it passed. it fucking passed. i don't think people realize what they're about to use this for (or at least they don't fully realize the implications).

i think that more and more journalists in america are starting to realize they might end up like Viktoria Roshchynas one day if they don't chill their reporting.

they're deployed specifically to republican-majority states:

but you said those boots were made for walkin.. i can't keep up with all these mixed messages

i got the joke i saw about the game engines, but i don't get the autoerotic reference

you fucking got me with that one. kudos.

definitely worth picking up if you're fine with whatever the price is (i assume it's pretty cheap). it's a great game for people like me who need to do something mouse-only while they smoke a joint. many hours of "aww what the hell" but in a good way.

edit - "what the golf?" is another one like that

i just wrote a whole fucking paragraph, hit send, and it disappeared. i need to remember to write my shit in a text editor when i'm on lemmy.

i defy anyone to show me any other reason that this historic swing solely due to the actions of one particular idiot.

i went on in my first draft to describe how politics in canada still have some nuance, and that this was an indication that TONS of people who were ready to kick red to the curb had to hold their noses to vote for our sovereignty.

but - to me - this shouldn't be the way things should be going. i agree with a lot of people in that the liberal party really needed a reckoning. if harris won in the us, i'd have been fine with a conservative pm. but pp definitely didn't do himself any favours, either, and it would have been a lot of OTHER people holding their noses to vote pc. hell, i've been impressed with doug ford lately, and i didn't think i'd ever say that.

so now that i've typed this up in xed, we'll see how many tries it takes to get it to stick. my guess, given my luck, is that it'll work on the fucking first try now.

sorry, force of habit. i'm actually a middle aged dude from canada. (i hope you have a good sense of humour)

it was actually a few days into my first year of college. i remember waking up, seeing it briefly on the news before making my way to school (remember, this was before cell phones and a lot of web stuff). when i got to school, i remember standing just inside the door by the bar watching it all unfold on one of the big, ugly CRT televisions they had mounted in the lobby area. i called my dad, but i don't remember the conversation. back then i was still a dumb kid in the dial-up internet days, and i was on a big Nostradamus kick. i remember my ex-girlfriend called me up all freaked out because she remembered me talking to her about some shit i read that sounded a lot like what happened at the time. (i don't believe that stuff now, but it was all really freaky as a kid at the time)

oh, sorry germany. that was a "joke". i was just making something we call a "joke". i'm sorry to have disrupted your flawless efficiency :P

okay, so i guess you're team cheese now and i'm team broccoli. that's fine i guess..

..have you washed your fucking feet this week, team cheese? (:P)

you're just advancing my other theory that only sociopaths consider Cesar a salad :P

that one's actually SO foreign and culturally bizarre to me that i'd just HAVE to try it. and as soon as my hovertext showed it was a youtube link, i knew exactly which video you posted lmao

it also demonstrates what can happen when multi-million-dollar media organizations don't polarize your electorate. politics isn't a fucking team sport, america.

we got you, homies. i still can't believe the swing, but then again i can. it's weird getting used to this new reality sometimes. i can't emphasize just how dead in the water the liberal party was just a few months ago.

lol. try passing THAT law. you think congress is going to provide funding so that idiots don't hurt themselves? they won't even let them learn to read any more!

despite one's political beliefs, it's undeniable that this is a monumental upset. six months ago, this wasn't even a question. wow.

"it's a baby shower, tom."

Conkie over in the corner making weird noises..
