~~No, I am responding based on the whole article.~~
What the fuck does "believed to be" mean in this sentence? Why do we not know? Were they hired protection? Are they a trained professional? Or are they an idiot with a gun who thinks they're an action hero?
The article is very unclear on this front.
EDIT: Ha, no I wasn't. Ad space is pervasive, and I had believed I had read the whole article when I had only read like a fifth of it.
Based response tbh.
While you are overreacting to the accident itself, driving is not for everyone. I strongly disagree with driving being a basic skill everyone should have. This is some North American cultural mythos created to help further push the responsibility of building decent public transit off of our lawmakers and governments.
Driving is a challenging thing to do correctly, and a not small number of people have no idea how to do it, but are on the roads anyway. While I believe you should take an accident like that with a growth mindset, the clear truth is you've never felt comfortable behind the wheel, and your skill set doesn't seem to be built for that. If it's important to you, I suspect you'd be capable of overcoming the unique challenges it presents to you, but it's not. There are ways to live without being a driver, and things you can provide to others in exchange for them being the drivers in your life, and imo, that is fine.
Don't quit driving because you had an accident. Decide if being able to drive matters to you, and decide how you want to live.
I still have the CD in a box somewhere. It was loaned to me by a friend and I never gave it back. Hilariously, I still see that friend, so that might make for a fun conversation.
38% is in fact shockingly high.
What the fuck is this slop posing as academic study, lmfao. "arcruacy"? "tinking"? Using a pile of academic language around slop doesn't make that slop accurate or useful, and the joke that is the writing style shows that this wasn't reviewed by anyone with a brain cell.
As of this week, according to the latest MLS stats circulating on industry social media, there are now more than an astounding 32,000 active residential real estate listings in the GTA, not even counting never-lived-in units. This is the most in many years, perhaps ever, and has created the largest disparity the city has seen between supply and demand.
So then reduce the prices.
You can't call it a collapse, complain about all the supply you have, refuse to reduce prices, and rally to the praises of free-market capitalism. The market has spoken. You have overvalued your property. Now give us houses and take your loss.
I might have misread a b as an m.
Well, I can be wrong, and they can still be fuckwits.
So DOGE's cuts saved just ~~over $150 million~~ (apparently I can't read), and we've already burned through most of those saving mobilizing the national guard to tear gas people foolish enough to claim Trump isn't king? Fantastic. I am so tired of all this "winning."
Edit: I misread some stuff but the essence of the absurdity I am directing my anger at remains the same. Fuck fascism.
I do want to state that the flight model has NOTHING on Elite. But otherwise, it is in a lot of ways a game which I wish Elite was a lot closer to.
"A person believed to be part of a peace keeping team" and "people running security" are not the same thing. At a glance this looks like the "good guy with a gun" mythos that pro-gun advocates keep spreading cost an innocent person their life.
If this is professional security who fucked up, sure, there's a discussion to be had. If this is a volunteer peacekeeper who showed up strapped, he is part of the problem, not the solution.
