@vandergraafly @acoyne @WriterWong The thousands of civilians were killed because the perpetrators of genocide and mass rape have intentionally hid behind civilians.

@acoyne @WriterWong Strongly disagree, mate. He stands at the head of a government that has killed thousands of civilians. Can he not even be caricatured?

The significant thing is not just that the cartoonist thought it was okay, but that the editors saw nothing wrong with it, either. And if the editors saw nothing wrong with it, it was because they could not imagine their readers having a problem with it.

@jahnanair @MikeCosper He's one of the few I've seen who actually has nuance and moral clarity on this issue.

@MikeCosper You seem VERY certain about this. I’m a big fan of your work - you are an excellent journalist and are typically very careful and thoughtful. That’s why so many of us are baffled by your stance on this. There’s no nuance at all in your responses and it’s problematic.

@nwaoma007 I feel like the lie only delays the truth, making it ultimately cause hurt more in the end.

The commonest reason why people lie is not fear of any negative repercussions. The greatest number of lies, whether of omission or commission are told primarily to avoid causing hurt.

@slye I think a surprising number of people would drive right into the chargers.

Change my mind: If all chargers were lined up to the middle of the parking spot then it wouldn’t matter what side of the car the charge port is on.

@drmoneymatters I almost bought a couple hundred dollars worth of Bitcoin when it was at $20, but used that money for textbooks at uni instead. I console myself by knowing there's no way I would have held past $1000.

Curious how many people here have made a life changing amount of money by investing in single stock (NVDA, TSLA, etc or crypto). I mean like more than you could make in 10 yrs of your actual job

@DrJenGunter Legally? I have no idea. Ethically? IMHO Absolutely. Anyone who handles a firearm has an obligation to ensure it's safe from the moment they pick it up and to ensure they handle it in a safe manner. So many basic rules of firearm safety must have been violated for this to occur.

If Alec Baldwin was told the gun didn’t have live ammunition, how is he responsible? Is it an actor’s job to also check? Genuinely curious.

@mckaycoppins It's a movie that really depends on who you watch it with and the mood you're in. The first time I watched it I didn't like it. Watched it again with friends late on a Friday night when we were all having a good time, and I thought it was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen.

11yo daughter's bewildered reaction to watching Napoleon Dynamite for the first time: "I... don't know if that was good or bad?" Told her this is how we all felt in 2004, and to give it time.

@richardarmour99 @BrianGrunau @sammy_iamms @kalismethy313 @DrSuziNielsen @lindaj_ross @MonashAddiction @monash_para Compelling research, thanks for sharing!

🌟 First PhD Publication 🌟 We heard from people with lived and living experience that 911 calls were a source of tension due to instructions from emergency medical call takers for patients suffering drug poisoning emergencies, so we examined 1.6 mil cases to look into it.

@bataille_chris @andrew_leach @gilmcgowan Truck owners already pay that w/ taxes on fuel. A lot of roadway maintenance and transit funding comes from fuel tax, and EV's don't pay that. I hate to admit it, but this actually isn't a bad idea to ensure funding for roadways and transit is present as EV's become more popular

@andrew_leach @gilmcgowan Can I have a crazy large pickup truck tax? No. Oh well.

Bwhahahahaha.

@gillsy69 @ChefReactions I've only ever been disappointed with Honey's. I think they're overrated. Vancouver has much better donuts.

@ChefReactions Peaceful has amazing beef rolls. Fire pizza on Commercial is my go-to for greasy by-the-slice pizza. Breka is a great 24 hr cafe/bakery that's worth checking out.

@ChefReactions Cinnamon buns from "Grounds for coffee." Oddly enough their coffee is mediocre but cinnamon buns are the best. Cannibal cafe on Commercial for burgers. Kosoo for Korean near Robson and Cardero. Osaka sushi at Burrard and Harwood.

@ChefReactions If you venture into North Vancouver than Alberello pizzeria at Lonsdale and 15th and Sushi Umi at Lonsdale and 20th are both worth checking out. Best coffee in Vancouver for my money is Nemesis.

@emilykmay Wildflowers by Tom Petty. It was played at my cousin's funeral by his brother. Makes me cry every time it's played.

what song makes you catch your breath and choke up if it accidentally comes on and you aren't expecting it? mine is "it's quiet uptown."

@lizadorawrites @emilykmay My brother played this at my Grandpa's funeral and now I have a hard time listening to it.

@emilykmay Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World. The lyric “A song for a heart so big…” crushes me to bits. My brother told me the line reminded him of our grandpa and I’ll never hear it any other way.

@smartereveryday I regularly switch between different vehicles made by several major manufacturers and never have an issue with this. Even Bluetooth in rental vehicles seems just fine.

The elephant in the room… If car manufacturers want us to trust their software for self driving cars, they must first get me to trust their software to pair my phone to a radio. I haven’t had this work well yet. How is this not solved yet? This is a reasonable expectation.

@sarahsecrets6 @AshleyGWinter Yes it's up to the dr, but it's also the standard of care for managing ETOH withdrawal.

@benajohnson2 @AshleyGWinter ultimately it is up to the physician. some people will avoid seeking treatment if they think they cant get it

My caffeine dependency is so epic that the first thing I did when the family was all puking with a GI bug was procure caffeine pills so I didn't get a headache.

@sarahsecrets6 @AshleyGWinter They can manage symptoms of ETOH withdrawal with benzodiazepines.

@AshleyGWinter it is weird that they don't. they carry 'Beer' for patients that they don't want to force ethanol detox

@thescottbarber Would you look at the photograph afterwards?

I refuse to attend the wedding of someone who listens to Nickelback

@ximLethaLx @Equinox_SDG @DonutOperator @AltHistCody Driving isn't a right, it's a privilege. Obeying the rules of the road is part of being a responsible member of a civilized society. Freedom doesn't mean getting to do whatever you want without any regard for others.

@Equinox_SDG @DonutOperator @AltHistCody So ur saying that public safety matters more than personal freedom?
