Mobi in Vancouver is pretty decent, some stations have reliability issues but there are enough stations to make it work. I too own a bike and use Mobi pretty much every week for the same reasons described in the article. It’s also perfect when friends come visit the city and I just lend them my anual pass, it blows their mind that they can bike around mostly for free.

If only the service was slightly cheaper, and there were more AAA bike facilities specially outside downtown. Maybe one day when municipal government stops moving backward into car-dependency.

Face Eating Leopards not welcomed at Assembly of Mauling Genocide Survivors

I guess “the world is still not entirely insane” is news too

We are so screwed…

No worries. I didn’t bite it. I just don’t understand the appeal.

Why is this even a repeating issue… this is just rage bait

This is fucked up. Hoping for a fast recovery and for charges for these delinquents.

Montreal is a lovely city, but it isn’t for everyone’s tastes.

The main thing that concerns me about a fully cashless society is that the means of buying and selling stuff shifts fully into the hands of the for profit, private company payment processors.

Not necessarily true. The federal government can and should roll out their own instant payment mechanism under the supervision of the central bank or federal reserve. For reference: the FedNow initiative in the US, FPS in Hong Kong, and PIX in Brazil.

Interac is an aberration and it should be killed by a real public service.

The Star reached out to dozens of people who left Toronto

Toronto, they said, has become unlivable.

Wow, incredible investigative journalism there. In other news, The Star reached out to dozens of people who left [CITY]. “[CITY], they said, has become unlivable.” Very informative 👍

This is just amazing

But also kudos to Ravi Kahlon for actually listening to good ideas, he’s a gem in this provincial government

Fuck yeah Uytae Lee for president

I don’t understand the economics of this. For someone with addiction to harder drugs, I can see why they would trade what they get from safe supply for the harder stuff.

But what’s in it for the trafficker? Who’s buying those pills? Who are these people that want safe supply drugs instead of the harder ones? If such people exist, why aren’t they getting their supply from the program? Is it a matter of dosing, i.e. the safe supply is not offering a sufficient dose for these people?

People definitely downvote on things they don’t agree with.

This is different from downvoting because someone expressed their perspective.

getting down voted for expressing your perspective.

How do you know this is the case? Maybe there are other reasons to downvote?

I think the difference between “I can’t” and “I don’t wanna” is big enough to be worth splitting. For instance, when trying to think of reasons for men that “can’t” abandon masculinity, you’re looking for externalities (pressure). If you think about why don’t men “want to”, you’ll find plenty of self-serving reasons and rationalization, which in my opinion is a more realistic framing.

Do men feel like “they can’t abandon masculinity”? Is that a widespread feeling men have?

I don’t see it much. What I see the most is men that don’t want to abandon masculinity.

That’s great news, thanks for sharing!

So pie charts are the newest trend for dietary guides? I won’t miss the bullshit of the food pyramid but kinda surprised that it’s gone

Edit: I wasn’t expecting pyramid fans out there lol really don’t understand the downvotes

Sometimes takes multiple cycles of conservative power for the people to swing back, and sometimes the damage done in the meantime is irreparable. Lives will be ruined, lives will be lost.
