Only if churches stop portaying Jesus as a white man. 😄

The EU recently announced they will give $54 billion in aid to Ukraine, in addition to over $70 billion already sent.

The States sent over $70 billion in aid so far.

Everyone is pitching in, man. Except China. 🙄

I’ve never been in a situation where I needed insurance to replace all my stuff, and hope I never do.

My priority are lives (people, pets, etc.), and data that can’t be replaced.

The high value items are important to replace, because I couldn’t afford to replace them all at once.

For stuff like clothing, if I had to replace it all, I’d probably take the minimalist route and get the bare minimums. I’d probably prefer that, even if EVERYTHING could be replaced.

I tend to keep things simple. I’ll keep a folder with high value items listed in their own sub folder.

I’ll keep a copy of the receipt; photos of the serial number and UPC; depending on the item, I’ll have photos of it; and a text document with the warranty period listed.

It’s easy enough to find the right folder when I need it. And since it’s rare that I’ll need to retrieve this information, I don’t put any more effort into it than that.

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour! It’s about damn time! 😂

For sure. I was one of those dad’s who did all that.

But that doesn’t compare to staying home with them all day, losing a career because of them, changing your appearance, etc.

I don’t fault women at all for not wanting them.

I wonder how many stay at home dads in the survey responded by saying they’d want more.

If a paid streaming service give users a worse experience than pirating, that’s on them!

People who are dissatisfied with their day-to-day lives blame our Federal Government, who happens to be the Liberals right now.

But the reality is that Conservative provincial leaders are the ones who’ve made their lives miserable. Housing, education, transportation, healthcare, cost of living… all provincial matters.

Conservative voters just don’t know/want to know this fact.

Yeah, it’s easier to want something when someone else is taking on the burden of that responsibility.

I would believe that only if these people say/do horrible things while in their group.

The reality is, they are just as hateful in private as they are in public.

Why do Conservatives have to live their entire lives finding new groups of people to hate for no good reason?

Because they hate themselves.

It’s like they all have a bully complex, but failed to outgrow being that 12-year-old jackass in elementary school.

What a strange headline.

This wasn’t government savings, but families who hunkered down during the pandemic and reduced spending so they could keep more money in the bank.

There is absolutely no obligation for them to spend that money.

Go after billionaires who are hoarding all the wealth. The top five could spend $350B in a weekend.

The first one is based on brain scans, which is hard to refute.

Yes, but the participant selection was dubious.

Also, while brain scans are used, it’s impossible to form a conclusion based on it.

For instance, do men with less grey matter watch more porn? Or does watching more porn cause men to have less grey matter?

A similar study was done on vegetarians. I don’t recall the details, but it went somewhere along the lines of “vegetarians have more brain activity associated with empathy”. Does that mean vegetarianism improves empathy? Or do empathetic people naturally gravitate towards vegetarianism?

Behavioral studies are so much harder to do compared to health studies. I don’t envy the study coordinators!

But more data can always bring us closer to answers, so I’m glad that at least some informational gaps are being filled.

There seems to be a lot of issues with the methodology used in those studies.

For example, “…reported hours of pornography consumption per week…”. Hours seems excessive. What’s the average duration for all visitors?

And, “Women were excluded from the research, because men more easily encounter such problems due to their frequent contact with pornographic materials.”. That’s an assumption. Women can also have "frequent contact " with porn, so they should have included women.

And one of them seemed to suggest that men who watched more porn had ED. But maybe men with ED first, have had to use porn to help? Chicken and egg situation.

I’m not defending porn, and I tend to make data driven choices.

But I’m acutely aware that methodology can have averse effects on the conclusion, and I tend to be highly skeptical of studies that appear to manipulate the outcome with their selection bias.

Let’s find the loopholes in all these customer service chat, boys!

Hey, if you end up with free stuff, it’s their employee’s fault. 🤗

Because waterfront properties are valuable

More valuable to wildlife and our natural ecosystem.

But yes, it’s always about money and property value.

I can’t wait for the new residents to complain about coyotes trying to eat their dogs. God knows, we get enough complaints about wildlife entering urban areas… after their natural habitats were destroyed so we can build a few more houses.

We have a large section of green space running alongside the waterfront trail in Oshawa.

Home to butterflies, coyotes, deer, and a quite a few different bird species. Now completely levelled and being prepped for new houses. Why in that space? I’d love to know!

In case everyone missed it, I did tag my comment as sarcasm… 🙄

11 terrorism charges sounds like multiple life sentences to me.

Or approx. 6 months in the Canadian “justice” system. /s 😒

Oh, sounds like a terrorist group. Arrest and charge them as terrorists.
