Your parents are also able to contact the school directly if they really needed to get a hold of you, the reverse is often true as well.

I’m not sure you age but from what I understand, many people between 20-40 have been having issues finding genuine relationships and “situationships” are on the rise. I know several people that claim to be happy having 2-3 half commited partners (whom often also have other partners), but i don’t believe they are that happy, especially compared to a genuine relationship.

As others had said try to just stick to your own personallity and focus on your own happiness, changing yourself or your standards just to get laid often doesn’t work. When i was going through a phase of depression i started seeing a partner whom couldn’t commit to me the way i desired, but i stuck around anyway because it was a nice distraction from my life. A few months later we called it offand there was a fair amount of emotional pain. The relationship was kinda of toxic as well and I’ll probably carry scars from it into my next one. Even just the memories, good or bad, are constant distraction some times. My overall point is don’t commit to it if its not what you genuinely want, good relationships have been on the decline for a while so its not always your fault if you can’t establish one.

This is the main reason I quit. The majority of my reddit traffic for about 10 years was through a 3rd party app. Reddit taking that away was basically a big “fuck you” to all the devs that worked tirelessly to give reddit that mobile traffic. These apps were free and relied on donations or premium purchases.

Maybe the cash could fund clean up efforts, research for restoration?

The oil companies should have to cover ever single expense the coast guard spends on this emergency. It should not be up to the phillipine tax payer to cover these costs while an oil baron rolls in their mountains of cash.

Many Canadians i talk to don’t care about climate change cause they want longer summers and hotter weather and would be happy to never see winter again. If you don’t like winter, move somewhere it doesn’t happen, some of us enjoy all the seasons Canada has to offer.

As a canadian, our country brought in over 1 million imigrants in a year, but we didn’t really do anything to prepare the country for them. We didn’t ensure enough housing would be built to support them, we didn’t build any transit for people to get around cheaply, and we allow private schools to profit off selling them a sub-par education under false pretense.

The mass immigration has helped reveal some of the issues our country already had. Housing was already an issue before, now its even worse. The problem is many people didn’t see these problems building up and now blame the immigrants as the source of the housing crisis and employment issues.

I think it has potential to turn into a racially driven culture war and a significant amount of that sentiment could have been avoided if Canada was more thoughtful and planned the whole process better. I’ve got no problem with immigrants moving to Canada, but I want a country that can actually support them and give them the quality of life that was sold to them. Many immigrants feel lied to about the state of their schooling and the cost of living in Canada.

Big fines, impound, jail time for people caught bypassing their limiters.

So how would a cop catch up to someone who bypass their limiter? Or respond to hostage situation in a timely manner? Or get to another unit who needs assistance?

I think it would just be better to fire cops who abuse their power.

There are some 110 km/h hwys near me. The average speed seems to be 130 km/hr and cops don’t seem to mind until you go faster than that. 20 over seems “acceptable” near me, even in school zones marked 40 km/hr.

The time it takes to determine its a legitmate emergency and not someone making excuses could still have exceeded the emergency response time of an ambulance.

Lower speeds will lower impact forces, increase vehicle handling, and provide more reaction time for drivers.

You wanna go faster than the highway speed limit? Build high speed rail, much safer and a more controled environment.

At a certain point we need to prioritize people’s safety over “vroom vroom”. 200+ km/h is nearly double highway speeds. Children dying from speeding crashes should be much more important than somebodys ego and desire to speed.

Why can someone even drive a car that can go that fast on public streets? Countries should enforce speed limiters on vehicles brought into their country for roadway use. It may not prevent drunks from driving, but it could slow them down and prevent some deaths and injury. People don’t even need to be drunk for these speeds to be dangerous.

Canada voted a guy in on the basis of electoral reform and nearly a decade later we have no changes there and political theatre mirroring the two party american way of “don’t vote for him, he’s way worse than me!”

We need our politicians to be accountable for inaction, misrepresentation, excessive lobbying, and failure to provide campaign promises.

They should be getting far more than 4.5 years for doing borderline slavery and illegally detaining/kidnapping.

I agree, everyone thinks cars, bikes, buses, and people all should follow the same line along the same corridor. Having bike lanes seperated more can be very benefecial and helps seperation without need for physical barriers. For example a road could run down the center of a commercial area, with a dedicated BRT lane, and bike/ped pnaes closer to the businesses or even a seperate enterance/laneway behind the businesses dedicated to people.

But most of North America thinks a painted bicycle gutter along a busy road, crossing many car intersections and entrances is the best we can build.

I see where you are coming from there. My comment is mostly concerned with north america and our street/road design and layout is awful. There are many school zones where cars could easily exceed 100km/h if the driver wanted to. Because of these deisgns I think it is best we keep cyclists and pedestrains as seperated from cars until better street design and traffic calming can be massively implemented. The scale of the street redesign is massive and would have to be city wide to be truly effective.

An easier and cheaper start to pitch politically would be proper bike lanes along major corridors. A few years down the line streets along those lanes would improve and the city could slowly redevelop.

I wish I could just snap my fingers and have safe streets but stroads and the attitude of driving is so bad in much of north america we are going to have to fix it in stages. We can’t just convert our stroads overnight unfortunately.

A better option is to make seperate intersections for cars and bikes. Bike lanes do not exclussively have to run right next to the car lanes.
