    I could possibly see it to try and protect local stores from Amazon, but this actually hurts local restaurants and other businesses that provide local delivery.

    I feel indigenously resentful.

    @Mik said in “Get Flacco” you said. “It’ll be…..: Shouldn’t be Thursday night football. I don’t disagree, especially for divisional play. Stats say that visiting teams are at a much higher disadvantage than normal away games.

    Didn’t get exercised. Sad. But it’s what I was hoping for when I chose not to de-risk on Friday.

    If this is still current I would include some bottles of bubbles. Even people who don’t drink wine enjoy a prosecco or cava of some sort.

    I just find it annoying. Nothing more. Am sure it will fade away as time goes on. In the meantime, I’ll treat indigenous land acknowledgements the same as having to recite the Lord’s Prayer or say grace at a solemn occasion or group dinner. I quietly refuse to participate and simply bow my head in polite reticence. Edit: FWIW, the BC Supreme Court’s ruling is of little if any consequence in BC and zero concern or consequence outside of BC beyond Sun Media. Certainly not in Manitoba where the story was published as News..

    Wow, that’s going to be embarrassing when the military actually gets paid on the 15th.

    I think that her advisers are telling her that it’s a land mine and just don’t go down that road. Don’t touch it. So far it hasn’t hurt her in the polls, but if you see a drop, I expect her to drop the guy like a container of yogurt left in a car in Texas for 8 hours…

    It’s funny to think that someone’s 12 year old is trash talking him as we speak.

    Watched it in a theater. Entertaining enough. I don't regret watching it.

    I agree it’s out of line. Nice people viewing affirmation as an act of kindness rather than a psychosocial intervention potentially subject to iatrogenic harm. And one that puts them on a path often leading to chemical sterilization and lifetime medicalization. But it’s not clear to me what effect the 2024 election has had on the number of districts that do that.
