@lemmy.caPreface: I work with a hard core "they're going to make us eat crickets" kinda guy.
He was going on about how "how bad traffic is in the GTA and how they are trying to take away our cars so that no one drives any more." So I point out that if they added a bunch more Go Trains in the GTA you wouldn't need your car to commute AND there would be less traffic on the highway for the people who do drive.
But where are you going to park all those extra trains.
Bruh. There are how many million fucking cars that drive to the GTA and park every god damned day but you want to know where they are going to park 30 trains?
The Crown corporation says its anti-discrimination charter cannot 'supersede' job to deliver mail
Flyers ARE NOT MAIL.
It kinda is, most of the people where I work (manufacturing) make significantly less than that. However, it's even more outrageous that a career leech can produce absolutely nothing for his entire life and get a $200K pension.
Uhhh, are they going to be paying the cammed employees more than uncammed?
Are there policies in place that ensure that footage will ONLY be used for safety and that the company will not use the cameras to police employees?
We've seen a growth in violence against police and peace officers in public spaces over the last number of years, and that's carried straight on through to private spaces...
Yes there is increasing violence against the 2 major sources of pain for the most desperate members of society, thanks for noticing.
Imagine opening your email or direct messages to find explicit messages about how someone is going to kill or rape you. Or, maybe it's a message threatening some form of blackmail - like releasing deepfaked nude photos - if you don't comply with the abuser's demands. Then imagine the police telling you there's not much they can do to help you, and even if they do, living with the fear and constant anxiety of knowing there's nothing much to stop the perpetrator from immediately beginning that pattern of harassment again. Then imagine this harassment escalating into physical violence or self-harm.
Now, imagine this happening to a minor.
Imagine a slope so slippery that god himself could not climb it.
I do agree that harassment online is an issue and has been since long before the first "I fucked your mom" was screeched into an xBox, but there needs to be extremely well defined situations where law enforcement are given access to information about ISP subscribers or users of a particular website.
Any kind of bulk-deanonymizing measures should be avoided at all costs as it undermines one of the most useful feature of the internet. If some one wants to find information on a sensitive topic, for example an embarrassing health issue or seeking help for abuse, not having a way to anonymously do so negates any help they obtain.
Ever since the "dark web" and "VPN" made it into the mainstream media it's been a ticking clock to the day when each government decides that anonymous communication is intolerable. "Think of the children" is the war cry of malicious politicians and useful idiots alike.
But it’s not just wagons that aren’t allowed on the bus, I now realize. Anything that can seat more than one child is not allowed
Fire the prick who came up with that idea. A bus system that can only move people who are mobile is useless.
Management is a parasite class. Produce nothing, extract value from people, claim that value would not exist without them.
