TLDW: Canadian bagged milk is an Ontario thing but the rest of Canada doesn't do that. (Also the video's maker doesn't like Ontario (also also the more you look at the word 'Ontario' the more the word looks like it was made up)).

American law outlines a series of protections for those accused of crimes but not yet convicted. (Like the 4th-6th amendments)

Does your country have any unique/novel protections of the rights of potentially innocent people accused but yet to be convicted?

If not are there any protections you think should be in place?

The result has been recognised by Venezuelan allies China, Russia and Iran.

I realize this is a broad question, but I'd be interested in personal anecdotes. Are they even common? (Obviously varies by county and region)

Please note state lines were disputed as depicted. Notably NH had older claims to the VT territory claimed by NY. And this list isn't all inclusive, there were many small fights.

Realize that this is a small bubble and susceptible to group think. Don't base your world view on Lemmy.

Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol, the Mayor of Rouen, which is in France's northern Normandy region, said no one was injured.

MASH hosted about 20 fleeing men and children in the first four months of 2013 before being shut down.

Glass half full. He probably made a massive difference in the lives of those 20 in those few short months. Maybe even turned some lives around.

Surely a company who makes a percentage of the total sale price would have no perverse incentive to create an algorithm that artificially sugar coats reviews. /s

I trust a steam monopoly long before I'd trust epic. Epic is run to meet the needs of share holders and valve is run to meet the needs of Gaben.

It's almost like the writing on the wall was trying to tell us something! Amazon is a bloated poorly self-regulated market with a low barrier to entry that prioritizes convenience over quality, while obfuscating the truth of the seller you do business with.

As much as I love clowning on Zuck it's unreasonable to expect foreign companies to act as your nation's means of emergency notifications.
