Depends on jurisdiction.

So they claimed!

Bravo. I didn’t even go mental, I pointed out Africa has black people in it to disprove their claim that all black people are culturally American. They didn’t stammer, but they sure did get mad.

Yep. Not too long ago I tried to explain this to some other Lemmings, and I got severely downvoted. They did not like hearing that ethnicity doesn’t imply a mental/cultural monolith.

Stop linking xkcd without including the alt-text.

Re-read RickyRigatoni’s comment.

Yes, but the perp showed the images to a minor.

You consider it a heinous crime to draw a picture and keep it to yourself?

Sins like accusing a nation’s citizenry of being complicit with its war crimes, which is, itself, a war crime?

Are you willing to take ownership of every bad thing your government’s ever done?

Literacy, if I had to pick just one.

“Anyways”. Don’t fucking add the s to the end, it adds literally nothing but costs you more effort. Say or type “anyway”.

I have this. For some reason, I find a scented candle helps - I sleep with one lit.

Library.

There are significant downsides to a large population, some of which are a function of the buildings required to house them, like how you supply all those homes with electricity. There is absolutely such a thing as too many people and such a thing as too many buildings and/or buildings which are too large.

Your belief contradicts trivially-observable reality - you’re making falsifiable claims that have, in fact, been proven false, and 10 to 15 seconds of internet searching would suffice for anyone, including you, to see that.

Easy example: the parabolic arc of the dust thrown up by the lander tires would have cost more than every penny the USA had at the time to fake.

That isn’t true. Peddling is independent of the peddler’s motivation/intent.

rather than the person who is receiving the income.

Yes, this seems deeply fucked up.

From the article:

He also didn’t know that tenants renting from a non-resident are required to withhold and remit 25 per cent of their rent to CRA each month, unless they have a property manager doing it for them, or if the non-resident has made alternate arrangements to pay their taxes.

Why would Canadian law require that? I’ve never heard of a country forcing people to pay other people’s income taxes outside of countries that still have forced inheritance of debt, like South Korea. Makes absolutely no sense. As in this case, the requirement about non-residents is inane, because the renter has no way to assess resident status.

Uh… I’ll try.

Society can’t be trusted to handle things like adults should. If it could, very well-done drawings of minors depicting them as nude would be a non-issue as blackmail material both because society would just shrug off any such images being published as inconsequential and because minors would be raised to know that cooperating with blackmailers accomplishes nothing productive.

No.
