I saw a video once, so I’m pretty much an expert in it.

It would be interesting if the answer to the Fermi paradox was that every advanced lifeform accidentally blows themselves up.

I think I was thinking of plebchan. From what I can tell, it’s based off plebbit, which looks to be the same stack that seedit uses.

IIRC, someone was talking about their p2p text only 4chan clone recently. I forget what it was called though.

Whoa there… We eat mold too if they’re the right type and on the right things.

I mean, I’d be happy enough to cede our allegiance as a commonwealth colonial power, as it’s kinda gross. But since we still are, we might as well use it to our advantage.

If we can broker some favour and some sort of potential defense pact from the rest of the commonwealth nations against the US’s declared hostile intentions, then why not use it to our advantage?

Soft power is still power.

Wilson said that for the past five years he had asked 300 first-year criminology students to raise their hand if they had watched a beheading video online. “All of them have,” he said, adding that this prevalence was reflected in an increase in these crimes.

Yeah, this passage in particular was a bit of a head scratcher. Like, you could pick any societal change since the adoption of the internet and say the same thing. If anything it indicates the opposite.

I had a dumb thought: “My riding is very lopsided, I don’t really need to go out today, do I?”

OH, YES I DO. If anyone else thinks that way, then it makes my vote even more important/impactful, and you never know what’s going to happen.

(Also I can get some groceries on my way back. :)

If by “negotiate an end…” you mean carve Ukraine up for mineral and land rights, then I suppose that’s probably accurate enough.

The billionaires are already in the business of inventing new currencies as a method of wealth extraction. So unless the new currency is billionaire scalps, it’s not going to do anything.

Sorry, I should’ve been more specific. I meant the YouTube thumbnail:

That’s pretty wild too, though!

Where is that thumbnail from? It doesn’t look anything like that I saw in the video.

Ontario’s NDP and Liberals are both pledging tens of billions of dollars in new spending to pay for their campaign promises, but are taking different approaches to the other side of the ledger, with the NDP proposing wealth taxes and the Liberals eyeing “efficiencies.”

Sounds like more austerity and tax cuts from the libs. They really want the cons to win I guess. Hopefully they aren’t thinking about some sort of department to oversee these efficiencies…

I’m all for higher taxes on the very wealthy.

Yeah you do that politically

If the PM saying publically “You can’t take our country” isn’t an example of doing just that, I don’t know what would be.

The fact that a war isn’t out of the question is exactly why we puff ourselves up and look as intimidating as we possibly can. Trump is not simply going to ignore a free meal of all our national resources, but he might give it a pass if he realises we’ll bite back.

The answer is “Not”.

Cowering from bullies doesn’t make them ignore you. It just reinforces that you’re an easy target. You stand ground, and be ready to pop em in the face if they come for you.

You might even get the worst of it, but from then on they know they can’t come for you without having to pay for it.

LCBO’s Ontario protectionism has been a PITA. We used to at least be able to pick up some Quebec beers like Maudite and Fin du Monde, if not some of the smaller breweries. Would be nice to see a reversal of that.

7.5/10. Sweet chilli heat doritos would bump it to 9/10.

Worst case Ontario would be Doug Ford getting another term next week.
