Thanks for finally doing the right thing, Jagmeet! It only took your complete and utter defeat and losing official party status… but I guess it’s better late than never. (Please elect a socialist leader now.)

I want to add, for OP and others’ sake, that you don’t need to add all of your Steam games to Lutris/Heroic/whatever in order to play them. This step (enabling Proton) is all you should need.

Sorry, the NDP can’t be “the left” when they’ve not had socialism as a core part of their party identity for years now. They have to find some other grift now that they’ve ignored both what the country needs as well as the people that have supported them for decades.

I can’t keep voting NDP when they spit in my face and let Singh continue as leader after proving he doesn’t have what it takes. They are in a grave of their own making and it’s hard to feel bad for them. If you want to be the left, fucking act like leftists.

Dude, that’s so fucking weird. Neither of my parents ever went to college and I did, but I don’t obsess over it. “Everything” is a terrible answer.

Outside of university admissions, what’s the purpose of this? “Underrepresented” how? Do you really think society is a meritocracy?

Derek deVries likes to spend more time with his head up his ass than his nose in his Bible if he truly believes that this means he can’t Jesus any more.

I have a “I will not ever go back to Windows” mindset and I think that helps. If I fuck up my system to the point it’s not immediately fixable, I have a separate /home partition so I can wipe / and start over without worrying too much. I look for answers to fix things on my phone when my system is inaccessible so I’m not stuck.

I am really not a Linux expert, but I was a Windows power user and I like to fix things myself and understand the basics of why it broke.

Honest question: do you work for Fair Vote? I get their emails, so I am down with the goal, but I see you explicitly link to the community (where you’re a mod) a lot.

Funny how all the promises to imprison people for the rest of their lives are never broken but the promises to keep water clean are always broken. Interesting that most extraction projects run across indigenous land, isn’t it?

Omg, shorting RIM in 2009 would have been really stupid even though yes, the writing was on the wall.

There was a lot of national interest in keeping RIM afloat because it was basically our (Canada’s) first modern tech company to have wild success beyond our own borders. A lot of random people had very positive views of the company.

I didn’t really see a huge dip in support for RIM in the media until around 2012 or so. That would have been a way better time to short. But as you say, most people should never short a stock – it isn’t simple or easy to tell when to do it or when to stop.

Honestly, this is kind of the thing that confused me a lot in school during social studies and history. Indigenous people get to say no, but when they say no, the government gets to do it anyway. How is that legal? Why aren’t we bound by the law only when it comes to indigenous sovereignty?

Also, we’ve fucking failed as a country when we haven’t even implemented all of the articles of UNDRIP. That shit was first adopted in 2007 (Canada voted against it at first), and all we have now is a 5-year “action plan” for 2023-2028 where the goal is to “work towards” implementing the declaration.

And none of it is legally binding at all.

Things that PP thinks is woke:

• Healthcare
• Women
• Public transit
• The legal system
• Indigenous people
• Taxes

Why did the Conservatives choose a child to be their leader?

Sorry, when have “munchies” been associated with drinking and driving? That’s a ridiculous stretch. This occurred outside because of the amount of space it would take indoors.

Oh no, your house’s value didn’t double in ten years. How horrible for you, I will send a card at once.

The courts already don’t pass legislation. They pass rulings which inform legal precedent, and that is used as a base in cases where legislation is being challenged as unconstitutional.

He’s basically trying to find a way to make sure that illegal laws “stick” and that the courts can’t repeal them after the fact for being illegal. That should worry you, because the court being able to review a law for constitutionality is a sign of a free and just society, and PP wants to take that away.

There would be nothing stopping any government from just stripping the right to protest from the Human Rights Act, for example. The courts wouldn’t have the authority to act.

They’re wearing masks, so it’s 2020 or later in the photo, but weed was legalized federally in 2018. If cops in Canada did post this, they’re dumber than I gave them credit for.

It really grossed me out when they voted to remove the word “socialism” from all of their official documentation and party constitution. I haven’t been able to see them the same since.

I have hope they’ll go in a new direction after Jagmeet but I don’t know if the party will ever be like how it was. Really seems like the sun has set for the NDP after Jack Layton. Also every fucking email asks me for $20 that I don’t have without offering updates on the actual campaign or ways to get involved; just fundraising emails with no info.

They really lack any kind of fighting spirit at the national level and in Ontario (don’t know about other provinces, sorry). This isn’t even really about Jagmeet but the leaders of the party at the convention level; their decisions make the party look like a kicked dog that’s too scared to take up space.

We need confidence, we need socialist ideas, we need some fucking energy and not the corporate veneer that the NDP thinks will give them the legitimacy they want so bad. Only actual displays of concrete leadership will give them that.

STV is just a type of ranked ballot though, it’s not a separate method.

Working in consultation with data scientists and election statisticians, I’m sure a government could easily determine which methods would meet all of the criteria necessary to ensure a fair and free election. The problem is with calling a referendum in order to implement it, which I don’t think is actually required.

It literally cannot get worse than FPTP. I am okay with basically any voting method except FPTP and MMP (it’s just FPTP with party list seat linkage).

Cetaphil is pretty good for sensitive skin. They make a face lotion with sunscreen in it too, but I haven’t personally tried it. I think, as a brand, it’s at roughly the same price point as CeraVe.

That said, at home I do use CeraVe’s moisturizing cream on my body and face; I get the 539g jar with the pump and I’ve found it to be really economical. It’s not “face lotion” and doesn’t have sunscreen in it, though.

Great. Good thing (?) I didn’t unlock my account after the last breach because I never have 3 hours to do nothing while I wait on hold with CRA support.

It’s literally been the same for over 10 years. Just because you don’t know what 2S (Two Spirit) means doesn’t mean it hasn’t been around for a long time.

Maybe have some intellectual curiosity for once instead of taking the easy road to a stupid joke and punching down like a right-wing brainwashed automaton.
