Wasn’t he explicitly against the idea of empathy?

His family shouldn’t expect empathy, and he wouldn’t want his death to distract from full Epstein file disclosure.

Can you imagine getting arrested for fleeing the country to avoid your deportation hearing?

I’m curious what would happen if he tried to flee the country to avoid deportation.

They fenced my son’s school this summer. Previously it was only the playground and field that was fenced. New fence is 4 ft high, no gates, just gaps at walk ways.

At first I was unhappy about it, feeling that it cut the school off from the community. But then my son and I arrived early one day and had his soccer ball, we were able to really play on a lawn that would have been too small without a fence. So I can see that the fence creates more usable space for the school. And I’ve come around.

Fair enough I get all that. My contention is that writing off commenters as shills and bots underestimates the size of the problem.

I agree that the Kremlin targets the fabric of our society. But they have succeeded to the point that we can’t just cut off the affected parts. It’s too pervasive. We need to mend and reinforce the damaged fabric. Idk if you’re confident they’re shills/bots/trolls then I guess you’re right, but what if they’re just ignorant?

Just FYI it’s totally possible for non-shills/bots to support Russia. They can be real people just with different experiences, values and/or information diets than you.

Like to me it’s pretty obvious who the bad guys in the war are (russia). But to a Belarusian it’s probably not so clear (in fact I’ve met a Belarusian that feels this way).

Writing people off as shills/bots gives a false sense of security (not exactly the passing I want but close enough I guess)

I think it’s much healthier to say something like “your head is so far up your ass it’s difficult to understand you”.

I base this prediction on liberal party performance in the last two by-elections.

Yes, but what makes you think that that could possibly be what’s about to happen?

I think it is far more likely that liberal voters turnout will be down because of trudeau fatigue, this will cost the liberals battleground ridings. I think conservatives will have higher turnout than normal in traditional red seats since there is now a chance of their vote mattering. And I think that will cost the liberals even more seats.

I base this prediction on liberal party performance in the last two by-elections.

There’s a good chance PP will just get more conservative votes in already conservative areas and still end up with a minority.

What are you basing this on?

Downvote away but you know it’s true.

You don’t know what others know. Building codes vary tremendously between regions. Imo zoning and real estate speculation are MUCH more significant drivers than the cost of design and construction. But my opinion is based on my experiences in my region.

I mean both really

Yeah I thought the same about depose.

Russia is there, maybe you could say Mongolia too.

The near east and middle east are kinda there. Like Arabian peninsula seems

My point regarding south east Asia is that it’s not just the south-east, it’s the all south Asia, east Asia that are missing. (And also naturally the south east)

It’s very euro centric to dedicate two circles exclusively to representing the Mediterranean but to leave India and China off, and Africa dwarfed.

I would say it’s east Asia and South Asia that are missing, not “south east”. It’s like 3 billion isn’t it?

What happens if a retailer doesn’t update their SKU codes in time for Christmas and charges GST on items that are GST exempt? But does figure it out before it’s time to make a remittance?

I’m jumping in to ask what you think of my hair-brained idea of taking all these seized boughtback weapons and launching them into temporarily occupied parts of Ukraine and/or disaffected parts of Russia with ~2 magazines of appropriate ammo each. Via idk hot airballoon or something.

Since Russia already has the ability to distribute small arms to anti-Kievans in those areas, I don’t think it significantly increases the risks to Ukrainian forces. Would it hamper Russian operations in any way?

Retaliation can get ugly quickly. Does Toronto still ship its garbage to Michigan?

Although I guess Ford wouldn’t mind if Toronto suffered so he could look like a tough guy.

I reckon if you’re doing the work involved in managing a rental property yourself, you’re doing work and providing a service.

If you expect an employee/contractor to do all that for you, but to still collect profits: what would you say you do here?

Even if there was authenticated video of him hanging himself, it is still a scandal/ conspiracy cover up that it was allowed to happen.

It ought to have been impossible.
