Big news headline in Quebec today: Baby got squished by a car in a drive-in theatre. Parents left the baby on the ground while they were picking up their lawn chairs. Baby, on the ground, in a drive-in theatre. God drat people are dumb.

FAUXTON posted:It's weird to see this kind of thing happen in other countries because there's not an immediate lawsuit against the establishment for not putting "caution: obvious things here" signs all over The current public reaction, from online comments: French people: “Who the gently caress leaves a baby on the ground in a drive-in?” English people: “idiot should have looked before reversing!” In conclusion Canada is a land of contrasts.

Page intentionally left blank is great because of the double sided thing, and so that when someone hands me a ton of installed paperwork I know whether there’s a page missing or it’s supposed to be blank. It’s not just a military thing. And half the bullshit y’all complaining about also shows up in the corporate thread. The military ain’t that special.

Those of you who follow my professional adventures know what I mean. That being said, we are hosed.

Eej posted:It's remarkable that the world outside of the USA is a wasteland of women getting raped and the children and elderly being mugged and murdered every day because they don't have guns to protect themselves If any other country had the rate of shooting the US does, combined with the concentration camps and mounting sectarian / political violence, the State Department would have travel advisories out. When’s the last time there was a mass shooting in a developed country? New Zealand and Norway before that? The guy at the Canadian parliament? The US being much more religious than those countries, you’d expect their Thoughts and Prayers to be that much more effective.

Bored As gently caress posted:Sure, compare apples to grapefruits if you want. But they're different cultures who are way less violent than we are because they have 1) largely homogeneous populations, 2) univeral healthcare, 3) way better access to mental healthcare, 4) maternity leave, 5) way less economic inequality, 6) more hope for a career or upward mobility, or hope for a decent life, 7) almost all of them offer free college or university, and 8) on average, all of them have better education systems than we do (K-12). Tell me more about 1)

Eej posted:USA: 14.4% immigrant population, 27.6% non white population There’s an even bigger ethno cultural factor in Canada because of the whole French thing. Hasn’t led to significant amount of violence in a while though (schoolyard fights excluded).

Eej posted:Canada does have public healthcare and much stricter gun laws as well as an official policy of being welcoming to immigration though. This doesn't stop us from having our own incels driving people over on the sidewalk in a van though (but the incel movement may be considered a cultural export from the south anyway). Most of our bad things are import from the south, like cheese whiz, conservatives and bud light.

It’s winter in Australia but they don’t usually get snow. Like it’s summer in Canada, but the thermometer in Kuujjuaq shouldn’t hit 27C. Ever.

psydude posted:I don't know if I'd place pulling down your employee's pants and showing their genitalia to all of their coworkers in the same category as your frat bro pantsing you during chapters. Yeah it’s this. The employer / employee (or more likely customer / supplier, because 1099) power imbalance makes all the difference. If my friend pants me I can turn around and punch them, my boss not so much.

Suspending parliament is normally only done during elections. That’s why we have such short campaigns - the government essentially stops during them.

Wonder Free posted:NHC’s numbers on it say the Recon missions (the ones that go through) increase the intensity accuracy about 40% over the past 40 years or so and the surveillance missions (that fly high and around sampling the air around it) have led to about to about the same increase in track accuracy since we started doing it in the 90’s. Hey you’re doing good work that helps people in a big way, hang in there. There’s a great Michael Lewis Audible Original about the Trump administration loving with NOAA, I highly recommend it. Accuweather is some  bullshit, and I refuse to use their products since I listened to that.Y’all know how obsessed I am with weather so that tells you something.
