Lots do. But do you know anyone that turns JS off anymore? Platforms don’t care if they miss the odd user for this - because almost no one will be missed.

Uh huh.

Breaking news: shitty people did shitty things.

100% me too. I’m lucky enough to live in an NDP vs Green riding so I’ve never had to vote for a status quo bullshit party, but that election promise reneg went straight into the Big Book of Grudges.

How fun! Albertans are well known for responding rationally to being told how they should change their behaviour when faced with a large-scale crisis.

Tim Hortons is shit. I’m convinced that the people who still go there have simply never actually had good coffee or doughnuts and have no basis of comparison.

Even then you’d think all the shitty company practices and inedible sandwiches would encourage them to try somewhere else.

Red Deer? The Boston Pizza of cities?

I’m more of a glass-half-full kind of person. I think we should look at it as “Upcoming wildfire season could be best one for the next 50 years”.

This is some serious wharrgarbl. Doesn’t anyone moderate this kind of literary trash?

I agree. We also need regulation that makes manufacturers responsible for the end costs of their packaging and products. This kind of thinking is starting to come around, as municipalities and taxpayers have finally started waking up to the fact that it’s ultimately our dollars that are paying for the corporations to create as much waste as they want. We’re the ones that have to pay for the garbage pickups and the landfills where it all ends up.

This is terribly incorrect. Space is not a solution. The amount of energy required to send trash into space is very high and therefore expensive, like ~$5000/kg, and would generate a stupid amount of C02. Watch this video, it gives a great perspective on the scope of the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us2Z-WC9rao

Alternatively, the Earth is HUGE. All the garbage ever generated in the history of humankind would fit into a comparatively tiny space. This is obviously a terrible option too, but WAY better than space.

Burning it is also terrible - no matter how good we get the incinerators, they still produce unacceptable levels of dioxins and other chemicals. You are much more likely to get cancer if you live near an incinerator.

The ONLY solution is to stop producing so much plastic.

Do people not know what “bricking” means? This article is about HP disabling features if the printer runs out of ink.

If they bricked it, it would be unrecoverably broken, never to function again.

Was this article written by an insane person?

the current Goldilocks state of the North American economy

What?!

Much of this conflicts with the view, widely expressed in some form by commentators and political leaders of all stripes, that Canadians will benefit if the prices of things like groceries and houses would only go back to the levels they were at in the good old days, say, before the pandemic, so that people could afford them.

…

so that people could afford them.

🤯🤯🤯

No shit?

Fix It Again Tony!

Don’t worry everyone. The free market will take care of this for sure! Deregulated private companies always have the best interests of the consumers at heart!

Hell yeah. Fuck you cultists. Nice work by everyone in that town!

This comment needs to be higher up.

This kind of article isn’t news, it’s marketing.

Good. Fuck landlords, and especially Airbnb landlords. Hopefully other cities will follow suit.
