Let's talk about the Best Mayor In The World, as voted on by various people, the first of his name, Naheed Nenshi. At first I thought "no, he's actually quite a poo poo mayor" but then I saw literally every other mayor in Canada past and present, and it turns out he's actually extremely good.

The result would be something out of a loving horror film. No immigrant or can of soup would be safe!

RGuy has gone mad with power, EvilJoven and James Baud both have probations from the CanPol thread! Frankly I don't understand the theory of modship that would justify huge probations and bans for both CI and Tiny Brontosaurus, other than trying to generate huge amounts of mostly inoffensive, mind-numbing tedium.

vyelkin posted:the boston pizza experience is going to a generic restaurant to pay a 10x markup for digiornio or, if you're feeling adventurous, for spaghetti with classico's sauce on it The Keg experience is what you get if you had some corporate-type rear end in a top hat go to a proper steakhouse and then try to replicate the experience by hiring exclusively 20-something alcoholics, just with a far worse wine list. They trick you into thinking their food isn't poo poo, because the restaurant looks nice, but it's still garbage.

classico is great @ $2 on sale, get the pesto and don't buy pasta at lovely fast-casual restaurants

vyelkin posted:better yet buy a proper pasta cookbook and learn to make your own sauce for a million times better eating, also impress all your friends by making proper food for them On the other hand sometimes you get lazy, which is generally when you'd go to a poo poo-tier place like The Keg or BP, in which case "boil pasta and pour sauce out of jar" is an attractive option. But, yeah, learning how to cook well is awesome and everyone should do it.

Risky Bisquick posted:How many kids do you have in your downtown condo lifestyle where you cook from scratch daily dream? None, you don't say If I can make pasta sauce, pizza, burgers, etc. when drunk off my rear end (and I have!) then you can do it with kids around. Better yet, once they're old enough, involve them with the parts they can safely handle so they learn a fundamental life skill, and then when they go off to live on their own they'll be able to properly feed themselves. My parents always cooked meals from scratch and let me help out. It was actually a great way to spend time as a family.

I wonder how Homo sapiens with children survived for thousands of generations before we had the Keg and Boston Pizza. I should get funding from the federal government to study it.

To be fair, if my only exposure to transit were Calgary Transit, I'd assume it really loving sucks as a concept too. We need better examples to show people, "no, transit can be good, and not make you fear for your personal safety and pray for death as you wait an hour for your bus!"

Terror Sweat posted:They've also made it pretty difficult to gently caress with tax returns that were filed online. I'm pretty sure elections could be done online, the real problem is that it would drastically increase voter turnout, not nebulous "hacking" by some third party Securing a tax return is easier. It only needs to be read by the sender and the intended recipient, and there is no need to disassociate the identity of the sender from the data itself. For online voting to work, you would need a system where the sender cannot be known, the data is readable by everyone yet cannot be altered, and it must be easy enough to use that everyone can do it on any platform. I'm no expert, but I can't think of any cryptosystem that satisfies all these criteria.

I went to school with a bunch of First Nations kids when I was in grade 6 or 7, and, oddly enough, it turns out when they aren't getting systematically hosed around by prejudice, poverty, and all the other poo poo we heap on First Nations communities, they're actually really nice people for the most part, like literally every other group of people on earth. But oh boy, moving from a long way away from that area, did 11-year-old PT6A sure not understand the politics involved with hanging out and playing basketball with the native kids...
