  • Not for me. If I try smoke or drink before playing a game I'm right out. Gaming's actually what kept me sober for a long while.

    But now games aren't fun and I'm done with life so I just drink and smoke and watch television or go to sleep like a perfectly normal depressed person.

  • Another right wing propaganda:

    These people are absolutely fucking insane.

    If you look on ground news you can see all the different ways this was covered by news media. They're all pretty fucked up to be honest, but surprisingly, there is some right-wing media covering it in a more sane way.

    (This is not a paid ad I just like ground news)

  • There's so much in that article wow.

    Firstly:

    On Monday, Rustad asked the party's attorney general critic, Dallas Brodie, to take down a social media post which critics say amounts to residential school denial.

    After that one candidate's comments calling indigenous peoples "savages" like, fucking wow, get your shit together. Most of Canada's at least pretending to give a shit about the genocide they did now, get with the program.

    Secondly, I'm confused about the "voting with their conscience" thing. I guess I don't know enough about politics but it doesn't make sense to me to make everyone vote for the same thing if they should be voting with their constituents in mind. Not all constituencies are alike, so why would you force them to fall in line and piss off their voters?

  • Does anyone know if there's actual protocol in these situations?

    I actually know someone who died on a plane last year and, while they did at least make an emergency landing at a nearby airport, I've never thought about where they kept the body during that time. I'm not sure if it's appropriate to ask his surviving family that was with him, probably not.

  • Outside of Western religions there are plenty of other cool non-male deities. There's lots of pagan goddesses.

    The only "feminine" or female deity that is maybe as well known as "God" would be like nature as it is often referred to as "mother" nature and in she/her. Though I'm not sure pantheists or other religions would refer to her strictly as a goddess.

    Western religions talk about a male god because western societies are patriarchal; they need it to support a male-dominated societal structure.

  • I agree that the party needs more aggressive leadership but as a person of colour I can guarantee Jagmeet's already weakening support would tank if he was seen as anything less than a model minority. Racist people don't want to see any brown man lead the country, much less an angry brown man.

  • Children are not born with hatred in their heart.

    And as others have pointed out, hatred =/= not innocent. Nobody deserves to die just for hating someone. Even if you could justify killing someone just cause they allegedly hate you, I have a very very difficult time believing that all Palestinians hate Israelis and vice versa. Again, people are not born with hatred in their heart and the actions of a government don't always reflect the feelings of their citizens.

    Also just being pedantic about your disclaimer: opinions are biased. You can't ask for an unbiased opinion. You can make an unbiased (to an extent) statement, but not an opinion.

  • Not to this extreme but I have found it comforting just to hear people acknowledge that it's a fucked up time. Like literally a throwaway line like "with the state of things" or reminding people to take care of themselves or whatever. Something to just recognize that this is not fucking normal but we're gonna continue to try to do normal cause what the hell else can we do.
