Trump, 79, explodes in F-word meltdown as his ceasefire unravels
  • There was a time when I would've agreed with you. I still endeavour to this day to avoid profanity.

    Today, however, I don't agree that using "fuck" is at all an indicator of a low vocabulary (except in the case of overuse, but that's true of any word). There are emotions that civil people aren't supposed to feel, so we need words that we aren't supposed to use to express them.

    Fuck can be used to great effect, and should be.

    🚨LAST CHANCE! Soon the House of Commons will do a last vote on #BillS210, a dangerous proposal that locks up the Internet and sacrifices our privacy. Email your MP to say NO to extreme S-210 - via @OpenMediaOrg openmedia.org/NoInternetLock

    Tell your MP: Don't padlock the Internet!

    The House of Commons is days from passing Bill S-210, a dangerously broad age verification bill that would put an age lock on most of Canada's Internet and threaten every Canadian’s privacy.

    Anyone running Pathfinder Society (or other tabletop RPGs?)

    Hey Ottawa! Bit of a long shot, but does anyone here know of a Pathfinder Society playgroup in town? I'd love to find one to join. Thanks!

    Mk3s+ fails part way through detailed prints

    Hey !prusa, maybe you can help me. I have a self-assembled Mk3s+ that I put together about a year ago, but never really used because of the following problem.

    If I print on draft quality, it makes it through most prints. I've printed a dozen cubes, several brackets, and some other odds and ends.

    If I try to print on higher detail settings, however, it behaves very strangely. Most often it'll just hang, and keep oozing out more plastic. Once in a while, the steppers will keep turning and ram the bed or print head against the ends of their tracks.

    I've tried updating and downgrading the firmware, different SD cards, etc. to no avail. Support hasn't been much help either.

    Any ideas?

    Education minister believes “parents must be fully involved” if their child chooses to use a different pronoun at school
    www.cp24.com 'Parents must be fully involved' in student's decision to change pronouns, Ontario education minister says

    Ontario’s education minister said he believes “parents must be fully involved” if their child chooses to use a different pronoun at school.

    'Parents must be fully involved' in student's decision to change pronouns, Ontario education minister says

    Ontario’s education minister said he believes “parents must be fully involved” if their child chooses to use a different pronoun at school.

    The comments were made at a news conference on Monday morning, where Stephen Lecce was outlining the changes students and parents can expect at Ontario schools come September.

    They also come as Saskatchewan adopts a new gender and pronoun policy, joining New Brunswick in legislating parental consent for students under the age of 16 who want to change their given names and/or pronouns at school.

    “I think we understand though that parents must be fully involved and fully aware of what's happening in the life of their children,” Lecce said.

    “I mean, often there are health implications, and I think we have to respect the rights of parents and recognize that these can be life-changing decisions, and I think parents want to be involved so that they can support their kids. And I think that's a really important principle that we must uphold.

    Lecce prefaced this by saying that schools should be safe for all children. He noted that teachers and school boards take home environments into account “where there are exceptional circumstances” or “situations of potential harm to the child.”

    “Educators are well versed on exactly what to do and who to turn to if they believe that child may be harmed for whatever reason, or whatever circumstance,” he said.

    “But as I say, as an overarching value system, I really do believe that parents need to be fully aware, fully engaged. And school boards need to be transparent with parents. I mean, they are the legal guardians. They love their kids. They want to be aware of what's happening in the life of their children in their schools.”

    The minister would not say if this were something his government would legislate, saying only that this was the “province’s position on the matter.”

    A new poll by Angus Reid released Monday, which surveyed 3,016 Canadian adults online, suggests that about 43 per cent of Canadians believe parents should both be informed and give consent if a child wants to change how they are identified within a school setting.

    In Ontario, 43 per cent of survey respondents said parents must both be informed and give consent of an identity change, while 34 per cent said parents should simply be informed.

    About 16 per cent of respondents said it should solely be up to the child.

    The Toronto District School Board currently has a policy that protects the privacy of transgender and gender non-conforming students, recognizing that some children may not be open about their identity at home.

    It notes that a school “should never disclose a student’s gender non-conformity or transgender status to the student’s parent(s)/guardian(s)/caregiver(s) without the student’s explicit prior consent.”

    “This is true regardless of the age of the student.”

    The policy says that school staff should consult the student as to how to identify them when communicating with their guardian.

    School boards in Saskatchewan have asked the province to pause its gender and pronoun policy in order to allow for a “complete review and report” prior to implementation, arguing it could have safety risks and could violate charter rights.

    As of last week, the Saskatchewan government has not backtracked on its position.
