Yeah, and that all or nothing attitude is a big part of it.
I've said to people before, I don't even know if I completely agree with everything I myself say, so I don't expect anyone else to agree with me on everything I say!
I'm trying to find the truth as best as I can understand it and that often means I'm outside of my comfort zone. It means I spent a lot of time looking up facts I say to make sure I remember right (and sometimes I can't find anything to back something up or I just straight-up got it wrong and have to drop that part of any argument I make). It means I spent a lot of time looking through everything to make sure I'm not saying something stupid (which doesn't mean I don't), and often in the process of writing a post I end up deleting the post entirely and starting over when I realize I've proven my original take wrong.
All this process might have criticisms that could be leveled against it, but the one thing you can't say is it's inauthentic. I like that phrase you used, "invalid person". Instead of just calling someone wrong and engaging with ideas, you just invalidate someone as a human being and then you don't have to...

I realized something when I spent a few posts involving reddit leftists: They don't seem to be able to comprehend anyone who disagrees with them, and so they assume everyone who disagrees with them is a troll or a liar.
Ironically, it's a complete lack of empathy, being incapable of putting yourself in someone else's shoes. "Obviously I'm just right, I have all the correct opinions, all the authoritative sources agree. Therefore someone who disagrees with me must be disingenuous because otherwise they'd just agree with me!"
It's not every leftist, but there's definitely a bunch of people being pied pipered into their positions who seem to think anyone who disagrees is just trolling.

With my music moved over to jellyfin (with finamp for accessing it via streaming) I ended up going with a different solution for podcasts, which I'm now using antennapod synced up to my nextcloud and it's nice getting back into podcasts. Previously I was sorta using a half-baked feature in nextcloud music that sorta worked but didn't really fit very well into any sort of workflow.

Let's not forget, Drew Barrymore was never the straightest arrow in the quiver. She was doing porn the moment she came of age when her uncle Steven Spielberg told her to cut that shit out and she started dating someone marginally more talented and got some movie roles.
Having mommy issues such that she'd call a hyena like that "momala" shows just how messed ups he still is.

Everyone gives Elon Musk and SpaceX flack for not being on the moon yet, and for having all his rockets blow up.
To be fair to Musk, he's trying to do rocketry and space travel with American engineers, because all the Nazi engineers JFK used to get to the moon aren't available anymore. None of these guys even had a world war to refine their rocketry skills! Unfair comparison!

I've written about this at length, but insurance companies are some of the most powerful regulators on earth.
If you do everything the government says they're happy. If you do everything the insurance company says they'll find more for you to do.

It matters insofar as it's important to talk about things that are factually accurate because otherwise idiots will see an inaccuracy and use it to nitpick when the fundamentals of the discussion are all solid.
To be clear, it doesn't go up to 66.7%, the inclusion rate goes up to 66.7%.
When you have cap gains in canada, you only have to include a certain percentage of the gains in your income which is then taxed at the normal marginal tax rate.
So previously it was about 50% of cap gains are taxed as income, now 66.7% of cap gains are taxed as income.
Remember that if you're investing and want to avoid capital gains, you can put a brokerage account or other investments into your TFSA where gains will be totally tax free. Every year after you're 18, your TFSA contribution limit grows every year (at the moment by $7,000 per year). The overwhelming majority of TFSAs contain savings accounts which is a waste of the tax privileged account. It definitely makes more sense to put something that has a capacity to grow a lot more in there.
(That being said, don't get me wrong, Trudeau is garbage, and the way he's like "We need to invest in housing and Gen Z" after doubling the national debt is insane and he's a total monster)

The British Columbia government is asking for help with all the drug use.
"we're from the federal government, we're here to help!"
"Start doing drugs on East Hastings"
Thank goodness what would we do without you?
