It’s not whether you trust one absolutely or not.

It’s always, as ever, relative. You pick between the options for the best bad option or you abdicate your vote and then must suffer (potentially) the worst of both worlds.

I use gpt to prototype out some Ansible code. I feel AI slop is just fine for that; and I can keep my brain freer of YAML and Ansible, which saves me from alcoholism and therapy later.

There’s a story. If you search you’ll find it readily.

Everyone wants more change. Everyone wants the fascists to fail miserably because, well, they’re fascists.

The goal is to slowly steer the Exxon Valdez so it avoids the coastline and doesn’t capsize. In this metaphor, violence (even the stuff we allow them to start) will capsize the Valdez.

Demonstrations aren’t always about drama: they’re about the show of potential resistance as well.

My dad, when I was a kid, used to open the door quickly, look down at my visiting friend and say “Who the hell are you?”

Sad story time.

A friend of mine was visiting one of our mutual friends nearby in the big city while I was in the far, far outskirts. He was such a positive influence that I agreed to come visit at the same time and catch up, as he was always a great time. This excellent friend always brought a gallon of stories, his usual infectious manner, and this time he brought a surprise new girlfriend.

I did the “who the hell are you” and she got put off. It went reeeally poorly. They left for home the next day, ahead of schedule, back to America. He shut me out. Over the years he kinda shut everyone else there out, too, as far as I know, as he focused on the birth of two kids in succession and then his wife’s affliction with an aggressive debilitating disease; it may have been ALS. He shut a lot of ancillary things and people out, and I get that of course, but I am disappointed that my last interaction was a bombed joke.

It’s been 18 years. I finally booted him from my social media about 7-8 years ago.

I have some gov contracts and I can confirm this.

Also: the big complaint about working with gov is either apparently expensive stuff and/or apparently slow progress .

Reality? We as citizens require a crazy amount of justified checking and validation from every part of gov because it affects people’s lives that things take longer and cost more to do right … and many times that to back out a fuck-up and not kill anyone. (Oh Hi Elon)

“ha ha funny shirt! But can you imagine people BELIEVE that lie?!? Classic Uncle Morty!”

I certainly hope so! I have too much to do for just one life!

That was us last year for the provincials. The nationals had massive day-1 turnout.

I hope it continues. I hope we can get a stunning amount of turnout.

Is there a list I can search?

The tamaraRubin site is challenging.

Is this going to be an excellent wish-list for the person most likely to split our vote and cause PP to be elected?

If Mark gets in on a minority, I want Jagmeet’s support to hinge on a timeline of achievements toward rank-choice voting as a baseline. Healthcare and housing are a good 2 and 3, as long as the former includes eyeglasses and universal dental as prescribed.

I want jagmeet to be the force he was before he overplayed his hand. He was doing really well pulling the strings and giving Justin a scapegoat for any improvements.

Let’s take this in a different order without changing ideas presented:

liberals […] buying his shit

That pushed correlation == causation by labeling environmentally concerned people and people who like a post-petrol system as liberals. Not an accurate overlap, and inherently a bad-faith comparison …

helped boost his wealth

… used to demonize ‘liberals’, whoever the fuck that villianized label means today

I’d assert no one on the planet said “I want Elon to be richer and so I will pay way more for this car” despite its - honestly when it had lidar - best positioning for one-day self-driving and raft of amazing features alongside those abjectly dumb decisions about door-handles and (now) frame concerns and other safety requirements.

I’d want to see some kind of justification to this accusation those mean librulz were conspiring primarily to make fElon richer .

I just hate the fact that

Claiming this as a fact is just beggaring the question. And that’s what I hate.

Thank you for not saying “best practices” like it’s a volleyball team. I really worry Americans’ grasp of those ‘uncountable’ mass nouns is declining.

Yay! Canada’s included in the joke!
