The double standards are disappointing in that regard too.
2000 they cried that the election was illegitimate.
2004 they cired that the election was illegitimate (due to voting machines, no less!)
2008 they said the elections were perfect
2012 they said the elections were perfect
2016 they said the election was illegitimate
2020 they said the elections were perfect
hmmmmm...

Honestly, I saw the story but I have to admit, I call bullshit on the idea that the vaccines were so overwhelmingly lethal.
If that many people died, we'd know without a study or a whistleblower or anytihng -- we'd know because everyone would know multiple people who died from the shot.
Canada had an 85% vaccination rate among adults before the goal posts shifted, and I absolutely saw an overwhelming prevalence of bad side effects of the vaccine (I slept for an entire day and night after taking it, my father was going to do a contracting gig and he was so sick from the shot he had to quit, and several people I worked with told me stories about how bad the vaccine made them feel), I'm not aware of anyone who died of the shot.
I got blocked by Jeff Cliff for pointing out this about both covid itself and covid vaccines -- if either one was as lethal as claimed, you wouldn't need to measure deaths with a micrometer, we'd all know lots of people who died.

Here's an example (not the one I'm going to talk about, but this is the website):

There was a bill going through that directly impacted me, so I was paying close attention. It was around budget time so I got to read members of provincial parliament arguing whether a certain line item on the budget went up from last year to next year or not.

I don't know why exactly anyone in comics gate would have to steal from their customers. They're charging like $85 for a comic book. The scam is already built into the price...
(Except Tennapel. His books are works of art worth the price)

Just more evidence that January 6th was a coup, but not the coup that everyone thinks.
For a little while I even read the transcripts of my provincial parliament. It convinced me that most politicians don't just act retarded, they actually are.
As a perpetual sufferer of 8th grader syndrome I deeply want the truck that looks like I drew it in the margins of my notebook while taking notes in class.
I'm not gonna pay for one, but I would to love to win one in a lottery.

It's interesting that people don't intuitively understand the relationship between the two
tbh, free markets sure seem to be favoring asians at the moment.
otoh, these people claim "whiteness" is defined by being rich, successful, and powerful because they're racist.

Don't go to New York City. Even once. It is, as I understand it, a little hell.

Back when I was young, there was a lot of Christian media that was just insufferable. It was preachy, it was badly done, you felt like you were doing a job watching it.
So does that mean media can't work with Christian themes can't work?
Obviously not. Because I'm a weeb I'll use Trigun as an example of a show with very heavy Christian themes, it's widely accepted as a great work of anime and all kinds of people love it in part *because* of the beautiful Christian themes it contains.
In the same way, you can explore many woke themes and actually not be insufferable. It's been done a lot to be honest, previous eras had really good creators believe in woke sort of ideas but they still made amazing art containing those themes. But most woke media today reminds me of the old Christian media, just as preachy and insufferable and unwatchable.

A lot of people say things like "Canada doesn't have free speech because it doesn't have a first amendment."
The reality is worse than that. Canada is one of just a few countries to have freedom of speech enshrined in its constitution, specifically the 1984 constitution act that Includes the charter of rights and freedoms explicitly giving all Canadians freedom of speech.
The courts strike down laws on constitutional grounds all the time, even. The truckers won many of the cases brought during the convoy for example.
People will point at the notwithstanding clause as an example of how Canada doesn't actually have any rights, but to invoke the notwithstanding clause an unconstitutional law needs to be effectively renewed every 5 years. It's a lever that is often threatened but rarely used.
The real problem is that you can't rely on laws to police the government. The people in government need to hold those as sancrosanct because otherwise the government which is filled with lawyers we'll just find a way around the laws that they're not allowed to break. And that's what we get to see in Canada.

More evidence that the only acceptable minority to the far left is in fact a white southern California far leftist who has been dipped in tea.
How dare a native American... wear a headdress and paint their face......
We see the same thing with their attitude toward Muslims, where they're the staunchest defenders of the faith right up until the Muslim actually expresses an opinion informed by their faith. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU AREN'T AN ALLY OF THE LGBT+?! AREN'T YOU BEIGE?!"

If you tell someone to kill themselves then the government might not need a new government program to tell people to kill themselves.
All I ever hear from jagmeet is "arf! arf! arf!" as he barks from within Justin's purse like the lapdog he is. Sometimes he yips at his master, but that's what lapdogs sometimes do.
It's sad, the NDP used to be respectable. You might have disagreed with Jack Layton, but at least you could tell he was doing what he felt was right.

I have this idea in my head that activitypub can scale specifically when it's split up with different small servers. That way everyone connects to who they connect to and everyone you aren't connected to is basically using no resources on your server. Mastodon.social can have millions of users but that doesn't affect me.
They're introducing a suicide hotline in canada.

I agree 75%.
For something like history I'm ok with the idea of starting shallow and digging deeper. One of the problems we face is that there's unlimited information and you need to start somewhere, and a comfy cartoon with a general rundown isn't a bad place to start, but once the framework is in place it's time to start digging.
I started a history kick a few years back and a huge thing is just getting started because I didn't know enough to know how little I knew. At least with a few hours of 15 minute cartoons you can start to appreciate the 10,000 mile view.
