I think you're confused about which side moved.

The story-submitter, who I suspect is also the paper's author, doesn't appear to be laughing. See the posts below in this thread.

Biased much? You appear to be closely connected to the paper's author, or perhaps you are in fact the author. After all, your username matches the name of the institute that has the author as a co-founder.

Came here to say that. No need for Google to shame Apple publicly -- Apple did it themselves if they're still using that RCS.

Hey Apple, time to switch to Visual Source Safe. [*ducks*]

Dude, if what Christians believe about you is real, then you're the best lawyer in history.

Hm... I wouldn't put it past Disney to try the Lovejoy Gambit. And it might work, not because it's a tenable argument, but because they're f$$$ing Disney.

I'm inclined to agree with Freedom Bug, who said this in a comment below:

Unfortunately TFS cuts off the text that follows in TFA:

[emphasis mine.] Let's spell it out:

- CESA does not define what a "fish" is, so the definition of this term falls to the California Fish and Game Code (CFGC)
- CFGC defines "fish" as "mollusk, crustacean, invertebrate (or) amphibian" with no specific requirement that the organism live in water
- bees are terrestrial invertebrates
- therefore bees may not be fish in the customary sense, but definitionally they fall into the bailiwick of the CFGC and CESA

Not sure, but I think the OP was referring to the Canadian Indian residential school system. A very sad part of Canada's history that only began to be addressed and reconciled in the late 20th century.

As terrible as the schools were, they were a result of colonialism, not socialism.

Since you asked, and I haven't seen a clear reply yet: Tim Horton's is a Canadian fast-food restaurant chain that started out serving hamburgers but soon switched to donuts and coffee. They eventually expanded to muffins and a lunch menu that included sandwiches, soup, and other items. However, they are still known primarily for their donuts and coffee. They're named after a defenseman who played for the Toronto Maple Leafs. They also have locations outside Canada.

Why should we care? Well, per TFS, apparently their app is tracking users' geolocations too aggressively, and without proper consent. That's news for nerds, stuff that matters. Given Tim Horton's business model (a significant number of their sales are to people travelling somewhere by car) tracking users' migration patterns makes sense. But it seems they overdid it.

Okay...

First of all, those were not the words of the Washington Post, but an opinion piece by Marc A. Thiessen that was published by WaPo.

Second, have you read the bill? I just did. Perhaps you should too. Here you go, you're welcome.

TL/DR: Generally the bill seeks to protect access to abortion by preventing states from doing "cute" things that burden the providers so much that they cannot function. And as for terminating a pregnancy "up to the moment of birth", the bill is very clear on this: before viability, access to abortion cannot be blocked, but after viability (as determined by qualified practitioners) access to abortion cannot be blocked if the health or life of the mother is at risk (again, as determined by qualified practitioners.)

Well, the fact that you would cite The Babylon Bee (a conservative christian answer to The Onion) as a legitimate source of journalism tells me that you are the idiot.

Or Poe's Law. Whatever.

A "long string" of such managers. Wow, you are one unlucky guy.

People make plans, buy plane tickets, book time at attractions and venues in high demand and with full schedules. And granting leave in alternating minutes?? That sounds like grounds for a lawsuit that the employee would win.

I worked at a company that had an accrued-vacation policy. They got acquired by a company that had an UPTO policy.

The new owners announced that existing employees would need to debit their accrued vacation down to zero before they could participate in the UPTO program.

Do you see what they did? Understandably (from their perspective) the acquiring company wanted to retire the debt on the books represented by all of this accrued vacation. However, they insisted that existing employees effectively pay for their vacation out of their accrual before going onto UPTO. Others with no accrual could effectively take just as much vacation, without debiting an accrual.

This may not seem like a big deal, but consider that accrued vacation belongs to the employee. It must be paid out to the employee on separation. There is no such accrual or payout for those on UPTO. So, there is actually an incentive to quit your job, take the payout of your accrued vacation, and find another job somewhere else, even one with UPTO.

The new owners 'pretended' not to understand what the big deal was. Many of us ended up leaving the company within 18 months of the acquisition. And took a cash-out of our accruals, if they still existed.

A better analogy might be this:
- suppose the KKK had a standing army
- but in 2016 the political and military wings of the KKK split
- the military wing joined the National Guard
- since then the military wing has repudiated and distanced itself from the KKK's ideology
- but concerns remain about the political attitudes of legacy members
