  • I once realized so many of my favourite businesses were cooperatives. I started thinking of what other co-ops I could start and grow. The excitement faded once I realized it would have to not be about the money.

  • I'd disagree, unless you want to say pop punk isn't punk (and if that's what you're saying, that's fair).

    Stuff like this springs out of acts of popular piety. When you teach that the relics of people in heaven can work as prayer aides, it's a foregone conclusion that some may want to decorate (or even wallpaper, like the photos of the skulls) a prayer space with the highest class of relics.

    This is how altars came to have a relic in a stone that the priest kisses at the beginning of every Mass.

    It's an unanticipated but popular reaction to authority and came from the bottom up rather than top down, ergo pop punk.

    Just because something is old enough to become mainstream doesn't mean it's not punk. Green Day. Blink 182, et al. started out being labeled as punk before the term pop punk became widespread.

  • I intentionally sought out a used vehicle with haptic menu controls. It pissed me off when I realized there was no point of having it, because the UI still locks me out of most of the interface when I am not completely stopped.

    It seems like the next generation just entirely gave up on the concept of safety.

  • Catholics believe the principle of double effect could act as a moral compass here.

    In a direct abortion, the intended effect is to end the life of the fœtus. There are probably other medical procedures that could achieve the desired effect of saving the life of the mother, unfortunately I'm guessing they are not sought out due to cost and the low likelihood that both lives would be saved.

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but that responsibility is limited to during working hours and/or inside the workplace. (And to be clear, I'm referring to their employer, Canada Post, not the Canadian Government, who does have the right to enforce similar mandates in a Public Health Emergencies like the one we just had)
