How it feels to want a data centre in your city:

It's insane how low taxes are here in Ontario. We pay less income tax than Saskatchewan, but people will flip if you say that we need a tax hike.

I don't have any moral objection to trillionaires, but does it have to be a whack job obsessed with white identity politics and conspiracy theories

I don't get why uber-rich people don't spend their money on more interesting things. I would have km-high statues of myself if I were a trillionaire.

it's crazy to think that so many aspects of life are no better if you're a billionaire You have the same shows, same movies, same smart phones, same laptops, same kirkland toilet paper

To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis: Show us your laptop. Show us your iCloud. Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation. You won’t. You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out. That is not who we are. My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count. For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame. I no longer believe that. Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us. And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts. That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena. Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next. Life does not determine our character. It reveals it. Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next? We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day. So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop. You won’t. The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing. That is the only definition that matters.

Just saying… No Democrat has won the White House this century without a Biden on the ticket.

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries currentaffairs.org/news/how-…

I refuse to acknowledge pasta salad as a real salad.

Years ago you could enter a grocery store with 25 dollars And walk out fruits, a loaf of bread, meat, cheese, milk and much more. Nowadays, there are surveillance cameras everywhere.

Where does the stereotype of Catholics being strict come from? IME, Catholics tend to be far more theologically liberal than Evangelicals.

Geniunely so funny that a tire company ended up being the definitive source for fine dining recommendations.

Things the recovery industry will not tell you: 1. The drug worked. That is why people use it. Not weakness. Not moral failure. A neurological event so complete and persuasive that any honest account of addiction has to start there. The problem is not that the drug fails. The problem is that what it does is unrepeatable, and you will burn your entire life to the ground trying to get back to a place that no longer exists. 2. Shame is not guilt. Guilt says I did something bad. Shame says I am something bad. Guilt is appropriate. Shame is a cell with no windows. Most people use the words interchangeably. That mistake is lethal. 3. You cannot shame someone who has already named the thing you are holding over them. Say it first. Say it in plain light. The weapon drops. 4. Guilt can coexist with self-respect. Shame cannot. You can hold the damage and the dignity at the same time. I know because I live there. 5. Radical honesty does not give you back who you were. It hands you the clean slate of who you always wanted to be. The mask comes off. The cartoon other people drew of you stays on the page. 6. Nobody gets clean on a winning streak. 7. You have to be almost self-delusional in your forgiveness of yourself. (Go watch Chase Hughes) 8. The greatest sin was not the chaos. It was the absence. Being unavailable to the people who needed you. 9. Sustainable recovery starts with one thing: honesty with yourself. If you love an addict and want to help, that is the only door in. 10. I am only an expert on my recovery. Nobody is an expert on anyone else’s.

Brilliant idea -- identifying stigma and its effects in the wild nber.org/papers/w35277

I don't understand why people jaywalk. You're risking your life to save literal seconds.

Everyone who tries to debunk this resorts to sci-fi stuff like asteroid mining, missing out on the much more obvious point that: (at current growth rates) world gdp per capita in 2100 will still be far below Denmark's in 2026 Given the Danes emit less CO2 per capita (4.34T) than the world average (4.89T) and life there shows no signs of butting up against the edges of thermodynamic limits, its clear we are very very far away from this being a problem

they've built concentration camps and i'm expected to act like it's a mere difference of political opinion
