If the feeling is in your gut and not your ass it may be too deep.

“Yoked to the max”

(Or just “yoked”)

If you want to reduce how audible you are outside your room you can add some sound dampening material to your walls and door and seal air cracks around your door. Those black spiked foam wall panels or heavy curtains are probably best for sound dampening, but something as simple and cheap as paper egg cartons on your walls will greatly reduce how much sound gets through.

According to the article, he was only there because he was a falling risk and was waiting for a LTC spot. What reason would they have to not only cut his hair, but also throw away his personal belongings? It makes no sense

We would need to ignore how destitute the rest of the world would need to be for a superpower to full-on collapse in its entirety. I’m also assuming you mean that there’s zero semblance of order or organized society.

The military would get recalled and leave American bases, strategic territory, and other occupied areas undefended and open to capture. Economies that rely heavily on trade with the US would need to find new trading partners to prevent potential economic collapse and it might not even save them if they can’t get similar enough agreements or pricing. There are countries that also rely heavily on straight US aid, either monetarily or goods, that would collapse themselves or force them to align with whichever country would give them new aid. Global healthcare would dip without the drugs manufactured by the US. No American commodities like oil or food makes prices of those commodities go up everywhere else.

People around the world would be afraid. Whatever you may think of the American government and US politics, the average US citizen/resident is quite removed from the goings on of the federal government. The states on their own have a lot of independence and some would likely survive a collapse in federal leadership, but if federal, state, and local government all collapsed together it would be something serious enough to warrant attention from other countries with similar structure to the US.

For the record you weren’t the one I was criticizing

All the snarky well-actuallys on an unserious community really make me want to browse Lemmy more

How many people that go free climbing actually fall to their deaths though? Were those people not being careful?

How many times have you said that to a complete stranger? People generally use hyperbole with people who understand the hyperbole - the more extreme the hyperbole the more you need to trust the person would understand it. It’s the social contract

We need to quickly phase out the low-skill stream of the TFW program, which the government has expanded to let companies fill perceived labour shortages.

Is it truly just perceived? I’d want to see some stats on where the labour force is actually thin.

Since health care is already under the purview of the provinces it kind of make sense to also let them handle dental. The claim in raising in max household income is not insignificant either. However, ultimately it comes down to whether you trust the province to not cock it up. Right now I don’t think I would trust the Ontario government with it.

Someone could reply to your comment saying they just follow their municipal guidelines and they could be doing more than someone with a long list of whatever because their government has implemented better climate action systems.

Grilling individuals on their personal contributions is unproductive because climate change is a systemic, societal issue that is beyond any individual.

Adam is someone I can really identify with because he eats ass like me.

It’s probably unusual. I hope that’s what your friend meant. If something you do is unusual, it doesn’t automatically mean you need to stop doing it.

Am I reading this right? Officer gets raped by mentor in service vehicle multiple times. They file a complaint and an investigation is launched. A second investigation is triggered that finds that the officer getting raped while in a service vehicle counts as her using the service vehicle to conduct a romantic relationship?

Well I guess she shouldn’t have gotten raped huh. At very least if she was going to get raped it shouldn’t have been in a service vehicle.

Madness.
