Of course they’re not interfering. The last time they did that with the railway, it cost them their supply and confidence deal with the NDP. If they do it again, do they think the Cons and the NDP will hold back on a confidence vote?
Is your government really worth whatever you’re personally getting from industry CEOs?
“If the two parties are unable to reach an agreement, we will begin drafting legislation to re-nationalize the company”
Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein is one the books I read during my formative years that I still think about a lot.
If you like graphic novels, The Sandman by Neil Gaiman is fantastic. Great writing and great artwork.
My mom has always written Alta when addressing mail. I wonder if it’s an older convention that’s still clinging on for some people. I’ve used AB my whole life.
Weirdly enough, Biden.
Trudeau said his government is more focused on tackling the affordability crisis and climate change.
Ok, well those have been catastrophic problems for at least 30 years. How much focus time is needed before any action is taken?
My baby has diapers that say “up to 100% leakproof”. It does not help my confidence in the product.
When Windows 95 was still sold on floppy, it came on 25 fucking floppies in the box.
So I say put Windows 38 on them.
Not a doctor, but I wouldn’t assume a cream and a tablet will function the same way for the same problem.
One thing you could try: instead of showering, take a bath. Soak in the water for a while, then dry off and apply the cream right away. Obviously doesn’t help for everything, but in my experience, having well hydrated skin makes a lot of things sting a lot less.
I hope not! He’s way too old to get voted out and have to figure out how to get a job and take care of himself like an adult. You can’t just throw a grifter off the public teat like that! The poor little landlord might starve!
It looks like it gives birth to Cybertrucks.
The universal problem is that there’s no shared definition of what a downvote represents. Is it “this is spam and should be removed”? “I don’t like this”? “This doesn’t belong here”? “I want to see less of this”? “I disagree”?
That’s not even a Reddit problem - it’s innate to any social media voting apparatus. Extend it to Facebook, even. Does the laugh reaction mean I’m laughing with you or at you?
Most comments and posts I’ve downvoted have been because I accidentally swiped too far right and my upvote changed to the downvote action and I didn’t even notice. So those downvotes don’t even mean anything!
I think the right answer is to stop worrying about votes. Even if they all mean the same thing they’re still meaningless. It’s better to change your post and comment sorting setting than to try to social engineer a way out of it.
"Under the shell on the left, the social programs you need. But along with it, too often you have to buy bloated government, ever-increasing spending, divorced from delivering results. “Under the shell on the right, we’re supposed to find fiscal discipline. But along with it, too often there’s a mean-spirited approach that blames the most vulnerable for their plight, selfishness masquerading as liberty that happily misdirects government resources to the wealthy, and polices our bodies and our bedrooms.”
Holy shit, what a well-phrased criticism of the big 2 parties!
Especially if they died and taught everyone else to not eat that thing.
They all drive or have drivers, and they don’t care how their underpaid domestic help has to get to their houses to pamper them.
The counsellors are doing exactly what the people of West Van want them to.
When they tried to add a bus lane there were a bunch of NIMBY protestors that made so much noise they crippled the plans and now the rapid bus ends about 200m into West Van.
It’s nice to see a higher government giving them a slap.
You’re just mad Gender Studies didn’t call you for a second interview.
It sounds like MBA word salad. “We’re adding AI to the phone system somehow”.
