Why can't I comment when logged in?

Edzell — Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:08:36 +0000

I'm logged in and have been posting to a number of threads, yet when I try to add my comment to the latest Murray Dobbin column I am asked to log in again. When I try to do so my name or email & password are repeatedly rejected; even with the frustrating information 'That email iis already in use." Of course it is; it's mine and I'm still logged in.

Any help on why this is happening?

facy or conspiracy

I guess my awakening to activism began back in 2012, the Alberta PC government was pushing to build powerlines and it would cost Albertans 16 billion to build. I started a group on facebook and began posting my criticisms of the government and it sort of grew from there. It was a small group with about 300 followers and I like to think I helped make a change of government here. My political awareness grew about the activities of the federal and provincial governments, also how in large part the realization corporations were behind it.

Project idea; solar chargers for cell phones (Africa)

I have a project idea I thought I would try running past people here, figuring you'all have considerable more experience with this.

Anytime I travel out of the country for extended periods of time I like to take on little projects to try and help locals where I travel and work. Shoes, school supplies, radios you can crank to power, medical supplies, stuff like that.

Feminist Entrepreneurs

I launched a new magazine in Dec (crazy idea?). Its called www.liisbeth.com

Its focused on making the entrepreneurship and innovation space more supportive of women/female identified entrepreneurs and business owners--and not just 20 year olds-but all ages.

Looking for experience magazine professional, (Ideally woman of colour) to join our advisory board!

Anyone out there?

meaningful and dynamic large scale public discussions will require a standardized format: initial discussion of details

had enough — Thu, 24 Mar 2016 13:07:48 +0000

I'd like to ask for opinions about details of large scale public discussions, as well as something I'm working on to greatly facilitate them.

The project is to develop a format for both recording and graphically displaying the relevant "facts" and opinions for any discussion.

When you're talking about millions of people, even billions, the likelihood a single format would suit everyone seems remote. But, as with most things, it depends on how you look at it. I say it can be done.

Rather than spew pages of text, I was hoping to point out several individual details for consideration, starting with the following 2.

Winter travel survival kit

I stopped to help someone the other day during a storm and I was surprised at how unprepared they were for an emergency. I figured post some ideas for anyone interested in being a bit more prepared.

Ugly bag to put everything in- I say ugly because it's less attractive to would-be theives.

Jumper Cables- better to have longer ones because you won't always be parked in a positiont hat makes getting to your battery easy.

A few bottles of water- they'll freeze in the winter of course but you can heat them up by placing them against a heater OR against your skin.

where can i find a psychiatrist in Toronto?

Hi babblers: I still have issues related to my diagnose (gender identity disorder). I do not know what I should do next or who I should talk to because I feel stuck.

its so hard to find a psychiatrist , the only type of doctor who can diagnose a patient and is covered by OHIP, to do regular follow up with patients in Toronto. It costs 200 dollar a session to see a psychologist and over a 100 to see a psychotherapist, and psychiatrists can only be referred by your family doctor and I only got to see a psy...chiatrist for one time and they said they don't need to see me again.

does anyone know anything about seeing a psychiatrist, not just a therapist or a counsellor?

with my new laptop, I'm no longer able to cut-and-paste links into my posts

Ken Burch — Wed, 30 Dec 2015 18:33:23 +0000

Is this happening to anyone else? Any suggestions on how to correct this? Thanks to anyone who offers them.

We need as many people as possible to post in the comments section of the current Yves Engler blog

Ken Burch — Tue, 29 Dec 2015 07:00:41 +0000

It's the one on accusations of anti-semitism at Concordia University(I'd post the link, but for some reason my new laptop isn't letting me cut-and-paste links into Babble threads).

The point here isn't the article itself, but the comments section below. For some reason, the comments are being dominated by ACTUAL antisemites and Holocaust deniers(one even praises Mein Kampf, for god's sakes).

If left unchallenged, these posts will bring dishonor and discredit on the whoe Rabble site, and be used against it by its enemies-to say nothing of the fact that they are reprehensible in their own right.

Dropped my laptop...now I can't type anything into it...any chance of saving it?

Ken Burch — Tue, 22 Dec 2015 23:56:18 +0000

Or do I just need to accept the need to buy a new one?

(I'm typing this at the library, in case you were wondering).
