Carney says, unequivocally, Canada seeking to become the EU’s 1st associate member (r/worldnews)
- ContrastingCanvas: I for one, would love the European consumer protections afforded to their members.
- sportow: Everyone asking âwhat does this meanâ needs to relax.
Itâs new and they are negotiating. Likely collective defence, ERASMUS+, Horizon, more trade, investment, critical minerals to name a few. Itâs whatever is advantageous to both Canada and the EU.
But, it could be the framework for the middle powers alliance that we all want when other countries want to join. - wiseguy77192: Let EU citizens vote on it. Itâs clear yes from me
G20 Photo Scrapped After Leaders Object to Russiaâs Presence (r/worldnews)
- Sharktopotopus_Prime: As any sane people should.
- FullMoonsOfSeptember: why don’t they walk out on the whole thing?
- NotMyName_3: The Orange Idiot slowly rehabilitating his boss’s image to an international audience. Lavrov was a test to see how far he could push it.
What is the best possible response to “Do you know why I pulled you over”? (r/AskReddit)
- texacer: no
- Excavatoree: But you don’t know. Yes, you might have committed a ticket-able offense, but really, you don’t know if the officer saw you or not. you don’t know if you or your car fits a description, or maybe your tail light is out. (that happened to me. Body shop screwed up my wiring) So, you aren’t even lying when you say “no.”
- Purplociraptor: I had a cop in an unmarked SUV tailgate me in a notoriously bad neighborhood. I didn’t know what was going on. I thought I was about to get carjacked. I sped up to get a little distance and he pulled me over. He then had the fucking BALLS to say, “You were speeding. Are you late to work or something?"
At this point I decided to not say a fucking word and just comply. Not a single word. That dashcam footage came in real handy when I took his ass to court.
TLDR: Even saying “NO” is more than you need to say. You have the right to remain silent.
What’s a ‘rich people’ thing you tried once and immediately understood why they do it? (r/AskReddit)
- Responsible-Tie-4373: Ordering groceries that arrive pre chopped, pre washed, and neatly portioned. I laughed at the price tag once, tried it during a burnout week, and instantly understood. Itâs not buying food itâs buying back two hours of your Sunday so you don’t spend it crying over a cutting board.
- skinny-mini-me: I drive a Lexus. Oh, wait, its 20 years old. Regardless I feel like a princess behind the wheel.
- monty_kurns: Flying first class on longer flights. I spent my first 35 years flying economy. Once I had a taste of first class and all the perks that go with it (more comfortable seats, more leg room, free booze, sometimes a meal), itâs really hard to go back!
Teachers of Reddit, has Gen Alpha really speedrun past reading, writing, and arithmetic straight into brainrot, or are we exaggerating? What’s actually happening in classrooms? (r/AskReddit)
- JackWhitesGhost: As a teacher of 12 years I feel like I can say the literacy crisis is real. If you are a parent of young children the number one thing you can do to help your kids is to read to them. Read them picture books until they’re old enough to hear chapter books. Do not quit reading to them until they prefer to read on their own. My middle school students who are the most put together are the ones who will read for pleasure. If you can instill that passion for reading in your kids they will be okay.
- LeChatVert: It’s not gen alpha, it’s the decades of government’s decisions of slashing school’s budget. We reap what they sowed: ignorance.
- AllTheNopeYouNeed: High school teacher for 20 years.
Short answer: yes.
Long answer: parents aren’t parenting and instead of running in the woods and getting lost or playing a pick up game on a street and learning basic survival skills - kids are scrolling.
Brain rot and lack of parenting has made these kids genuinely stupid. I don’t like the use the word in general but it applies here.
Kids are getting downright stupid.
