Not me yelling « human person! » into my phone as the robots take me through endless voice menus

Hitler really doesn’t get enough credit for killing Hitler

Neck guard. I think I saw a couple of other players wearing it last night.
I guess the skate to Slaf’s face the other night may have opened some eyes

Florian is going to crack the regular lineup ahead of Arber at this pace

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year?

How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

Huzzah!

I guess it’s not just maps of campus…

Tbh, now that I think of it, I often picture Fredericton in this orientation and it’s weird to me that the North Side is at the bottom

I agree maps should always have north towards the top.
Inversely, posted building floor plans should always be oriented so the direction you’re facing is up. It always throws me off when these are in the wrong direction

Not 💯but I think it’s because when teams are listed by conference on paper (not on a map), eastern teams are often on the left because of alphabetical order

I can’t really explain it but when I picture the location of American cities, especially in the context of sports teams, I visualize the map upside down; east coast on the left, west on the right

I almost caved yesterday but then the sun came out

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

I read that too. TBH, I understand that they can’t accommodate everyone. My main beef (lol) is with the thinly veiled xenophobia and the knee jerk reactions because it looked like they were accommodating a minority group.

Paywall…

J’ai pas vu les détails de la solution proposée. Restera à voir

Ce que j’ai vu c’est une réaction négative du public envers un communauté minoritaire, pour des raisons questionables

Sorry @wavingtoanimals.bsky.social d’avoir highjacké ton post

For the record, j’essaie pas juste de te contrarier. J’essaie vraiment de comprendre et so far j’ai pas vraiment vu d’argument convainquant pourquoi on ne peut pas accommoder une communauté minoritaire qui est croissante dans notre province

Pis aussi, pour ceux qui s’inquiètent de la cruauté envers les anuimaux, la définition de halal inclue « the humane treatment and proper slaughter of animals ».

Tu prend ces infos ou?

De ce que j’ai lu, la religion sikh ne peut pas manger halal, mais ils ont leur propre rituel.

Quelle autre religion ne peut pas manger halal?

Disons que je ne suis pas très convaincu que la vrai raison des plaintes n’est pas, au minimum, à 90% pour des raisons xénophobes

Le gens qui peuvent pas manger halal, est ce qu’ils peuvent manger de la viande « normale »? De ce que j’ai lu, ils ont leur méthode de tuer les animaux, donc accommoder un groupe ne leur enlève probablement rien?

Pis les 2 autres raisons, ben come-on…

Est-ce que l’argument est que certains ne peuvent pas manger de viande halal? ou plutôt vu qu’on ne peut pas accommoder tout le monde on accommode personne?

Let’s hope so.
You want to get drunk and fight each other while we wait?

I use overcast. I just checked and I don’t see episodes available :(

P-e que je manque quelque chose…

Si c’est pas simplement « anti-halal » c’est quoi l’argument contre l’offre de viande halal?

La religion de ceux qui se sentent pas capable de manger la viande halal?

Peut être que c’est contre leur religion de faire un minimum d’effort pour accommoder les autres. Ou peut être que leur viande préférée est le knee jerk. Maybe both

Oh absolutely. I expect this reaction from rubes. But…I’m really at a loss for words here.

Like, can’t we just be kind and accommodate people, especially if it requires zero effort on individuals? Is the uproar over the fact that they couldn’t serve pork? Your kid can’t do w/o pork for 5 meals/wk?

Man, stuff like this really hurts my brain

Lolololol. All of these people worried about animal cruelty must be vegan or strictly limit their consumption to free range meat, right? This wouldn’t simply be a knee jerk reaction to a religious accommodation that happens to be for anyone other than themselves?
