Trudeau will fix healthcare right after he's fixed the drinking water on all those reserves.

Any day now.

That's an entire year's production for the entire company, and then some.

oh no! whelp I guess they're not gonna be doin that then.

Environmentalists: CO2 will literally end all life on earth!

Also environmentalists: here's a bacteria to convert dormant plastic around the world to CO2!

The big problem is the focus on safety. As the society more focused on safety than any other society in history, it's going to be more difficult to do great things, because you can only do great things that either are inherently safe to do, or to do 10 times the work to make sure nobody gets hurt.

It isn't sustainable. You can't be perfectly safe. Just the act of insisting on not taking any chances can result in dangers in the long term.

holy shit closure delivered fresh to my instance.

I actually really enjoy using my snowblower on freshly fallen snow. Especially when it's still soft enough that you can get right down to bare pavement and everything else is a winter wonderland.

(Then the plow comes by and god damnit......)

It's just like this for most things now.

tfw no tony jay 😭

Any sustainable overarching philosophy requires balancing many opposing but necessary factors. Fairness is opposed to merit because merit isn't fair but both are practically speaking mandatory. Individualism and collectivism. Law and Liberty. Teleological and deontological ethics. Flexibility and toughness. Purity and diversity.

Paradoxically, while fairness and merit are in opposition, they (like some of the things I listed above) aren't necessarily entirely opposite. Merit is often considered more fair a measure than something more arbitrary like purity or authority not derived from merit.

The interesting thing is that the fact that any of these factors being absolute would result in atrocity is an easy path to discredit any of them, but that's a mistake. The fact that a value being held absolutely would lead to atrocity doesn't mean that it is a discredited value. It only means that it can't stand alone.

I disabled new logins for a while on fbxl video because peertube has incompatibilities with openssl3, but before I did I noticed that tons of accounts were obviously fake and going to become a spam problem. I turned on email verification and it seemed to help a lot since they use fake email addresses most of the time.

Fry would've been fried.

It still does bug me the idea that because you're worried about one vaccine you're against all vaccines that these people push.

If you guys were feds you'd tell me.....right?

I've said it for a while, that for most people, "work from home" doesn't involve working. It takes a special sort of person to actually be productive.

Judging his administration by actions rather than words, he had a very light touch. I suspect he was worried about breaking anything important by fiddling with stuff he had no real clue about.

I think in 15 minutes we could both come up with dozens of ideas of people to pardon who would have an outsized effect on his public perception, and that's just one power.

There's been a lot of conspiracy theories.

It's just one thing after another. The election wasn't even over when the now proven fraudulent Russiagate started. The Hillary Clinton campaign was fined by the election commission for their role in that hoax. It's just been one thing after another since. Accusation after accusation after accusation, and accusing the people around him, and accusing the people associated with him, it just never ended, and very little of it ended up bearing any fruit. It was just conspiracy theories.

I don't particularly care about Trump per se. It was pretty funny that he won the election in 2016, but he's an idiot who failed on a lot of fronts when he could have succeeded. Snowden and Assange both being good examples. The guy ran on balanced budgets and spent more in 4 years than Obama spent in 8. There's lots to criticize him for, he's all talk no action.

I do particularly care about abuses of power by the state. I was against it in 2001 when George W. Bush was president, and I'm against it today with Joe Biden as president. If a former president of the United States is vulnerable to having law enforcement weaponised against them like it has been, then it can happen to literally anyone, and it will.

Yeah, just like all the other conspiracy theories from the past 5 years. I'm sure this one is totally real and true, unlike all the other ones.

this'll be the one for sure.
