having to download an app, create an account, and enter my car's make, model, colour, and license plate just so I can pay for 10 minutes of parking

Some people say we don’t build beautiful things anymore and, like, lol. Motherfuckers, we built this:

A graph from Our World In Data showing a precipitous drop in child mortality starting in the late 1800s going from an average of 48% to global rate of 27% in 1950 to the 2020 infant mortality rate of 4%, with some countries having a rate as low as 0.3%

I hate the auto text summarizing so much. If a friend has sent me a heartfelt message the first thing I see before I open it is some creepy shit like “gratitude expressed; importance of friendship conveyed.”

It feels like the possibility never even entered her mind that sometimes medical complications occur and are nobody's fault -- if something goes wrong, there must always be someone I can sue. The extent to which she viewed her surrogate as a dehumanized incubator was so upsetting to read.

The first demonstration for gay rights in Canada was a march on Parliament Hill in August, 1971. Ottawa celebrates pride in August to commemorate this!

thank you #aircanada for this never-ending customer service loop (except without any actual customer service)

Two successive text messages say the following:

Omg lol AC sent me an email
with a link to follow if I wanted to request a refund. When I clicked that I wanted a refund it told me I had to phone a number to request a refund. When I phoned that number and followed the prompts, an automated voice told me that in order to request a refund I needed to follow the instructions that were sent to me via email.

It did give me the option to speak with an agent, but then when I requested that it said that they could not connect me to an agent due to exceptionally high call volumes

Sooo he thinks people who "block traffic" are let off too easy, but blocking the roads of entire neighbourhoods for weeks is okay?

Yup! Asking someone how they spent their weekend or how their day is going is not just "pointless small talk" it's giving them an opportunity to offer up information about themselves! Asking how someone's day is going is not bad conversation skills, but just answering "it's good" is.

WHY do some people act as though the only way to get to know someone is to ask a complete stranger all their deepest hopes and fears? You can say "what did you do this weekend?" and they say "I went hiking" and you say "I love hiking! do you do a lot of it?" and BAM you're getting to know each other

Blaming Black Lives Matter for the rising distrust in public health institutions is...certainly a choice

I run errands after the gym all the time. It's fine. I don't think someone potentially catching a whiff of my sweat counts as a serious harm to society.

it is scary because tons of people use chatgpt as a source of information, even though it regularly produces false info. and even though it's not conscious or thinking, many people would read its "apologies" as sincerity and be likely to further trust it as reliable

Really incredible to have CTV, an entire broadcast news outlet, say they 'don't have the bandwidth' to deal with the type of harassment that Rachel Gilmore deals with as an individual journalist all the time.
