  • them taking this data without a warrant is illegal, this whole thing goes against the constitution, specifically our right to privacy. then theres the fact that they would be sharing it with the united states government. also illegal.

  • wrote my MP about it, they sent an automated email, justifying it further, so i sent another, and then someone wrote another thing justifying further.

    they dont give a shit, all members are going to vote on it regardless of whether or not the people they represent want it.

  • found a few familiar resources in iran that the western world and its allies would love to gain full control of.

    Oil Due to the vast quantities of crude oil reserves within Iran, the nation is considered an energy superpower. According to official records from the Iranian government, in 2006, the crude oil reserves in the nation were estimated to be 132.5 billion barrels. At the time, Iran's reserves were estimated to be 15% of the total reserves of all the members of the organization of petroleum exporting countries. In comparison to the rest of the world, Iran's 2006 oil reserves were approximately 11.4% of the global reserves. After the discovery of oil reserves around the town of Bushehr, the oil reserves in Iran increased by roughly 32%. According to the International Monetary Fund, the monetary value of Iran's oil reserves was estimated to be $10 trillion. The Iranian government entered into several agreements with oil companies from a variety of nations such as the United Kingdom, Russia, the Netherlands, and Spain to develop the oil reserves. Several oil refineries are situated within Iran's boundaries with the most prominent being Abadan, Esfahan, and Bandar-e Abbas. The main method of transporting Iranian petroleum is through the pipeline. According to a study carried out in 2004, pipelines in Iran transported roughly 69% of the refined petroleum products.

    Natural Gas Iran also has massive reserves of natural gas that according to official government records are estimated to be 1,201 trillion cubic feet. Iran's reserves are some of the largest in the world as they account for close to 18% of the world's total. The only nation with larger gas reserves than Iran is Russia. In 2011, the Iranian petroleum minister released a report indicating that Iran's reserves of natural gas had increased significantly due to the discovery of gas reserves within the Caspian Sea. The Caspian reserves were estimated to be 50 trillion cubic feet. Iran is currently exploiting a limited amount of its natural gas reserves, and on average it exploits 5.5 trillion cubic feet annually. The Iranian government has planned to invest huge sums of money in improving the gas industry. The government has planned to set aside $15 billion every year to increase the annual natural gas production. The Iranian government is planning to take advantage of the increase in the demand for natural gas all over the world. Estimates indicate that over 20 years the global demand for natural gas would increase by either 2% or 3%. Some of the main markets for Iranian natural gas include China and india

  • good, great game otherwise. but the endgame PVP which you are essentially working towards playing through the whole game is just completely unbalanced zerg terratory. everybody has a thopter and just rams you to death. its like getting swarmed by giant sweaty mosquitos.

    collision damage of any kind could help. at least in the deep desert. also land vehicles are vortually useless here because the sandworm threat is so constant. so everybody literally HAS to use thopters.

  • i make time. i also work in film which is a feast or famine, contract based industry. you make quite a bit of money, and i value free time more than material things. so i can stretch my dollar quite far.

    i invested in a gaming PC, and a home gym. i work out at home, cook at home, play vidja at home. i really only go out to shop for groceries or visit friends and family.

    video games have always been a social outlet for me, and a comfort as well. so i make time for it.

  • you do make valid points. and i agree with many of them.

    however a bill like this, even if applied altruistically by the current government, doesnt mean it cant be taken advantage of by another government in the future. we nearly got a conservative government that played hard on anti immigration, anti asylum, and anti refugee policies, among other less tasteful ones. they wanted to go hard on crime as well, and what they may think of crime tomorrow may not be a crime today. retroactively punishing people who are immigrants, or use the internet in a way that is legal today, but may not be tomorrow, is pretty fucked up.

    for instance, just one example, a horror story what if scenerio, unlikely, but still very possible. what if we get an american compromised PM? or just a homegrown asshole who likes trumps work? And they want to start going after trans people, purchasing their meds online? or just looking into it? we are currently seeing parties in BC and alberta forcing people into rehab clinics and psychiatric care against their will, through new or potential policies. at the discretion of the police, and whoever may or may not control them now, or in the future.

    with a law like this, they could comb records, finding trans people, gay people, political dissidents, etc. and send them away to clinics, even prisons, forcing them against their will to take medication they may not need, effectively sedating, and potentially killing some, just for their search history.

    also, we are likely heading towards a new world war, and climate change will increase climate refugees and asylum seekers as well. this could lead to the deaths of thousands, hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of others who likely might have survived otherwise. just because in 2025 a government passed a law that made it easier for a less compassionate or maybe even fascistic government to block aid, or even hunt people they dont like.

    thats my main issue with the content of this bill. its a glaring issue that shouldnt be pushed to the side for the sake of percieved safety in this moment. things could get better, but they could also be much, much worse.

  • it was to create a profit loop for the worlds wealthiest that contributed to his movement, while also making himself and his family even more wealthy in the process.

    destroying the US is just a bi product of that massive wealth transfer.

    also it was a sociopathic narcissist at the end of his life trying to immortalise himself for as long as possible.

  • the Strong Borders Bill is being sold as a security measure but it tramples over basic rights. First off, it retroactively disqualifies asylum seekers who crossed irregularly and didn’t file within a year, even if they had legit reasons like trauma or no legal help. That alone throws out the idea of fairness and due process. Instead of a full refugee hearing, they’re shoved into a weaker risk assessment process with low success rates.

    Then you’ve got the cabinet getting sweeping power to cancel or suspend immigration documents and stop applications, just by citing “public interest.” No oversight, no clear rules, nothing stopping them from targeting whoever they want.

    They also gave themselves the power to open mail, including letters, to “combat drugs.” That’s a huge privacy red flag. Once you open that door, it’s hard to shut it again. Add to that expanded info sharing with U.S. agencies, and suddenly personal data is flying across borders with no way to track how it’s used. (this alone is enough to toss this bill, ESPECIALLY now)

    Worse? The bill barely allows for appeals. If you get caught in the gears of this thing, there's almost no legal way out.

    This undermines core Charter protections, Section 7 (liberty and security), Section 8 (protection from unreasonable search), and Section 10 (rights upon detention). They say it's Charter compliant, but that's just PR. In reality, it's a blueprint for unchecked executive power and a direct hit on civil rights.

  • if the republicans are willing to wheel out congress members in their 80s who live in assisted living conditions and are deep into the throws of dimentia to pass bills.

    they are going to shove a broom stick up his ass after he dies and work him like a puppet until his skin rots off. even then they might duct tape him back together for another "red wave"
