hey man - poutine with smoked brisket is fucking delicious

TylerC - I would have to agree being an Alberta man myself

@TylerC the disappointment I have now living in the weird ass province BC, they can't do any of those things you listed correctly. I do love myself some chilli cheese fries, and pretty much everything meat and cheese

and this story, like life, will only end in death apparently

lol

mind blowing random facts that may get things started again: We have a shared ancient common ancestor to trees

I'm not entirely against lobbyists, it's good to have some expert groups inform politicians. But there should be a cap or restrictions on how one can lobby and how much they can spend, and it must be made public.

That German sign confuses me... These days if you're pro-Israel you're anti-Palestine. But being anti-Palestine makes you fascist and Xenophobic....?
I can't even

muddy the waters by throwing in Ephebo

people could propose gun laws to be racists/sexist for wanting to ban them 😉

like they already are?

isn't that essentially privatization?

and there is the crux of democracy

No idea how americans can call it that... toque all the way

there are several other sources, but they are almost copy and paste jobs - I have yet to find this story in any credible news sites

you could argue the 4th reich already exists - the EU and its unelected cabinet is essentially run the way Merkel tell them to run. Germany pretty much commands the EU with minor french support.

I thought that they were skrulls not kree

I don't think any nation has free speech like america

for someone with great memory on the event, she's having a lot of issues remembering last month

helps that 90% of senate/congress have law degrees

it's called party crashing

BAM is right

@RyeNorth it's hard, because if you do an actual search, it's a drinking game, board game , and a drink mix...

yup

same

and I'm not even american

seriously?! senator coons?

that's an actual name?

internet has dehumanized us all behind algorithmically formed groups and caricatures

I just realised.... those two are making the cosby face

I can only see that happen in multi-party systems though, I don't remember two party systems where folks cross the floor

I would see the dissolution of the USA into fractured smaller nation states in the next 20 years...

or is it that Kanye hasn't changed but the world has become so crazy, that he sounds sane?

Working in the games industry - that is a heavy landmine

one wrong word and you could lose your job

hell, it almost feels like an underground rebel movement if you work in this industry and hold cetre, centre-right, or right values

I have never heard more complaining about capitalism and promotion of communism than in my industry... like they wouldn't even have an industry to work in if they lived under communism. Look at china, the completely closed down for nearly a year and folks have been crippled.

it's insanity

since march

the government stopped release of all new titles until they've created their new "review system"

and after that, it will apply retroactively

there will also be a quota starting 2019, which you won't know if you make the quota until after you finish the game

the government and communism needs to control the media

so there is no dissent

or undermining the government

xi jinping is moving the country back into the communist direction and dismantling corrupt captialists

and I'm a halfer 😛

@Paradox china plays the long game, in another decade or so, the Hand chinese will have officially wiped out their former emperors, Manchu. Han Chinese are over migrating and eradicating Uighurs, doing the same to Tibetans.

not just asians, but I've seen a lot of legal africans (usually central) also become hard workers and do well (at least here in canada)

_insert libertarian view_ If people started moving to affordable places that still accept their skill set, the real estate values would also normalize

ah, the CBC at it's finest...

never too much boomer-ness
I inherited on old betamax camcorder with that massive blinding spotlights that still functions

'member when only fringe nut jobs sent those kinds of letter because "jesus made them do it?"
I 'member...

She did grow up in east germany and played in eastern german politics before the nation unified...

and so the cold war begins to get warm

but they are deluded enough to think they can

potentially horrible with the black hole, _BUT_ if we manage to stabilize and contain one, we could potentially generate infinite energy.

All it takes is the power of 1 black hole to produce another, and harnessing that energy would be what we'd need for warp drives.

jokes are used to undermine government efforts and risks the "Stability" of the nation, they will not be tolerated.

Chad neoliberal not advocating for the extermination of the welfare state?
sounds like a false chad to me

do you like beer?

there is the odd time where the conservative opinion piece makes it onto the cbc site, but agreed, cbc is trash.

I used to advocate the need for government funded news as a way for bipartisan views, as they didn't require a for profit model. But when Peter Mansbridge retired, the whole system began to implode into ideological idiocy.

fast? that took far longer than I was expecting

share that shit

I just thought that was a conspiracy I didn't want to put weight towards it - but if there is sizable evidence....

@Undead Mockingbird
doesn't that give black the advantage in counter moves?

same with Go, black has advantage

clearly playing a game that preferences black advantage is now the social norm?

I liked beer

I still like beer

I drink beer

people not afraid to die

zapp brannigan style, throw bodies until they surrender or ask for peace

Thomas Sowell has some good reads

so... what NAP are you folks talking about

cause it's very confusing in contexts of Network Access Protection

ah

didn't founding fathers not want political parties because of their corrupting factors?

@Tohob that sounds oddly canadian

so angry - make phone call/write letter of complaint

trump tweeton his 2020 victory night

all psychology studies show children and teens as well as seniors (points where the brain is still developing or in full degradation ) are highly susceptible to influence and authority - so if it is social norm, they accept without question.

so if the teacher doesn't believe, it's far easier to imprint that ideology on children

so in a generation (or less) we can see due process completely scrapped

if trends continue

also the reason I fervently oppose the voting age being dropped to 16...

on the paper it should be who to vote for and brief description of the platform. Get the platform wrong or no platform listed invalidates the vote

there are many ways to substitute for taxes, don't abolish but mitigate the need for a large amount of taxes

one year, I had to ask my company to not give me a raise or make the raise bigger, the small-ish raise they wanted to give me would have had me cross the tax bracket and I would have far less take home

PPC have 20k party members now and acquired almost 400k in donations since it was announced and it's not yet tax deductible

they have a sizable following
