Fun fact: once people get ticketed, by and large they slow down. Then once enough people on the route get a ticket, TRAFFIC slows down.

Source: I was there for Parkside. It was wild watching more and more people shift to a slow speed. You could literally tell who’d been ticketed for a few weeks in the middle. There was a short time where I’d call it “chaotic” because enough people were slowed down but a large enough percentage were still speeding and you basically had a road with 2 speed “limits”

Within a few months it had all settled and now people drive slower there. I got one ticket. I paid it.

Not reading article, don’t actually care. American Express can suck it. They put the average person through hell to get $10,000 credit. They should have been more responsible with this person. Unless they can show they did the usually consideration, gradually upping her credit over time with responsible limits, that’s just the risk of doing business.

Ok I caved and read the article. Lady makes bank (or was faking). Why did she need a $600k+ limit? What is she putting on a credit card that would lead to that amount in such a short time? American Express wanted their cut, they got burned.

But hunters are specifically trying to call them in to shoot them. This is more like catch and release fishing, you are just making the bird late for something…

? What do you mean? It will be even cheaper to use immigrants now because they will have even fewer protections, and you can always cycle out all the complainers and anyone who takes too long to get anything done.

“Elbows up” is a saying/slang/expression in hockey to mean “get ready to fight” (hockey basically allows guys to throw fists between plays for some reason). It is currently being used in political ads and other pro Canada ads in reference to the current trade war.

I was riffing off this, since (as a headline) this is just Canada rolling over for cry baby Trump. It’s not elbows up. It’s daddy Trump telling Carney off like a toddler and Carney cowering. “Elbows off the table!”

Elbows off the table.

We are going back to pre-internet times. Like we will still have it, but finding the information we need will be impossible in the sea of AI misinformation.

When we were kids we would write down questions to ask teachers or the librarian or even my aunt who was a nurse. That’s how we got alot of our answers. I think we are going there again. I think there will be small alcoves of reality on the internet, but they will be hard to find and then treasured, again like bookmarking snopes.com way back when a Google (or Yahoo?) search wouldn’t necessarily find things unless you worded your question as an answer.

No they are not, not officially anyways. There is plenty of crossover, where someone who is officially part of a federal or provincial party will run for mayor, but those parties aren’t involved and they have to step down from those roles to run.

I just didn’t know America’s 2 party system went all the way down to municipal. That’s fuxked.

That was my thought "oh I don’t know… I’m not a new Yorker and have only vague indirect knowledge of Cuomo being shitty… Glances at name

“…I fully support Mowhatever.”

Also I was today years old when I learned New York Mayors are part of a party? What’s that about?

Perfect so I’m sure this settlement will affect absolutely nobody it should.

Sorry, maybe I’m mixing them up with some other nightmare of a company, aren’t they out of business? Execs probably already secured all their extra $$$$ and this 2.3 will have to come out of what they get selling the office chairs, and probably before any employees get anything they are entitled to.

I’ve noticed a theme with all these articles of ICE arresting people for no reason. Why isn’t the officer being charged/disiplined? I’m assuming ICE isn’t going to admit they gave these officers those matching orders, so what these officers are doing is just regular illegal shit. No journalist is gonna ask when the officer will face discipline? At all?

I’m well aware that ICE would hide their officers and do a “we investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing”. But that’s kinda the first step kids… Each and every one of these masked goons is commiting crime. Like regular old “assault” type crime. Not even mentioning this or asking for justice just gives them more power.

Me:that was uncalled for… Maybe Australian or something but still… Me: reads user name Me: “ah, a fine compliment.”

Why is the thumbnail a baggie jeans butt with the body in a bush? What does this mean?

The home grown San Marzanos were left in a single layer on the kitchen table (because that’s how my aunt does it I don’t know but it’s pretty and whatever)

See. This is what we need. People helping people.

If you subtract the military personal who were ordered to attend, that sounds like a very reasonable guess. Maybe they could get swag like the 1%ers. Hats and T-shirts with “I’m one of the 8647 TRUE Americans!”

Somebody please do this.

Right? I was hoping more for a “16 people have quite their roles and chilled the fuck out, taking a new job where they don’t have to be evil daily to maintain their positions.”

But I guess they might have trouble sleeping at night, so that’s alright…

It’s the little things in life you treasure. Like the transparency of idiots. Saves so much time.

And she is used to apologizing for idiots so she’d be able to alot in and rebuild international relationships.
