The NDP is very-much a pro- worker party. When the liberals forced the workers into arbitration instead of allowing them to strike, they cut at one of the core issues for the NDP. The liberals committed their act against the railworkers in public, so the response being in public makes sense.

It would be the same as an environmental party publicly cutting ties with a "pro business" party for allowing the creation of new farm land by reducing the size of a national park.

Sizes are very different depending on where you live, so I'm not sure what size you actually are. I have underwear from Asia that's XXL, and underwear from North America that's medium.

Have you tried pocketed underwear?
It'll stop your balls from flopping around without squishing your dick because the fabric is too tight. If you follow the "Keep it slick (hairless) if you want it licked" way of thinking for your balls, it'll also prevent "batwing" by keeping them from touching your thighs.

All of the underwear I wear now are pocketed, some of them are codpiece-styled, which can be fun

This is the first time I've heard of this game, and the first time I heard about Concord was the announcement that it was being pulled.

The reason why some people think they did it was because it was their job to take the mail to the mail room. But they were also the person who needed to go to the mail room to get our mail every day, which they did, every day. If they were already taking the elevator down to the mail room to get the mail, why not take the outgoing mail?!?
We also found out that they were just marking tasks as complete about 20% of the time, so we had to double-check every task assigned to them for the previous 6 months.

I earned my living with a hammer or a forklift for most of my life, and I never thought I would like the office gossip. But, It's kinda great.
It's generally a different level than it was with the construction guys.
"Joanne's boyfriend might be emotionally abusive, and she won't break up with him. Be kind to her."
vs
"John got drunk last night after losing custody, and put his new girlfriend into a coma. We'll need you to help with the gable overhangs."

From my current workplace:
Someone was putting mail in a cabinet under their desk instead of the outbox, we're talking hundreds of letters/cheques/invoices and some life-changing documents from a few months.
The mail outbox was on their desk, and easier to reach than the cabinet.

From previous workplaces:

  • Breaking down a door and raping someone that had barricaded themselves behind said door.
  • Sexual interference.
  • not having a licence, and getting a DUI with a work truck that they stole.

And outrageous in a different way:
for only beating last year's sales by 3% instead of by 4%.

Because of the wildfires "the ocean's at your door" is changed to "smoke obscures some more" in our household.

Does it work when you use a browser? If so, then submit a bug report to Voyager

Works fine on my phone, using an android fork.

Are you viewing this in a normal browser, or through an app?

30% isn't actually that steep when compared with buying physical media; big-box stores tend to run with a number around 30% for their mark-up.

Not sure why you're being down voted, it's a fair question, and I don't have a specific study to link to.

I just have anecdotes from working with criminals, and game theory.

If something will add X% to your time in prison, but has a Y% chance of preventing you from being convicted in the first place, there are numbers where it makes sense to risk it.
Granted, it's much more likely in a single-victim sex-crime scenario than a fraud case that leaves behind kilometer-long paper trails

Firstly, fuck this person and everyone else involved.

Secondly, she was a supportive witness that likely helped to get other convictions. She might be the reason that any money is recovered.

Thirdly, if the sentence for a crime gets too high, murdering the people who can rat you out becomes the best strategy. Dead people don't take the stand. It's why certain awful crimes, like assaulting children, seem to have too light of a sentence.
