How you fuckers doing, eh?

Haha, yes there’s that extreme. However that effect is a gradient. You start to notice it north of the 60th parallel (Canada where the bulk of the population lives) but it’s only slight. In winter the sun is just slightly south of the middle of the sky.

Here in Campbell River BC we are at the 50th parallel, and on Saturday at Noon (we are out of DST now so we are talking true noon) the sun was to the direct south, 45 degrees to the horizon. It rises and sets… but to the SE, S and SW.

*Advice not applicable if you are north or south of a given latitude.

Not at all what I suggested. I also believe that this is a good movement. But sometimes there are other side effects.

The reality is many right leaning folks follow religious beliefs that encourage large families and discourage birth control, so be default they do “shit out more kids than the other side” and thus that is why the status Quo for the right was preserved for so many generations, arguably right up until WW2 and the information age when knowledge turned the tide. And the right knows knowledge turned the tide, hence why a large part of Project 2025 is about crippling the education system.

I believe we need to have less kids to reduce population and practice degrowth, frankly. I believe MAGA idiots and any man that voted for Trump do deserve this cock block. I am just also seeing where this may backslide. It’s good to keep looking at all possibilities.

The movement is great; this thread did connect it to the start of Idiocracy for me though. Smart people having less kids and dumb people breeding like rabbits. I fear this movement has all the potential of limiting the left from reproducing while the right keeps right on going. Gives one pause.

Designers need to wake up and realize their job is to understand what the user wants not what they saw in a wet dream.

True, though I would much rather see an NDP gov for once. The liberals make tons of progressive promises and then never deliver. The NDP strong armed them into the dental care plan else it likely would have never gone through.

Trudeau also seems to think he’s not the problem with the party… Or something. He recently said he has no plans on stepping down (or something to that effect) so I have doubts we’ll see him step down.

The same could be said for NDP. I like Signh but he has failed to woo the electorate for multiple federal elections. Time to try something different. Why not try a woman? Show you are actually progressive as a party and maybe we’ll see hardcore Liberal voters put their vote behind the NDP.

Trump is going to start trade wars and inflation will skyrocket again. Its all going to get fucked.

Been voting NDP for 12 years. I also donate what I can. I made one strategic vote in the first Trudeau election to make sure Harper was out. That’s it.

Trump is going to put a 10% tarrif on Canadian goods. Conservatives and Liberals will likely push Trudeau to respond in kind, upping prices, all but guaranteeing a PP win because most of the people angry voting for the right now are not politically engaged.

The politically uninformed have no comprehension of cause and effect. They look up and shits expensive one day and they look at the people up at the top of various tiers of politics and blame them, or they get told they are at fault by the opposition, and even though that opposition passed the legislation when they were in power and a delayed effect is being seen, the uninformed voter takes that at face value and doesn’t question it. They are uninformed and they like it that way. So they are a tool that can always be weaponised.

Nothing will stop PP coming in short of a miracle because those voters will not get informed by the next election.

To add on to that, provincial and country leaders have little direct control of prices today. Any oversight or controls have been severely hampered. They can make them worse, but any policy that may make them better will have a long lead time to take effect and will be unlikely to affect the global reality unless passed by someone like the US that has enough buying power to affect markets.

Neither Trudeau or Poliviere can solve the cost of living problem because Canada is too small a fish in a now global sea.

Most importantly always break well before a turn in snow. Never break in a turn.

Now I need to see a photo shop of a Post brand cereal named Nut Clarity, with picture of fuzzy almonds floating in milk.

O.o this comment is from 2024?

The US continues to surprise me.

In Canada the driver is penalized if any of their passengers are not wearing a seatbelt. Refusal to wear one means getting booted from the vehicle.

Oh… This is it. The site I blacked out. Good grief what a horrible place.

There was some website that I’ve blacked out that had horrifying video of people dying in accidents. I remember someone sent me a link with a motorcyclist being hit by a train. I never clicked another link from that site.

It was worse than tubgirl.

What if that is exactly what puts Freeman on Starbase 80?

So, is anyone else anticipating some crossover with Prodigy and the events that affected the Prime Universe in it’s Season 2?

Because that’s exactly where my mind went when they did the whole foreshadowing of “someone sure is opening a lot of time rifts lately”. (I might have that quote off a bit from Captain Freeman but I’ll edit once I get a chance to rewatch.)

Yep, for now I just add the Discourse forums to my RSS reader in Nextcloud and catch the new posts in the Nextcloud News app
