There's a universe in which a Conservative leader with an ounce of charisma was in charge 2 years ago and is now cosying up to trump.

Thank heavens Poilievre sucks so much.

Every time... (media.piefed.ca)

If we can't be bothered to vote in the primaries, wjy would anyone believe us that a progressive candidate would somehow lure millions more to vote?

As I know the comments will be, uhhh, fun, I've turned off reply notifications.

Apologies if you've already seen it, friend shared it the other day and I was howling, figured you folks might enjoy. If not, well, that's a bummer man.

(Also, I think video is okay but if not allowed in this community, apologies!)

That cut and paste job is worse than I remember, sorry.

I get it but damn, a good friend who lives on the other side of the country phoned a few months ago and we just shot the shit for an hour. It was as surprising as it was amazing.

Just giggled as my last meme mentioned trouble with displays and appropriately, a large chunk of the replies were "well MY displays work just fine!" (And charmingly, many were thoughts of things to check, other distros etc. It's a very kind community, though that may also be the fediverse.)

Edit: I'm glad so many of you have had no issues with multiple monitors. My set up is a little unusual (3rd display is an infrequently used large tv hooked through the receiver) and is definitely solveable but will take some effort (and honestly, I'd rather spend my spare time outside or with friends, so who knows when I'll fix it.)

.ml is there and available on the fediverse in the same way that warm and somewhat leaky packs of discount meat are there and available on the shelf.

Some production.

My understanding is the ingredients are still Canadian (Manitoba) the distilling is in Canada and then, 1 of the 2 bottling/mixing plants is relocating with the other staying in Canada.

Admittedly, the facility which is closing has gotten a large share of headlines, so I can easily see the confusion.

Don't give her ideas!

So that's why Megyn was splitting hairs the other day!

I'm not sure about pure evil so much as sociopathic. I worked briefly in door to door sales, got taken to some high performer award celebration nonsense and was standing in one of those group circles as people were recounting war stories. "Give her the discount? Hell no. And then I realized she was too old to read what I was writing so I just added an extra year on to the contract!" Huge round of laughter, light applause.

To make it more gross... The discount was standard, we got no extra commission for having or not having it, was purely a free promotion to grease the wheels. He just didn't because, well, the old lady he'd scammed was too trusting.

I quit shortly after.

Don't have much to add but sorry people were dicks to you and Albertans as a whole.

Left, Right, I think everyone is just so used to demonizing those with whom we disagree that folks lose sight that nowhere is a monolith and even the most Conservative province still has a huge number of Progressives (and vice versa.)

Thanks for pointing it out though. I definitely will casually drop a "fucking Alberta" when Smith starts shit and forget how that sounds to the million(s?) who don't support her.

More time for consumerism!

the lowest bar of effort.

This feels a bit disingenuous.

We're in the middle of trade negotiations that affect a huge swathe of jobs etc with an aggressively pro Israel leader. Considering donald's capriciousness and willingness to punish allies for ideological disagreement, this actually feels like a bit of a ballsy statement.

If I were on the US relations file, I'd be praying no one related this to trump etc.

.ml is a strange little place.

I got one a few months ago that is my abslolute favourite, not sure if it counts. Important context, I'm 40 but still play soccer with folks as young as 20. So, one game I'm defending against a young fast kid and beat him to the ball (barely!) a few times in a row on long ball chases. After the third or fourth time he looks over after the race and says "You're really fast for an... uhhh uh uh, you're really fast!"

He meant so well and it was adorable watching him realize mid sentence that I probably didn't want to be called an old man.
