You dont even need to look at movements abroad to dispute this comparison. Quebec is right there and they had and have an actual, not-astroturfed independence movement with actual justifications for their beliefs, with an argument grounded in the right to self-determination and their national history.
Alberta has nothing going on that makes independence a serious consideration.
Is California a country?
Wow, I can’t believe I’m about to say that I like what this banker just said.
But uhh, I think I like what this banker just said.
Okay but like, Half Life 2 is similar to Citizen Kane.
A revolutionary piece of media for its time that brought the medium as a whole forward.
And kind of a slog to get through now because we learned a lot of lessons about the medium since then.
Like I’m sorry, but you’re not going to convince me that the strider fights on your way to the citadel were actually good and definitely not a painful chapter that soured a lot of people ln the game. And Water Hazard is infamous for being very uninteresting to the point that people that play half life now joke about it.
Yeah I saw that part in the article too, but you actually can tell what country something is going to from the APO/FPO/DPO code.
Im not denying that the buyer had responsibility in this.
So what I find interesting is that this exact story was reported in CTV like a week ago, but in this one, the reasoning has changed somehow?
Originally reported, the problem was that Bahrain does not allow adult items to be shipped to them. But the adult shop said that it actually doesn’t ship to Bahrain and most of Asia because of rules like that making it more complicated to do business. Owner said that it was likely forwarded to a base (so a third party shipper, something the shop has zero control over.)
But in this one, the rationale has changed to “these objects are dangerous”, and I don’t see focus being placed on the third-party seller shipper.
edit: shipper, not seller. We don’t know if this was after market, just that it’s not directly shipped. They might actually have some amount of control over that, if that’s the case, because they would have needed to label the original package as being shipped to Bahrain.
The more I think about this story, the more I think that it’s being ramped up as a “look how the US military is interfering with canada on behalf of a middle eastern country!” instead of like “someone made a mistake by ordering something not allowed in Bahrain, and the business didn’t check whether they were allowed to ship it there or not.” I dont get what the big deal here is. This actually kinda looks bad on the business now that I take a second look at it.
Okay, but controversial opinion? He admitted it, apologized, and said it wouldn’t happen again. It wasn’t good that it happened, but it would be easily worse if he rolled out a “AI is the future, better get used to it” answer, which feels like something politicians are starting to get into.
I’m not gonna say he won my trust with this, but it doesn’t outweigh his working class/union leader bona fides to me (at least not yet)
Not suggesting that those provinces are undeserving of coverage, but speaking as someone out of Regina, Sask, we are genuinely starved for real local journalism out here. Often times, if you want local news to Regina, you might have to check a junk unit rental company’s Facebook. (this is not a joke, Just Bins is genuinely one of the only sources of local news here because real publications keep shuttering. they’re also incredibly racist and transphobic, so that really sucks for us that they’re all we really got.)
I know none of these added journalists are for Regina, but if we’re doing this bad, the grids are doing way worse.
I really wish writing a headline like this would make an editor unemployable.
Tom Cashman is a stand-up comedian. He’s obviously exaggerating for comedic effect. I don’t think we need to employ anti-imperialist analysis to notice that.
When?
It would have had nato membership as a British colony, but not as an independent country. Isn’t it like one of the few EU member countries that’s not part of nato?
I have no idea people hate on cursive (beyond the normal anti-intellectual reasons of hating the idea of teaching people things that aren’t immediately applicable to industry).
Cursive didn’t come out of nowhere, it fills a legitimate need, and it’s a skill that expresses your individual creative self in an activity you might do everyday (maybe more!) It does wonders for your self-confidence and happiness in life to write on paper well. Paper and pen has been humanity’s companion for centuries if not millennia, and one doesn’t do themselves any favors by intentionally shunning their own handwriting ability. And you dont have to pick between using a keyboard and learning cursive: just do both.
I’ve heard and seen this sort of things before but never heard anyone who actually used it. I’m stoked to hear that it’s actually something that works for folks! In my neurodivergent brain, I think I’d get a kick out of it.
Oh god this reminded me of something I heard touted while I was studying for my PMP exam
This was when covid was a thing people cared about and we were saying WFH was the new normal. One thing PMs were obsessed with was “bringing the open space office culture to the home”
One way that was proposed to do that? Have an all day meeting where everyone joins in and anyone can talk, like they’re in the office.
Yeah that’s like, a very basic fact to mess up so badly. Noone seriously disputes that Al-Qaeda did 9/11 (not just “in partnership with” as though they were along for the ride) and the country the US invaded that had nothing to do with 9/11 was Iraq, not Afghanistan.
Americans have a collective memory that lasts more than 3 years challenge (impossible difficulty)
That’s so valid, hope they have a great time with it!
Dont be shy, post the friend’s suit 👀
Oh, is it really more VN than detective? I’m starting my first playthrough and I was looking forward to the idea that I had to piece it together on my own. Is it like that or is it more that the game is gonna tell you the answer?
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. If you (correctly) think her story needs to be told, why shouldn’t it be told to blind people and people with low vision?
Elena, like many other journalists, would likely agree with making information more accessible – both through transparency and accessibility.
Lol love the old soviet car analogy, good lada memories but mannnn that one was a death trap
Give AnyOffice a try, I like it cuz it just works
