The egregious moral dimension aside... consider that each of these individual operations probably cost several hundred thousand pounds if it lasted a year or two. Sure, trade unionists might be a hassle to government, but when was the last time trade unionists threatened national security? :/

There are just so many cascading failures in these cases... from the basic undemocratic premise of spying on vaguely dissident groups that aren’t terroristic, to ethical failures of police leadership in approving and continuing to approve these anti-social deep-cover missions, to the absolute moral bankruptcy of a

I think even if he is not successful, he’s at least a really admirable counterweight, in the eyes of foreigners watching the US election. Obviously this is anecdotal, but in some conversations I’ve had here in Germany people are of course appalled by Trump, but there also been the response “wow, Bernie Sanders.”

“Lets get lunch!”
“Great! I know a place with $2 soups, because I am tragically broke. I might be a bit late cause I’m gonna bike and try to save subway fare...”

On one hand design and typography is hideous... but then I imagined what the insane client would be like and I understand why the designer didn’t push back.

Thats how it works though; heck in my hometown there were half a dozen public schools and one Catholic school. Guess which school had the highest teen pregnancy rate?

I’m sarcastically quoting the police chief’s lame defence of why there shouldn’t be fines in place. By the chief’s logic they just shouldn’t give fines in general.

I feel like they shouldn’t be allowed to give tickets for riding without a seatbelt until they get their own house in order. I mean, ticketing people on the road is almost guilt before innocence. You’re not able to defend yourself.

Like, it does save lives and prevent abuse.... but on the other hand it’s like really hard to remember ya know?

“You could work for Google... or you could make 40 000$ a year working in a extremely conservative hierarchy where you are bottom-of-the-ladder for 10 years, no one understands or respects what you do, and we expect you to be a perfect boyscout.”

This is also in line with reports that the FBI is having a hard time recruiting competent tech people... what with their low-pay compared to anywhere else in the tech industry, and their stringent background requirements which rule out candidates who have used drugs/downloaded copyrighted files.

Canadian immigration is supposed to be pretty tough... your first place to look is if you qualify for a TN visa, which is like a list of jobs with qualifications which get you an automatic visa if you have an employer lined up (university professor, architect, graphic designer, etc.). If your job isn’t on that list,

These are the same people who probably believe that global warming isn’t real... and a lack of scientific understanding hasn’t stopped them before.

I think you’re pretty spot on. The incredibly cliche deus ex machina moments are so just bad writing, and they hurt the development of the characters by reducing their autonomy.

The deaths also made the whole first half of the season seem pointless; these characters were weakly fleshed out despite all the time put into

I would argue that it would improve operational effectiveness. For all the talk from the military being worried that they will water-down their elite “best-of-the-best” they’re still an institution that is a laughable 14% female; fighting units aside, how can you say your logistics, research, medical, cultural, or

A few months back I was reading in a cafe, and beside me two marketing bros had a strategy meeting (ugh cafes) where they discussed how their competitor had a much larger budget and had bought a mention from PewDiePie for tens of thousands of dollars.

It was also strange to me that somehow these two guys who clearly

It seems strange, but the National Post had another article on it, basically saying that the first volley of shots killed him and was a justified police shooting. At that point it is technically impossible to commit murder, but attempted murder is still possible since that is just intent and since the officer did not

I think it’s also part of a bigger Canadian problem with taking culture and art seriously... Canadians artists seem to succeed only through international popularity rather than domestic support or government support. Some scenes are stronger, like the music industry in Toronto and Montreal, but in terms of visual arts

I also imagine that at 8am going to work, I won’t feel like a ferris-wheel ride over water. Feeling nauseous just thinking about it.

Too add to the chorus, I think it’s an infrastructure problem. Yes NYC is an especially large city, and its subway does its job well for the most part, but it should be much better given the amount of money/world-class status of NYC. In terms of usability it probably compares very favourably on an international level,
