Staffers had reportedly fed the portly pet a diet of cookies and soup, which caused him to balloon up to a scale-shattering 37.47 pounds — so heavy he couldn’t even walk.

Wow, that’s awful to read

This might be a little too tangential and not your area of expertise at all…

Is there a reason why we can’t make a plant-based diet that has the same nutrition as meat? I assume there must be otherwise I think that idea would take off more.

I hope you both are doing well. I’m not faithful either, but I’ll make sure to say a few words for your buddy.

I think they know they’re going to get creamed this election, so Trudeau is hoping he can absorb the impact and let the party choose a new leader and rebuild.

I do wish they’d announce Trudeau won’t run for re-election, and announce a new leader post-election. Someone not from the inner circle so that they can give Canadians something to vote for instead of choosing who they’re voting against.

This is super frustrating to me.

It’s a great solution to a real problem, it works with our market economy, it works for canadians, and now we’re seeing it’s reducing emissions. You can’t leave the free market to manage externalities, if you could they wouldn’t be externalities.

I’m doubly frustrated the NDP are now taking this line and saying it puts the onus on the little guy. We could improve dispersement schedules so the little guy is less impacted, but as the article states, the little guy is coming out a head on the backs of the big polluters.

ETA: I enjoyed this article, it felt like good quality journalism to me. The Walrus doesn’t write the style I prefer to read, but I do appreciate their reporting.

I know exactly how you feel

Non union company, and the excuse used was that I was “unreliable”.

I wasn’t dismissed, I was just passed over for promotions and projects, exactly like this satirical article. Ended up leaving for a much higher paying job anyway.

I’m planning one and pitching it as a 3 shot

Combat always takes longer than I think, and I know they’re going to grill to whatever random merchant is in the town for 2 hours instead of talking to the mayor who requested their help.

Same

It was a very fun time though!

I’ve had this happen to me when I disclosed I needed time off for mental health issues.

Never again.

This isn’t even satire, the company I was at had a whole mental health campaign at the time.

TNG S4E16 Galaxy's Child

This episode has so much cringe in it.

Geordie setting up a meeting and trying to make it into a date is a lot. Plus omitting that he had the computer summarize her files to resolve a critical crisis, while using the information he got from her file in discussing with her is not good.

Brahms does an excellent job letting him down and putting up firm boundaries.

But oh god, when she discovers the holodeck program, and then Geordie rant!

It's tough to watch in a totally different way than the Quark Gender swap episode.

I just watched Measure of a Man, they rule Data has the right to choose. But in Voyager the EMH gets relegated to forced servitude. Why? Doesn’t that violate precedent?

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre stepped into the debate over trans rights on Wednesday, saying "biological males" should be banned from women's sports, change rooms and bathrooms.

"Female spaces should be exclusively for females, not for biological males," Poilievre said in Kitchener, Ont.

The Conservative leader made the comments after being asked if, as prime minister, he would introduce legislation to prevent "transgender women" or "biological men" from participating in female sports or entering female prisons and shelters.

"A lot of the spaces … are provincially and municipally controlled, so it is unclear ... what reach federal legislation would have to change them," Poilievre said.

"But obviously female sports, female change rooms, female bathrooms should be for females, not for biological males," he added.
