Canada is in existential need of electoral reform. People should be able to vote for who they actually want to represent them.

Weirdly, I know of more women who listen to joe rogan than men (okay, the numbers are 2 to 0, so not that mindblowing). I don’t fucking get it.

It was the same thing with friends who liked Elon Musk before he went fully mask off after buying Twitter. Who he was, and the function he provided, was so completely obvious to anyone who was paying attention. I don’t get how anyone could miss it.

How to pull them out of the bog, no idea.

For my part I’ve just confessed my ignorance of what’s going on on the commercial web, and shared with them the kinds of conversations I’m have on the non-commercial parts (fedi, email, chats, smol web, etc), which are usually nicer and more productive.

Although to certain extent I still consider this here a form a social media… and I’m not actually sure that it’s good for us past a certain number of people. It might be “more cacophony than community” to quote one of Matthew Graybosch’s blog posts.

It is better here than on the mainstream social medias, though. That’s for sure for sure.

EDIT anyway, that’s a total aside. I just couldn’t help picking up that one thread. Good comment. I love your approach.

Even if they come back. It’s not worth the labour to hold their hand through that shit. Maybe their mom or dad can talk some sense into them, but I sure as shit wouldn’t want to live with someone like that while they figure out how to screw their head back on straight.

Confirmed. Sometimes I start a sentence and don’t even know what my point is until I get to the end of it! I am a total fool. But at least I’m not a fuckin chud.

Still, 41% sounds absolutely critical level, like we need to stop all society and have a conversation, because that is so uncool.

Fucking 41… Like that is a plurality. That is a whole fucking lot of wrong people. That is entirely too many bros. I’m not sure I can impart just how disappointing that number is.

I don’t think it’s fair to tie history that far back to current people. Maybe it’s context for what’s going on now, idk, but it’s wrong to point to it as some sort of gotcha.

There’s more than enough damning history just looking back one week.

80% approval rating??? Wow, what must that be like…

Oh that’s awful. I thought the nightmare might finally be over.

I can’t imagine getting these orders, to break ceasefire, and actually executing them. It’s monstrous…

Housing is so loony right now. I managed to borrow enough to make a downpayment before it got really crazy. For everyone’s sake I hope the market gets flooded with affordable units and crashes the values back down to where they were in the 90s.

I’m sorry for all the single mortgage havers whose savings is all their house, but we’re already better off than so many people just by paying the bank directly rather than a fucking land lord.

Welcome, new one!

Does the /s mean that you don’t need WSL to run it on Windows?

Finally I can call myself a centrist

Nice

I think it’s a great target to aim for. That’s an unfathomable income to most people, so it should at least have popular support
