This is the “pro-Palestine group are anti-semetic” strawman argument played out in real life. To be anti-genocide/Pro-Palestine does not make one anti-Semitic; it is anti-Semitic to assume all Jewish people support the Israeli State apartheid and to conflate Zionism with Judaism.

But I’m just preaching to the choir here

Title feels a bit click-baity, but truly I think the waiver is reasonable. If you want food prepared outside our food safety standards and laws, you should have to waive the right to sue if you get yourself sick and die. Whether it will actually hold in court is contestable.

This is an incredibly biased article that elevates a voice equating the support of ending the Palestinian genocide with anti-semitism, which is demonstrably false.

I would argue that of the three items you listed (bananas, coffee, chocolate) that the main reason those items are “cheap” is exploitation of the workers and economies of the global south.

This is just one popular science article on the topic, and it just brushes the surface of how colonial politics have stripped the global south of resources while simultaneously building capital in the global north.

This single pane comic is the jist of it.

This.

Actually, the money we allocated to border control occurred in December 2024, at least a month before Trump threatened tariffs. Trudeau then gave it a fun name (Fentanyl Czar) and Trump accepted that as yielding to his demands. We didn’t budge an inch, but we bought ourselves a month.

I’m sorry you experienced that. That is horrible and should never be your problem as a nurse. Security should have been there for you.

You did nothing wrong. In fact, your body responded in the best way possible for your safety. Staying still is a stress response, and while it was horrible to endure, your body chose it because it was likely to keep you safe until your adrenaline dropped and you could think rationally again. Had you run, or fought, or tried to explain yourself the situation would have likely escalated.

I know in hindsight it feels like maybe if you had done “something else” or something different, things would have changed, but you have no control over that other person and it sounds like grief was taking the reins for them. It wasn’t about you, it was about losing their family member, and you were the quickest target for that aggression. There was nothing you could have done to change that outcome, and I think your body made the safest choice of also doing nothing.

Systematically, you shouldn’t have to endure that ever. Workplace harassment and violence is a big deal and healthcare workers deserve better.

As for me, I would have balled my eyes out and panicked and ran cause I can’t tolerate that level of stress, and it probably would have escalated or got violent.

You mean… the cloaca?

I’m worried this will embolden the bigots of the North and justify some of the terrifying things happening in Prairie politics with anti-trans laws and involuntary placement of homeless people into mental hospitals (AKA the rise of Sanitoriums).

You can get numbed and sedated? I’ve had two IUD inserted in Canada with no option of numbing or sedation. I understand why some might want it, but it’s not standard practice here, nor would I consider it inhumane to perform it without.

Second the advice to remove your degree for low-paying work. I had some insight into hiring when I was young and saw a ton of well-educated people get their resumes tossed because the hiring manager assumed they would leave right away.

To these hiring managers: Educated people need to eat too, jackass.

And poor understanding of women’s diseases. Most models in textbooks are based on men, and women’s health is considered a “specialty”.

This gives me the giggles.

If you are referring to actors and intimacy coordinators, I think I have you covered.

Sex isn’t just a physical act, it is an emotional one. Acting is taking a script and adding believable emotion to physical actions while staying true to the scene and what the director wants. Sexual behavior can cause emotions to rise and bring out spontaneous or unpredictable actions and feelings, which can ruin scenes and traumatize actors.

Intimacy coordinators are present in the acting industry to help actors navigate the unexpected feelings that may arise and keep actors safe. The last thing you want to happen while filming a rape scene when actors are channeling really intense emotions is for real violence to happen. That is why intimacy coordinators are very very important beyond merely dressing actors to prevent sexual contact in sex scenes.

My partner programmed me a birthday card, so the programming flirt is real.

Honestly, it’s telling that the province’s that want this argument removed are the ones most likely to abuse the notwithstanding clause to infringe on charter rights. Why else should they oppose it?

Penicillin is one of many types of bread mould.

I too will probably die from bread mould poisoning given my stingy habits with food waste. It’s fine if it’s only the white/blue type, right?

I’m experiencing just a minor pain surge from stress right now, and it feels debilitating. It’s hard explaining why a headache or backache takes your out of commission. I live my life at 3/10, so a two point increase makes life REALLY hard.

Amazing meme, 10/10, no notes.

We would love a Ted Lasso of Lemmy. Welcome aboard!
