that they know of
Considering how hard it is to determine if this is real or not, I'd assume it's an attempt to see what they can get away with.
If a kid, or parent, complains; hey, that was a test, and you passed.
If not, you do the next class.
If a child attempts to initiate a sexual relationship with an adult, it's the adult's job to say no.
The reason it's impossible to have a non-abusive sexual relationship between adults and pre-pubescents is that their brains literally work differently. Kids brains are far more trusting and open, because they need to rely on adults, and thus can be manipulated by adults. After puberty their brain chemistry and even structure changes to be that of an adult.
For this reason I have far less of a problem with a 40yo/20yo relationship than a 20yo/14yo.
And if you're going to be so obsessive about it, post some links.
No, you just realize that the threat never ends and it's up to you to stand your ground. Same as it ever was.
Title is wrong, infant mortality dropped by ~9%, not half.
It looks like infants deaths per thousand hover around 6.0 for a decade at least then drop to 5.8 in 2020 and 2021.
Thanks for the data, but is that a legit site? What kind of government reporting tool uses .com and not .gov?
He's making a list He's checking it twice...
Like requiring teachers to wear condoms while teacher: safer than the alternative but it's clear that something has gone horribly wrong.
The truth seems to be there isn't anyone or anything looking out for us
This is the entitled perspective.
You live in a universe that has physical laws which allow life to happen; the odds of this are vanishingly small.
You live on the only planet we know of that can support live.
You had the incarnation of God hand you the cheat codes to living in said universe in a way that brings salvation from suffering if you just use them.
But...God didn't make you breakfast so you conclude no one ever did you any favours?
Has it ever occured to you that, God existing outside of what we perceive as space and time, there might be more important things to worry about? That maybe the suffering we see is our problem to deal with?
I think this is a shallow undsrstanding.
We all die; no one can put it off forever, all you do is delay the inevitably.
So what's left? Only the manner in which you face death.
I don't believe in life after death. I believe that heaven is going to your death without fear, knowing you lived your life properly, and hell is running from death, knowing you wasted the life you had and are full of guilt.
We, as God's children having eaten the fruit, have knowledge of good and evil.
These things are evil, but if we were just animals we wouldn't worry about it. It's hardly worse than a moose being torn apart by wolves or a baby whale having it's face eaten by orcas.
Suffering is in the nature of the universe, that's pretty much the one thing all religions agree on.
What makes these things truly evil is that the people perpetrating them know they are bringing suffering and do it anyway. They do it for their own gain, not even caring that it will rebound on them as the Russian army decimates their army and cities.
To be fair, we're only at the end of the first one.
A bunch of my friends and their families got...something...a month ago.
About half of us tested positive for covid with these tests, the other half negative.
This includes people in the same family with different results. Symptoms are the same across the board but severity varies.
Who knows?
Alledgedly, he was given the option to joint the board if he limited his stock in the company to 14.9%.
Since he currently only owns 9%, and could join the board at no penalty, this suggests that he's planning to go over that limit.
And if he's going over 14.9%, why would he be going for anything less than 51%?
If the board/shareholders can't effect the kind of changes he wants (unbanning people, removing censorship) then who does? That's the person getting replaced.
Lol
I just read an article saying Ottawa is having to go through waste water and test people's shit because there are so few positive tests.
They have ten people in the hospital with covid and reported one 80 year old woman died.
But please, tell us about the big bad 6th wave.
For the love of God, please yes.
I sympathise (to a degree) with homeowners losing equity, but we all know the vast majority of equity in homes belongs to investment outfits.
A housing crash now will allow people who have been saving for significant down-payments (ie the people who should be buying homes) to get into the market before inflation destroys their savings while punishing those who are over leveraged (read: speculators).
Every single person should be planting victory gardens and composters this year.
The Canadian government is already destroying potato crops in the maritimes so potatoes are probably a good idea.
If you don't have land, dig up your local parks.
In countries like Canada, LGBT indoctrination is the norm in some schools and has been for several years
I can attest to this. In my kids' old school (before I pulled them out) there were rainbow flags in every classroom, all the way down to grade 1.
The politics are insidious and ubiquitous. Now when I walk past the windows are full of Ukrainian flags. And, of course, all the covid propaganda.
The net effect is that our next generations will be completely unable to compete with kids from countries with real schools and real educations. But at least they'll be entitled...
Ok Trudeau...
What would stop me, or any random asshole, from just trading bitcoin to Russians from their personal wallet? Isn't that the whole point of crypto?
This mini-wave is not a surprise for Dr. Doug Manuel, a physician and senior scientist at The Ottawa Hospital, who like other health officials predicted the increased transmission as restrictions were lifted and the Omicron BA.2 subvariant picked up speed.
It's not a surprise for anyone; it's flu season.
Every single spike in Ontario has happened at the end of December and the end of March, because that's when we always get sick.
"Health Officials" aren't surprised because they specifically timed the lifting of restrictions to happen right before a predicted spike. That way everyone immediately panics and demands more restrictions.
For the same reason they never lift restrictions in the summer, when there are no cases: people would stop caring about their shit if there weren't a panic soon enough. They lift things in the fall, just as school starts and the weather gets cold or the spring, when the temperature fluctuates.
It's all fear.
Ontario dropped our mask mandates on Monday.
Today, at the grocery store, over half the people were still wearing masks.
I hope they all get the full 10 jabs and good riddance.
Doesn't seem to be working.
Other than that first week, I'm seeing way more people flying Canadian flags (no one does this normally, it's a symbol of supporting the truckers) than the Ukarainian flag.
And it's everywhere. They think they cleared out Ottawa, all they did was encourage people to protest in their own cities. The convoy is actually in Toronto this weekend.
