"No matter the reason, it is unacceptable and a criminal act,” Metro spokesperson Geneviève Grégoire told CBC News in a statement. ”Retail crime resulted in losses of $9.2 billion in Canada in 2024. Many factors influence food inflation, including disruptions in the global supply chain, volatility in commodity prices, changes in international trade conditions, and retail crime.”

Subtract it from cashiers and guards’ salary. At least how it’s done where I live.

Good. Seriously, I hope such actions will be met with complaints and lawsuits everywhere.
Sexual life is a very sensitive and intimate subject, and it’s bad enough that she even had policemen invade it by opening the box (though this in particular is obviously a necessary part of police operations), let alone make a laughing matter out of it.
In general, though, I hope we will be able to eventually get more open about such things, so that it would be seen as a regular set of household items, even if it’s hidden from plain sight.

Oh well, it started before ChatGPT even had a chance to make it worse.
Lol
Actually it’s sort of scientific consensus. Not that it matters much for casual conversation (do not fuck minors, what’s so hard about that), but the distinction is real.
obligatory nerdy note that all those -philias refer to attraction, and not action; pedophile might not abuse children but still be pedophile; child abuser is not necessarily pedophile

Don’t ask me why I know, I just like getting to the grit of things.

Most of your points can be readily disproved with a single search query, however, it’s not worth engaging with a person who can’t hold their temper for a second.
Therapy does magic.
In no way to be a snob, but could we tone it down? After all, we’re mostly on the same page on that the state of Israel is committing war crimes, we only differ in who we blame for it.
Back to the substance:
First, Israel as an independent state exists since 1948, so yes, the absolute majority of people living in modern day Israel were born there; they are not the same people who came to displace Palestinians all those decades ago.
Second, I did not talk about IDF soldiers. Those who voluntarily joined Israeli armed forces do take part in an act of evil, and deserve to be judged. I do not support the same notion in respect to Israeli civilians and those on mandatory service.
Third, in your robber hypothetical, where are the Israeli civilians? Do they have to renounce their citizenship and go live abroad not to receive “stolen goods”? Someone who is opposed to the war taking place are not “robbers” here.
How are you engaging in genocide if you do not take part in the war? And especially if you denounce the actions of your government? Is being born in Israel enough to be seen as a genocidal maniac?
I swear this “settler” discourse is gonna drive me crazy at some point.
Zionists are mostly Jews, but Jews are mostly not Zionists.
But yes, according to Talmud, Israel shouldn’t exist.
As long as they are not on active duty, they shouldn’t be targets. And if they are forced to serve, they should still only be killed if they are an active threat. Normally, they should first be offered to surrender.
Hope you’re acting ironic and do not actually call to genocide all Jews in Israel.
I agree that hetero relationships get quite a lot of visibility, but it gets little positivity, which some people are quite sensitive to, especially among teenagers. Also, it enforces LGBTQ+ and cishets as two opposing sides, which they are not.
Faced with (undoubtedly important) messages about how queer folks and their relationships are awesome and worthy of appraisal and attention, some of the hetero teens and even adults feel left out, like they’re not “cool” for just being the default.
Obviously, they are no less cool than anyone else, and their relationships are no less beautiful. And we need to talk about that too, in no way to silence the rest, but to underscore that truly any relation to gender and sexuality is equally valuable. The very pushback on LGBTQ+ is partly fueled by the resentment for this lack of hetero positivity, and we need to remove any ground for it.
LGBTQ+ and cishets are not on the opposite sides, they are all parts of the same spectrum, and so any confrontations between the two are as odd as bisexuals attacking homosexuals. To translate this idea, we should include cishets into the same positivity movement, while remembering the groups inside LGBTQ+ are still unjustly discriminated against.
On the other hand, the concerns themselves are real, and if they will be addressed in a way positive to everyone else, this will be great!
So, we’ll see. Under current administration, the risks for it derailing into the hate fest are quite high, but fingers crossed.
Honestly, if done without any hate to LGBTQ+, I’m all for it. We need a nice hetero representation, and hetero relationships are beautiful. This does include trans people forming hetero couples, and hetero-demi-/asexuals, and many more, so it can even intersect with LGBTQ+ in some cases.
All relationships and sexualities are beautiful, and hetero ones are no exception.
But I doubt it’ll be done this way.
They may also feel it’s not talked enough in general, and put it here on Lemmy, where every second post is about that.
