yup no more facebook comments means nobody can ever address a cbc journalist ever again by any means whatsoever, and also discussion about articles is now impossible truly the cbc have murdered discourse forever

one problem is even making people use their own names and photos to comment is that boomers are awful people and literally don’t care if you know they’re a racist/bigot

I heard on Reddit (ya ya I know) that the Leila vaccination site was doing walk ins so I jumped on my bike and headed on over. Turns out they don't open until 1pm. It's 1020 and there's already a line forming so if I leave the chances I get my 2nd dose drop significantly. So I'm sitting on the ground with my emotional support bicycle waiting. At least I brought food water and a battery pack for my phone. This is loving bullshit. I can't believe in order to get vaccinated in a timely fashion you gotta camp in line like you're trying to get concert tickets.

I did think it was kind of bullshit that for a while you could comment on stories except if they involved First Nations, Inuit, or Metis people. I think there were some other "sensitive" subjects that got the same treatment maybe too, or was that just on a case by case basis? If a news site supports comments then you should have the ability to argue pointlessly against idiots just like anyone else, not be prevented from having your take because racism against you is too hard for the CBC to deal with. But yeah, I've been saying for a while either go one way or another with it and honestly this is probably the right way. odiv has issued a correction as of 16:47 on Jun 16, 2021 |

If they allow comments they should have kept it all anonymous. There's no way I'd publicly yell at the retired boomer spouting racism if he could see my real name and then find my employer and harass me in real life because he's got nothing to lose.

There was no mention of a second dose appointment when I got my first two weeks ago and when I look at the Ontario vaccine portal it seems like it says you can’t even book one until 28 days after your first, but when I looked at it again more carefully today, apparently you can click through to book later… and apparently I already have an appointment booked for sept 21 that they didn’t tell me about.

Lol apparently they're letting in 80 first dose recipients then a 2nd dose recipient and then 1 2nd dose for every 40 1st doses. I'm 2nd in line. Theres about 150 lined up for their first dose and at least 400 lined up for their 2nd. Glad I stayed in line this is super dumb.

You can switch doses from Pfizer to Moderna now, online or by phone call. Friends of mine did it and got their appointments from July 10 moved to June 20th, in Winnipeg.

I would add that Jesse's point that reporters are looking in the comments section for immediate feedback is lunacy. You think any serious reporter is gonna have a change of mind based on that slur sandwich?

I can't remember what outlet it was, but I remember reading about someone who was expected to both moderate the comments section and engage with it on her own articles. As a female journalist covering something like video games, though it could have been general tech news. Those places run so lean and value "engagement" so much that it's probably not an common job component. Ugh.

2nd dose in my veins now I can stream in HD on my phone! There were about 800 people in the 2nd dose lime when I walked out. Now just you watch tomorrow they're going to announce that mixing AZ and Pfizer eventually makes your head explode.

The King's Head owns as a venue for Fringe because you can enjoy good food and drink while watching the show and it's going to suck if it folds and is replaced by something lovely. Also DariusLikewise posted:appropriate deez nuts

Kings Head loving rules and is a goddamn legit pub. I’m missing watching Euro Cup there right now. glad their GoFundMe is doing well. the owner is top notch and always is super friendly. The cook at the kings head, last I checked, is a trinadadian guy (one of his cousins used to be married to my friend) so ummm we’re supporting someone good. And anyways, we got time for other places too like Cilantros on Gateway which is easily the best Indian food in the city.

"It's great, I have fun there" yeah, we get that- the frivolity is the point of why it doesn't need more money than they asked for vs any number of actual charitable causes in the city. A bar can close and old owners can open a new one, chefs can go anywhere, literally everything about it is interchangeable and replaceable.
