnipeg. It doesn't excuse the pieces of poo poo out there but tons of domestic abuse, kids screaming as their parents beat the poo poo out of each other, people out of their minds on drugs, and other poo poo will gently caress you up without the proper support.

The Wire, in its wisdom, taught us that there are good and bad cops, just as there are good and bad criminals. It’s hard for me to imagine that’s a controversial take now, but here we are.

One of my friends is a cop and we're in a low crime area - the overwhelming amount of cases he deals with is either fent related overdoses and alcohol fueled domestic violence. The worst things he's seen is the bad parenting cases though (outside of the train suicides of course)

Hey if you are gonna quote me, use the whole thing 'same for any first responder, seeing people having the worst day of their lives, at their lowest, or most vulnerable, or worst' Don't just cut it down to appear like I'm calling the people who police interact with 'humanity at their worst' like some thin blue line bullshit Slotducks posted:

It’s hard for me to imagine that’s a controversial take now, but here we are. I was in downtown Toronto working on an office move the weekend of the G20 back in 2010 and was loving kettled, detained and harassed by what seemed like the entire police force and you know what? Every one of those motherfuckers on the street wore a covering over their name tags. They put one of my coworkers in a loving *dog cage* and never bothered making up a charge to press, letting him out after about 8 hours which was later part of a class action law suit. So yeah get hosed LOL.

Isn't the wire about how the system breaks you down and makes you a lovely cop/person even if you start out with the best of intentions? (I'm pretty sure poodle is winding you up)

I'm curious as to which cop on the Wire was meant to be a positive example because the only one I can think of is maaaaybe Lester and I'm pretty sure he still participated in shady poo poo in the later seasons. The rest were all psychos or enablers.

Kinda makes sense, bars can be extremely close contact and any semblance of contact tracing is impossible. At least with restaurants you have mostly single households or at least close contacts sitting at the same table (yes, yes it's airborne but distance still makes some difference)

The theory behind that is that many bars barely have seating and encourage co-mingling with other patrons as opposed to a restaurant that can seat people down at a shielded booth and reasonably expect that the people sitting there may get up to use the washroom once but otherwise mostly stay put.

That's a wonderful theory except for the part where COVID is airborne and omicron is particular contagious.
