Absolutely… I’ve already reshaped my budget the best I can yo beaze for the next 4 years…
If we are lucky he’ll only get a minority but doubt it

Pretty much… Trudeau has been the embodiment of mediocrity but then PP and whatever forces turned that into a meme

I’m like you OP, a fellow Canadian
And we should be worried… We are governed by children and, as such, the company they keep is extremely influential
We are about to elect a PM who has never had a real job outside of government and, somehow, has no political record to speak off.
PP has been leader of the opposition for years now and still has not proposed anything, shown any solution, discussed any alternate path to improve anything.
Like Trump, all he does is lie to the camera and play victim
- Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it 3 weeks ago:
they are just forcing the company to divest from it’s Chinese parent company.
… Or get banned
- Comment on Does enshitification happen because companies are publicly-traded? 3 weeks ago:
They may not have to maximise profits but the shareholders will question every decision that doesn’t maximise profits so the result is the same.
If that were true, we wouldn’t see the obscene salaries of C-suite level execs skyrocket… That money cuts into the profits as well, you know?
They are ok squeezing their workers while giving themselves the sweet life on the company’s dime
That’s why activist investors that push companies to more ethical behaviour are important.
This is a fairy tale force, like Santa or the biggie man. You’ll never get ethical behavior from profit seeking entities

If this is to be used by the IDF against Palestinians, they won’t put in tear gas…
- Comment on Does enshitification happen because companies are publicly-traded? 3 weeks ago:
Publicly-traded companies are required (by law, I think) to maximize profits for their shareholders,
The is not true, stop spreading misinformation
- Comment on Fallout Show, so bad that no one will remember it in 3 months 4 weeks ago:
It certainly doesn’t warrant the high rating on RT. But it’s entertaining, engaging, visually stimulating and a fantastic adaptation of the games
Which is it because an entertaining engaging, visually stimulating show which is also a fantastic adaptation of its source material should have a good rating
I’ve basically given up on ratings and threads about ratings because every idiot thinking they sound bright, reduce everything to either “best ever, Jebus herself couldn’t make it better” or “dog shit that will make you pray for cancer to take your disappointment away”
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 5 weeks ago:
As a Canadian you would have been raised on a hybrid… Food and/or construction stuff has always stayed in imperial measures here
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 5 weeks ago:
Because measuring by weight is simply a waste of time. Full cup have exact measure dump. Simple.
Possibly the most confidently wrong comment I have read here
- Comment on Ask ChatGPT to pick a number between 1 and 100 5 weeks ago:
I’m curious, is there actually so many 42’s in the system? (more than 69 sounds unlikely)
From hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy?

Ehm… I don’t get it
- Comment on Just 2 people. 5 weeks ago:
No I get it, not all churches really can… Nor it is assumed a feasible plan that they may all perfectly distribute the homeless population.
The point is that most churches only talk the talk. I was raised Catholic and never participated in church that did anything more than collect money to donate (and for itself of course). Sure they had some activities and talked a lot about helping others but it seemed the expectations was that we would go out and do good on their behalf

I can’t tell if you are purposefully taking the post literally just to be able to shoot it down… But I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt
Just think of how many homeless people would actually refuse to live in any of these Mega mansions
Or better yet, imagine what these “churches” could do with the literal millions they spend in mansions and private jets to help the homeless… You know, if they actually care about that and were not just tax avoidance operations
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb 5 weeks ago:
But I always assumed that, unless you are blocking competition, it’s not legally a monopoly and harder to penalize (not that they actually penalize monopolies much in north America)
Other than making a good product and easier to run games on Linux, there is nothing preventing anyone to install other launchers or games on their own or game makers from selling through other launchers or independently, etc
- Comment on periodic tablets 1 month ago:
Ah… Thanks for the info, kind stranger
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb 1 month ago:
Steam DOES have a monopoly and that’s inherently bad
Being popular does not make steam a monopoly… My son plays 80% steam games but has Epic launcher installed and plays rocket League regularly
There is nothing in Steam preventing or even making it hard for you to run PC games in any other way
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb 1 month ago:
Thank you… I was reading and thinking “this makes no sense… Does the author know what a monopoly actually is??”
