DerisionConsulting@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Court shown video of Calgary officer assaulting handcuffed Indigenous manEnglish2·6 days agoWhy crucify the lawyer?
In order for someone to be punished in a just society, they need to have a trial.
In order for that trial to also be just, both sides need to be able to put forth their side of what happened.
In order to make sure that there isn’t a mistrial, both sides need competent lawyers, and the case needs a competent judge.The alternative is that that police can just target people they don’t like, knowing that they likely can’t defence themselves, even if they are innocent.
DerisionConsulting@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is NotEnglish31·6 days agoFormatting thing: if you start a line in a new paragraph with four spaces, it assumes that you want to display the text as a code and won’t line break.
This means that the last part of your comment is a long line that people need to scroll to see. If you remove one of the spaces, or you remove the empty line between it and the previous paragraph, it’ll look like a normal comment
With an empty line of space:
1 space - and a little bit of writing just to see how the text will wrap. I don’t really have anything that I want to put here, but I need to put enough here to make it long enough to wrap around. This is likely enough.
2 spaces - and a little bit of writing just to see how the text will wrap. I don’t really have anything that I want to put here, but I need to put enough here to make it long enough to wrap around. This is likely enough.
3 spaces - and a little bit of writing just to see how the text will wrap. I don’t really have anything that I want to put here, but I need to put enough here to make it long enough to wrap around. This is likely enough.

Do you own the site?

DerisionConsulting@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Rogers, Telus, Bell Warn They’ll Cut Investment If Forced to ShareEnglish3·11 days agoThey were considering selling 49%, but the percentage is meaningless without looking at the articles, the bylaws, and resolutions. A lot of corporations make things more strict than the Bus Corp. act. You can always make things more strict, you can’t make them more lax.
In fact, some things require a “Special Resolution” which is 2/3rds.
BUT, that can mean 2/3 of the shareholders who show up, as long as enough people show up to make a quorum.
And a quorum can be as small as 1 person, again, depending on the Articles, bylaws, and resolutions.If you feel like learning about the Saskatchewan Business Corporations act, here is it:

Are you sure that it’s linoleum, and not VCT?
DerisionConsulting@lemmy.cato Vancouver@lemmy.ca•Welcome to šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm Street: Vancouver's newest street name is also its first using alphabet other than EnglishEnglish2·17 days agoVancouver has the right idea with “Su’it Street”, no one is going to call it “šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm Street”.
If they are considering also having signs that call it “Musqueamview St.”, that’s the only way that it will ever be referenced.
Question what is considered 6th grade.
This is a statement, telling the reader to consider, or be skeptical of, what the common understanding of what 6th grade is.
Question: what is considered 6th grade?
This asking the reader what most people think 6th grade is.
So, how did you read the comment? It isn’t a question; it’s a statement in both sense of the word.
DerisionConsulting@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Danielle Smith falsely claims Canada has ‘the lowest living standards in the world’English10·20 days agoSomeone replied to you using her legal name Marliana Smith. If you curious as to why, she brought forward a law designed to hurt transgendered children, to require parental consent for schools to call them anything but their first name. Since she doesn’t even go by her first name, some people now refuse to call her by her middle name, which she prefers.
She’s financed by oil companies, a hypocrite, a liar, and rallies her voters by creating imaginary enemies out of “the other”,. A very prototypical far-right politician.
DerisionConsulting@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Toronto man still allowed to employ staff despite owing more than $1M in wages, finesEnglish8·21 days agoIf you look at who is doing the work it’ll give you a clue.
Most of them were international students who’d recently graduated or other newcomers working their first job in Canada.
Getting a job when your first language isn’t English is hard. It’s also hard when all of your references might not speak English, are half a world away, and you don’t really have a “network” in Canada. You might be willing to put up with a lot of shit in order to have some work history in Canada.
DerisionConsulting@lemmy.cato Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•"And my dick fucks your wife more than you do. What's your point?"English5·24 days agoYou need to listen to him because it’s a meeting at work, he’s higher up than you are, and your job is at risk.

The link skips half of the speech, if you have 8 minutes, watch the whole thing.
DerisionConsulting@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Trump Declares End Of Pride Month Recognition — And Canada Is Watching CloselyEnglish41·24 days agoI do agree that people in the same sport will train the same muscles, but they normally start with a biological advantage in order to be good enough in the sport to start to train specifically for it to begin with. There are other things than height, such and foot/hand size, torso length, natural testosterone levels, how fast your body removed lactic acid, if you were born with a cardio-vascular issue, dozens of factors that affect your balance, and much more.
Someone with Ehlers-Danlos isn’t likely to become a powerlifter.

DerisionConsulting@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Trump Declares End Of Pride Month Recognition — And Canada Is Watching CloselyEnglish92·25 days ago- Trans men get the ability to compete with other men, I assume you mean trans women get to compete with other women.
- No one actually cares about women’s sports until “the trans issue” comes up. This argument is just an excuse to try to harm trans people. Most people can’t name a WNBA team, or name more than 5 female athletes.
- Biological differences is what professional sports are. That’s why people who have similar builds seem to play the same sports.
DerisionConsulting@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Decolonizing Your Shower, One Soap Bar at a TimeEnglish76·25 days agoThe article says that cedar is being used “for grounding and protection”, so at least some of it is bullshit.
DerisionConsulting@lemmy.cato Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Roommate refuses to use my body wash cause it's not "manly"English3·30 days agoI am also on team bar soap, but body wash isn’t always “soap”, it’s sometimes a detergent.
Which is another reason why I am on team bar soap.
“Masculinity” isn’t toxic on its own, “Toxic Masculinity” is a specific thing on its own.
It’s using the measuring stick of being “masculine enough” or “enough of a man” to harm someone else.
Yep.
Being complacent about how laws and ruling are currently being used, instead of being concerned about how they can be used, is why we’ve seen abortion bans and restrictions in the USA in recent years.
