  • It doesn't take a genius to figure out that cars are running over these kids. Kids are naive and trust that cars aren't trying to run then over so they'll make stupid decisions (for our car brained society that lets people drive until they drop dead without annual testing).

    Then look at the types of injuries, you're not cracking your skull or lacerating your abdomen falling off a kid's scooter that basically go human running speed (18-30km/h) MAX.

    Then we have doctors taking about "sprains" and "concussions" typical falling off your e scooter injuries, but that the worst injuries are car related and it's pretty easy to see what's happening even with the blatant pro car bias this article has.

  • She said collisions with motor vehicles is definitely the most dangerous aspect, but in all situations, these scooters require a certain level of skill and balance.

    I love how they're going out of their way to not admit this whole article is actually about cars running over kids on scooters.

    I hate how much we protect drivers from accountability for their actions. If I go out and stab a kid for no reason I'm in jail for decades. If I run over enough kids on scooters they'll write whole-ass articles arguing that "scooters are unsafe"

  • The engineers only make the designed safe speed. Government officials make the listed limit. It used to be EXTREMELY popular for government official to knock 20-25% off the design limit of the road, ironically so they can tell everyone how safe they were.

  • From the first:

    This is the first documented case of Klingsor syndrome related to psilocybin, in which a psychologically disturbed person self-inflicts harm on their genitals. Plus the dude was already messed up and an alcoholic.

    The second guy was on ADHD meds and hypertension meds:

    Although some might be tempted to draw broad conclusions from this single case, it is important to understand the nature and role of case reports in medicine. Case reports are detailed descriptions of unusual or novel clinical events involving one patient. They do not establish cause and effect or generalize to larger populations.

    It's pretty common advice not to mix drugs unless you know what you're doing, which is something that happened in both cases.

    But the point is your "warning" is the same as telling someone about to drive or fly about the worst accident on their mode of transportation. It's just a paranoid thought (and a dick move), not a reflection of reality.

  • Yeah. Young adults are going to have sex.

    They can have sex in the safe home where they live. Or they can have sex in less safe places like parties, frat houses, in cars where they can collect a public indecency charge, etc...

    That's the choice you get to make as a parent.

  • Yet another example of valid criticism of conservative ideological bullshit being silenced by the courts.

    Apparently if someone is in some way attacking natives and native identity you're not allowed to fight back or criticize them.

  • Recognising the "AI voice" isn't just the voice. It's also the clearly "written by AI" circuitous script that keeps talking without saying anything and non-stop clickbait "but wait until you find out what the answer is" crap.

    The other type of AI voice is people just stealing Reddit stories and putting them to AI. Also lame. I want my stories narrated with human emotion. The point of stories isn't to transfer knowledge, it's an art form, I don't need shitty robot emotions thank you very much.

    So no, the use case for AI voice is very narrow. Some of my favorite YouTubers use text narration. Maybe they don't like their voice, or speak a different language, I don't know, I've literally never heard them. It doesn't stop them in the least from showing me amazing things. They don't need to resort to polluting their video with the lowest garbage idea humans have created so far.

    I'd like to see a video that is improved by the use of any AI.

  • How can opinion and critique be defamation? This is insane. We can't criticize racist bigots anymore apparently.

    Sorry, I had to come back to this. The truth isn't an absolute defense against defamation??? That's the most insane thing I've ever heard. Sometimes it's hard being Canadian.

  • Absolutely. I don't think anyone is trying to tell Spotify users what to do and what to listen to.

    This is just Spotify trying to get the advantages of being the new digital radio without the responsibilities that come with being a radio provider.

  • Spotify is just trying to get out of playing Canadian content to Canadians. When we listen to a Spotify "radio" we're expecting random but themed music, like we get from a radio station. What we don't get is Canadian content. The Canadian content requirements exist because we're attached to a very big exporter of culture and music. It's important to keep our music scene alive in the face of pressure from American artists and American media networks.

    If Canadians don't listen to Canadian music who will?

  • You're right, there is a huge chunk of right of center people who hate women and minorities but keep their opinions behind closed doors. How could OP have lumped them with those who are open about those opinions!

  • Yeah, I think a physical pass or QR code you could print off would make this amazing piece of socially progressive legislation more impactful. Every time you use it you'd remember that you're getting this deal through progressive government policies, not capitalist market pricing.

  • I've written Amanda Presley. You can also write principal Conrad directly through the school contact site https://bellhs.ocdsb.ca/our-school-landing/staff

    Principals are bound by Accepting Schools Act, 2012, S.O. 2012, c. 5 - Bill 13 and Bill 14, Anti-Bullying Act, 2011 of Ontario to prevent bullying and intimidation in their schools. A principal who intimidates and bullies her own students cannot carry out her legal duty. This is completely unacceptable behaviour.

    Please write to the board. This level of politics is much easier to influence through grassroots activism. A few dozen emails will go far! You can be the change you want to see in the world. Please take 5 minutes and write a short email!

  • The kill switch IS the complex supply chain. If you don't get provided spare parts that are only made in 1-2 places in the world (and mostly in the US) you have a couple hundred hours of flight before your f35 becomes a billion dollar paperweight.

  • I think you wildly overestimate Iran's ability to target. These missiles aren't "kill nuclear scientists in their apartment" they're "aim at a city and hope it lands"

    Iran has ballistic missiles, which is an achievement, but aiming a rocket going at that speed with any accuracy is a monumental (read: expensive) engineering challenge.

  • Do both. The people in Washington aren't going to Philly. Don't let him get unspoiled parade footage so he can act like the county supports him. Force him to use violence to suppress peaceful protestors. Let the whole country see him hurt Americans for his selfish deeds. Throwing a military parade for his birthday like fucking Kim Jong-Un. Force him to use the US military to hurt Americans and see how that goes.

    Don't give them an inch. Resist every action, everywhere, everytime, at every level.
