As someone who was unemployed until recently, all I can say to this is: Fuck Trump and those bullshit tariffs he unilaterally imposed. I was laid off the day they first came into effect, and their impact made finding a job in what used to be a very active sector of the economy a nearly six month ordeal.

I don't blame companies for adjusting to economic adversity and changing regulatory landscapes, nor do I personally blame Carney or the Liberals for not rolling out stimulus packages in that constantly changing and shifting landscape. I'm happy they are doing this now of course, but let's not forget that the sole culprit of this nonsense is that bloated orange wannabe dictator in Washington.

Good riddance. Sadly the internet knows no boundaries, but it's a start at least.

So very true. Dressing for cold is so much easier than heat it's mindboggling to read some of these summer fan comments. Like, do you guys actually live on the same planet as I do? Cause this one sucks the minute temperatures go past 20c.

"I have concepts of a plan..."

To some extent the majority of JRPGs fit into this trope. It's a long running joke that it isn't a JRPG if you don't end up fighting a god with the power of friendship.

I was already in favor of Trudeau stepping aside to let someone else run, but this has convinced me even more that this is the right direction for the Liberals. It would instantly invalidate the years worth of vitriol the conservatives have fomented towards Trudeau personally (see the "fuck Trudeau" merch) and send them scrambling to drum up the same amount of baseless hate towards whoever runs in his place. Personally, I think this is the best play the Liberals have, and a masterful way to make the Cons look like they have no platform other than outrage.

Don Jr really can't stop saying the dumbest things and making himself or whoever he's talking about look worse in the process. I'd say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, but I honestly think he's actually even less aware than his dad.

That last part is the terrifying bit, honestly. Trump is an egomaniac with the attention span of a toddler. He's an unguided projectile of spite and vanity.

Imagine someone competent filling his shoes with the unprecedented powers that were recently granted by the supreme court and the rabid MAGA fanbase behind them.

The potential for lasting damage goes (even further) off the scale. I shudder to think what that might actually look like.

Honestly, in the event Biden loses, the best hope the US has is Trump's general incompetence.

I'm happy to hear England's argument is crumbling before their eyes. These statues belong in Greece.

Having lived in several different countries with both public and private healthcare, I can say with confidence that privatization is the death of a healthcare system.

Health for profit makes everyone's care worse except for the really rich, who still end up paying more under that system than they otherwise would have.

Even something like government reimbursemrnt for privatized healthcare means public health care suffers, as public institutions now have to compete with higher salaries paid by private hospitals, slowly eroding the system from the inside out.

There's no such thing as cheap healthcare, but public systems are a hell of a lot better at keeping it affordable and accessible.

It could be used for cyberstalking, but it's not expressly built for that use case I think. All it does is spit out sites that have a matching user name on file. It's actually quite useful for periodic social media / account cleanup to check for account you created for one reason or another and no longer need / have grown dormant.

In that sense it's similar to something like Mine.

Yeah, I'll look into that. It's just a shame to have to do extra work and spend extra money because a company decides to screw you over after your purchase.
