@RichardHanania Seems partially right, though I wonder if you're focusing more on people who get tattoos everywhere where its super visible and ignoring people who get like one hidden somewhere

It’s very interesting that even though these girls like to party, they don’t have a single tattoo between them. No surprise they went to Harvard, Caltech, etc Tattoos are a sign of low IQ and bad judgment, even among those at the same event.

@paleochristcon @TheOmniLiberal This is what a debate brained person would say and not somebody who actually tries to understand what the other person is saying would say. Now queue "Well Destiny does this too therefore I should be intentionally retarded." - Its all theatrics.

@TheOmniLiberal Your criticism was that I strawmanned your position about there being no moral facts. I would propose we debate on if in fact I did. I don't in fact think you believe in moral facts so what was the strawman?

Debate what? On whether or not you can have moral preferences without believing in objective moral fact? Sure, give me the exact prompt, one debate of you going over the subject, and a couple of weeks to prepare and I'll gladly do it. As a side-note, I will be expecting the same level of epistemic justification for your perspective as you do for mine, and no amount of you squirming around screaming "internal critique! internal critique!" is going to change that.

We should learn from the events of Iran that our greatest asset for dealing with the U.S. is control of our natural resources and that keeping a close relationship is actually a good thing. Diversifying trade probably isnt that big of a deal.

@WarMonitor3 Except coal, natural deep water harbors and insulation from the wars of continental Europe. Their geography was actually pretty good to be fair.

Britain conquered a quarter of the world from a small island with little to none natural resources which was in poverty from the depression of the Middle Ages. What’s your excuse?

🚨THIS IS WILD🚨 CBC's Rosemary Barton started out celebrating Mark Carney’s majority. Then a reporter called him “autocratic”… live on air. Watch what happens when he backs it up with receipts.

@nyaraVT A lot of people are gonna be mean about this but this is seriously uncompelling when you engage in repeated slander and lies about other people, you know that right? What you're describing is a thing people with clout go through, which sucks, but you're doing the thing.

The thing about being a vocal trans person on the internet and having people constantly push fake BS about you, is that it messes with you. After constantly being portrayed as a groomer, etc for wanting trans kids to live and having people go as far as fake screenshots to radicalise weirdos on the internet and put my life in danger, I got paranoid. It doesn't matter how often I debunk these things, transphobes will still push it because it's not about the truth.. it's about silencing me. They know that the majority of people won't second guess these claims. Even if people look up like "nyaravt age of consent" they will find clickbaity thumbnails with out of context clips or straight up lies, while me debunking these things aren't ranked as high. This has made it difficult for me to step away from social media and focus on my own mental health. It makes it that you constantly feel like you need to be ahead of these things.. to know what your opposition is saying, which means you're stuck endlessly searching for your name on all platforms, exposing yourself to constant emotional and verbal abuse. As someone who says a lot of things that people with bigger platforms have issues with, I also get involved in drama constantly and I have this FOMO when stepping away from my socials. I will always speak up, I will always be visible, but after a while these things get exhausting. It wastes so much time and drains you from your joy in life. The current political and social climate doesn't really make things better right now, but I'm still glad that I transitioned. I'm glad I went on this long and difficult journey to be more aligned with myself. I'm also glad that I can help others feel seen and give them a space where they can be themselves, which helps me keep going despite all of this. I'll still upload videos / stream and be here, but I've been way too chronically online and it's been messing with me, so I need to take a step back. Anyways.. I'll be live again tomorrow @ 5pm CEST on Twitch /nyaraVT

"Justice Minister Sean Fraser says he has significant concerns with the way the provinces are overriding Charter rights by invoking the notwithstanding clause, and he's prepared to establish guardrails around its use at the federal level..." If the provinces are the problem, and they are, why only restrict it at the federal level? The plan at Confederation, and for decades after, was that the federal government would prevent provincial governments from abusing rights, using the disallowance power. Eventually that role was taken over by the courts, and the Charter. But if the Charter is fast becoming a dead letter, via the notwithstanding clause, then Canada would be left, for the first time in our history, with no effective protection for rights. That is, we will, unless the feds act. The feds have the power to protect our rights. They should use it. Charter at a turning point as it turns 44 | CBC News cbc.ca/news/politics/…

If you ask me, the Administration should be putting out propaganda that DOWNPLAYS his age.

idk why everyone feels like they need to have positions on everything political when they have 0 real engagement with politics, also lol at having "pro-capitalist" and "anti-socialist" as different points, why not just list every single mode of production while you're at it? > Both "left" and "right" people can be pro-Capitalism, see: every single capitalist Scandanavian country (that's all of them) > Idk wtf it means to be "pro-billionaire", like, I'm opposed to their execution, or..? This is just sloganeering, it means nothing, and it comes from people who aren't seriously invested in political discourse beyond using it as a social media aesthetic. > Idk wtf it means to be "pro-Israel" either, like, I don't think the country should be entirely dissolved? Again, you're distilling everything down to simple slogans without understanding any of the underlying facts or political ideologies that surround the concepts. > I am indeed anti-socialist. Most capitalist are, since socialism precludes any capitalism existing in its society, making them diametrically opposed to one another from the socialist perspective. I'd reference my first point, though, in saying that there are plenty of "left leaning" people who aren't socialists. Interesting that your analysis completely leaves out any social issues, too. Very inconvenient for terminally online white, rich people to have anything to say about those, I guess.

@hollowearthterf Thinking back on it, it feels like the best way to fix this is to take these types of kids, break them in a really shitty job for a year or so, then bring them back. My best grades ever were going from shitty factory work to 2nd college program.

Lower income/lower IQ boys are actually just a massive problem in class, highly disruptive, often aggressive towards other kids, can completely ruin the environment, and historically weren’t educated for a reason. It’s not the teacher’s fault, they just need to be removed

@RareOrangeman @KristyT The hurdle you're looking at that feels big isnt actually that big.

A lot of this 'gifted' discourse comes from people who are 'grandma smart' but exist in the worst station: the ungovernable midwit. Meaning slightly above average in intelligence, but not elite and also undisciplined.

@Lunay678 Not every old gen game was the same in this regard. Main difference is that you had limited resources.

I do agree that the prep was never anything remarkable, for sure. But the game made is so that if you didn't, forgetting or whatever, you got severely punished for it. Making so you either have to grit your teeth through the quest or restart. That's the main difference, I think.

@BakedDChromo You have a very strong opinion on a game you didn't play lmao

As a matter of fact what positives did Dos contribute to this franchise outside of Nargacuga, Shogun Ceanataur, White Fatalis and Chameleos because just about every other monster introduced in that gen is a genuine disgrace to humanity as a whole

Its actually absurd how every problem this community has can be traced back to freedom unite

@JJ_McCullough @Brex_667 Its incredible how everyone in the replies goes through the motions but is entirely disconnected from the fact that the house, made up of members elected by their constituents, go against the desires of their constituents by giving confidence to a leader they voted against

@Brex_667 Our system cannot function without political parties. The prime minister is head of the largest party in parliament.

Liberal gaslighting about Canadian politics gets pretty exhausting. Like, the parliamentary system literally couldn’t function if we “voted for the person not the party,” but now they’re acting like that’s somehow always been understood as the objectively “correct” way to vote.

Question: Why are the Conservatives (and NDP) not revealing the names of the Liberal agents trying to poach them?

I've heard the argument that there's nothing in the rules to stop a PM from seizing a majority via floor-crossings. Well if we're getting technical, there's nothing in the rules to stop Governor General Mary Simon from dispatching the CAF to declare war on a Caribbean island.

@JasminLaine_ I hate this idea that we should throw norms out the window because x politician did a bad thing by blowing it up. I want to live in a DEMOCRACY

People saying Pierre should step down are acting like we’re still in the old Canada. We’re not. Carney just pulled off something that’s never been done before—using a loophole to build a majority—and instead of outrage, it’s getting applause. And now those same people want to turn around and lecture everyone else about how politics is “supposed” to work? No. You don’t get to break the system, benefit from it… and then demand everyone else respect rules you just blew up. The precedent has changed, old “norms” no longer apply. You cheered for it, and were excited for this, don’t stop now…

@CrabberGrabber @KoalaDaora In all fairness, purple had the same multiplier that white had in Dos and both required handicraft. The changes to armor were much bigger.

@KoalaDaora Getting access to purple sharpness immediately upon entering high rank was one of the game decisions of all time. Its a goofy game, hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

The fact is that the games have been casualizing since Tri, sanding down or removing mechanics to focus on combat more. Eventually the series will be reduced to combat focus and it's already showing signs like FM. This is why I've been craving older games more than new ones.

@Lunay678 Freedom Unite is just not the example to be going to. Portable games generally sanded down non-combat mechanics and they became more popular.

The media is being disingenuous with Canadians. This time pretending that Mark Carney earned his majority government tonight at the ballot box. The truth is, these were already Liberal seats – two of them among the safest in the country (the previous Liberal MPs recently resigned). Mark Carney’s real majority was obtained through backroom deals and floor crossings over the past 6 months. The first time in more than 150 years of Canadian history that a Prime Minister has sought the almost unlimited power of a majority government not through a mandate from voters, but through their very deception and deceit. Counting on the individual weakness and duplicity of a handful of MPs to overturn the result of a democratic election and concentrate power that the Prime Minister may covet, but does not deserve. The Liberals may consider this strategy to have been a success, but as the shine of their government, and Mark Carney, inevitably wears off, and the electorate realizes they are left with a different leader, but the same policies, as Justin Trudeau, voters may well resent the fact that in many ridings their vote will feel stolen, their voice silenced, and the verdict of Canada’s democracy, rejected and ignored.
