Yea because around the time McCafe rolled out in Canada Tim Hortons switched to roasting their coffee inhouse while McDonalds had their supplier create a similar blend to the old tim hortons coffee.

So, dead?

In some contexts, yes. However you’ll still likely have to defend charges of manslaughter. You’d have to demonstrate that the actions you took could reasonable be expected to not result in the death of the subject; and that those actions were necessary to prevent receiving grievous bodily injury or death.

and would have the capacity to simply “calm down” once the threat has been stopped.

Lots of people defend themselves without turning their unconscious assailants into pin cushions. You seem to be fundamentally misunderstanding how reasonable force is determined. I suggest you read my other comments.

they don’t know if the threat is over,

If you can remove yourself from the situation the threat is over. It’s factually wrong to suggest that people can’t tell when they’ve won a fight.

or if someone else is going to bust in to kill them,

Continuing to inflict damage on an incapacitated assailant logically does nothing to prevent another potential unknown assailant from attacking you.

or if the original attacker will fight back, or if they have a weapon, etc.

Those factors will determine what level of force is reasonable. Unreasonable force generally comes into play after the assailant has been incapacitated.

Courts should be very lenient

You should be thankful you have right to defend yourself at all. Not all countries grant that to their citizens. The logical limitation of that right is that defending yourself does not permit you to “counter-assault” others.

Assault in Canada doesn’t require them to hit you first. It includes threats with the ability to follow through. So you may preemptively strike to end an altercation without being charged for assault. HOWEVER, the average male is 28,000% less effective in combat than they think they are. So it’s generally a poor option for untrained individuals… as shit gets out of hand. Pre-emptively striking to end the fight early only works if you can actully do that.

Casa Bonita in Denver is literally the only reason I will ever step foot in the USA again.

What would you do?

Well first off I live in a province where our Trespass Act permits me to physically remove trespassers. If that person assaults me during that removal, I will defend myself. But I used to do that for a job so I’m much more adept at navigating confrontation and responding to violence than the avg person.

Ultimately in a home invasion situation, I just want to avoid my house getting trashed. I do have “whacking sticks” staged throughout my house. I also have flashlights with strobe function (GOAT self defense tool fyi).

1. De-escalation. “Hey man. You Okay?” “This ain’t your house” “Can you please leave”

2. Assertive that I will not victimized. "There’s the door. Leave now or else tonight is going to end very badly for you.

3. Attempt to remove them while creating a tactical advantage such that I can preemptively strike as to end the altercation with minimal damage to all parties.

4. TKO them. People with concussions cannot provide reliable testimonies.

5. Call an ambulance/police. 50/50 They wake up and assault the police officers. Makes things suuuuper easy for you.

That’s literally how the law works. Reasonable force means you can hurt them (pretty badly) but once they stop being a threat you have stop hurting them.

Nobody gets a free pass.

I’ve been assaulted and defended myself multiple times. Our laws are specifically designed to account for the unique the context of every situation.

Forced into sudden fight or flight situation and you decide to fight can you determine reasonable use of force on the fly without hesitation.

1. If you were forced to defend yourself than you had no choice. So regardless of the damage you inflict, the first bar to reasonable self defense is to prove that you were deprived the ability to alternative choices.

2. Determining reasonable force is as simple as proving that you once the assailant stopped being a threat, you stopped inflicting damage on them.

I don’t know. But clearly Bruce could fix Gotham if he didn’t have a vigilante kink.

Jupiter. It’s probably the reason all the other planets didn’t get bombarded by shiz and tldr life on earth.

That’s horrifying.

I have no empirical evidence… but I’m fully convinced there’s at least 1 idiot with a synthol pp

why I don’t even bother watching anything

I can’t be arsed to watch something that will either be canceled after 1… or I’ll watch it but it will be delisted and now I need another service to watch what I already paid for.

They’ve eternally fucked up.

One thing that’s different about the 2020s vs the 2000s is the indifference between pirated and purchased content. Purchasing legally used to have perks. Digital purchases these days don’t even guarantee permanent access to the actual media.

Streaming interrupted the general public’s adoption of piracy and saved corporations asses. I don’t think they’re going to get another lucky break.

They’ve updated the course a lot since I did my first lesson when they released.

They’re memorable for me because I turn off the english pronunciation… so To + Kyo & Kyo + To were the first kanji that I actually learned to read without inferring contextually.

Only you can answer that.

I give $1/drink at bars and cafes(not starfucks).

I give 15% to severs unless it was exceptional.

I give 10% to specific takeout locations because I want to support their staff and I don’t usually dine-in.

I’ve been on/off the course since they first released it. It’s changed A LOT fyi.

Seems to me that’s a general pitfall of learning a language academically vs immersive. You inevitably are learning a textbook version that’s outdated colloquially.

I use duo to learn how to read the subtitles on the Japanese media I watch. For that goal duo has been amazing because you can turn off the English pronunciations.

All I care about is not being illiterate if I ever get to visit.

It’s like the nerd version of Synthol body ‘builders’.

Haha Tokyo & Kyoto are the first kanji you learn on duo.

Duolingo defs left that bit out

Really and truly the only harmless way to embarrass someone else to make them embarrassed to be seen with you.
