If nobody votes for the party that actually represents their interests, then shockingly the party that represents their interests will not have a shot. It’s a self-defeating strategy.
“Strategic” voting is a long term recipe for a US-style system where there’s only room for two parties.
I sincerely hope you learn something from this. This is the Liberal m.o. and has been for years. They’re a big business party, and don’t have typical Canadian’s interests at heart. Their most redeeming feature is that they’re not the Cons.
If you actually care about bettering the lives of typical Canadians, then look at what parties have track records of getting results. (Hint: A lot of Canadians just got dental care.)
One can of pop exploding in there was enough to traumatize me into never forgetting again.
Lemmy is filled with thigh-sock wearing, Arch-using catbois isn’t it?
Mreww :3
Man, what a defeatist attitude. “If I can’t fix everything, why even bother to make small changes for the better.”
Edit: Oh, I see. This is a shitpost. Nice b8 m8, then. Ya got me.
And it’s a damn shame too, because it’s a very cool looking symbol. Stupid Nazis ruin everything. >:(
Sounds like this Men fellow has multiple personality disorder or something.
While I agree, an outright ban on a specific category of porn, especially when there seems to be no evidence that it actually encourages problematic behaviour, seems rather silly. Seems more like a personal vendetta than well thought out policy.
I mean, those seem like pretty good laws. They have carve outs for consent, but still punish reckless behaviour, even in a consensual setting. I’m not sure how this is related.
Speaking in the House of Commons, Dame Diana Johnson told MPs: “We know that the increasing prevalence of this kind of content… is fuelling violent sexual encounters.”
I find this somewhat dubious. If you know this, why not show your work? Show us a study on the matter. Lots of people enjoy sex involving their own pain or humiliation in a healthy and consensual way. Banning a specific type of porn because it makes you feel uncomfortable is puritanism, and has a pretty poor track record of success on actually curving negative outcomes.
If you’re really concerned about people getting the wrong message from porn, then why not require porn to have pre/post checkins with the actors/actresses to affirm that it was made with enthusiastic consent. Seems to me this would do more to stop some of the real problems the porn industry has.
“They put a tax on companies that were American companies that they shouldn’t. A very, very severe tax,” Trump said. “And, yeah, I guess they could remove it. They will. But I mean, it doesn’t matter to me.”
“We have all the cards. We have all the cards,”
So, if I’m understanding this correctly, you hold all the cards, but it’s up to Canada to decide whether or not they remove the very, very severe tax, and you have no idea if they will or not? How is it that you hold all the cards? 🤔
It’s a valid and moderately common construction. This is called the generic (or indefinite) form of you. It’s primarily used as a colloquial or less formal substitute for one.
But yes, you do have to infer whom you is referencing from the context, so I could see why some might find it more confusing.
The “you” in the 3rd panel refers to the hypothetical shop owner referenced in the 2nd panel, not the dude she’s talking with.
Man, my life is kinda sad, but at least it’s not “join a community specifically to hate on stuff” sad. What hosers.
But Cammack, who opposes abortion and co-chairs the House pro-life caucus, told the Wall Street Journal she blames messaging from pro-abortion groups for delaying her treatment, which is not banned under Florida’s restrictive statutes, who have created fear of criminal charges.
She… Uhhh… Oh. She’s a moron. A hypocrite and a moron.
Hes got to be drunk tweeting, right? Right??
How do you misspell your own name?!?
If I get to play with the toe beans, I’ll go to the store and buy you a whole pack. Tsch… just don’t smoke them around me.
It doesn’t if you don’t connect it to the internet. Fortunately most smart TVs still have HDMI inputs so you can use them as dumb TVs with a PC.
As much as I’d enjoy the schadenfreude, you’re right. It’s impossible to take a principled stance if you only enforce it when it suits you.
