"I like getting fucked over" is a weird thing to brag about but aight

This line of argumentation is deranged.

Nicotine is somewhat addictive. It's not that bad on its own. Quitting nicotine vapes was about as hard as quitting caffeine for me.

I believe in an adult's right to choose, and harm reduction. The government isn't here to tell us what's morally right and wrong, it's here to define our rights and privileges. It's fine to restrict where one can smoke or vape because that involves other people. I think it's a waste of government resources to try and tell people what they "ought" to be doing with their own bodies (because they will never succeed, and it's not their job.)

The GPL already forbids distributing without the source code being available. People who break GPL will break this license too, and they will have even less resourced to fight it. I wish people would stop writing their own licenses and just get behind the GPL. There's already tons of lawyers familiar with it.

No thanks. The 4 freedoms are essential. Everybody using this is going to be shocked when they implement ads and/or sell it.

And ebikes. But they might have to do something about the whole "governments with no jurisdiction ripping out bike lanes" thing.

I don't forsee another wave like this for the liberals. This was about 1 thing only - keeping Pierre out of office. The general public will forget by next election. There must be a good leftist candidate by then.

Liberal politics are that of free market capitalism. They are supporting the same systems that have been hurting us for a while now, just with a rainbow flag behind them. Obviously fascists are worse but our decline is going to continue under the Liberals because they're fundamentally incapable of challenging the systems that are responsible for our problems.

Haha no. I would buy a big box bike and just run it into the ground before paying for pedal bike share. Ebikes are expensive, less so now, but you can get something that functions as a bike for like $120 new. You should know how to do basic mantainance though and assemble it yourself. Second hand bikes are a good option too although you'll likely have to do more work on it.

I run a pivpn setup so that nothing is exposed to the internet at all. It's just too dangerous now. It was bad back in the day, but now I literally have bots trying to join any public facing Minecraft server. It's so many times worse now than it was a decade ago.

People with money will always find a way to run away from consequences.

Safest car in the world that can't even avoid a fucking Looney Tunes wall. Sure.

Reflexive contrarianism isn't a good look.

Watching them go through the stages of grief is immensely satisfying. Should've thought of that before you threatened our sovereignty.

Tim Walz is fucking killing it.

Crypto is just the newest way to skirt regulations. Fuck em

Agreed on all counts. Additionally, living wages need to be paid with "casual" no hours jobs disincentivized (I.e. full benefits for all workers). Rent is more and more of people's income, and it's not solely because rent is rising although that is a giant part of the problem.

Still, I'd ultimately want decommidification, but literally anything that will actually ease the problem is good in the meantime.

Canadian Tire treats their employees like shit. You are shopping at Canadian Walmart, nothing more.

Most TLDs basically mean nothing because there's nobody who enforces what they mean. .tv domains, for example, is the TLD for the country Tuvalu, but I dare you to find me a website for the Tuvalu people ending in it.

The fact they're mad means it's working. Hold!
