Looks like that girl lost an arm so he's performing CPR badly. I'd cry too, she's probably not gonna make it.

AI fails to capture the essence of Trudeau, but the video is better than any actual Trudeau clip or Colbert clip from the past 15 years.

I've started to hear rumors that the tide of woke might be turning, and the successes of movies that don't inject politics into stories that don't need them is actually due to a decision made a while back to start turning the ship at companies like Disney.
Of course, you can't turn a battleship like a speedboat, it takes a long time for these things to play out assuming it's even happening, so nobody should expect things to become ok again tomorrow. But I could believe it.
Some people think that companies will be too drawn into the DEI money such as cheap loans to possibly change, but let me ask you a question: As a business, would you rather have loans, or paying customers?
One danger is that slow processes tend to overshoot. The ideal for customers would be a chill agnosticism to politics rather than picking one side or another to any extreme. There's a lot that everyone can agree on so we don't need to focus every second in our escapism over the things we might disagree with.
It used to be that you obviously had friends you disagreed with politically but it wasn't the main focus of life. Two people can have diametrically opposed views on something like transgender washrooms, but if they're talking about the harmonics at the beginning of Roundabout by Yes and bonding over that, it turns out the bathroom habits of 0.1% of the population barely even come up. It's sort of narcissistic for anyone to think that their pet issue has to be brought into every single conversation at all times.

Wait a minute, my posts are usually 15,000 characters long, and none of these are that long. I'm probably okay

She can finally answer that question everyone is asking: "What would you do if you were in charge of the border?"

Canadians don't vote parties in, they vote parties out. And when you're out, it's usually so hard your grandkids feel it.
In Ontario, the Liberals thought they were going to rule forever. It's been I think 3 elections and they aren't even an official political party yet.
Chairman Xi can't cheat enough to make up that amount of fail.

The only downside to Trudeau losing the next election in a landslide is that what will all of us do with the trudeau impersonations we've cultivated over the years? All that wasted effort for someone who is likely to die in obscurity after the next election.
I'm a retard, but I like to effortpost. So if you don't like it just block me because I'm not gonna stop.
My son had some friends over yesterday, and they noticed how many more toys he has compared to them. We aren't so well off, I'm just a blue collar stiff, but he's an only child and there's 4 kids in their family and they aren't as well-off financially. My wife didn't notice them saying it but I did. I brought it up to her afterwards and told her we should have a strategy to deal with it, and so I suggested we say "yes, our son is blessed and that's why he shares his toys and invites his friends over to have fun with all these toys".
I read her the definition of noblesse oblige, the idea that nobles besides having the privilege of power and wealth have an obligation to their subjects to give back including things like putting on social events. Obviously we're not anything like titled nobles, but it's relatively universal that the strong have an obligation to the weak. In the west that phrase is common, but in the East Confucian thought demands a noble do his duty to his subjects to maintain social cohesion. Again, we aren't nobles, but as people slightly better off than our neighbors the concept still makes sense.
Some might think we should tell them it'll fill them with joy and be fun but I don't agree. I think for men, giving them a duty to fulfill actually gives them greater joy than just saying it will give you joy. It gives them a goal, a way to say "you have this duty to fulfill so go out and do so" and when they do it brings deeper fulfillment than just the fun of the thing.
I also tend to think that looking at it through this lens will help reduce the risk of the tragedy of the commons, since that same obligation to others is also an obligation to yourself to maintain what you already have and not let others destroy it. If you don't take care of your blessings, then you won't be able to share them with others. If you let someone else destroy what you have, you also won't be able to share them with anyone else. There's a big difference between communism or socialism and noblesse oblige, the difference between taking and giving, the difference between everyone owning something and somebody owning something.

The CCP needs coal. It's fine, the name of the phenomenon is "global climate change (except when carbon is burned in Asia)" but most authors just shorten the phrase for brevity.
Youtuber Whatifalthist has proposed the same sort of thing. If a problem is solvable, then the project has a beginning, a middle, and an end and then the managerial class might have to give up some of their power. It only makes sense then to have problems that will never be solved so they can keep growing in power forever.
