@VirgilMSW @AlobhaPatrick Oh... 🥲

@AlobhaPatrick Attracting women to not have sex with them is pretty gay.

His dick might also not work because he’s anxious and an idiot. Or he’s gay. Six, one half dozen, or the other

@KahlonRav Ravi if this is the case can you explain why BC labour market is moving in the wrong direction? Also why did your government stop caring and making progress on housing?

2/2 B.C. is attracting record investment, and we're making real progress on removing the interprovincial trade barriers holding B.C. and the Canadian economy back. Through #LookWest jobs plan, we're building an economy less reliant on outside forces. news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2026J…

As global uncertainty grows, B.C. is doubling down on investing in #BCjobs & the economy. The war in Iran & tariffs are having a real financial impact on people & businesses which is why projects like LNG🇨🇦 & Coastal GasLink's new commercial agreements matter more than ever. 1/2

@TFCNU2 Yeah our governments have completely lost the plot when it takes a quarter million dollars a year to live the lifestyle of 85k 30 years ago.

The claim that middle class earners pay a 53% tax rate is so absurd as to be laughable. If 258k is middle class, we've lost the plot.

@SarahTheHaider Honestly, sometimes I think the internet should require a license to use.

It feels as if there is no point at all in cultivating your own audience on this platform. X will hide you from them, or force you onto some horde that doesn’t know you, so you have to reduce your take to the lowest level of intelligibility.

I’m begging @X to allow creators to opt out of appearing in the “For You” tab. I like my own followers, all I want is to be more visible *to them*. I can always tell when the algo is boosting me to strangers by the onslaught of stupidity.

@Lizquidity Happy belated Liz!

what a blessing that the world didn’t end on my birthday. between this and last year’s “black monday” that wasn’t, that’s two years in a row where catastrophe was averted at the last moment, landing on this very day.

@PierrePoilievre We have exceedingly high deficits. Talking out of both sides of your mouth.

Mr. Prime Minister—you are getting up to $9 billion in windfall revenues from high oil prices. That money does not belong to you. Give it back. Stop taxing gas. Save families $1200 at the pumps this year.

@Nomadhidinghere There was an interesting study done on this at Yale that you might enjoy reading. It was convincing to me. budgetlab.yale.edu/research/buy-b…

This is where your mistaken. The bank pays taxes on the interest it receives, the yacht maker pays taxes on the yacht it sells, and the billionaire pay sales taxes on the yacht it buys. The employees who build the yacht pays income tax on their wages, and the collateral for the loan continues to produce value. Your solution makes that happen less, as less people would take out loans.

Scrooge McDuck economics is fiction. Bezos doesn't have $222 billion. He has assets valued at that amount. In order to get that, you would have to force liquidation. If that were to happen, only wealthy people would be able to absorb those assets, further concentrating wealth. Warren is an idiot.

@Nomadhidinghere Ah yes it's the second. It's about capital going endlessly untaxed because of loopholes when it's already taxed less than income. It's about tax fairness across all income levels.

You want a new tax to pay for insulin. Or, You just have some weird moral issue with people not getting taxed on loans (which contributes to economic activity, i.e. someone has to build the yacht the billionaire is buying, and the bank can redeploy the interest it receives on that loan to other loans that lead to economic activity). I'm not sure why that money is in better hands in the government, especially when the purpose, as discussed, is to inflate the price of insulin.

@Nomadhidinghere I can understand that argument. I just don't see how this relates back to what I was talking about in regards to regulating borrowing against appreciated assets to avoid taxable events.

The core issue is that Canada does not actually pay for innovation. It benefits from the research and development funded primarily by other countries, especially the United States. This approach works well for Canada as long as others continue to bear the costs of creating new drugs. The global market tolerates it because Canada represents only about 2 percent of the worldwide pharmaceutical market. If the United States were to adopt a similar model of strict government price negotiations and controls, drug prices in Canada and other countries would likely rise substantially. At the same time, the discovery and creation of new drugs would suffer, ultimately harming human progress and long-term health outcomes.

@hannahspierMD Why the need to paint cluster B types as calculating?

Cluster B is not as modern therapy will have us think a disorder of emotional dysregulation. It’s an adaptive strategy that works. Behavior that pays off will persist. The meltdowns aren’t random nervous system shut downs, they are escalations to move others into action.

@Nomadhidinghere I'm unable to track how this relates to my comment on regulating the buy, borrow, die loophole. Perhaps it's the example because in Canada drug prices are set through government bargaining. I follow when it comes to education.

Your first suggestion still runs into the same problem. Prices are determined by what people can afford to pay. If I have $100 to pay for insulin and you give me an extra $100 subsidy derived from these taxes to pay for insulin, this means I now have $200 to pay for insulin. The price will rise to match that amount. Who benefits? The three largest manufacturers of insulin are three pharmaceutical companies in Europe, which own 90% of the market share. This situation is identical to federal backing of student loans, which has led to colleges becoming wealthy beyond imagination without any comparable increase in the quality of education. The individual purchasing insulin is in the same position they have always been. You have simply inflated the price of insulin and taxed producers, which has decreased their ability to produce. It's a boondoggle.

@Aella_Girl @SchrodingrsBrat What about giving your child the experience of loving a sibling?

@SchrodingrsBrat thats why im only ever going to have one child. having two would mean i miss out on the most fulfilling expression of infinite abundance

What poly people intuitively get about love is that it’s the only infinite power in the universe (a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle type beat) but they miss that the fullest, most fulfilling expression of infinite abundance is actually to give it all to one person

@DoctorPerin How does therapy actually result in change?

Psychology and psychotherapy AMA 👇

@JacobDTarr @DoctorPerin Sounds like the treatment is resistant to working for the patients.

@DoctorPerin What is the hope for long term patients who are resistant to treatment?

@UpTambourine @DoctorPerin I don't think it's very subconscious lol.

@DoctorPerin Subconsciously chasing security?

Women chase older men, why are people still surprised by this?

@FinEconGlobal Breaks my heart what they have done to this once great country.

@Theholisticpsyc @be_like_ice Don't spread misinformation. Only with unqualified therapists.

@be_like_ice As a therapist, I can assure you this won't be found in therapy.

Suicidal people deserve a space to talk about their suicidal feelings without risking hospitalization/institutionalization or being accused of being manipulative or attention seeking

@orrdavid @MikeFritzell Yes 100%

@MikeFritzell Is anthropic the best thing and I'm missing out?

@ClaireRattee Thanks for taking up this issue Claire, I've been following Somers for a while now and our public policy has been a disaster on this front.

A simple question. Another non-answer. The Minister says the data was transferred. The government’s own letter says: “All data must be destroyed… including all backup copies.” I spoke with Dr. Somers. He confirmed it was destroyed. So where is it? Either table the data, or tell British Columbians the truth.
