The far-right is a completely dead-on-arrival set of ideologies based in hatred, either for “others” or simply just not considering other people human beings and caring more about ones wallet and personal comfort than someone else’s well-being. They can go fuck themselves and do not deserve to be legitimized, and if that builds enough support to be a sizeable force then whatever country it is is filled with morons and, frankly, deserves whatever they get.

All governments are “coalitions” when no single party has a simple majority and frankly if you run a government and don’t even communicate with the other parties you should be run out office follwed by being run through a large, pointy object. Anyway, the idea of “including all the represetatives in a coalition” should be THE FUCKING BASELINE.

Here in Canada, the Conservatives time and again show how wildly incompetent and unwilling to behave and collaborate they are yet they still catch big numbers while having little to no policy except crying like babies every time the CBC is mean to them reports on them accurately. The left-wing and center parties made a coalition a few years back and the Conservatives called it cheating. They also talk about being “the official opposition” a lot but never really seem to worry about cooperation. Part of me wants to see them get a minority government and have to beg for votes from the very people they spewed hate towards for so long.

Bro just let them be upset. These people suck, the people enabling them suck, the general fact that it’s a dumbass religious excuse sucks, and the fact that this is completely “normal” for our species extra sucks. Not 100 years ago the very recent ancestors of Israeli Jews were super prosecuted and victims of a holocaust and now it’s 2025 and…they’ve learned absolutely nothing from that experience and are trying to wipe out an entire ethnic group.

It’s like, if you can’t expect genocide victims to understand that genocide is beyond reproach then where does that leave the rest of this place?

Yea same. Good thing that isn’t how it works at all. Also what, some water spray is worse than smearing poop around? Like, ok buddy.

It’s still pretty fucking bold to act like Artikal’s was some kind of fuckin’ unique masterpiece. Absolutely they sound pretty damn on the nose for just that chorus but holy crap, it’s not Dua Lipa’s fault(or whoever wrote the song) she took that lazy chorus idea and made it far better(and yes, I also think Levitating isn’t exactly a masterpiece either). Anyone who’s played an instrument with any amount of skill will come up with that rhythm and progression on their own at some point.

I don’t wanna be out here defending celebrities but from a musical creativity standpoint they may as well be suing because she used the same time signature.

Note: I couldn’t even find “Live Your Life” on Apple Music, only Youtube, and typing in just “Live Your Life” without the band name shows a, frankly awful, T.I./Rhianna song.

We can also add: “because of increased communication, women are feeling more confident about ignoring all the shitty men who can’t clear even the lowest bar.”

Seriously, absolutely wild how low the standards are right now and how so many people still can’t hack it. Love is love, people will marry and even have kids with someone they really care for ni matter the situation but if they can’t find anyone who can handle a baseline level of respect for their personhood and autonomy, well, they certainly aren’t gunna be getting married or having kids.

“Just because they disagree with the politics” look we can say what we want about the burning Teslas part this isn’t a “little disagreement”. Musk’s a full-blown turbo-Nazi and in and in Germany, where this happened, he’s pouring money into the AFD which is essentially just the return of a German Nazi party. Don’t water it down.

ICE cars are filled with gasoline and function by blowing it up, the risk is clear. EVs should not be catching fire.

Also yea, I want people to use public transportation, actually. And I want villages to return, not these horrendous sprawling “small towns” where, despite having less stuff than my Montréal neighbourhood, it’s a huge pain to get anywhere and you need a car at least simply because too many jobs that could be remote aren’t.

At some point you have to draw a line, and the car sold by the guy who’s directly helping to destroy the US, helping the AFD in Germany get more power, and cutting aid to so many other countries which will lead to millions of deaths is a pretty fucking easy line to draw. Besides, as the saying goes, “electric cars aren’t here to save the planet, they’re here to save cars” so take public transit and fight for it if you don’t have it(also this is in Germany and Europe generally has more options than the backwater that is the US).

There are plenty of other options that aren’t so boldly rotten as Tesla, too. People not wanting even the slightest inconvenience is how we get into these messes and it’s time to buck up and deal with it.

Civilized countries require insurance so that victims aren’t at fault and on the hook, and better ones will even provide it(the province of Québec does the liability portion, for example).

And the other 15%…?

No, that makes sense. I just missed him aswell/only had a couple years of it and it’s definitely nice to be able to look back on it instead of live it.

And yea, PP was his right-hand guy or whatever during that time and has always been a real douche. He didn’t grow into a conservative, he’s always been that guy. Sequels are so often clunkier exaggerations to capitalize off previous success, instead of doing their own things, and if PP gets in that’s what we’re gunna be dealing with.

Don’t forget hiding in a Brazilian bathroom because he didn’t get to be a special boy for no reason!

Well yea but that’s a low fuckin’ bar.

Tariffs can help with preparation, and they are a tool like many other policies. These ones, though, are not thoughtfully planned out. These protect no one, not even the mega-corps who need to figure out how to make everything domestically or price themselves out of the market.

To put details to other person’s point: Even if you lived pretty close, for a lot of things, the gas cost would probably offset a lot of the savings. For big things for sure it would make some sense but for other things it just wouldn’t make any sense. You’d have to live right on the border and have a town with stores that carry whatever you’re buying also be pretty close.
