Sweet, that's good to know. WWF needs to update their website. Too many chairs to the face I think.

Probably humans, given they went from 100k to 5.6k in population in 100 years and are still in decline.

No, it's not a war crime that I can find, however we can attribute harm caused to civilians through these actions, such as starvation due to supply lines cut off. So he did some vile shit, had a moment where he realized the error in his ways, then did everything in his power to make things better.

Ontario isn't good at voting. Our voter turnout is abysmal. Add to that there is a contingent of people who think they are folksy when in reality they are ignorant, and voila: Shitty politicians flourish. Add to that our center party (Liberals) did whatever they wanted for years and our Left wing party (NDP) had... I don't even know how to properly describe her style other than "not helpful for a political career", and Ford gets to do whatever he wants.

Step 1: Be rich enough to afford all the exercise / healthy living.

Step 2: have a job that has a positive loop to said attractive looks

Fair, let me update it, you are correct. Early morning brain didn't verb correctly.

In what way? I am Canadian, so this question is very odd.

Yes, he's a nepotism baby, his father was PM in the 70s.

But he's the leader of a center left party. He has been in power a long time, but in a minority government. He dropped his promise to change election laws and lead the government to legalize weed. He should have been a lot better on the environment but also wasn't (blatantly) hostile to environmental causes.

He was caught doing black face in the past and his government was ~~too nice~~ in bed with SNC Lavalin and should not have helped them by interfering with the justice system . But again, he didn't deny it.

Heck, we had truckers convoy across the country with swastikas and occupy our capital to try and oust him. So our version of Jan 6th was anti Trudeau, versus being lead (or spurned on) by Trump.

So its not a 1 to 1 to Trump. He's closer to Clinton in that he's a slimy politician who does some good things but clings too hard to the status quo and has some skeletons in the closet.

Normally I'd agree, however they mentioned alcohol fires can be invisible, so I think it's a design flaw in this case. That said, I may be wrong, as my wife is in charge of Fire in our marriage.

I appreciate you posting that. My late ex fil did the same thing. Had a total conspiracy minded friend. Was always awkward I had to be the one to say "No, Trudeau didn't do that."

At least he was nice and respectful about it. My cousins on the other hand... well, I get very high at family gatherings now.

Totally fair points. Probably next to impossible. Wish I could find those articles, but oh well. I just don't see this being good for future hiring at Meta at the end of the day.

100% agree on your first point.

I would caution your second point. A few years ago, news articles pointed out Meta had to pay people more compared to other similar companies due to people not wanting to work there. Sadly Google search isn't showing me those older articles.

A few websites are saying Meta's ~~average~~ median pay is 379k (Zuckerberg takes a $1 so he isn't driving that number) vs Google at $315k vs Microsoft $193k vs Nvidia 267k. That's a lot of difference. So running a company like a pedant has a real dollar difference, especially for workers who can demand it. Meta lost a lot of money on the Metaverse and they are spending to catch up AI, meaning they already have to be competitive for employees compared to other companies. Add in the perks are a trap to get fired, and your costs just keep going up. Perks are typically offered in lieu of higher costs and in this case incentive people to work longer in an office. Now they leave for food or go home and you have lost those benefits.
