Then they wouldn't be homeless silly!

Remember: status quo only, no real solutions allowed.

That's supposed to be the law here too. Or at least, you don't have to provide seating but you need to also provide a bathroom if you do. But restaurants ignore it and no one enforces it so it doesn't matter.

Here in BC, Canada, restaurants are supposed to be legally required to provide bathrooms to customers if they have sit down dining. But if you go to any restaurant within 100m of a transit station and ask to use the bathroom after buying something, they'll either flat out say they don't have a customer bathroom or it's perpetually "out of service." The vast majority are nice and even apologetic about it (this is Canada after all), but I've also had stink eyes and rude "NO"s from plenty of employees for having the audacity to ask for a bathroom like I'm some toilet junkie looking for my next fix.

I've read some comments on Reddit from restaurant staff along the lines of "I don't give a shit what the law says, the workers deserve a private bathroom free from drug addicts more than the customers deserve one." Which, I can see where they're coming from and I'd probably feel the same way if I had to work 8+ hours in that restaurant every day, but it really highlights the individualistic nature of Western society. Everyone looks out for their own interests only, and have no qualms about screwing over others for it.

Are Italians discriminatory toward South-Tyroleans? Do they consider them Austrian and not Italian or something? Don't know the lore.

As someone with a Thinkpad, that weird thing Lenovo does where they switch the control and function keys gets me every time I switch between Thinkpad and non-Thinkpad laptops. Usually when I use a non-Thinkpad, it's someone else's laptop and I look like an idiot in front of them wondering why their copy and paste is broken.

I get that the function key isn't technically a standard key on the keyboard (I've only seen them on laptops) and Thinkpads always had that layout dating back the IBM days, but it's still annoying.

I mean, I assume the water running down my body when I shower is good enough? Can't imagine my back of all places getting so dirty that I need to scrub it.

Warning Chinese Competition Is Closing In

You know everyone believes in capitalism when a new competitor in the free market is a dire warning and perceived as a threat.

Damn typesetting sounds like such a cool term. Makes me think you're picking up each letter and putting them... actually wait is that literally what it used to mean? Putting letters in a printing press?

When AI developers are priced like AI lawyers lol

Capitalism would be slightly more bearable if all companies dropped the "we care about you" shtick and just straight up told you their only motive is profit and that they're here to exploit you.

Right now we're literally living under capitalism but you're not allowed to point that out to any of the capitalists. I'm so damn sick of this stupid charade I have to play just for the privilege of being a wage slave.

What province? I assume this is talking about Canada since you mentioned premier?

When your branch becomes a fork

The original cell phones were unencrypted and anyone nearby with a receiver could listen in on your call, no?

Say the line Bart!

sigh, "Unlike insert socialist country here, the West has freedom of speech and the right to express your opinions without the secret police coming after you."

YAYYYYYYY!

No, it's MY supporting drug use. Get your own!

I was literally taught the term "drugs AND alcohol" in school. Imagine if science class taught you that it was "water AND ice" and that ice is merely adjacent to water.

I think they now teach that alcohol is also a drug, but still.

So seeing Israel has literally admitted to supporting terrorism, logically they should now consider themselves antisemitic terrorist scum and will soon start carpet bombing themselves, right? /s

Honestly, I've been doing some recreational thinking about this whole thing, and I find myself agreeing with you. You brought up good points I hadn't considered, thanks!

I believe the coax "internet cable" is literally just the cable TV network and they use the leftover bandwidth to carry internet.

I live in Vancouver and there are literally no bathrooms, public or private, in the densest parts of the city for this exact reason. I've damn near pissed myself on long transit trips because all of the restaurants near transit stations won't let you use the bathroom even if you buy something.

You used to be able to pay to use the bathroom by buying something, now you can't relieve yourself even if you wanted to pay. Like build coin operated toilets like they have in Europe at this point because it's better than literally not having access to any bathrooms at all.
