Meh, I get it, I'm in your space, it's all good.

I'm not a Christian, so can you help me understand how you believe your god loves everyone? Like it just seems impossible to me to reconcile that idea with reality.

Wikipedia says it's attributed to King David but doesn't give more context. Maybe cursing someone that betrayed him?

Pub(l)ic parts then

If that part of the picture was fake they wouldn't have correctly portrayed the shadows of the banister spindles below the wall mounted handrail (in the reflection). Not visible in the direct view because of the spindles themselves.

Conflation is antisemitic, and blaming Canadian Jews for what Israel is doing is unacceptable. I think we should be asking Canada's Jewish communities to use their special relationship(s) with Israel to apply maximum pressure to stop the genocide and famine.

I think you should write a letter to your MP first. The Israeli ambassador second. A local Israeli consular official third (if applicable). Your MLA/MPP fourth. Any organizations you're part of that have a special relationship with Israel.

...Then talk to your Jewish friends to explain that you've reached out to the people most responsible for communicating with Israel, but if they feel they have a special relationship with Israel you'd really appreciate it if they'd use whatever influenece they have to make it clear that Canada's Jewish community doesn't support the genocide of Gaza.

CBC's podcast Front Burner recently did an interview with a UNICEF worker that had just returned from Gaza, it's heartbreaking.

I for one appreciate your satire of Quebecois' xenophobia, but I think it went over the heads of many.

Yeah I went 80% next which was too high. 72% is very close to the answer in the link.

Fascinating!

 

My neighbour (40/m) ("N") confided that his recently retired father (70/m) ("G") has started going to the casino twice a day (all day but he comes home for dinner).

G's losses affect the food they eat (multi generational household).

N doesn't really know what to do. I'm not so concerned for N, moreso his mother/G's wife.

It's not my business but, when I was a kid my boyscout leader committed suicide after gambling away his house so I'm pretty sensitive to this sort of thing. I'd like to help if I can.

Any advice?

This goose has adopted my parents, and is attempting to establish residency in their cabin. We suspect it is domestic and escaped from its coop. It's a seasonal cabin and they're planning to close up soon. What should they do? Central Ontario. Near Bracebridge.

UPDATE: A neighbor of theirs is set up for chickens, so could accommodate a goose. And shortly after making that arrangement an ad appeared in the community message board. So the goose is going home.

 

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the scale of the problem of nuclear waste. If we took all the nuclear waste produced in a year and evenly blended it into all gasoline burned in a year would the radiation be deadly? Dangerous? Detectable?

It's easiest to get numbers for the US.

2 000 000 kg of waste per year

510 000 000 000 Liters of gasoline

Obviously this isn't a real proposal, although I think it would reduce carbon emissions...

 

Wikipedia says

A superhero or superheroine is a stock character that typically possesses superpowers, abilities beyond those of ordinary people, and fits the role of the hero, typically using their powers to help the world become a better place, or dedicating themselves to protecting the public and fighting crime.

So yes, he is definitely dedicated to protecting the public, but it feels wrong to call him a super hero. What do you think?
