A corporate watchdog was still accepting complaints right up until the point Prime Minister Mark Carney announced its dissolution — seemingly out of nowhere — despite saying the decision to discontinue the office was made "months" earlier. The Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise (CORE) was introduced under former prime minister Justin Trudeau in 2019 to investigate potential human rights abuses committed by Canadian companies operating abroad. During an unrelated news conference last month, Carney mentioned in passing that the government had decided to eliminate the role, claiming it was ineffective. "Part of government is to look at things and see whether or not they're effective and try to improve it," the prime minister said at the time.

I wish there was a sports game where both teams could lose.

men will do literally anything other than engaging in pro-social community-oriented behavior and then get online and complain about how masculinity is vilified and men aren't allowed to be heroes anymore

[roycohn]

"all men really want is to feel like the hero" okay then volunteer at a food bank. get narcan training. step in when a woman is being harassed on the street. help out an elderly neighbor with shopping or home repairs. learn how to safely de-escalate fights. help your friends move. join or start your workplace union. become a big brother or volunteer coach for kids' sports. clean up your local park or get involved in some local conservation campaign. do your own damn dishes. notice what needs to be done and then do it. the world doesn't need heroes, it needs helpers. there are literally so many paths to finding a sense of self-respect and worth through pro-social behaviors that improve your immediate local community and help build your network of close personal connections. but these guys don't give a shit about actually contributing anything to the world. they just want to whine and fantasize.

[roycohn]

their inherent lack of self-respect is belied not only by the fact that they can't imagine doing anything that contributes to building a better, more resilient society, but how they can't imagine that doing so might involve a lot of small acts and choices and not one big act of heroism that gets them on the news as Big Man Of The Year.

Let's say I really wanted to reduce the number of children who die in car accidents. Car accidents are really bad, right? Nobody disagrees about that. And it would be much better for both the environment and the kids' health if they spent more time walking, or taking the bus. Perfectly reasonable. More cars off the road, safer roads, fewer kids getting hurt, healthier kids. A win-win!

Therefore, let's ban children from traveling by car and require all cars to have a scanner on the door that scans the government ID of everyone who gets in the car to make sure no kids are in there. After all, kids get hurt in car accidents all the time! We need to ban this right away!

Normal groceries like milk or bread or whatever running out is whatever. Just anotha day. But when stuff like salt or cooking oil or rice runs out it feels like You’re supposed to be here for me and you’re leaving. You’re just like everyone else

Emos & scene kids got this close to abolishing gender for real. I try not to think about it too much.

[shamebats]

The idea of a popular teenage subculture where girl & boys pretty much all dress the same feels impossible now but for a while it was reality and it was beautiful.

[nivialku7]

I’m compelled to remind people of that time in the 2008 in Mexico when mob violence occurred on the basis of people absolutely fucking hating emos whenever we start romanticizing being alt in the bygone decades past.

Indeed, it was transgressive, and the world noticed

I keep seeing this article on lists of "funniest Wikipedia articles" and maybe we should think about why

both 30 years old, born on the same day at precisely the same millisecond, but she was born in the state of Arizona which does not observe daylight savings time so one could possibly make the (weak) argument that she's an hour older. problematic age gap?

[amazoogle]

alright alright how about this other chick. she was born orbiting a black hole and due to relativistic effects currently unexplained by established models we are both 14 million years younger than eachother. help me with the ethics of this

[amazoogle]

definitionally yes

[apolladay]

Adults who are NOT Gen X/Millennials (or older lol); do y'all have fever dream movies/shows?*

Poll doesn't apply to me**

Yep! (what is it?)

I'm not sure...

Nope!

Nuance

Y'all sure went through it/I have no idea what you're talking about/Results

Remaining time: 6 days 9 hours

*I know for a lot of us "older" generations it's things like Return to Oz and Neverending Story. Movies you watched more than a few times as a young child, then as you got older went....wait hang on that was real?? It was so fucked up though??? And since movies (especially ones geared towards kids) are becoming more and more sanitized I'm wondering if people are still having these experiences?

Please share if you do have a movie/show memory like this!!

**if you fall into the Gen X/Millennial (or older!) category go ahead and share your worst version of this!! I'm also genuinely curious what movies/shows did this outside the US/English speaking countries. Of course if you're not an adult and still have memories like this do share them as well!

And also since she seems to be from Ireland even though I don't even know shit about eu laws from what little I do know this is a big violation of GDPR and should be reported as such!! https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/rights-citizens/redress/what-should-i-do-if-i-think-my-personal-data-protection-rights-havent-been-respected_en
