People have uploaded all the episodes to YouTube now.
It’s just not the same though. The true experience is watching it on a TV/VCR on a cart that the teacher wheeled in.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Foreign landlord fails to pay taxes, CRA goes after tenantEnglish
45·2 years agoJustice served. This was probably one of those deadbeat renters that wasn’t even tipping their landlord.

politics @lemmy.world•Stubbornly high US inflation grew stronger than expected in March , vaulting to a 3.5% increase from last year
11·2 years ago“High corporate profits are a main driver of ongoing inflation, and companies continue to keep prices high even as their inflationary costs drop.”
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/jan/19/us-inflation-caused-by-corporate-profits
It’s a misnomer to call this “inflation” — it’s corporate collusion-driven price gouging.
Have only played two players so far. Even then, there was a lot of downtime, especially when you get to the third and fourth rounds.

Ontario@lemmy.ca•Tell me your government is clueless about students and schools without actually telling me
22·2 years agoA bunch of school boards in Ontario have launched lawsuits against TikTok, Snapchat, and Meta, alleging the way the social media platforms are designed is harming children and disrupting schools.
Ford disagrees with the lawsuits, but also believes that his ban on cellphones in schools in 2019 was effective. This demonstrates yet again that he and his government are clueless when it comes to education in this province.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Toronto Star owner cutting 600 jobs at regional papers, seeking bankruptcy protection for unit
4·2 years agoI’m surprised there are still 600 employees to cut.
The Ford government is obsessed with turning TVO into a profit-focused, online education platform, so they can replace real, in-person learning with online learning in Ontario classrooms — to continue cuts to education spending — but then to also sell the education modules they are creating in the US market and abroad.
That’s why the business objectives outlined in a letter from earlier this year from Education Minister Stephen Lecce (TVO is under the Ministry of Education), makes zero mention of journalism.
The Ford government intends to kill TVO’s journalism so it can double down on online learning in Ontario classrooms and other profit-making schemes.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Want to ease Canada’s housing crisis? Let’s start by being responsible about international student visas
3·2 years agoThis episode of Wag the Doug provides decent background about how the Ford government’s legislative changes and underfunding of public colleges led them to partner with private institutes to juice the number of foreign students for more cash.

Governments need to get back to investing in our publicly funded universities and colleges. Colleges and universities are broke from government underfunding and are turning to foreign students to fill the gap.
-
Provinces (especially the Ford government in Ontario) changed the laws, letting private colleges (and private satellite colleges tied to public colleges) run amok, scamming foreign students and benefiting the companies that want to turn our education system into a cash cow.
We should have a robust public education system that is attracting foreign students and providing them with the same quality of education available to domestic students. The players that look at our education system and see $$$ signs need to go.

Technology@lemmy.world•Airbnb is adding cleaning fees to a new 'total price' of bookings in search results after people complained listings were misleadingEnglish
6·2 years agoI have never encountered hotel rooms that are cheaper than the comparable local Airbnb offerings (at least in Canada and US). Where are these cheaper hotel rooms?
And why isn’t driving like Cars and Trucks and Things That Go? Where’s Goldbug to make all my trips a fun search?

















Just came here to make this same joke.
