Lets not forget some of them are creeps touching women on the dance floor. Those are the fucking worst cuz they always play the victim card when women retaliate. From a venue perspective you have to do something about them. Cuz if women don't feel safe at your venue you are 100% going out of business.

I worked at a venue where multiple bars nearby shared their patronscan ban list cuz we were having problem guys leaving one bar and starting problems in the next one. But not enough to get them arrested.

I have mixed feelings. As someone mentored by a 40 year industry veteran I know that bouncers also crossed the line regularly. I wish I could prescribe a middle ground but I don't how one would define that.

too complicated

It's not scaleable.

Imagine trying to rely on that system in a club of >500 patrons with 15 security guards and 2 entrances?

Imagine waiting in line to get in while they check every single face against a wall of 100+ photos

Also at what point is this trouble maker going to sit nicely so I can get a recognizable photo in a dark room with smoke strobe lights?

Lets say I ban a guy mid-shift. How do I communicate that to the rest of the security team? Leave my door to show everyone the photo? Have everyone else leave their post to check the wall?

What you're saying works, it just doesn't scale.

It's very much people wanting to have their cake and eat it to. People want trouble makers to see justice, but we also don't want to live in a society ruled by violence.

What most Gen-Z and younger folk don't know is that before cameras were everywhere, trouble makers were taught violently who would not tolerate their trouble makery.

But now trouble makers only answer to the cameras that can prove them guilty in a court of law. Hence why alcohol venues are logging ID's. Because insurance companies are tired of paying out lawsuits, and government regulators are tired of alcohol venues getting people drunk and causing problems.

I think you're pretty on point.

EoD the subscriptions aren't generating an ROI. I could see companies justifying losses in the 1st year and not accepting it will never be viable until after 2 fiscal years is the red.

I'll never forget how my trust fund baby ex-friend gleefully described himself as a savvy investor for putting stocks into oil and gas.

They don't know that they have no clue.

Rich people will instinctively drag us under like a panicked person drowning.

Cool. Yea I don't know what kind of game I wanna make, but the idea of playing around with a popular engine sounds fun.

stupidest son of a bitch on the planet

It's not like he's trying to convince anyone that isn't categorically a runner up in the same contest.

Meanwhile right wing internet would be distributing khakis and trudgens.

Basically its a roof rack solar panel with a battery inside (includes AC outlet), extra fold out panels that cover the length of the car, and a charge cable for the car. They're about $5000 USD and are shipping the first ones out in Q3 this year.

As someone who lives in an appt and commutes, this would make an electric vehicle much more viable as there is no charging stations in my building or at my work. I saw this and immediately began researching what vehicle models would be coming to Canada in 2028.

TLDR Health Canada > CDC+FDA. Don't eat American produce if you don't wanna poop your pants.

By February 2026, USDA’s Food Safety Inspection Service had lost 913 staff, while the Food and Nutrition Service lost 564. The agency’s National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection was also axed. All told, more than 20,000 workers left USDA last year.

Cyclosporiasis is caused by Cyclospora cayetanensis, a single-celled parasite that lives exclusively in humans and causes particularly violent and long-lasting diarrhea. Infection is almost always through ingesting food or water contaminated with feces containing cyclospora oocysts; these take many days to become infectious, so person-to-person transmission is very unlikely.

In an American context, cyclosporiasis outbreaks are almost always caused by improper sanitation at farms or food processing facilities. Farmers around the world routinely refuse to provide adequate toilet or handwashing facilities for their workers if they think they can get away with it, to save money.

PS:

IMO we're going to see quality control issues in every single American export. I would be extremely wary of using medications or medical devices produced in the USA. With no government entities enforcing regulations we have to assume corners will be cut at the expense of quality and safety.

The other day I had an idea that could reduce a lot of waste and save people money.

Retailers/Manufacturers of consumable products like hand soaps/household cleaners should be required to sell/produce larger size refills for smaller size bottles.

I would like to compile a list of smaller ideas like this to send to Avi and my local NDP candidate.

Anyone got ideas?

The List so far:

  • Retailers/Manufacturers of consumable products like hand soaps/household cleaners should be required to sell/produce larger size refills for smaller size bottles. (Canaconda)

  • standardizing the size, shape, volume of these prepackaged goods (GodofLies)

  • reusable container system at a higher governmental level (GodofLies)

  • Add Repurposing program to municipal recycling and expand where successful

  • Incorporate retirees into child support / education on a volunteer basis.

 

To keep things organized I'm going to put each platform section as it's own top level comment for people to discuss underneath. This is copy & paste from the website linked but I'm highlighting all the measurable promises. Feel free to comment anything I've missed.
