Bruce Frogg (55), Wawakapewin First Nation Man, Identified as Person Shot and Killed by Ontario Provincial Police
  • I'm arguing about this specific article which you claimed isn't really opionated. Maybe some of the other reports do better at being unbiased but leaving out case specifc details, like being armed, while including less important details meant to induce sympathy feels biased to me.

  • Bruce Frogg (55), Wawakapewin First Nation Man, Identified as Person Shot and Killed by Ontario Provincial Police
  • The site is called killer cops which sets a certain tone. I get calling a cop that shoots and unarmed guy over a speeding ticket a killer. Situations like this are much different without enough details.

    The article also provides personal details about Frogg such as he was an outdoorsman and harvested food. This information is not relevant to the case, so why was it provided over information like he was armed and burning down the trailer? My assumption is this information is provided to influence your opinion in a certain direction.

  • G.M. Sold Millions of Cars That Were More Polluting Than Allowed, E.P.A. Says| The agency reached a settlement with the automaker over the sales of S.U.V.s and pickups that emitted excess CO₂
  • They had standard to meet that a vehicle of a certain weight/class must not exceed certain amount of emissions. They made vehicles that didn't meet that standard, shrugged and put them to market anyway because they knew the profits would outweigh any "punishment" fron the spineless regulatory bodies.

    The whoe CAFE standards and the shift in car sizes associated with them should be enough evidence to prove the EPA has failed and become disconnected from its true purposes

  • Tobacco companies are at it again
  • In my experience many people are disconnected from the possible down sides of vaping. Many figure it isn't ciggarettes so it's harmless, which isnt exactly true. Nictotine is still very addictive, even if it had no health concerns just getting financially tied to the substance is concerning. We should defintely be doing more to educate youth about these risks, do more to keep nicotine out of minor's hands, and bring large fines or even jail time for people caught selling to underage users.

  • FDA bans food additive found in citrusy sports drinks and sodas
  • Then we put it in gasoline knowing damn well that the poisionous lead would spew out the exhaust, it took us decades to reverse that decison as well and it only really happened when engine knocking had been resolved.

  • One Neighborhood’s ‘Bizarre Culture War’ Over Bike Lanes
  • Maybe those old people could still use the cycle lane if they had decades of exercising their muscles and joints on a bike instead of sitting in traffic in a car.

    The lane also provides mobility for people too young to drive, unable to afford to drive, or those who prefer not to drive.

    Fuck teenagers who want to get around without their parents though right? Fuck the kids who can safely bike to school though right? The old people can still drive, they didn't rip out the car lane.

  • One Neighborhood’s ‘Bizarre Culture War’ Over Bike Lanes
  • Because they didn't have to pay for that land, the city plows and maintains it, the city repaves it, your partner doesn't complain when your project car leaves oil stains on the curb. So basically entitlement to public land is what they insist on.

  • One Neighborhood’s ‘Bizarre Culture War’ Over Bike Lanes
  • The lanes already exist so in reality I would be using the lanes but my previous comment is the overall sentiment I have.

    "Everyone drives here" is such a biased reason for no bike lanes and the fact it connects kids to schools should make this a non protestable issue. Are you able to protest a school bus stop because your neighbours have kids but you don't?

  • inconsistency with comments

    I've been having some minor issues with comments. Once a comment thread gets longer than 3 or 4 comments, accesing those deeper comment chains becomes very inconsistent/impossible. The "view more" button to see the rest of the comments will sometimes just disappear or do nothing when pressed. When accessing deep threads from my inbox or profile it will start at the top of the comment thread and fail to load/access the deeper comments, including the comment I used to navigate to that thread. Has anyone else had similar issues or found solutions?

    Sort by "hot" is inconsistent and often shows really old posts.

    The past couple updates whenever I'm browing "all" with sort set to "hot" the first few pages of scrolling is accurate but then it turns to posts that are 6months-2years old. This is only after 1-2 minutes of scrolling. Has anyone else had this issue?
