I think people get lost sometimes because the thought/story that triggered the tangent can continue for a bit before the tangent is shared. The tangential moment sticks out for the one wanting to share their tangent but it otherwise is a normal moment of the thought/story for others.

Canada has also been threatened to be annexed by its neighbour with a particularly notorious military. Even if its just dementia riddled ramblings, Canada should be becoming more defense independent.

That road is wide enough to fit 3 cars wide in its current state. The age of the roadway is irrelevant, they could have designated more space to pedestrians and still accommodate 2 lanes worth of car traffic.

Its just a Smart Pipe rip off

I think it is reasonable to assume that there is not a centuries old designation to dedicate the majority of the space to cars. Its very likely they could dedicate the space exclussively to bicycles and pedestrians and still fit a centuries old rule.

From other comments it seems to be designed that way to accommodate a war memorial and possibly transports/lorries needed more room for the turn. There is also apparently better access on the other side.

If you wanna make the argument that there just isn't enough room for stuff, private vehicles taking up surface level real estate and often sit empty are a bigger target than sidewalks.

This picture must be a very unique angle. The blue building looks farther back from the road than the clare evans building in the background across the street.

That road looks wide enough to fit 3 cars wide and it seems to be a one way street. They wouldn't have to sacrafice the war memorial or remove the historic buildings to provide more room for pedestrians.

Sorry i didn't recognize it as a town, it has more density than an average north american city would which is where I'm from.

By walker i meant someone using a mobility device, often used by seniors.

Why should we even be accommodating babies in our city? It not like they pay any taxes

How does a wheelchair, baby stroller, or walker fit down that? I guess it doesn't and the city doesn't care about those people

Lmao the same technique a couple crackheads would use to pawn your tv. Given the nature of the heist our minds like to imagine a big conspiracy like in the movies with insider info etc, but nah just a classic smash n grab.

I've been having some minor issues with comments. Once a comment thread gets longer than 3 or 4 comments, accesing those deeper comment chains becomes very inconsistent/impossible. The "view more" button to see the rest of the comments will sometimes just disappear or do nothing when pressed. When accessing deep threads from my inbox or profile it will start at the top of the comment thread and fail to load/access the deeper comments, including the comment I used to navigate to that thread. Has anyone else had similar issues or found solutions?

 

The past couple updates whenever I'm browing "all" with sort set to "hot" the first few pages of scrolling is accurate but then it turns to posts that are 6months-2years old. This is only after 1-2 minutes of scrolling. Has anyone else had this issue?
