A supervisor should understand the concept of respecting people’s boundaries. You could always say something like “Hey I’m not really in the mood to talk right now” or “This isn’t something I want to talk about”. Just a fair warning if you do this, you might get labeled as the odd one the same way you mentioned if you go to HR (the HR one would be a bit worse if I’m being honest).

If it’s enforced it kind of loses it’s charm and appeal, no?

Sorry, guard-prisoner privilege.

It’s a capitalist invention and, therefore, will be used for whatever capitalists deem it profitable to be. Once the money for AI home assistants starts rolling in, then you’ll see it adopted for that purpose.

I know. Just people on these kinds of positions used to have the brains to just ignore this stuff and pretend it doesn’t happen.

Was this guy born yesterday? You don’t “ask” the internet for anything like this. Just adds more fuel to the fire.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Trudeau is watching what happens with the American election and will base his decisions on that. There haven been some parallels drawn already.

I truly hate what Conservatives have done to politics in this country.

Why is working towards a cleaner and better environment such a controversial issue? They’ve turned the political landscape into an outrage theatre on what pisses people off the most.

A 2 week training period?? Sounds more like Israel is using people stuck in a desperate situation to serve as cannon fodder.

The whole family has a history of drugs, so it’s not surprising to anyone in the GTA. His brother was the mayor of Toronto, and there was a big scandal surrounding it at one point. He ended up dying, and Doug has had a grudge against the Toronto city council. One of his first acts when he became premier was to slash the city council by like half.

His family is rich so they got to bail him out when he did stupid stuff like selling drugs.

Doug Ford has a history of wasting taxpayers’ money and helping his buddies line their pockets with extra cash. He’s currently under investigation since he got caught selling protected land to his buddies and then rezoning it for housing afterwards, allowing the value to spike up by billions. And that’s just criticizing his corruption. He’s not a good person either. He got caught selling crack to high schoolers.

Hope they get thrown into a dark hole. Assholes.

Maybe I’m too Canadian to understand but where on earth are you able to build a decent gaming PC able to play the latest AAA games on high graphics for $700?

No really, please tell me. I want to upgrade my PC.

Edit: For everyone trying to explain it to me.

1. There’s more to a PC than a CPU and GPU. Those of you giving me only those 2 that make up more than half of the $700 are kind of reinforcing my point.

2. The key thing here is running AAA games on high settings using this budget. You can’t really do that.

Ford accusing Singh of greed is pretty rich.

I honestly don’t know if they do or don’t have. I’d imagine it also varies by region. I just know schools have started giving out laptops to kids to take home if they are needed.

These aren’t necessarily the computers you and I grew up on where they had a dedicated computer lab room for use during class time. These are devices they take everywhere with them, even home. Now imagine some creepy school IT administrator decided to peek on the Webcams of kids while they’re on their room?

Canadian universities are expected to see international student enrolment dropping by at least 45 percent from last year, a more drastic decline than the 35 percent

They are expecting to see a 45% decline. Based on the wording, it looks to be projections rather than actual numbers?

Ford is accelerating the decline of our entire school system.

Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t see that as a valid justification for raising prices. True, letter deliveries are down. But it’s not like Canada Post is lacking business through parcel delivery. Why can’t they combine the 2? Or have one subsidize the other.
