@lavish_lerven @Whatapityonyou This shows the individual in question RTing Brianna's own non-Free Palestine post, with no added commentary, which is generally seen as an endorsement. So he's not a Free Palestine guy, and Brianna is wrong. For bonus points, Brianna indicates she's even more anti-Palestine now.

@Whatapityonyou I'm guessing the guy is who retweeted her, but the retweet is about treatment of Jews in America, no? is the implication that if you think antisemitism exists in the US, you can't be free Palestine?

Fucking amazing

@Milajoy The terms of the title you purchased from the government did not include exemption from property taxes, that's why. In a very real way, private property ownership (outside of exceptional circumstances) is more of an indefinite, transferable lease.

My home is paid off. Why do I have to pay property taxes on it?

@tobi47rieper @one_Chris_J @99thinkaboutit @blueicetrike @Milajoy #History" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_… "By 1796, state and local governments in fourteen of the fifteen states taxed land"

@one_Chris_J @99thinkaboutit @blueicetrike @Milajoy I don’t see why government should get a portion of that. And neither did the government 100 years ago.

@WillieArwontie @Liv_Agar I did answer your initial question. You've been spinning out since. I'll answer it again, for your benefit. The left "fears" Pierre Poilievre because it disagrees with his policies while -also- believing he's fundamentally dishonest and intends to do even worse than he admits to.

@CousinUniversal @Liv_Agar why? you already decided to argue in bad faith. answer my questions first, then MAYBE you can make demands. till then, stop being a moronic hypocrite lol

A majority of the Conservative Party’s base are piggies who love their slop and don’t care that it is electoral poison and I frankly think that’s beautiful

@WillieArwontie @Liv_Agar en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Aski… The exact phrase. It's not even a little bit obscure; you'd have found it instantly.

@CousinUniversal @Liv_Agar what would i even search for? you haven't even properly explained your position lol

@WillieArwontie @Liv_Agar When I provided a citation, you dismissed it without citation. Your demands of unequal standards, and labor investment, in the conversation are not persuasive.

@CousinUniversal @Liv_Agar see? you cannot defend your argument. you are a moron with horrible takes

@WillieArwontie @Liv_Agar Pierre Poilievre has followed a strategy of deliberately echoing political points, rhetoric, and sentiments of the US right. It's transparently true. You can argue that's good/fine/acceptable/a nothing-burger, but you can't substantiate that it's not true.

@CousinUniversal @Liv_Agar nope, you just said shit like "it came from the states" when asked how, you fly off the handle and do childish ad hominem bs. you are showing yourself to be the moron you claim i am

@WillieArwontie @Liv_Agar I properly explained my position at the very top of the conversation. If you'll recall, this started with your question "why is the left so scared of pierre?" I answered that. My answer is even correct if you disagree with the substance of my characterization of Pierre.

@CousinUniversal @Liv_Agar Then properly explain your position lol

@WillieArwontie @Liv_Agar Maybe you could show me how it's done, then. Properly defend your position that "what's not organic is the woke movement". With full citations, of course. Eager to see you lead by example

@CousinUniversal @Liv_Agar you "feel" some way so not factual. and I KNOW you cannot properly defend your argument since you refuse to aswer simple questions about your position. you position is bad when you cannot defend it. that is my position, ergo my position is good. deal with it lmao

@WillieArwontie @Liv_Agar Nah I'm not doing that brother

@CousinUniversal @Liv_Agar How is he doing that though? Step by step play, with citations

@WillieArwontie @Liv_Agar I earnestly hope you can appreciate why using the precise phrase "just asking questions" is extremely funny. If you don't already, I encourage you to google it. Regardless, no, that's not true.

@CousinUniversal @Liv_Agar Im just asking questions lol, questions cant be talking points...

@WillieArwontie @Liv_Agar Nah, I explained perfectly well, you're just engaging in performative ignorance as a rhetorical tool. You've also been slipping in commentary throughout this conversation but substantiated none of it. Your strategy is transparent, but worse than that it's boring.

@CousinUniversal @Liv_Agar Nah, you're the one who is supposed to provide proof of claim. You fail to do so. You have not sufficiently answered a single question to properly explain your position lol. So please, YOU tell me more lol

@WillieArwontie @Liv_Agar I really feel that's more down to the level your reading comprehension operates on than my explanations. I can't explain around you leaping to conclusions based on nothing. Certainly not preemptively.

@CousinUniversal @Liv_Agar Nah, they are bad. You cant even properly explain your position, therefore its bad.

@Barrowwight @Sonik_Phan @ryxcommar I would find it to be an even greater priority to vote blue in reality, actually. The existential stakes underpinning the selection would be, well, existential. That's the reason to vote blue!

@CousinUniversal @Sonik_Phan @ryxcommar People have to volunteer for dying. This will feel a lot less nice in reality than pretending it in a poll.

I think it would be kinda fun to vote blue. We'd be posting memes like "blue gang rise up" and "wagmi" and "blue man group" and when we all end up living, we'd throw a party and the red voters wouldn't be invited. Gametheorycels would never experience the joy of being a bluechad.

@Tired_Devilman @Juss_JoJo_ @Pissedoffotaku @jonathanshaya @Pirat_Nation Price hikes can't retroactively make games that have already been purchased unplayable.

@Juss_JoJo_ @Pissedoffotaku @jonathanshaya @Pirat_Nation Yea its a bad change that is always either serves no purpose or harms the user it sucks Bug I have seen more people complain about this than when they increased the prices maybe its an algorithm thing but damn

PlayStation support has confirmed that a new digital rights management policy for the console is intentional, not a glitch. Starting with any digital games purchased after the March 2026 system update, your PS5 will require an internet connection at least once every 30 days to validate the license. If the console stays offline longer than that, the games simply will not launch until you reconnect. This change does not affect any titles already in your library. Setting a console as your primary system also will not bypass the monthly check-in.

@WillieArwontie @Liv_Agar I promise you I'm perfectly capable of forming my own opinions in response to what I see coming from the south with my own two eyes. I am, on the basis of my own internally held beliefs, vastly more critical than the cbc of... probably any and everything you like.

@CousinUniversal @Liv_Agar On the note of watching cbc...never said you did. But thats what they run with and it trickles down through social media. BTW, they are about 3 or 4 talking points further. You are supposed to be arguing about how carney doesnt own Brookfield lol

@WillieArwontie @Liv_Agar What I said is that Pierre is borrowing from partisan US politics. This is chiefly a complaint that his platform is not relevant to Canadian political concerns; it is not rooted in the logic of "foreign=bad". This is a problem in your thinking, not my speech.

@CousinUniversal @Liv_Agar Lmao....aaaand there is where you show more stupidity. Everything you have said is negative about the states, saying the bad things from the states are coming here. That is anti American propaganda. Designed to make people angry with the states. You are dumb

@WillieArwontie @Liv_Agar -I'm- the one regurgitating talking points? Amusing, tell me more.

@CousinUniversal @Liv_Agar Oh wait, they aren't even your ideas. They are the talking points the left regurgitates. Have you ever even had an original thought in your life?

@WillieArwontie @Liv_Agar My ideas are exclusively good, actually.

@CousinUniversal @Liv_Agar Says the guy with bad ideas.

@jdcmedlock His takes disappoint me, frankly. The risks aren't "rogue AI slipping the leash". The risks are economic, political, and capital concentration, all at the direction of very real humans. Tech robber barons. Also, to be clear, fantastical lying paired with every one of those points

I've genuinely found Bernie's engagement with AI issues to be delightful. Wish other politicians were as engaged. x.com/mattyglesias/s…

Agree with this, but also appreciate Alex Bores' take here.
