It’s freeing for me in that, “No matter what, we’re at the guaranteed fuck stage. My brain is now freeing up the energy that goes to unproductive worry, and it can now be spared for productive minimization of damage”, which I thought was clear with me saying “Still gonna be for eco measures and such”
Huh. That’s oddly freeing
“Oh we’re all fucked guaranteed. The stress is gone”
I mean, still gonna be for eco measures and such, but it’s like a weight is off my shoulders in terms of worry
“Counter question: What stops a creep from doing that even if there was an anti trans law?”
Still kind of surprised there hasn’t been a poisoning attempt on him yet because of how much his ego thrives on being buttered up
I am looking to that. Been exposed to a LOT of second hand smoke growing up, and I have various medical problems that increase my risk for cancer, and also the wildfires I’ve had to work in…
People, smoking doesn’t just affect you, and also who the fuck leaves all the doors and windows in a house open during thick wildfire smoke and then demands the person having an anxiety attack to help with heavy lifting outside like come the fuck on
Hope this results in Firefox changing it to be opt in and not result in Firefox going the way of the dodo - We can’t have Chromium be the only option, and without somebody developing base Firefox, the forks are going to die off
Yeah, I got which world war mixed up. Been a while since I looked into it
Whoops, got which world war wrong. It was world war one
https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/the-forgotten-ferocity-of-canadas-soldiers-in-the-great-war (I know, ew, National Post)
https://www.cbc.ca/history/SECTIONSE1EP12CH1LE.html (holy shit CBC update this part of your site. This one is more to back it up in that even with pride behind it, it kind of has an underlying tone of… Holding back)
It’s hard to find direct proper sources since it seems we’ve buried that part of our history some and Google sucks ass these days, but I’ll edit in more as I find them
EDIT: https://web.viu.ca/davies/H355H.Cda.WWI/Cook.PoliticsOfSurrender.pdf (university site)
Canada in WWII basically invented a bunch of entirely new warcrimes
There’s a reason Nazi Germany was terrified of Canadians and convinced they were demons sent from hell itself
EDIT: Got which world war wrong. Nazi Germany feared Canada because of what Canada did in WWI
I swear it’s got to be to drag the middle east into a massive war to maybe trigger some sort of clause that forces the US to go to war for Israel or end up with massive penalties. It’s the only thing that makes sense that isn’t just, “For the Evilulz”
And I swear to fuck if the US was actually stupid enough to enter a deal that forces them to go to war and send troops if the entire Middle East turns on Israel…
What is Israel trying to do, beat Canada’s record for war crimes added to the Geneva Convention?
Or are they trying to piss off the Middle East enough to get them all to bomb them all at once so they can demand the US send in troops to protect them, dragging the world ever closer to WWIII because their sociopathic leader wants to genocide a people to get real estate?
Dammit Canada get your shit together and recognize Palestine

To be fair, if a guillotine is used, the blood pressure drop is probably going to knock you out before the searing pain prior to death kicks in, so a stubbed toe could arguably feel worse

Honestly, I had forgotten about Kamala when arguing that Biden was the best bet. My argument always lay in, “Needs to be familiar because Trump has this uncanny ability to swamp somebody without a track record”, and I completely forgot Kamala fit that exactly in the same way Biden did - By being a VP
SO glad I was wrong, too - It was a lot of me groaning, “Oh god Biden is our best bet dear fuck no…”
And considering how the average person doesn’t pay that much attention and often needs to see the person in action, it’s why I don’t fault people for voting for him in 2016
After that, however, there was no excuse
I will not mind a resurgence of sacrifices to gods if it’s limited to billionaires as offerings
That does seem more realistic than them allowing people to take their wealth. I swear they are like dragons - They’ll cling to their hoard even if it means their death
I am so slow lately I saw this yesterday and only just now got the joke
