Jesus Christ one of my subordinates in the department has fucking lost the privilege of not CCing me and the department director on their shit, because I no longer believe they've done a thing even when they say they have. Too much shit getting lost. People who can't organize their work drive me crazy to work with.

Pretty much the only thing I dislike about biking to work every day, etc., are days like this: a storm just rolled the fuck in and decided to piss all over the city. I had to cancel two after work appointments because I can't reliably ride around the city in this deluge; I need to be able to go straight home.

@Coin Can't you leave it at the office and pick it up the next day? It's what I do if it starts raining after I get here.

Few issues:
- It's Friday;
- It's a brand new, still uninsured bike;
- It's tied up outside (yeah, the elements are not being kind today) and though there is a security guard in the vicinity, I don't think they stick around during the weekend.
So no, essentially, I can't.
It's fine. I'm usually okay with biking home in the rain since I am, essentially, just going home. If rain catches me mid-bike to the office, that's the worst. And, well, when I have to cancel all the things.

If you take advantage of a government service, you should not be surprised if there are rules related thereto.
I see nothing wrong with the public education system requiring vaccinations, even from a libertarian perspective.

Libertarianism tends to get conflated with a lot of other things, like anarcho-capitalism, which are more extreme versions of it. Libertarians are -minimal- government, not no government. Most of us still understand that there has to be rules to things, yeah, though this one could fall on either side, as government mandated actions, especially medical procedures, tend to fall pretty squarely in the 'no' category. It's not the vaccination itself, it's the doors to other things it opens the way to.
Racism isn't Tinkerbell. It doesn't need you to believe in it for it to exist.

People like to think this way, and they are foolish.
If you're going to use a government service, then being required to follow its rules is appropriate. If you don't want to vaccinate your shit-lings, send them to a private school that doesn't require vaccinations or home-school them.
Better yet, send them to another country or planet, because I don't particularly care for your disease-ridden meatbags to get anywhere near my children.
People opposed to vaccinations will have a special place in Hell waiting for them, right after they pass away from some easily-curable disease.

I don't see anything wrong with it either, since it's tied to the service and not imposed across the board, which is what the "well duh" part of my brain advocates.
I do not understand not vaccinating your kids without their doctor telling you to. It makes literally (and I mean that literally) no sense.

In the same way, I do not understand why my clients dispute what I have to say about whether something is legal or illegal. I mean, do what you want, but you pay me an awful lot of money to ignore me.

Because television has trained us to believe that the duty of an attorney is to take the 'il' out of 'illegal' and work magic to help you justify your actions for all of eternity.

They say the pun is the lowest form of humour.
"They" are incorrect.
The prank is the lowest form of humour. And the April Fool's Day joke is the lowest form of prank. Even lower than this, however, is the fucktard who keeps an April Fool's Day prank running all day. And below even that, to the point that it's actually got bootprints of the former on its face, is the total shit-for-brains that keeps the joke running longer than the actual day. (I'm looking at you here, Walker@MUS*H, you fucking retarded shit.)
Don't do April Fool's Day jokes. The only fool involved in these is the fool who thinks they're funny. In all of fucking history you can count the number of April Fool's Day jokes that were funny on one hand. You could do it on that hand even after the bizarre gardening accident that sheared off all your fingers.
(And yes, Walker, I will be hunting you down to shear off all your fingers just so you can't type such an ill-conceived, ill-bred, ill-executed fucking shitty excuse for a prank ever again.)

I said EXACTLY this at dinner earlier. I hate April Fool's Day. I hate pranks. Suddenly everyone is a HILARIOUS IMP. So many clever girls, and I'm just waiting for the asteroid.

I think what Library and Archives Canada did today was both funny and classy. And if you don't know what I mean, then you're missing out.

If it was an April Fool's Day joke, it was by definition neither funny nor classy.

How narrow-minded. Did you even see it?
It was funny and classy. I can't imagine anyone being harmed by it, except for Fox.
