Luckily, each one of his alleged shots missed and no one was killed or seriously injured as a result of the tirade.
They buried the lede that he’s a stormtrooper.
Maybe you’ll inspire those bad apples to be great.
I think saying things like that is also meant to be inspiring. Like when you tell all the kids on a hockey team that they’re great and they’re gonna kick ass out on the ice, but you know who they’re about to play and they don’t stand a chance. But who knows, maybe telling them they’re great will get one or two of them to dream about being a future hockey hero, and they’ll get out on the ice and really kick some ass for once - make that extra pass, hit the net for a shot, or hold off on that big, useless, cross-check to the head that would put them in the sin bin for 5 minutes.
If the kids can dream, so can you, right?
It may not be, but where did you get that number? The article (currently) says the data of 560 million ticket-purchasing customers was stolen. I don’t see anything about “venue rentals business” customers, nor about 1 billion customers of any kind.

Honestly, that’s where my comment started… But everything I found showed that studies had proven that it was safe. So I changed tack and started focusing on the Greenpeace side.
According to the Greenpeace website:
But behind the hype, GE ‘Golden’ rice is environmentally irresponsible, poses risks to human health and could compromise food, nutrition and financial security.
My take from this: It may be that they targeted more than the safety, but also the possibility of gene flow (to other rice crops including wild rice), possible effects on biodiversity, and the ever-present patent issues that come up with GMO’s.
Scanning down the page though, they don’t specifically say why it poses risks to human health other than some hand-wavey stuff about how it would make people rely on rice instead of providing other sources of vitamin A in their diets.
They also brought up that at least one experiment with the rice on children in China wasn’t done ethically, and also that this could be imposed against people’s religious beliefs.
It mentions the cross-contamination gene flow stuff, but I thought because rice was self pollinating that that wasnt as big an issue with GM rice. (I’m not an expert by any means.)
Their general argument seems to be “new way bad, old way good” without any scientic evidence. They didn’t have to convince scientists though.
Honda is full-on for hydrogen as well.
They breed multiple times a year and are protected. They take over city parks and make them big piles of goose shit. They get angry and aggressive at people who walk by, making them even more of a nuisance in said parks.
But yeah, I appreciate them as a living being.
God damn Canada Geese.
Also, I’ve seen tourists fascinated by seagulls in Vancouver which surprised me because I thought they were everywhere.
I was one of the fascinated tourists taking a million pictures of bin chickens. But, I was at least aware of it… because I remember at the time joking with my wife that the locals were laughing at us basically taking pictures of pigeons/seagulls.

Maybe there happen to be a bunch of pro-israel liberals on Reddit, but I don’t think that means “liberal”=“pro-israel”.
I guess coming from Canada it’s a different perspective since we have the separate Liberal and Conservative parties skewing the definition, and the Liberals, while certainly being pro-capitalism, also support social justice, and are not exactly pro-israel right now.
Yeah, fair. I think that’s why I found associating liberalism with being pro-israel weird.
Wait, you’re saying “liberal”=“pro-israel”? Isn’t that more of a republican/conservative thing?
Don’t squirt me bro!
