I don’t bother with the stuff either, to be fair. Generally it just stops someone getting more tired, especially if it starts to be more of addiction than anything else.

But I guess it all goes back to the idea I mentioned of people being afraid of the concept of not having 100% energy at all times of day. Instead of trying to find solutions we should instead be asking why executives and fuckers like that demand unsustainable hours from people, especially as study after study shows that a four-day work week with six-hour days is hugely productive compared to what we consider normal.

I have…thoughts.

That’s the modern adult’s coffee addiction. “Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my stimulant” should be getting us to ask why our work hours force so many of us to need get jacked up on caffeine just survive the morning.

Different guy here but I get it. That sounds truly heinous. There have plenty of “socially accepted” things that I just cannot get behind because it’s obviously wrong. Like, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that maybe enslaving human beings, even when your society doesn’t fully count them as such, or hitting your wife is bad.

Strategic voting is a huge mess. The NDP doesn’t even get the chance to really fail and when they do get to influence policy they do generally positive things like when their coalition was able to get the Liberals to behave.

Maybe they wouldn’t be able to hack it, but they at least have generally better goals for the country and we desperately need to threaten this cancer of an idea that there are only two parties. Right now the country is either far right or half-ass centerist and things just keep getting worse. We’ve tried the Liberals and we’ve tried the conservatives and they both don’t work that well so we really have nothing to lose and worst case scenario we would prove that we aren’t a two-party system in a cheap disguise.

The last election was dogshit awful for strategic voting because of just how bad PP is and Liberals still only barely made it. And Carney’s still gunna let that loser try again after being kicked out of the riding I’m from.

“I don’t see any escape routes” “really only two choices”

The NDP are right there. You can prattle on as long as you want but if you want to see change then you have to ask for it. He NDP has popular ideas and they were behind so much of the good stuff the Liberals put their name on but people act like voting for them just isn’t possible for some reason and then moan when people they did vote for don’t care after about them after the election.

The only thing that truly matters is your vote and if you don’t use it properly, while complaining that you’re getting what you ordered, there’s just no helping you.

Look, as long as I have time to clean up afterwards there’s no shame in her asking for help and then adding on something extra if she’s feeling it. I will always do what I promised to do and anything more is, well, more.

Besides, showing up without tools and expecting sex is fucking weird and fixing someone’s stuff out of the kindness of your heart is rewarding no matter how the evening turns out.

That douche bag CEO isn’t gunna get his life back and so on top of the reviews we got:

  • One dead asshole, hell yea.
  • That one company rolling back their decision to charge even more for anesthesia.
  • A whole lot of people learning even more about how fucked up healthcare really is.
  • A bit of an uptick in class solidarity
  • One step in the right direction.

Shut the hell up, is what I’m trying to say.

Pressed by the newspaper about whether the campaign stop was an autism awareness event, Armstrong claimed “it’s always autism awareness because I’m an education advocate” and said she spoke to those gathered about autism at one point.

I swear to god, these people are straight cancer.

Also that argument is dead on arrival because they expect you and businesses and the entire city to pack up and leave as if it would cost nothing. They also have literally said “just sell your house and move” but like TO WHO?! Who would buy that house if it’s in such a fucked area?!

If anyone ever says “just move” you know they have zero concept of the word “community” or “moving costs” or “nuance”. They just don’t want to address the cause of the problem because they’re, at best, cowards.

According to Wikipedia that is because the bird-hipped ones looked like modern birds and the names came before we realized the error.

Hooray!

It would be an awful lot easier than trying to salvage Biden’s image as it stands. If they do it right this should be super easy, but if they drag their heels on the changes necessary then it might be a lot harder.

This is BIG opportunity to rebrand and show what really matters to the party.
