Watch your cornhole, bud.

You're basically just proving my point. The first half is "irrelevant", as you said, or "unrelated", as I said. You're filling in gaps from the first half to the second half.

The post goes (paraphrased): It seems like an oversight to not have this feature of having individuals in multiple households. It got me thinking. Companies can choose not to hire you if your parents weren't married.

You've filled in the "it got me thinking" with "....they encountered this issue with a minor thing, started reading up on it online, and when digging into that kind of stuff ended up reading on what the legal situation is...."

That's exactly what I said is the mental gymnastics in response to OP's question, and you're filing it in like they actually explained it.

Yeah, it feels like a big leap to go from the first part to the second. Like, how are they related? Hence, mental gymnastics.

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

But how many are going to want this feature? I'm betting the number of people who use the one household feature is already relatively small. And, that barely works properly as it is.

I'm not the one you asked, but: They're not discriminating, they have a feature that allows a group, maybe a household, to be managed together and share features. Going from "they don't support this niche feature" to "they're discriminating against me" is the mental gymnastics.

I bet you're a double dipper.

This is misinformation.

However, the number listed, 1-877-330-6366, does not connect to a Canadian government service. It connects to Trans Lifeline, a nonprofit, peer-led support line that has served both American and Canadian transgender people since 2014. No new Canadian hotline has been created for LGBTQ+ Americans.

It doesn't say it in this article, but it was triggered by a 15-year-old going for help.

A few red flags. It's a bible camp, it acts as a "rehab" centre, it has a message on its website in the chin language from Myanmar (interesting for the trafficking part.)

But... Maybe this one isn't actually that bad?

Does that matter anymore?

I love that this is a crosspost

Looks a bit like a seal skull to me.

Edit: maybe a South American sea lion

"Uhh, I was just saying hi, I didn't want your life story."

Or, to fit with the theme...

"Uh sir, this is a Wendy's."

 

More than $485 million in illicit drugs and drug ingredients seized in rural B.C. community

Some excerpts:

According to police, the amount of fentanyl and other materials seized would have amounted to more than 95,500,000 potentially lethal doses and worth an estimated $485 million in profit.

The "superlab" was located in the community of Falkland, B.C., an unincorporated community about 50 kilometetres east of Kamloops.

The Mounties say the bust is a "decisive blow" to those who organized it and that in addition to the facility in Falkland, several locations in Surrey were also searched.

Aside from the drugs, which included 54 kilograms of fentanyl, 390 kilograms of methamphetamine and 35 kilograms of cocaine, police also seized 89 firearms, several small explosives, body armour and $500,000 in cash.

 
 

Editorialized title to indicate this happened yesterday since it's not breaking news now.

 

Here are articles about the project:

I could swear I was just looking at the sign a few days ago with an unimpeded view.

There are a few vendors set up, but not like other times I've been here.

 

It looks like there is a market inside the grounds, but I'm not interested in paying over $100 to shop for local crafts...
