Sign for “whites-only” moms and tots group in Metro Vancouver sparks outrage
  • I think the sign is racist as hell from the undertones it gives off. However there are plenty of black only, indian only, jewish only etc baby groups. No one seems to bat an eye at them. I would just like an answer to why segregation imposed by certain groups is acceptable and not others.

  • Pretty much how I feel, when your 18 do whatever you want. My FIL is a teacher, he said 30% of his 6th grade class last year claimed to be transgender. That's statistically impossible. I'm just advocating that minors wait until their adults before making such a serious decision.

  • It’s all a scam, don’t even try to tell me it’s useful
  • Lol I had bitcoin back in the day when I bought 100mg of thc gummies for what would be today 200k in bitcoin. Don't act like we were clairvoyant on its rise. Most people wanted it to go from USD to BTC and back within the day as a conduit for illegal affairs. No one who held on to a large amount was some market forcaster half the time they just forgot about. I was mining back then aswell before assics no one in that mining community was of the attitude that it was an investment they just knew the current price did the math and thought they could turn a profit, only saving any when frankly their profit went to negative and they decided to sit on it and pray.

    I just find it funny that you frame it as people had some grand plans from the get go. No we were all young kids selling and buying drugs trying to grift while it was profitable. The early silk road fourms basically looked like wall street bets.

    Im now an adult and I own 0 crypto besides whats been lost to a forgotten password. Its entire utility erroded away the moment exchanges gog audited from IRS and people need to stop pretending it was/is something its not.

  • Taiwan hits back at Elon Musk claim that it is ‘an integral part of China’ and teases him over Beijing’s Twitter ban
  • It essentially is calling someone a communist supporter. In 1956 Hungry had an uprising against the soviet union (USSR) communist rule. The soviets used tanks to crush the revolutnaries swiftly and used a similar tactic in 1968 to quell similar events in Czechia. When members of the communist party of Great Britain showed support for these actions it became common in GB to refer to them as tankies referencing the attack on hungry. The term has now expanded its use from exclusive to brittish political discourse to more global/universal label for a sympathizer to opressive communist regimes.

  • Peasants
  • For flights under 4 hours I don't personally see the bennefit, but the longer you're in the air the more worth it becomes. On international flights business class can be the difference between being crammed in for 12 hours and being able to lay down like a bed.

  • Well this aged like milk.
  • We all need to remember online spaces like reddit generally lean younger and more liberal. We never really get a holistic view of any situation. Just as people on reddit would say "we didn't want trump" and the response was "clearly over half of you did" from europeans, this is another example of how we have to realize we are in our own little bubble in these online communities.

  • GOP talk of military action in Mexico sparks dire warnings
  • Unfortunately the cartels saw this coming with marijuana legalization and now aare in every industry in mexico. Avocados are already legal and the cartel makes a lot of money from them already. The cats out of the bag and it's frankly to late to just end the war on drugs and see the country revert. Also even if meth is legal to consume are we saying that the US goverment would start producing meth?

  • How many hours a day do you actually work?
  • Same, I honestly spend most of my days in my home lab working on personal stuff and then grind out work when I need to. My production is still higher than all my immediate team mates and my boss consistently praises my efforts. I have pretty bad ADHD so this sporadic burst working is what works best for me. That being said i'm on call support so of course if a call comes in that gets responded to immediately as I am never out of earshot of my work PC and phone during work hours even though I may be actually on my personal PC.

    Recently I took over a project two people have been working on and have just done it myself, the timeline for completion has also moved up a month with just me doing it. My co workers aren't lazy, I just find that I know how to batch things together efficently and kill a flock with a boulder so to speak. Frankly my brain inscentivizes me finishing stuff fast.

    This is what middle managers and c suite at my company that miss lording over cubicles don't get, I am literally more efficient at home in my own environment without distractions, but also contrary to their beliefs I am not shut off from collaboration. I always answer calls and constantly run training sessions for our new hires and my co workers on my methods. This is all a bullshit way to get us back under their thumb.

  • Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap.
  • To be fair, uber often got around many of the taxes and regulations others in the transportation industry faced such as the NYC taxi medallion. A lot of the added taxes were simply bringing them inline with the rest of the industry, they were price competitive because they had less overhead due to the lack of regulation and operated at a loss. This was all part of their customer acquisition plan. I still remember the first summer lyft was a thing around here that's all I took because it was artificially cheap to try and attract customers.

  • Biden asks Congress for $40 billion to support Ukraine, replenish US disaster aid and bolster border
  • As a small millitary subcontractor the contractor above us is already hidding to replace the artillery shells we have sent over. Projections say it will take until 2026 to replenish the stock.

    I'd like to note that yes there is a lot of useless to us equipment being sent over that we won't miss, but what I don't see reported is we are also legitimately depleting rockets and artillery ammo that is our bread and butter pretty rapidly.

    It's not to the extent that we couldn't still invade a country, but it has dipped well below projections to fight a 2 front war which is why theres actually a pretty serious eagerness to replenish certain subsets of the stock.

    I just wanted to point out that it isn't all mothballed equipment being sent, I know that is pretty much what's being reported, but ilI review contracts daily that say the reality is we are sending stuff we have identified as vital to our core defense strategy as well and furthermore the stocks are depleted enough to put us behind the required amount set by the upper brass of the millitary in case of a global war.

  • What's some really unpopular opinion you have?
  • I never said anyone was speeding I said the car in front of me was going 15 miles an hour under the limit, so even people going the limit will be coming up significantly faster than they expect. There's a reason some highways have a minimum speed limit. If you cannot operate a vehicle at least 5 below the speed limit you shouldn't be driving on that road. Also sudden slow downs in traffic literally cause accidents daily which is why we shouldn't be causing them when we have the ability not to.

    You seem to think im defending speeding when all i am really saying is big deviations from the limit in either direction increase the chances of an accident exponentially.

  • What's some really unpopular opinion you have?
  • Anything similarly dangerous and potentially deadly would require a license to own or operate. In some states it's illegal to carry a pocket knife but you can have 2 pitbulls at your side no probelm. It doesn't make sense.
