This doesn't make any sense at all. Every one has different reasons for wanting most products. It's this nuance that is at the foundation of the entire field of marketing, and finding appeal for any product in the marketplace. The

The article is pushing a narrative. Every once and awhile these flair up, since there's a lot of scared people in the traditional meat/dairy industries right now, since they're losing counter/shelf space in supermarkets

Yeah, this is the issue that most people seem to miss. It's not the flavour that is the issue, which is why products that attempt to replicate it are successful with vegans/vegetarians. What we find abhorrent is that a living, sen

You keep throwing "plausible deniability" around, thinking that is what is happening here. You're assuming that the decision is someone selecting a candidate solely based on their race, when it is far far more nuanced than th

It's easy to like it when it provides you the outcome that you're favourable towards. For people, the majority in this case (as evidence by the popular vote count), who do not agree with these outcomes, federalism is a fucking mes

As others have said, I'm not sure the environment impact is different between 1-2 days vs. a week. In terms of fuel costs etc. Maybe travelling by ship instead of air, or on long haul might affect this though. I'm more concerned a

I can't believe this asshole is spending billions so that Trump can get his Twitter account back.

They did just win a pullitzer for their international reporting last year. I'd say that goes quite a way towards improving their reputation.

As others mentioned, my experience is the opposite. I'm on Mac, and I forced myself to ditch Chrome due to privacy concerns and, honestly, I don't miss it at all. Occasionally, I have to fire it up to test something for work, or i

Again, a quick google search shows thousands of articles that specifically tie antifa to the riots in Portland. The media did not ignore it at all. If anything, I'd believe that tie-in with "antifa" is greatly exagerrated by

You do know that they're in vehicles that they're moving in and out of the city, correct? It's not like they're all just parked in one spot and staying there the entire time. Unlike people with fixed addresses, they can

If they actually have anything to do with the mandates, then protesting in Ottawa doesn't make any sense. All of the health and COVID mandate policy is set at the provincial level in Canada, not federally. They should be protesting in

The original comment was mentioning the downvotes, not comments. I agree on engaging comments (hence this conversation) but there's definitely brigading happening with votes if you post anything that the libertarians disagree with.

My mistake. In my first comment, I should have referred to the truck convoy protesters as perceiving themselves as having minority status. I made this comment before people starting to compare these protests to BLM, which is for a an actual

Getting fired for not getting vaccines was a line that I didn't agree with. However, the vast majority of organizations that did this were private though, and it was the organization that implemented these policies. I'd hardly equ

I don't live in Quebec or have any knowledge of what is happening in that province, but this either sounds like there are mitigating situations that we're not aware of for this reaction, or an overreach by some board/school.

Hahaha.. this is a hilarious comment. These people are not the minority. They're self-professed victimes of so-called tyranny that doesn't exist. The sheer fact that they're able to protest for this long, in this way, at the

Not much media coverage? I saw coverage of it all the time. It was covered as if it was the end of civilization and it continues to push the narrative today that BLM protests were burning cities to the ground across the country. I'm no

Yeah, I have 5 nieces and nephews and friends with kids that live and around Hamilton. Tell me what they're going through that's insane. Don't just drop comments like this without backing up your assertions, because it's

Unless there's some crazy school board out there, there's no way they have kids eating outside when it's -20. Most school boards won't even have outdoor recess on days like that. I have 11 nieces and nephews in 5 differe

They're honking for 16-18 hours per day. For people that live near the convoy, they've been able to sleep for over two weeks due to this. I have friends and family affected by this. I'm fairly sure this constitutes torture if

I've said this before. There's a strong libertarian bent to HN and I'm not surprised if there's a large contingent of this site that actively supports the convoy. There's people here that are strong supports of Pete

I've always pronounced it G-unicorn. As-in, say G first, then unicorn. Like Geeunicorn. That's how I've heard others pronounce it too.

Agreed. It's also likely that the unvaxxed could be accounting for a greater part of the overall spread too. They tend to be sicker for longer, and given their anti-vax proclivities, will likely not wear masks and continue about their

She used to be a consultant for a zero-waste company. I imagine she's very aware of these complexities. It doesn't make it any less embarrassing for these organizations though. We should be expecting them to do better than this.
