This one here, right?

Endorsement of or justifications for Hamas or Hezbollah, or slogans or graphics positively referring to these organizations. These are considered terrorist organizations in Germany.

I don’t think expressing understanding is either endorsement or justification. So as written, it should be fine, but since it comes down to the mods interpretation, who knows what the outcome would actually be.

That’s… not what anyone is suggesting. They just want streaming services to also have to contribute a % of their revenue to CanCon, just like traditional broadcasters do.

Every tenth episode you have to watch Letterkenny.

But honestly, it says in the article:

Earlier Friday, Canadian media company Corus urged the CRTC to require traditional broadcasters and online players to pay the same amount into the Canadian content system. The broadcaster, which owns Global TV, said both should contribute 20 per cent of their revenue toward Canadian content.

Currently, large English-language broadcasters must contribute 30 per cent of revenues to Canadian programming, and the CRTC last year ordered streaming services to pay five per cent of their annual Canadian revenues to a fund devoted to producing Canadian content.

The foreign streaming services are fighting that rule in court and Netflix, Paramount and Apple pulled out of the CRTC hearing earlier this week.

There is a minor downside: If anyone carelessly moves said bread bag, it can come untwisted, untucked, or both.

But yeah, I’m on team twist and tuck. (Although, since I live with other people, I normally just continue the method currently in place.)

This honestly doesn’t make much sense. The implication would be that all citizens are culpable for their government’s actions once they start paying taxes.

Funding your government isn’t a voluntary act, so your last parenthetical already invalidates most of what you said.

That’s a slick little knife! Wish I could buy one, but sadly I’m pretty sure it’s very illegal in my jurisdiction.

Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, pointlessly slaughtering 400 ostriches sucks. On the other, I have little sympathy for those who profit off the pain and suffering of others like this company does.

It’d be best if these animals could go to a bird sanctuary.

If this were any other account, I’d get your drift… But you? It’s for cheese, isn’t it? :|

Have you tried paying more?

Lol!

Nonono… just do us a favour and don’t film it. I’ve been scarred enough for a lifetime.

Hairbrush. It’d fit fine, but it’s got rubberized paint that’s coming off the handle. :/

I think yes and no.

I was shocked to find out that a lot of people I knew didn’t understand that cows needed to be continually impregnated to produce milk, or that male chicks were culled en masse as part of the chicken flesh and egg industries. So there definitely is a still a lot of ignorance out there.

I think you’re also right that there’s not a lot of awareness about what a healthy vegan diet looks like.

Further, I think many don’t understand just how cruel animal agriculture really is. But also, a lot of people just don’t want to look.

Most people I know understand that I’ve been vegan for years, so it’s obviously possible to live just fine on a vegan diet. Yet for whatever reason, they don’t seem to care enough to change their behaviour.

It seems to be a combination of anxiety about social exclusion, loss of convenience, loss of pleasure, and fear of change, among others. I find lack of knowledge to be a less common issue.

It’s honestly been a disheartening experience for me, and I’ve lost some faith in humanity as well as the people I’ve held as friends.

Yeah, that’s pretty pedantic. xD

Text emoji is kaomoji, which is the Eastern branch of emoticons, so you’re right, technically it wouldn’t generally include o7, but that’s kinda splitting hairs.

You’re also right, o7 has more broad uses than F, but they do both get used in a usually tongue-in-cheek “condolences” manner. So you can almost always use o7 in the place of F, but not necessarily the other way around.

Yep. Either that, or you’re just exhausted but also caffeinated so can’t sleep, and then you can’t focus all day, and end up being unproductive.

Hopefully it’s for a flight or something, and you’re a good airplane sleeper.

Cool. You go first, asshole. >:(

(Not you, OP, you’re cool.)

I foresee copious amounts of caffeine in your near future.

“o7” is a saluting text emoji. The ‘o’ represents a head, and the ‘7’ is a raised arm. It’s usually used in internet culture when a fictional character dies, or when one dies in a video game.

Similarly, there’s the “Press F to pay respects” meme, which appeared as a quick time event in a video game cut scene (Call of Duty, I think?), and was adopted into sarcastic use by the internet, so “F” and “o7” are kinda used interchangeably.

And the video isn’t even THAT scary. When I first saw this video with a headline about a robot going “berserk”, I expected something closer to terminator like behaviour instead of erratic hand waving. It was clearly just a software bug with no “intent” behind it (apologies for the anthropomorphism).

You’re right, of course, it’s not impossible, but as someone who’s had several significant changes in BMI/body fat in my life, I can tell you exercising when you’re already in decent shape is SO much easier.

Being fat makes a lot of potential options for exercise much more difficult if not outright impossible. One of the biggest ways to stay active is to find something you actually like doing, so the fewer options you have, the harder it is.
