Well, you see, the technical issue that's stopping them from selling it is called "canibalization of sales", which is technically an issue for their marketing department.

"We want the people who will stop talking to their toxic, shithead parents forever at 18 to suffer juuuuuust a little bit more, and a little bit longer.

"Coming in 3 years, once it becomes clear that this didn't get rid of the gay queer trans liberal socialists, we'll be increasing the age of majority to 38 and require employers to report all pronouns, nicknames, wages, or salaries to parents."

Here's the thing, though: Whenever you have a position like "Person for Group", that Group is being singled out for a reason.

And that reason is lack of representation.

To put it another way, so have a Minister for Women is a tacit acknowledgement that the others operate as if men are the default person. All of the other ministers are Ministers for Men.

Jerry O’Connell looks like he desperately wants to be anywhere else

He's worried that people will discover his secret identity, and distracted by trying to find his way home to his native universe.

by the left since they’ve taken power

When and where did they take power? Because they've never made government nationally in Canada, and provincially there hasn't been a leftist government since the NDP functionally abandoned democratic socialism in the 90s.

And they already upsell power blocks hard. This is not new with USB-C.

Though, I laughed when my wife bought a new iPhone a few months ago and I discovered that the charger block they're selling is a USB-C block. They fought tooth and nail to keep it out of their phones, claiming it wasn't good enough, but slapped it on the other end of the lightning cable just fine.

You're caught up in the "hurr durr, she so dumb". I didn't say she showed it on her podcast, I said it's an ad for her podcast, and it's all the more successful for everyone sharing the image. Any of us who had never heard of it now know it exists, and what it's called.

Again, no one cares about the URL. They're not going to use it. They're going to google the name and successfully find it, because Google finds it just fine. You're laughing at trivialities while she's successfully getting her shit out there to audiences.

And they raised a conniving political predator who will sell us all out so that he can join the moneyed elites.

What's your point?

It's stupid, but also it's meaningless. People don't actually enter URLs into web browsers anymore, nor do they pay any attention to the URLs that are plastered over everything. They google the name of the thing they want to access, and "the right view" is easy enough to find.

Worse, it's a podcast, so it's website is just an ad for the actual thing, just like the background is, so it's not like she actually cares if anyone goes there. She wants them to search iTunes or whatever for it.

Laughing at her for the meaningless typo while she successfully markets her shitty podcast is just smug and empty catharsis. It's patting yourself on the back for noticing that your neighbour forgot to turn their lights out when evacuating as wildfires convert your entire neighbourhood to ash.

What a weird way to spell "compulsively sticking its nose and guns in everyone else's shit".

propaganda

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Extra-judicial killings?

Industrialized rape?

Daily mass murders?

Setting an awfully low bar with this one.

Famine?

Any year now, given climate change.

It’s hard to imagine what hardship truly is when you live in the second best country in the world.

Your own privilege within the country is just dripping from your posts.

Canada is the 12th safest country in the world. The US is 129th.

Can we just stop comparing ourselves to the States for once? Our Literally Fascist Neighbours don't warrant any consideration when discussing the quality of life here.

We have it very good here.

Which segments of the population are you choosing to speak for here, exactly?

f the breakup of monopolistic industries in the first half of last century was a durable solution that produced a virtuous cycle, why are we where we are today?

The rich have class consciousness, and own the media companies, ensuring that the poor never risk coming close to developing it for themselves.

Once you have enough money to meet your needs, all money is is power.

"I have what I want, and I don't care about what others want" isn't the argument you think it is.

I wonder if any of them called the cops to suggest that the puddles had a gun. Any reports of the popo ramming the rain?

Journos don't lead, they follow. While ostensibly they're on Twitter to promote their articles, in practice they're there to follow politicians and keep an eye on trending hashtags.

Something buzzworthy needs to happen on the Fediverse first.

If a Threads user is following you, they need most of this information. It's literally how the Fediverse works. The only thing that isn't is your IP address, and that's something that I'm not sure they'd even get. That might be your host's IP address.

Remember, the Fediverse isn't a bunch of iframes looking at 3rd party websites. It works by mirroring remote content. A follow is literally a request to ingest posts from a user.

Almost double mine. Meanwhile, my home's value has increased by like 50% since 2019. It's insane, untenable, and unjust.
