"it turns out that you're all fantastic at battling the enemies of the empire! Hail Brittania!"
And lo, she didst throw the holy hand grenade at the lady's vajayjay and there was much rejoicing.
Some people accuse Pierre Poilievre of being divisive, and he should be nicer, more passive.
I will never forget that Justin Trudeau was out there saying I was a racist sexist misogynistic transphobic homophobic American Russian because I thought his government should implement policies in March that he ultimately implemented in October.
You can't have a one way conversation where someone is calling you such hateful things and not push back. That's why the Conservatives (who had a number of relatively 'nice guy' candidates, I need to remind you) needed Poilievre. It'd be nice if we can get back to centrism, and I think that once the current divisive government is out of there we could get back to the work of running the country, it might even be that Poilievre has a short tenure if he doesn't chill out. But you can't fight hate with passivity, you can't just sit there and take it, because unfortunately a lot of people see these vicious attacks on fellow Canadians and assume that they're correct and true.

Oh great! So we have allies in the fight for Dr. Seuss and Ron Dahl books being banned or modified to "suit modern audiences"
Oh wait, nevermind... He just wants his censorship and because his faction controls the establishment they can do it at the publisher level instead of at the grassroots level.

I'm with you. People are so focused on the destination that they completely ignore the journey people used to get there.
The rich are also the powerful because money is power, so let's say that you establish a 100% inheritance tax. No problem if you're rich, you just spend your money while you're alive to powermonger your kids into enviable positions where they get a bunch of the money everyone ends up having to give to the government because they're sooooo careful with everyone's money.
"Excuse me, one of the core tenets of our cult is that it is not a cult. We reject all religion, and so to claim we're a religion is sacrilegious."
My portfolio is up 12% in the past 12 months which is insane.
At this rate I'll be a millionaire. Shame a typical shipping trip will cost $500,000

Dostoyevsky's notes from the underground Part 2 Chapter 1 has a story about a long "vendetta" between the underground man and an officer. It was a comedy in how he was so intent on things and cared so much about an imagined slight and prepared and saved and got an advance on his salary and all this preparation... to nudge this guy slightly while walking down the street instead of completely moving aside.
It felt like a comedy to me, where someone uptight got themselves all worked up against someone who didn't hardly even know they existed, become obsessed, and the impression I got is that the officer didn't even know the other guy existed.
The way the Underground Man talks and acts is starting to make me realize he's a nerd, and almost shockingly similar to repressed nerds in the current age.
He is also highly vain about his intelligence, and how well-read he is, and he really feels like that makes him a better person than others. His imaginary feud started up in part because he didn't get into a dramatic fight that would be appropriate for a work of literature, and he blamed not just starting a fight in the bar because it wouldn't be fantastical like his stories.
I'll say I can see why it's considered a masterwork, because while it's investigating a lot of themes, it's also fairly entertaining. The first part of the book could be seen as reasonable within itself, but then you see his actual behavior it's almost cartoonish the way he is.

I wonder, if you're afraid of heights does that concept even kick in at that point? Or is it just like TILT
"we have women and children begging for mercy and then we refuse to show them any. Are you sure we're the good guys?"
I said it a lot -- it takes 9 months to make a baby and it takes a long term to do long term testing.
You know, Superstore/Extra Foods used to make the best greek salad. Then they changed it and it's never been the same ever since which is really sad.
