I know he was a letdown due to not doing electoral reform but he went out on a high note. I’m gonna miss not having a thirst trap PM.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

He is damn fine. I would let him tell me why he's sorry.

Naked.

Kilometres.

A meter is a device, a metre is a unit of length.

[-] dom@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago

Isnt this the difference between American and Canadian spelling? They spelled it the American way?

[-] LimpRimble@lemmy.ca -3 points 6 days ago

And, it's kilo metres, not kilom etters.

It's like the difference between micrometre and micrometer.

I don’t know who I am anymore. For years, hating Justin Trudeau wasn’t just a pastime—it was my identity, my purpose, the fuel that kept me going. Every scandal, every policy, every smug press conference gave me something to rally against, something to sharpen my arguments and justify my frustration. And now? Now he’s gone, and I’m adrift in a world that suddenly feels empty. Who am I without the daily outrage, without the certainty that everything wrong in Canada could be traced back to him? I spent so long defining myself by my opposition to Trudeau that I never stopped to think about what came next. Now that he’s out, I feel as lost as a ship with no lighthouse—no villain to fight, no cause to cling to, just an unsettling silence where my rage used to be.

You have been a victim of weaponized disinformation.

Justin was just the face of a craven centrist party who leans whatever way the public will vote them in for. He just was a popular and somewhat irreverent and surprising figure and he caught fire with voters, and then when the Liberals did the same shit they always did but just with his sunny presence stamped on it, the disinformation trolls led you to believe he was the person responsible for all of that. When he's only a part of it really, and a massive engine drives everything the party does, funded by deep pocketed people who control everything in truth, and also on the other side pay the people who feed you disinformation from the conservatives with their cringe little commercials and big talk every time Trudeau and the party misstepped. A lot of people held their nose and voted for him because they don't want the conservatives, and I'll hold my nose and do it for Carney too, but I'm sick to death of old white men.

I really recommend you learn what disinformation is before you decide on any other beliefs. Here is a primer. https://www.cna.org/reports/2021/10/psychology-of-disinformation-key-psychological-mechanisms

I really hope the guy you're replying to forgot their "/s". Otherwise... at least they're self aware.

[-] howrar@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 days ago

It feels very much like a copypasta

[-] twopi@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

Either it is already or needs to be one.

[-] pubquiz@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Shilling for the American military's right wing hawks is beneath most. It's where the term "Ugly American" originates. CNA is a toxic mix of jingoism and pseudo-intellectual screeds. Using CNA diatribes as reference material is worst than dishonest.

It's lazy.

No villain to fight? How about the orange demon and his Nazi-Apartheid emerald mine nepo baby henchman?

[-] TheDorkfromYork@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

Take a chance on Justin's heart. ❤️

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

You can thank the Trudeau liberals for the metrication 😉

[-] twopi@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

We got two Trudeaus and two invocations of the War Measures/Emergencies Act but only one Metrication commission.

We need a second Metrication Commission to finish Metrication.

[-] Kaput@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Yeah get rid of the fucking Fahrenheit pool thermometers .

[-] twopi@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

Didn't realize pool temps were measured in Freedumbreich.

[-] noob@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I mean if he’s 6’ tall I’m dtf. Otherwise get lost scrub.

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 1 points 6 days ago

Literally your second post in 2 years of Lemmy?

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago
[-] twopi@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

' is feet or minute depending on context

" is inches or seconds depending on context

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 5 points 6 days ago

How do you measure things in feet? Everyone's feet are different sizes, that doesn't seem like a reproducible way to make anything.

[-] twopi@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

Easy, since Henry the VIII the foot was defined as 12 in. What's an inch you ask? Well an inch is 3 barleycorns placed side by side. Which 3 barleycorns? That doesn't matter it's close enough.

Ladies want you to last 6 minutes now fuck got go crank a few out so I last

[-] easily3667@lemmus.org -3 points 1 week ago

That's weirdly ignorant but that's ok, everyone can learn something new. ' is shorthand for foot, which was a historical unit used in various forms for several thousand years.

Since 1959, the foot has been an SI-derived unit, being pegged to precisely 0.3048 meters thanks to the Commonwealth of nations, including Canada, agreeing with the united states to set the value as a metric unit as part of both nations' slow but steady moves towards the metric system.

[-] AlDente@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

Now SI units are getting pegged? When's my turn?

[-] easily3667@lemmus.org 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

There's some websites that can set you up but I'm not sure Lemmy is one

Unless you're looking for a more... anonymous style of interaction.

Edit: apparently I'm wrong, several Lemmy users seem to be offering 🍆

[-] n2burns@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

if he’s 6’ tall

Not sure what unit of measurement this is, but most reports list his height as ~186cm

[-] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago
[-] n2burns@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Okay? Still not sure what unit that is.

This sub is for Canada, where every unit of measuring length is based on the meter!

[-] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Apparently six apostrophes is equal to 182.88 cm. Seems like a rather arbitrary value to me.

[-] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The inch is exactly 25.4mm btw, it's metric all the way down!

[-] easily3667@lemmus.org 1 points 6 days ago

Actually the US is pretty heavily metric. There just isn't much purpose to making everyone change millions of road signs and millions of cars so they match.
