Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

Is this one of those "I don't like him anymore so he's a nazi" things?

Because the vibe I get from Jontron is that he didn't follow the auth-left into the self-censorship gulags and they hate him for it.

One of the things people don't realize about insidious invisible censorship on big tech sites -- someone else (who? Who knows!) gets to decide what you engage with instead of you making that decision for yourself.

A lot of people think they want that, and maybe if you fully trust your censors you might, but who actually trusts Facebook? They're pretty dodgy.

Interac is a standard for moving money around in Canada. First of all it is supported at virtually every store in Canada because the processing fees are significantly lower than credit cards and anyone with a bank account can use it, but it is also used online. For example, you can send money to another person through email or text messaging, and they also do internet payment processing. It's largely handled from your bank.

To give you an example, I pay my daycare using interac, I just have the name and email listed in my bank software, and when I go in and send the money it shows up immediately in her bank account. Lots of people pay their rent with e-transfer, or other things.

The last couple years I paid my income taxes using interac e-transfer, showing it's a heavily used.

It can also be used as a point of sale online, where they give you a link that begins the process of authorizing the payment, and from there it's very much like using PayPal or something.

One thing that's much nicer about it than credit cards is it's all instant. With credit cards, it takes time to process, it takes time to show up in your account, charges take time to show up on your list, with interac, the moment that you put it in the payment goes through the money is taken from your account and put into the other account, or is immediately taken from the other account and put into your account.

Lots of people got really sick from the jab even if it didn't permanently harm them, so I think it simply follows naturally for them that the thing that made you really sick probably killed some people.

In my country, over 90% of people got the jab the first time[1] (under duress, admittedly). The numbers quickly dropped from there, and only 15% got the latest booster[2]. That sort of number speaks to a lot of people changing their minds. I know I got really sick, and so did a lot of people close to me.

The propaganda can say as much as it wants, but it isn't powerful enough to cause people to reject personal experiences.

Someone was replying to the following message from nostr:

I lowkey kinda think it's really funny calling the ladies on spinster incels.

"Ladies, you'll never know.....the.....touch..........of a woman....... Uh, so there?"

There are also places where centigrade and fahrenheit put their differences aside to agree it's -40.

Interac handles small payments all the time without handing all control to the central banks.

It's very doable but they just want to do it for various reasons.

Covid is the new terrorism. "Be afraid of this thing so we can do whatever we want"

Even now there's people freaking out because they were told to be afraid.

Nobody but John Bolton liked John Bolton, and yet there he was, one of many swamp monsters whispering in Trump's ear.

Once the wind is doing literally anything windchill starts to get downright unreal.

Some reality. -41, how many solar panels you think it'd take to not die every day?

There's actually 2 things people who never experience that kind of cold don't understand.

1. the coldest days are crystal clear, not a cloud in the sky, because clouds keep in the heat. The problem is that the sun isn't up long enough or intense enough to actually heat the air.

2. the coldest days don't snow because the snow just stops as it gets so cold. It's too cold to snow because it's too cold for any moisture to speak of to be in the air.

It's counter to everything most human beings have ever experienced.

Honestly, 100%.

"Here's a list of things he said he'd do that he didn't", "Here's a list of idiots he appointed to positions of power that ended up betraying him", "Here's how much the budgets he ran added to the federal debt", "Here's the things he could have done during the summer of love but didn't"

Nope, instead it's "oh no he's so amazing and great we better abuse our powers to make sure we get him in undemocratic ways because he'll definitely win the election because he's so great"

Trump wasn't even able to get the military to tell the truth about the number of troops in the middle east, and he's supposed to somehow order them to take over a country filled with people raised from birth to worship the republic?

Well, and also that the amount of stuff went down, for example because they shut the planet earth down for years.

At that point, no amount of price increases can help increase the amount of stuff being produced since the stuff makers were shut down by government fiat.
