Yup. That's not even counting the landlords who refused to rent to me because I am a foreigner. Even if I have permanent residency. Despite the discrimination being illegal technically, it happens so much that the government is trying to politely ask them to actually rent to foreigner. They usually give some BS reason like being worried about communicating with the tenant, but will think up another excuse if it turns out you speak fluent Japanese.

I didn't think landlords could do much to make me think less of them, but introducing themselves as a "housing provider" would manage it.

That's actually a thing where I am. There is a fee (usually one month rent) tacked on when you sign a new lease/renew your lease that is basically thank-you money to the landlord for letting you stay there. Yet we don't tip anywhere else. In addition to the security deposit (that virtually nobody gets back), agency fee., and first month rent. It isn't uncommon to pay 5 months rent upfront when you move.

I hate it and usually only rent places when I can negotiate that particular fee away. Which you can, because it isn't legally required anywhere.

They seem to be going with "He joined them AFTER they did those things, so it's totally cool". Like after literally burning people alive they just gave away milk and cookies for the rest of their military duty.

Hard to say, my first instinct would just be that the dog is not being trained properly by the Bidens. German shepherds are very intelligent, but also tend to be very protective of their owners. If they haven't been socialized properly, they could definitely lash out at anyone they think is a threat.

Beautiful dogs and properly trained they can get along just fine with kids and strangers, but you don't just buy one as an accessory.

It's literally everywhere. I expect it from the mainstream news coverage, but it finds its way into everything.

Forum about board games? Anti-China rhetoric (I saw this one very recently). Cooking blog? Better believe somebody will find a way to snipe at Chinese cuisine in there. Tech stories will definitely be covering the horrors of Chinese chip production.

If I could go just one day without being inundated with anti-chinese lines I would be surprised.

My country rolls in with a stunning...18%. Honestly, higher than I thought we would be.

Which, depressingly, is still close to double the US.

If you ever visit China, they have all kinds of programs where you can see them and even help out with volunteer work. Don't have to worry about if they are being well cared for either, they definitely are.

After the zoo that famously starved one of the Panda on loan from China, that makes sense. I still think it was intentional to take out their sinophobia on panda.

Comrades were warning people that Ukraine had a serious Nazi problem and that ignoring it to support Zelensky’s government would normalise fascism

Libs themselves were even reporting on it prior to the war. Every major western newspaper was talking about the issues with fascism and corruption in Ukraine until they realised that they had to quiet down in the war runup.

He is supporting the domestic makeup industry, should really be applauded!

Coincidentally Canadian Swastikas Inc. is seeing a huge increase in orders too.

Probably a test to see how much they can get away with. Support nazi affiliated regiments overseas? Totally fine, there is enough plausible deniability there that the public seems to largely swallow it and hey, it isn't their country anyway.

Standing ovation at home? Still too much for most people. However, enough people bent themselves into pretzels trying to justify it that it has some promise. They may want to revisit it in a couple years.

That would be too easy, game would have to be the opposite. "Find the photo with no nazi imagery!".

Not surprised its Dublin, lots of tech companies moved there. Fairly cheap real estate and a lot of tax breaks, probably influenced the decision more. The PR of being able to say things like this probably just icing on the cake.

He might not make the trip back for extradition, but that is a risk I am willing to take.

The optics of Canada’s parliament applauding a Ukrainian with ties to Nazis

I apologise for my language, as I normally try to engage on good faith with dissenting opinions. But kindly fuck off.

"A ukrainian with ties to nazis". You mean a literal nazi that actually volunteered to join a nazi regiment? That "ukrainian with ties to nazis"? You are bending over backwards to whitewash him.

Being a political strategist in the west has got to be the easiest gig in the world. "Have you considered painting your opponent as a russian asset sir? That way we can dismiss all their arguments as russian propaganda. No, it doesn't matter that you want to actively murder your constituents, they won't care".

Wait is that...did he?

Oh no.

When "Russian disinformation" is just "information".

"I am sure you see how bad it looks if you report on the facts, so we ask you to instead help us push back against the truth with um...our own propaganda. But for a good cause!"

One would expect the entire governing body of a country (minus apparently two people) to have a tiny bit more understanding of politics and history given that it is literally their job to know such things.

One would be very disappointed in the result if that was their expectation, but it would be a reasonable expectation.
